Looking Down Quotes (page 21)

I realized that Joyce had gone as far as one could in the direction of knowing more, in control of one's material. He was always adding to it; you only have to look at his proofs to see that. I realised that my own way was impoverishment, in lack of knowledge and in taking away, subtracting rather than adding. When I first met Joyce, I didn't intend to be a writer. That only came later when I found out that I was no good at all at teaching. When I found I simply couldn't teach. But I do... Samuel Beckett
Jean Rhys quote: "I took the red dress down and put it against myself. 'Does it..."

I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they’re not much to look at, or even if they’re sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. J. D. Salinger
Every song has a memory; every song has the ability to make or break your heart, shut down the heart, and open the eyes. But I’m afraid if you look at a thing long enough; it loses all of its meaning Andy Warhol
Teasingly she took the apple from his mouth. Juice ran down his chin. Slowly, deliberately, she leaned over and licked the sweet juice from his chin. I will have to admit though, that I will never look at an apple in quite the same way. Terry Goodkind
Each time I see the Upside-Down Man. Standing in the water, I look at him and start to laugh, Although I shouldn't oughtter. For maybe in another world. Another time. Another town, Maybe HE is right side up. And I am upside down Shel Silverstein
Mark Haddon quote: "and I went into the garden and lay down and looked at the..."
...and I went into the garden and lay down and looked at the stars in the sky and made myself negligible. Mark Haddon
I have heard of daydreams? is she in a daydream now? Her eyes are fixed on the floor, but I am sure they do not see it? her sight seems turned in, gone down into her heart: she is looking at what she can remember, I believe; not at what is really present. Charlotte Bronte
Virginia Woolf quote: "He would look over the edge of the sofa down into the sea."
He would look over the edge of the sofa down into the sea. Virginia Woolf
I was no Cherokee. I was no warrior. I was nobody special. I was just a girl, scared and angry. When I saw myself in Daddy Glen's eyes, I wanted to die. No, I wanted to be already dead, cold and gone. Everything felt hopeless. He looked at me and I was ashamed of myself. It was like sliding down an endless hole, seeing myself at the bottom, dirty, ragged, poor, stupid. Dorothy Allison
He was getting that look he gets, oh boy, like Here comes Moses tromping down off of Mount Syanide with ten fresh ways to wreck your life. Barbara Kingsolver
Caspian felt sure that he would hate the new Tutor, but when the new Tutor arrived about a week later he turned out to be the sort of person it is almost impossible not to like. He was the smallest, and also the fattest, man Caspian had ever seen. He had a long, silvery, pointed beard which came down to his waist, and his face, which was brown and covered with wrinkles, looked very wise, very ugly, and very kind. His voice was grave and his eyes were merry so that, until you got to now him... C. S. Lewis
All I know is this: nobody's very big in the first place, and it looks to me like everybody spends their whole life tearing everybody else down. Ken Kesey
