Hidden Quotes (page 11)

The eye of a man should be still more reverent before the rising of a young maiden than before the rising of a star. The possibility of touch should increase respect. The down of the peach, the dust of the plum, the radiated crystal of snow, the butterfly’s wing powdered with feathers, are gross things beside that chastity that does not even know it is chaste. The young maiden is only the glimmer of a dream and is not yet statue. Her alcove is hidden in the shadows of the ideal. The... Victor Hugo
Slowly, quietly, like snow-flakes—like the small flakes that come when it is going to snow all night —little flakes of me, my impressions, my selections, are settling down on the image of her. The real shape wil be quite hidden in the end. C. S. Lewis
Toni Morrison quote: "Birth, life, and death -- each took place on the hidden side..."
Birth, life, and death -- each took place on the hidden side of a leaf. Toni Morrison
Perhaps they were looking for passion; perhaps they delved into this book as into a mysterious parcel - a gift box at the bottom of which, hidden in layers of rustling tissue paper, lay something they'd always longed for but couldn't ever grasp. Margaret Atwood
Graham Greene quote: "I like to have a secret love affair, a hidden life, something..."
I like to have a secret love affair, a hidden life, something to lie about. Graham Greene
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "In a real man there is a child hidden: it wants to play. Up..."
In a real man there is a child hidden: it wants to play. Up then, you women, and discover the child in man! Friedrich Nietzsche
Walter from Microsoft catches my eye. Here's a young guy with perfect teeth and clear skin and the kind of job you bother to write the alumni magazine about getting. You know he was too young to fight in any wars, and if his parents weren't divorced, his father was never home, and here he's looking at me with half my face clean shaved and half a leering bruise hidden in the dark. Blood shining on my lips. And maybe Walter's thinking about a meatless, pain-free potluck he went to last weekend... Chuck Palahniuk
I wanted a good place to settle: Cold Mountain would be safe. Light wind in a hidden pine -Listen close - the sound gets better. Under it a gray haired man. Mumbles along reading Huang and Lao. For ten years I havn't gone back home. I've even forgotten the way by which I came. Gary Snyder
She had so mastered the strategies of camouflage that her own history had seemed a series of well-placed mirrors that kept her hidden from herself. Pat Conroy
Little Phoebe was one of those persons who possess, as their exclusive patrimony, the gift of practical arrangement. It is a kind of natural magic that enables these favored ones to bring out the hidden capabilities of things around them; and particularly to give a look of comfort and habitableness to any place which, for however brief a period, may happen to be their home. A wild hut of underbrush, tossed together by wayfarers through the primitive forest, would acquire the home aspect by... Nathaniel Hawthorne
Two thousand million people in the world, and the one who has to decide their fate is is the only one who's always hidden from me. Michael Frayn
Only thin, weak thinkers despise fairy stories. Each one has a true, strange fact hidden in it, you know, which you can find if you look. Diana Wynne Jones
He was there for you, and yet at the same time he was inaccessible. You felt there was a secret core in him that could never be penetrated, a mysterious center of hiddenness. To imitate him was somehow to participate in that mystery, but it was also to understand that you could never really know him. Paul Auster
Khalil Gibran quote: "And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword..."
And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. Khalil Gibran
He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother George Orwell
