Place Quotes (page 105)

We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring. Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, remembered gate. When the last of earth left to discover. Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river. The voice of the hidden waterfall. And the children in the apple-tree. Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness. Between two waves of the sea. T. S. Eliot
Who seeks for better of thee, sauce his palate With thy most operant poison! What is here? Gold? yellow, glittering, precious gold? No, gods, I am no idle votarist: roots, you clear heavens! Thus much of this will make black white, foul fair, Wrong right, base noble, old young, coward valiant. Ha, you gods! why this? what this, you gods? Why, this Will lug your priests and servants from your sides, Pluck stout men's pillows from below their heads: This yellow slave Will knit and break... William Shakespeare
Dean Koontz quote: "We spend nine months in a nurturing darkness before we're..."
We spend nine months in a nurturing darkness before we're born, and we aspire to the highest of all places when we die. Dean Koontz
Theodore Roosevelt quote: "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid..."
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat Theodore Roosevelt
Jerzy Kosinski quote: "He had found the one calm place in the midst of the storm, a..."
He had found the one calm place in the midst of the storm, a quiet voice calling him to earth. Jerzy Kosinski
She was yawning, and he saw the red interior of her mouth as if it had been a snake’s. She had stretched one arm so high above her coiled-up cable of hair that he could see its satin delicacy above the sunburn; her face was ushed with sleep, and her eyelids hung heavy over their pupils. The brim-fulness of her nature breathed from her. It was a moment when a woman’s soul is more incarnate than at any other time; when the most spiritual beauty bespeaks itself esh; and sex takes the outside... Thomas Hardy
There is no insurmountable solitude. All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song - but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny. Pablo Neruda
There are many churches in my name and in the name of my apostles. The greatest and holiest is named after Peter; it is a place of great splendor in Rome. Nowhere can be found more gold. Norman Mailer
America is no place for an artist: to be an artist is to be a moral leper, an economic misfit, a social liability. A corn-fed hog enjoys a better life than a creative writer, painter or musician. To be a rabbit is better still. Henry Miller
Neil Gaiman quote: "If I come back, it will be a place, but it won't be a home any..."
If I come back, it will be a place, but it won't be a home any longer. Neil Gaiman
That's why people take vacations. No to relax or find excitement or see new places. To escape the death that exists in routine things. Don DeLillo
Brian Aldiss quote: "Civilisation is the distance that man has placed between..."
Civilisation is the distance that man has placed between himself and his own excreta. Brian Aldiss
Winston Churchill quote: "I always avoid prophesying beforehand because it is much..."
I always avoid prophesying beforehand because it is much better to prophesy after the event has already taken place. Winston Churchill
I am no scientist. I explore the neighborhood. An infant who has just learned to hold up his head has a frank and forthright way of gazing about him in bewilderment. He hasn’t the faintest clue where he is, and he aims to find out. In a couple of years, what he will have learned instead is how to fake it: he’ll have the cocksure air of a squatter who has come to feel he owns the place. Some unwonted, taught pride diverts us from our original intent, which is to explore the neighborhood,... Annie Dillard
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "Do I not deserve an acomplish of some great purpose? ... I..."
Do I not deserve an acomplish of some great purpose? ... I prefer glory to every enticement than wealth placed in my path. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
