Lay Quotes (page 20)

I once read the sentence 'I lay awake all night with a toothache, thinking about the toothache an about lying awake.' That's true to life. Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief. C. S. Lewis
Each of us has always hoped that a stranger would come who would scatter holy water on the image of the other and lay it for ever Rebecca West
Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me; the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours; therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you. William Shakespeare
George R. R. Martin quote: "The queen smiled as she lay her head upon the pillow. When I..."
The queen smiled as she lay her head upon the pillow. When I kissed her cheek, I could taste the salt of her tears. George R. R. Martin
Lao Tzu quote: "The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he..."
The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own. Lao Tzu
I came home one night, some month ago, and I went to the closet in my bedroom...and a moth ate my sports jacket. He was laying on the floor, nauseous, y'know. Woody Allen
MINISTER: All he has done is to find some means of bewitching the intelligence. He has only induced a radical suspension of disbelief. As in the early days of the cinema, all the citizens are jumping through the screen to lay their hands on the naked lady in the bathtub! AMBASSADOR: And yet, in fact, their fingers touch flesh. MINISTER: They believe they do. Yet all they touch is substantial shadow. AMBASSADOR: And what a beautiful definition of flesh! You know I am only substantial shadow,... Angela Carter
I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death. Nelson Mandela
I think it was Milosz, the Polish poet, who when he lay in a doorway and watched the bullets lifting the cobbles out of the street beside him realised that most poetry is not equipped for life in a world where people actually die. But some is. Ted Hughes
All she had needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them. Ian Mcewan
The rain to the wind said, You push and I'll pelt.'They so smote the garden bed. That the flowers actually knelt, And lay lodged--though not dead. I know how the flowers felt. Robert Frost
Charlotte Bronte quote: "The spring which moved my energies lay far away beyond seas,..."
The spring which moved my energies lay far away beyond seas, in an Indian isle. Charlotte Bronte
Hasn't anyone ever told you," Jesse asked, in a semi-amused voice, "that a gentlemen never lays a hand on a lady?"Which I thought was king of funny, considering where Jesse had had his hand the last time I'd seen him Meg Cabot
All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity, that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut. Whether this be the case with my history or not, I am hardly competent to judge. I sometimes think it might prove useful to some, and entertaining to others; but the world may judge for itself. Shielded by my own obscurity, and by the lapse of years, and a few fictitious... Anne Bronte
Every day there comes a moment when a person lays his hands in his lap and all his busyness collapses like ashes. The work accomplished is, from the soul's point of view, entirely imaginary. Robert Musil
