Passing Quotes (page 22)

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter, Love and desire and hate: I think they have no portion in us after. We pass the gate. They are not long, the days of wine and roses: Out of a misty dream. Our path emerges for a while, then closes. Within a dream Ernest Dowson
George W. Bush quote: "Teach a child to read and he/she will pass a literary test."
Teach a child to read and he/she will pass a literary test. George W. Bush
And he sang to them, now in the Elven tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness. J. R. R. Tolkien
We walk in dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge and no one may pass. We live for the One. We die for the One. -- the Ranger oath J. Michael Straczynski
Christina G. Rossetti quote: "Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I: But when the trees..."
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I: But when the trees bow down their head, The wind is passing by. Christina G. Rossetti
Our hope concerning the future is great, and our faith is strong. We know we’ve scarcely scratched the surface of that which will come to pass in the years that lie ahead. Gordon B. Hinckley
Mitch Albom quote: "Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not..."
Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else. Mitch Albom
Was I gleeful, settled, content, during the hours I passed in yonder bare, humble schoolroom this morning and afternoon? Not to decieve myself, I must reply -- No: I felt desolate to a degree. I felt -- yes, idiot that I am -- I felt degraded. I doubted I had taken a step which sank instead of raising me in the scale of social existence. I was weakly dismayed at the ignorance, the poverty, the coarseness of all I heard and saw around me. But let me not hate and despise myself too much... Charlotte Bronte
Then from those profound slumbers we awake in a dawn, not knowing who we are, being nobody, newly born, ready for anything, the brain emptied of that past which was life until then. And perhaps it is more wonderful still when our landing at the waking-point is abrupt and the thoughts of our sleep, hidden by a cloak of oblivion, have no time to return to us gradually, before sleep ceases. Then, from the black storm through which we seem to have passed (but we do not even say we), we emerge... Marcel Proust
James Allen quote: "He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: environment is but..."
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: environment is but a looking glass. James Allen
C. S. Lewis quote: "In Gethsemane the holiest of all petitioners prayed three..."
In Gethsemane the holiest of all petitioners prayed three times that a certain cup might pass from Him. It did not. C. S. Lewis
Sardar Harbans Singh passed away peacefully in a wicker rocking-chair in a Srinigar garden of spring flowers and honeybees with his favourite tartan rug across his knees and his beloved son, Yuvraj the exporter of handicrafts, by his side, and when he stopped breathing the bees stopped buzzing and the air silenced its whispers and Yuvraj understood that the story of the world he had known all his life was coming to an end, and that what followed would follow as it had to, but it would... Salman Rushdie
There are times when one cannot accept facts for fear of shattering one's being. As I listened to Ian's news, all of Digit's life, since my first meeting with him as a playful little ball of black fluff ten years earlier, passed through my mind. From that moment on, I came to live within an insulated part of myself. Dian Fossey
About dreams. It is usually taken for granted that you dream of something that has made a particularly strong impression on you during the day, but it seems to me its just the contrary. Often its something you paid no attention to at the time -- a vague thought that you didnt bother to think out to the end, words spoken without feeling and which passed unnoticed -- these are the things that return at night, clothed in flesh and blood, and they become the subjects of dreams, as if to make up... Boris Pasternak
Singing is my pleasure, but not in church, for the parson said the gargoyles must remain on the outside, not seek room in the choir stalls. So I sing inside the mountain of my flesh, and my voice is as slender as a reed and my voice has no lard in it. When I sing the dogs sit quiet and people who pass in the night stop their jabbering and discontent and think of other times, when they were happy. And I sing of other times, when I was happy, though I know that these are figments of my mind and... Jeanette Winterson
