Once Quotes (page 172)

A plan is a real thing, and things projected are experienced. A plan once made and visualized becomes reality along with other realities—never to be destroyed but easily to be attacked. John Steinbeck
And yet viewing several depictions of even an imaginary city, is enlightening in a way," Leibniz said. "Each painter can view the city from only one standpoint at a time, so he will move about the place, and paint it from a hilltop on one side, then a tower on the other, then from a grand intersection in the middle--all in the same canvas. When we look at the canvas, then, we glimpse in a small way how God understands the universe--for he sees it from every point of view at once. By... Neal Stephenson
The Hour-Hand of Life --- Life consists of rare, isolated moments of the greatest significance, and of innumerably many intervals, during which at best the silhouettes of those moments hover about us. Love, springtime, every beautiful melody, mountains, the moon, the sea? all these speak completely to the heart but once, if in fact they ever do get a chance to speak completely. For many men do not have those moments at all, and are themselves intervals and intermissions in the symphony of... Friedrich Nietzsche
I offer you a second way of approaching the moment where everything in your life just stops, this one from the actor Robert Duvall: "I exist very nicely between the words 'action' and 'cut.'"And even a third way: "It doesn't present as pain," I once heard an oncological surgeon say of cancer. Joan Didion
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous and..."
Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous and magnificent, yet so vicious and base? Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The first day of spring was once the time for taking the young virgins into the fields, there in dalliance to set an example in fertility for nature to follow. Now we just set the clocks an hour ahead and change the oil in the crankcase. E. B. White
Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once; someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE???? I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure; I did it for the pain. Lance Armstrong
Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt quote: "Faith can be interested in results only, for a truth once..."
Faith can be interested in results only, for a truth once recognized as such puts an end to the believer's thinking. Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
I so wanted out of this conversation, but it was like a car accident: Once you started spinning, you could only wait and see what you hit. Laurell K. Hamilton
Voltaire quote: "It is not more surprising to be born twice than once;..."
It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection. Voltaire
Kate DiCamillo quote: "The shapes arranged themselves into words, and the words..."
The shapes arranged themselves into words, and the words spelled out a delicious and wonderful phrase: Once upon a time. Kate DiCamillo
A heart well worth winning, and well won. A heart that, once won, goes through fire and water for the winner, and never changes, and is never daunted. Charles Dickens
One new indulgence was to go out evenings alone. This I worked out carefully in my mind, as not only a right but a duty. Why should a woman be deprived of her only free time, the time allotted to recreation? Why must she be dependent on some man, and thus forced to please him if she wished to go anywhere at night? A stalwart man once sharply contested my claim to this freedom to go alone. “Any true man,” he said with fervor, “is always ready to go with a woman at night. He is her natural... Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Walker Percy quote: "There is no pain on this earth like seeing the same woman look..."
There is no pain on this earth like seeing the same woman look at another man the way she once looked at you. Walker Percy
His chest heaved once, as if his large heart, weary of despotic constriction, had expanded, despite the will, and made a vigorous bound for the attainment of liberty. Charlotte Bronte
