Grows Quotes (page 95)

My goal is this: always to put myself in the place in which I am best able to serve, wherever my gifts and qualities find the best soil to grow, the widest field of action. There is no other goal. Herman Hesse
John Bunyan quote: "I will stay in prison till the moss grows on my eye lids..."
I will stay in prison till the moss grows on my eye lids rather than disobey God. John Bunyan
Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay. And just as any period decays in our minds, the things of that period should decay too, and in that way they're preserved for a while in the few hearts like mine that react to them. Trying to preserve a century by keeping its relics up to date is like keeping a dying man alive by stimulants. F. Scott Fitzgerald
We split a bottle of Norman cider. Not everybody sells Norman cider by the bottle. "Has a European feel" Susan said."That sounds terrific" I said. "Can I have one?"Susan grinned at me. "How did you ever get to be so big without growing up?" she said."Iron self-control" I said. Robert B. Parker
E. E. Cummings quote: "one pierced moment whiter than the rest-turning from the..."
one pierced moment whiter than the rest-turning from the tremendous lie of sleepi watch the roses of the day grow deep. E. E. Cummings
The woman who creates and sustains a home, and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second only to God. Helen Hunt Jackson
They came to her, naturally, since she was a woman, all day long with this and that; one wanting this, another that; the children were growing up; she often felt she was nothing but a sponge sopped full of human emotions. Virginia Woolf
Just like that. Gone forever. They will not grow old together. They will never live on a beach by the sea, their hair turned white, dancing in a living room to Billie Holiday or Nat Cole. They will not enter a New York club at midnight and show the poor hip-hop fools how to dance. They will not chuckle together over the endless folly of the world, its vanities and stupid ambitions. They will not hug each other in any chilly New York dawn. Oh, Mary Lou. My baby. My love. Pete Hamill
I wonder if other mothers feel a tug at their insides, watching their children grow up into the people they themselves wanted so badly to be. Jodi Picoult
Philip Pullman quote: "You going to be a scientist when you grow up? That sort of..."
You going to be a scientist when you grow up? That sort of question deserved a blank stare, which it got. Philip Pullman
George Carlin quote: "I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows..."
I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic. George Carlin
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only..."
To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting. Erich Maria Remarque
You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose... That selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. It changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. Would you have the sea grow still and the tides cease, to save one wave, to save yourself? Ursula K. Le Guin
A person should be buried only half a meter, or two feet, below the surface. Then a tree should be planted there. He should be buried in a coffin that decays so that when you plant a tree on top the tree will take something out of his substance and change it into tree-substance. When you visit the grave you don’t visit a dead man, you visit a living being who was just transformed into a tree. You say, “This is my grandfather, the tree is growing well, fantastic.” You can develop a beautiful... Friedensreich Hundertwasser
The dead leave their shadows, an echo of the space within which once they lived. They haunt us, never fading or growing older as we do. The loss we grieve is not just their futures but our own. Kate Mosse
