Ends Quotes (page 179)

A land not mine, stillforever memorable, the waters of its oceanchill and fresh. Sand on the bottom whiter than chalk, and the air drunk, like wine, late sun lays barethe rosy limbs of the pinetrees. Sunset in the ethereal waves: I cannot tell if the dayis ending, or the world, or ifthe secret of secrets is inside me again. Anna Akhmatova
There must be a limit to the mistakes one person can make, and when I get to the end of them, then I'll be through with them. That's a comforting thought L. M. Montgomery
What was I hoping to gain from this?...Was I trying to confirm the ties that make it possible for me to exist here and now. Was I hoping to be woven into some new plot, to be given some new and better defined role to play? No, he thought, that's not it. What I was chasing in circles must have been the tail of darkness inside me. I just happened to catch sight of it, and followed it, and clung to it, and in the end let it fly into still deeper darkness. I'm sure I'll never see it again. Haruki Murakami
But it is useless to dwell on this period of my life. If I go on long enough calling that my life I'll end up by believing it. Samuel Beckett
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire. I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice,...... I think I know enough of hate. To say that for destruction ice. Is also great. And would suffice Stephenie Meyer
The end and aim of spying in all its five varieties is knowledge of the enemy; and this knowledge can only be derived, in the first instance, from the converted spy. Hence it is essential that the converted spy be treated with the utmost liberality. Sun Tzu
In the end idealism annoyed Bouvard. ‘I don’t want any more of it: the famous cogito is a bore. The ideas of things are taken for the things themselves. What we barely understand is explained by means of words that we do not understand at all! Substance, extension, force, matter and soul, are all so many abstractions, figments of the imagination. As for God, it is impossible to know how he is, or even if he is! Once he was the cause of wind, thunder, revolutions. Now he is getting smaller.... Gustave Flaubert
It has been my experience that most human stories are circular rather than linear. Regardless of the path we choose, we somehow end up where we commenced - in part, I suspect, because the child who lives in us goes along for the ride. James Lee Burke
I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. Roger Ebert
Isabelle Eberhardt quote: "The way I see it, there is no greater spiritual beauty than..."
The way I see it, there is no greater spiritual beauty than fanaticism, of a sort so sincere it can only end in martyrdom. Isabelle Eberhardt
Whenever I hear people talking about "liberal ideas," I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
O poor New England! There is a deep laid plot against your civil and religious liberties, and they will be lost. Your golden days are at an end. You have nothing but trouble before you. . . . Your liberties will be lost. George Whitefield
Rajendra Prasad quote: "In attaining our ideals, our means should be as pure as the end!"
In attaining our ideals, our means should be as pure as the end! Rajendra Prasad
It's something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart--not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end...their love is their only redeeming quality. Stephenie Meyer
When demons are required someone will always be found to supply the part, and whether you step forward or are pushed is all the same in the end. Margaret Atwood
