Place Quotes (page 57)

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
Victor Hugo quote: "The left-handed are precious; they take places which are..."
The left-handed are precious; they take places which are inconvenient for the rest. Victor Hugo
It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from. C. S. Lewis
Thomas Bailey Aldrich quote: "We visit...a neighboring grave-yard. I am by this time in a..."
We visit...a neighboring grave-yard. I am by this time in a condition of mind to become a willing inmate of the place. Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Albert Einstein quote: "One cannot alter a condition with the same mind set that..."

So the Midwest nourishes us [...] and presents us with the spectacle of a land and a people completed and certain. And so we run to our bedrooms and read in a fever, and love the big hardwood trees outside the windows, and the terrible Midwest summers, and the terrible Midwest winters [...]. And so we leave it sorrowfully, having grown strong and restless by opposing with all our will and mind and muscle its simple, loving, single will for us: that we stay, that we stay and find a place... Annie Dillard
We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him. Our landlady and the delicatessen man are our mourners, and we leave nothing behind us but a frock-coat and a fiddle, or an easel, or a typewriter, or whatever took we got our living by. All we have ever managed to do is to pay our rent, that exorbitant rent that one has to pay for a few square feet of space near the heart of things. We have no house, no place, no... Willa Cather
I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.' A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined. Chuck Palahniuk
Isaac Babel quote: "No iron can pierce a heart with such force as a period put..."
No iron can pierce a heart with such force as a period put just at the right place. Isaac Babel
If I had grown up in that house I couldn't have loved it more, couldn't have been more familiar with the creak of the swing, or the pattern of the clematis vines on the trellis, or the velvety swell of land as it faded to gray on the horizon . . . . The very colors of the place had seeped into my blood. Donna Tartt
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "I carry the place around the world in my heart but sometimes I..."
I carry the place around the world in my heart but sometimes I try to shake it off in my dreams F. Scott Fitzgerald
My reign is not yet over... you live, and my power is complete. Follow me; I seek the everlasting ices of the north, where you will feel the misery of cold and frost to which I am impassive. You will find near this place, if you follow not too tardily, a dead hare; eat and be refreshed. Come on, my enemy; we have yet to wrestle for our lives; but many hard and miserable hours must you endure until that period shall arrive. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Ernest Hemingway quote: "you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to..."
you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. Ernest Hemingway
It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us. Francis Crick
All you really need to know for the moment is that the universe is a lot more complicated than you might think, even if you start from a position of thinking it's pretty damn complicated in the first place. Douglas Adams
