Pleasantly Quotes (page 2)

Reading has always been my home, my sustenance, my great invincible companion. "Book love," Trollope called it. "It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live." Yet of all the many things in which we recognize some universal comfort...reading seems to be the one in which the comfort is most undersung... A. Whitney Brown
For within livin structures defined by profit, by linear power, by institutional dehumanization, our feelings were not meant to survive. Kept around as unavoidable adjuncts or pleasant pastimes, our feelings were expected to kneel to thought as women were expected to kneel to men. But women have survived. As poets. Audre Lorde
There is something indefinably keen and wan about her anatomy, and she has a watchful way of looking out of the corners of her eyes without turning her head which could be pleasantly dispensed with, especially when she is in ill humor and near knives. Charles Dickens
Anton Chekhov quote: "Yelena. What a lovely day!... Not to hot either. Voynitski. It..."
Yelena. What a lovely day!... Not to hot either. Voynitski. It would even be pleasant to hang oneself on a day like this. Anton Chekhov
You say you cannot love God; but it strikes me that if you rightly consider who and what He is, you cannot help it. He is your father, your best friend: every blessing, everything good, pleasant, or useful, comes from Him; and everything evil, everything you have reason to hate, to shun, or to fear, comes from Satan- HIS enemy as well as ours. And for this cause was God manifest in the flesh, that He might destroy the works of the Devil: in one word, God is love; and the more of love we... Anne Bronte
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "And many such good inventions are there, that they are like..."
And many such good inventions are there, that they are like woman’s breasts: useful at the same time, and pleasant. Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a still stranger thing that there is nothing so delightful in the world as telling stories. It is far pleasanter than writing reviews of famous novels. Virginia Woolf
I'd rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. William Wordsworth
When you run into someone in NY it is usually a pleasant surprise. When you run into someone in LA you usually had a car accident. Susan Sarandon
Thomas Carlyle quote: "Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and..."
Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist. Thomas Carlyle
Because it's much more pleasant to be obsessed over how the hero gets out of his predicament than it is over how I get out of mine. Woody Allen
Charles loved her voice. It was so soft and blurred, like pastels. It made his neck tingle just to listen to her. It gave him the same delicious feeling he had as he hovered on the brink of sleep and this feeling - until now - had been the single most pleasant feeling in his life. It was the voice that coloured everything he now thought about her. It was shy and tentative and musical. Sometimes he did not manage to hear the words she said, but he did not let on about his deafness. Peter Carey
George R. R. Martin quote: "Ser Arys was pleasant company abed, but wit and he were..."
Ser Arys was pleasant company abed, but wit and he were strangers. (Arianne Martell) George R. R. Martin
She raised her chin and her pale, black-fringed eyes sparkled in the moonlight. Ellen had never told her that desire and attainment were two different matters; life had not taught her that the race was not to the swift. She lay in the silvery shadows with courage rising and made the plans that a sixteen-year-old makes when life has been so pleasant that defeat is an impossibility and a pretty dress and a clear complexion are weapons to vanquish fate. Margaret Mitchell
Horace quote: "Mingle a little folly with your wisdom; a little nonsense now..."
Mingle a little folly with your wisdom; a little nonsense now and then is pleasant. Horace
