Incident Quotes (page 4)

Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "The more outr and grotesque an incident is the more carefully..."
The more outr and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined. Arthur Conan Doyle
There is a secret bond between slowness and memory, between speed and forgetting.A man is walking down the street. At a certain moment, he tries to recall something, but the recollection escapes him. Automatically, he slows down.Meanwhile, a person who wants to forget a disagreeable incident he has just lived through starts unconsciously to speed up his pace, as if he were trying to distance himeself from a thing still too close to him in time.The degree of slowness is directly proportional... Milan Kundera
Race is a constant factor in American life. Yet reacting to every incident, real or imagined, is crippling, tiring, and ultimately counterproductive. Condoleezza Rice
No severe or prolonged bodily illness followed this incident of the red-room: it only gave my nerves a shock, of which I feel the reverberation to this day. Charlotte Bronte
T. S. Eliot quote: "Our emotions Are only “incidents” In the effort to keep day..."
Our emotions Are only “incidents” In the effort to keep day and night together. T. S. Eliot
He recognised that all the period of Odette's life which had elapsed before she first met him, a period of which he had never sought to form any picture in his mind, was not the featureless abstraction which he could vaguely see, but had consisted of so many definite, dated years, each crowded with concrete incidents. But were he to learn more of them, he feared lest her past, now colourless, fluid and supportable, might assume a tangible, an obscene form, with individual and diabolical... Marcel Proust
That is the germ of my great discovery. But you are wrong to say that we cannot move about in Time. For instance, if I am recalling an incident very vividly I go back to the instant of its occurrence: I become absent-minded, as you say. I jump back for a moment. Of course we have no means of staying back for any length of Time, any more than a savage or an animal has of staying six feet above the ground. But a civilized man is better off than the savage in this respect. He can go up against... H. G. Wells
I wanted to reimagine the role, in a way that was respectful of its traditional responsibilities but made them part of a wider pattern of poetry about national incidents, events, preoccupations; and to spend a great deal of time going to schools trying to demystify poetry. Andrew Motion
As anyone who has been close to someone that has committed suicide knows, there is no other pain like that felt after the incident. Peter Greene
Charles Grassley quote: "President Obama's decision to bypass the constitutional advice..."
President Obama's decision to bypass the constitutional advice and consent of the Senate is not an isolated incident. Charles Grassley
John Gilling quote: "Death is an incident producing clay. Use it, mold it, learn..."
Death is an incident producing clay. Use it, mold it, learn from it. John Gilling
I feel like there is just as much violent programming in other countries and there is not the same incidence of factors. I think there are other factors contributing to violence in this country and not the media. Sara Gilbert
Essentially and most simply put, plot is what the characters do to deal with the situation they are in. It is a logical sequence of events that grow from an initial incident that alters the status quo of the characters. Elizabeth George
Jim Fowler quote: "Everybody has a camcorder now, and they exploit these..."
Everybody has a camcorder now, and they exploit these incidents and blow them all out of proportion. Jim Fowler
It is a beneficent incident of the ownership of land that a pioneer who reduces it to use, and helps to lay the foundations of a new State, finds a profit in the increasing value of land as the new State grows up. William Graham Sumner
