Lurking Quotes (page 4)

Danger lurks when we divide ourselves with expressions such as “my private life,” “my professional life,” or even “my best behavior.” Living life in separate compartments can lead to internal conflict and exhausting tension....Inner peace comes only as we maintain the integrity of truth in all aspects of our lives. When we covenant to follow the Lord and obey His commandments, we accept His standards in every thought, action, and deed. Russell M. Nelson
How could people, I wondered for the ten thousandth useless time, how could people who had loved so dearly come to such a wilderness; and yet the change in us was irreversible, and neither of us would even search for a way back. It was impossible. The fire was out. Only a few live coals lurked in the ashes, searing unexpectedly at the incautious touch. Dick Francis
The dramatic arises out of the margin of opaqueness between a writer and his personages, out of the potential for the unexpected. In the full dramatic character lurks the unforeseen possibility, the gift of disorder. George Steiner

Education doesn't make you happy. And what is freedom? We don't become happy just because we are free, if we are. Or because we have been educated, if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears. Tells use where delights are lurking. Convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever: that of the mind. And give us the assurance, the confidence, to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers. Iris Murdoch
The wife, where danger or dishonor lurks, safest and seemliest by her husband stays, who guards her, or with her the worst endures. John Milton
Henry James quote: "her smile, which was her pretty feature, was never so pretty..."
..her smile, which was her pretty feature, was never so pretty as when her sprightly phrase had a scracth lurking in it. Henry James
Beyond love, beyond unrequited love, perhaps even beyond any other passion known to humanity, deep, deep in the depths of the turgid, clinging, swamplike pit of despair that lies dormant within every soul, lurks JEALOUSY. Jealousy, that most demeaning and debilitating of emotions. Jealousy, which can double the strength of the love upon which it is based, but whilst doubling it, warp and pervert it, untill it is no longer recognizable as the thing of beauty it once was. Jealous love is no... Ben Elton
However you must have sensed a lurking 'but' skulking beneath my happy, blithe, and chipper exterior. A minuscule vexation, like the teeniest lump of raw liver sticking to the inside of my boot. Neil Gaiman
The penetrating brilliance of swords. Wielded by followers of the Way. Strikes at the evil enemy. Lurking deep within. Their own souls and bodies. Morihei Ueshiba
On the flip side of everything we think we absolutely have pegged lurks an equal amount of the unknown. Understanding is but the sum of our misunderstandings. Haruki Murakami
W. G. Sebald quote: "No one can explain exactly what happens within us when the..."
No one can explain exactly what happens within us when the doors behind which our childhood terrors lurk are flung open. W. G. Sebald
