Looked Quotes (page 181)

But the long tunnels of art through which I walked in Rome that day had no ragged edges, cowardly colors, or shades of pastel that didn't know what to do with themselves. The wisdom, perfection, and beauty of the colors and forms I passed were more than enough, in their collectivity, to hint at the principles which govern the hereafter, whatever that may be. Indeed, even a detail of one painting can offer solid direction in this regard if one knows how to look Mark Helprin
Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing...Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation. Oswald Chambers
Who, to say nothing about the perils of an awful and unknown sea, would have left Asia or Africa or Italy to look for Germany? Tacitus
The Universe was a silly place at best...but the least likely explanation for it was the no-explanation of random chance, the conceit that abstract somethings 'just happened' to be atoms that 'just happened' to get together in ways which 'just happened' to look like consistent laws and some configurations 'just happened' to possess self-awareness and that two 'just happened' to be the Man from Mars and a bald-headed old coot with Jubal inside. Robert A. Heinlein
J. M. Barrie quote: "Stars are beautiful, but they may not take part in anything,..."
Stars are beautiful, but they may not take part in anything, they must just look on forever. J. M. Barrie
It means we're looking one way, while following another. We're for one side and also the other. We mean what we say, but our intentions are different. Amy Tan
His little eyes, which looked as if they'd literally been hammered into place, gazed out fixedly and uncomfortably, and he also had a way of laughing uncomfortably with an abrupt, wooden laugh. Ivan Turgenev
The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression--and he fooled us even then. He got Industrial Light and Magic to change his facial expressions for him and THX sound to make the noise of a face-changing expression. Carrie Fisher
Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing her? Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home? What we had wasn't about sex, or about being with someone just to show off what you've got, the way it was for other kids our age. We were, well, meant to be together. Some people spend their whole lives looking for that one person. I was lucky enough to have her all along. Jodi Picoult
Do you really keep a diary? I'd give anything to look at it. May I? Oh, no. You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy. Oscar Wilde
Meg Cabot quote: "Lana says J.P. makes Matt Damon from the Bourne movies look..."
Lana says J.P. makes Matt Damon from the Bourne movies look like Oliver from Hannah Montana Meg Cabot
Joseph Stalin quote: "Take some exercise, try to recover the look of a human being."
Take some exercise, try to recover the look of a human being. Joseph Stalin
Not only was he the tallest, strongest, most virile, and best built man they had ever seen, but even though they were looking at him there was no room for him in their imagination. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Seeing with the eyes of Christ, I can give to others much more than their outward necessities; I can give them the look of love which they crave. Joseph Ratzinger
I can no longer take war or promotion or big income or a large house seriously. I reject empire and Vietnam and placing a man on the moon. I deny time payments and looking like the girl next door and church weddings and a great deal more. If you want to blame such rejection on grass, you can do so. I charge it to awakening. James A. Michener
