William Makepeace Thackeray quote: "In the midst of friends, home, and kind parents, she was alone."
In the midst of friends, home, and kind parents, she was alone. William Makepeace Thackeray
All through the short afternoon they kept coming, the people who counted themselves Father's friends. Young and old, poor and rich, scholarly gentlemen and illiterate servant girls—only to Father did it seem that they were all alike. That was Father's secret: not that he overlooked the differences in people; that he didn't know they were there. Corrie Ten Boom
Percy Bysshe Shelley quote: "In friendships I had been most fortunate. Yet never saw I one..."
In friendships I had been most fortunate. Yet never saw I one whom I would call. More willingly my friend Percy Bysshe Shelley
If any of us had heard the word "feminist" we would have thought it meant a girl who wore too much makeup, but we were, without knowing it, feminists ourselves, bound together by the freemasonry that exists among intelligent women who know they are intelligent. It is the only kind of female bonding that works, which is why most men do not like intelligent women. They don't mind one female brain if they can enjoy it privately; it's the idea of two or more on the loose that upsets them. The... Florence King
If you had a table spread for a feast, and was making merry with your friends, you would think it was kind to let me come and sit down and rejoice with you, because you’d think I should like to share those good things; but I should like better to share in your trouble and your labour. George Eliot
Suzanne Collins quote: "It's my new best friend, Claudius Templesmith, and as I..."
It's my new best friend, Claudius Templesmith, and as I expected it, he's inviting us to a feast. Suzanne Collins
My letters! all dead paper, mute and white! And yet they seem alive and quivering. Against my tremulous hands which loose the string. And let them drop down on my knee to-night. This said, -- he wished to have me in his sight. Once, as a friend: this fixed a day in spring. To come and touch my hand ... a simple thing, Yet I wept for it! -- this, ... the paper's light ... Said, Dear I love thee; and I sank and quailed. As if God's future thundered on my past. This said, I am thine -- and so... Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Tyrion let the eunuch help him mount. "Lord Varys," he said from the saddle, "sometimes I feel as though you are the best friend I have in King's Landing and sometimes I feel you are my worst enemy." "How odd. I think quite the same of you. George R. R. Martin
Maybe I was nave to think that silence was implicit complacence, instead of a festering question. Maybe I was silly to believe that friends owed each other anything. Jodi Picoult
One of the principal functions of a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments what we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies. Aldous Huxley
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Dead men are not friends to living men, and give them no..."
Dead men are not friends to living men, and give them no gifts.(Ghan-buri-Ghan, of allies during war) J. R. R. Tolkien
William Penn quote: "Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they..."
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. William Penn
In the aftermath of the recent wave action in the Indian Ocean, even the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williamson [sic], proved himself a latter-day Voltairean by whimpering that he could see how this might shake belief in a friendly creator. Williamson is of course a notorious fool, who does an almost perfect imitation of a bleating and frightened sheep, but even so, one is forced to rub one's eyes in astonishment. Is it possible that a grown man could live so long and still have his... Christopher Hitchens
I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, didn't bother to spring for two joints - heaven and hell. They're the same place, but heaven is when you get everything you want and you meet Mommy and Daddy and your best friends and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. Hell is the same place - no fire and brimstone - but they just all pass by and don't see you. There's nothing, no recognition. You're waving, "It's me, your father," but you're invisible. You're on a cloud,... Keith Richards
Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening. Allen Ginsberg
