He Quotes (page 122)

He will show you how, during the springtime of life, illusions, innocent hopes, silver threads of gossamer, descend from heaven and return there without ever touching the earth. Honore de Balzac
He was feeling happy. It was one of the strange discoveries a man can make that life, however you lead it, contains moments of exhiliration; there are always comparisons which can be made with worse times: even in danger and misery the pendulum swings. (The Power and the Glory) Graham Greene
He shimmered out, and I sat up in bed with that rather unpleasant feeling you get sometimes that you're going to die in about five minutes. P. G. Wodehouse
Mary Oliver quote: "He is exactly the poem I wanted to write."
He is exactly the poem I wanted to write. Mary Oliver
He seemed to hasten the retreat of departing light by his very presence; the setting sun dipped sharply, as though fleeing before our nigger; a black mist emanated from him; a subtle and dismal influence; a something cold and gloomy that floated out and settled on all the faces like a mourning veil. The circle broke up. The joy of laughter died on stiffened lips. Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad quote: "He was ruined in every way, but a man possessed of passion is..."
He was ruined in every way, but a man possessed of passion is not a bankrupt in life. Joseph Conrad
He wept for truth which was dead, for heaven which was void. Beyond the marble walls and gleaming jewelled altars, the huge plaster Christ had no longer a single drop of blood in its veins. Emile Zola
...he arrived late at the office, perceived that his doing so made no difference whatever to any one, and was filled with sudden exasperation at the elaborate futility of his life Edith Wharton
He was thinking about automated teller machines. The term was aged and burdened by its own historical memory. It worked at cross-purposes, unable to escape the inferences of fuddled human personnel and jerky moving parts. The term was part of the process that the device was meant to replace. It was anti-futuristic, so cumbrous and mechanical that even the acronym seemed dated. Don DeLillo
He was handsome then if never before, bound for one of those immortal moments which come so radiantly that their remembered light is enough to see by for years. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "He is a [sane] man who can have tragedy in his heart and..."
He is a [sane] man who can have tragedy in his heart and comedy in his head. Gilbert K. Chesterton
He hated the men floating in sleep in the big stone houses. Because their lives were ordered and their rooms tidy. Because they got up every morning and did their public work. Because they weren't going to dynamite their factories and have naked parties in the fire. Leonard Cohen
Nathanael West quote: "He felt like a bottle that is being slowly filled with warm,..."
He felt like a bottle that is being slowly filled with warm, dirty warter. Nathanael West
Don DeLillo quote: "He'd come to know himself, untranslatably, through his pain."
He'd come to know himself, untranslatably, through his pain. Don DeLillo
He was a Frenchman, a melancholy-looking man. His aspect was that of one who has been looking for the leak in a gas pipe with a lighted candle. P. G. Wodehouse
