Forlorn Quotes (page 2)

Then he knew that they had rounded the cape of good hope, and he took her large, soft hand again and covered it with forlorn little kisses, first the hard metacarpus, the long, discerning fingers, the diaphanous nails, and then the hieroglyphics of her destiny on her perspiring palm. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
From my locker I collected my sneakers, jock strap, and gym pants and then turned away, leaving the door ajar for the first time, forlornly open and abandoned, the locker unlocked. This was more final than the moment when the Headmaster handed me my diploma. My schooling was over now. John Knowles
On a ruinous wall I came upon a poster dating from the previous year and announcing that ‘six handsome bulls’ would be killed in the arena on such and such a date. How forlorn its faded colours looked. Where were the handsome bulls and the handsome bull-fighters now? It appeared that even in Barcelona there were hardly any bullfights nowadays - for some reason all the best matadors were Fascists. George Orwell
The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift, The road is forlorn all day, Where a myriad snowy quartz stones lift, And the hoof-prints vanish away. The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee, Expend their bloom in vain. Come over the hills and far with me, And be my love in the rain. Robert Frost
This is the way you look at the poorest details of the world resurfaced, after you've been driving for a long time -- you feel their singleness and precise location and the forlorn coincidence of you being there to see them. Alice Munro
Where are your books? - that light bequeathed. To beings else forlorn and blind! Up! up! and drink the spirit breathed. From dead men to their kind. William Wordsworth
Charlotte Bronte quote: "My habitual mood of humiliation, self-doubt, forlorn..."
My habitual mood of humiliation, self-doubt, forlorn depression, fell damp on the embers of my decaying ire. Charlotte Bronte
Robert Frost quote: "The line storm clouds fly tattered and swift, The road is..."
The line storm clouds fly tattered and swift, The road is forlorn all day,... Robert Frost
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Oft hope is born when all is forlorn."
Oft hope is born when all is forlorn. J. R. R. Tolkien
When the lad for longing sighs, Mute and dull of cheer and pale, If at death's own door he lies, Maiden, you can heal his ail. Lovers' ills are all to buy: The wan look, the hollow tone, The hung head, the sunken eye, You can have them for your own. Buy them, buy them: eve and morn. Lovers' ills are all to sell. Then you can lie down forlorn; But the lover will be well. A. E. Housman
C. S. Lewis quote: "For his mind was full of forlorn hopes, death-or-glory..."
For his mind was full of forlorn hopes, death-or-glory charges, and last stands. C. S. Lewis
I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas. Agatha Christie
I saw old Autumn in the misty morn. Stand shadowless like silence, listening. To silence, for no lonely bird would sing. Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn, Nor lowly hedge nor solitary thorn; --Shaking his languid locks all dewy bright. With tangled gossamer that fell by night, Pearling his coronet of golden corn. Thomas Hood
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "He soon acquired the forlorn look that one sees in vegetarians."
He soon acquired the forlorn look that one sees in vegetarians. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Looking back, of course, it was irresponsible, mad, forlorn, idiotic, but if you don't take chances then you'll never have a winning hand, and I've no regrets. Bernard Cornwell
