Old Quotes (page 138)

Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life intoare awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowingfor long years. And for this reason, some old things are lovelywarm still with the life of forgotten men who made them. David Herbert Lawrence
A virgin a whole virgin is judged made and so between curves and outlines and real seasons and more out glasses and a perfectly unprecedented arrangement between old ladies and mild colds there is no satin wood shining. Gertrude Stein
To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due. Neil Gaiman

Well, little old Noisyville-on-the Subway is good enough for me. O. Henry
If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love- You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. The negative ideal of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them... C. S. Lewis
Sherman Alexie quote: "More and more, he heard his spine playing stick games through..."
More and more, he heard his spine playing stick games through his skin, singing old dusty words, the words of all his years. Sherman Alexie
The best place for discovering what a man is is the heart of the desert. Your plane has broken down, and you walk for hours, heading for the little fort at Nutchott. You wait for the mirages of thirst to gape before you. But you arrive and you find an old sergeant who has been isolated for months among the dunes, and he is so happy to be found that he weeps. And you weep, too. In the arching immensity of the night, each tells the story of his life, each offers the other the burden of memories... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Appearances are not reality; but they often can be a convincing alternative to it. You can control appearances most of the time, but facts are what they are. When the facts are too sharp, you can craft a cheerful version of the situation and cover the facts the way that you can covered a battered old four-slice toaster with a knitted cozy featuring images of kittens. Dean Koontz
Yes, I am of old family, and not illiterate. I am a fossil."? "A which?"? "Fossil. The first horses were fossils. They date back two million years. Mark Twain
Want a sugar cube?" he asks in his old seductive voice. That's how we met, with Finnick offering me sugar. Surrounded by horses and chariots, costumed and painted for the crowds, before we were allies. Before I had any idea what made him tick. The memory actually coaxes a smile out of me. "Here, it improves the taste," he says in his real voice, plunking three cubes into my cup. Suzanne Collins

Take the dead from the dead, the old proverb said; only a corpse may speak true prophecy. Stephen King
I liked old time music but what i meant by that was the period from the 1930s through the 60s, nothing before and little after. Jeffery Deaver
Friendship exhibits a glorious "nearness by resemblance" to Heaven itself where the very multitude of the blessed (which no man can number) increases the fruition which each has of God. For every soul, seeing Him in her own way, doubtless communicates that unique vision to all the rest. That, says an old author, is why the Seraphim in Isaiah's vision are crying "Holy, Holy, Holy" to one another (Isaiah VI, 3). The more we thus share the Heavenly Bread between us, the more we shall all have. C. S. Lewis
