Long Quotes (page 67)

How the miracle of our meeting. Shone there and sang, I didn't want to return. From there to anywhere. Happiness instead of duty. Was bitter delight to me. Not obliged to speak to anyone, I spoke for a long while. Let passions stifle lovers, Demanding answers, We, my dear, are only souls. At the limits of the world. Anna Akhmatova
She was terribly pleased, because she had always, secretly, deep within her heart, believed that she could fly. And now here she was, doing what she had long suspected she could do, and she could not deny that it was gratifying in the extreme. Kate DiCamillo
History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of "history" it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody understands at the time--and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened. Hunter S. Thompson
Jodi Picoult quote: "Anger, though, is too fierce a flame to last for long, and..."
Anger, though, is too fierce a flame to last for long, and when it burned out, I was left numb and wondering. Jodi Picoult
To invite people to dine with us is to make ourselves responsible for their well-being for as long as they are under our roofs. Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
The wise do not argue therefrom, that the desires of the woman, as long as she is young and strong, are not as real and urgent of those of the man. Richard Francis Burton
Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things. John Ruskin
George Orwell quote: "Now he had recognized himself as a dead man it became..."
Now he had recognized himself as a dead man it became important to stay alive as long as possible. George Orwell
Franz Kafka quote: "I am away from home and must always write home, even if any..."
I am away from home and must always write home, even if any home of mine has long since floated away into eternity. Franz Kafka
My own view of myself was that I was small and innocuous, a marshmallow compared to the others. I was a poor shot with a 22, for instance, and not very good with an ax. It took me a long time to figure out that the youngest in a family of dragons is still a dragon from the point of view of those who find dragons alarming. Margaret Atwood
I wonder if it won't be the same with the children as it has been with us. No matter how long each one of them lives, won't their lives feel to them unfinished like ours, only just beginning? I wonder how far they will go. And then their children will grow up and it will be the same with them. Unfinished lives. Oh, dearie, what children all of us are. Ernest Poole
Tireless passion, fierce jealousy, longing to possess and crush-these alone were left of all his love for Rosalind; these remained to him as payment for the loss of his youth-bitter calomel under the thin sugar of love's exaltation. F. Scott Fitzgerald
John Lennon quote: "So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?"
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream? John Lennon
And only the enlightened can recall their former lives; for the rest of us, the memories of past existences are but glints of light, twinges of longing, passing shadows, disturbingly familiar, that are gone before they can be grasped, like the passage of that silver bird on Dhaulagiri. Peter Matthiessen
Just understand that the end began long agoWe got here just in timeLookAll the squares in the sidewalks were already thereAll these strangers have more money than you doAll the good riffs have been takenAnd everyone is so scaredMurder is commonplaceI don't even flinch at the gunshots outside my windowI feel lonely without them Henry Rollins
