Prying Quotes

I could spend my whole life prying loose the secrets of the insane. These people are honest to a fault, and their naivety has no peer but my own. Andre Breton
Life is too small a container for certain individuals. Some of them, such as Alobar, huff and puff and try to expand the container. Others, such as Kudra, seek to pry the lid off and hop out. Tom Robbins
Victor Hugo quote: "For prying into any human affairs, none are equal to those..."
For prying into any human affairs, none are equal to those whom it does not concern. Victor Hugo

Kad tu kdam nodari pri, tas sk tevi mazk mlt. Neapdomtu vrdu d. Tie liek cilvkiem mlt tevi mazliet mazk. Arundhati Roy
Margaret Bourke-White quote: "Nothing attracts me like a closed door. I cannot let my camera..."

Oscar Wilde quote: "I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart..."
...I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope. Oscar Wilde
I am a free manand I need my freedom. I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company. What do you want of me? When I have something to say, I put it in print. When I have something to give, I give it. Your prying curiosity turns my stomach! Your compliments humiliate me! Your tea poisons me! I owe... Henry Miller
Skepticism, not cleanliness, is next to godliness. Skepticism is the father of freedom. It is like the pry that holds open the door for truth to slip in. Gerry Spence
Corrie Ten Boom quote: "Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when..."
Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open. Corrie Ten Boom
When you know that something's going to happen, you'll start trying to see signs of its approach in just about everything. Always try to remember that most of the things that happen in this world aren't signs. They happen because they happen, and their only real significance lies in normal cause and effect. You'll drive yourself crazy if you start trying to pry the meaning out of every gust of wind or rain squall. I'm not denying that there might actually be a few signs that you won't... David Eddings
Tim Burton quote: "Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of..."
Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of Heaven? Have you ever wanted to die? Tim Burton
As I shivered and brooded on the casting of that brain-blasting shadow, I knew that I had at last pried out one of earth's supreme horors-one of those nameless blights of outer voids whose faint demon scratchings we sometimes hear on the farthest rim of space, yet from which our own finite vision has given us a merciful immunity. H. P. Lovecraft
We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter. Mark Twain
There are horrors beyond life's edge that we do not suspect, and once in a while man's evil prying calls them just within our range. H. P. Lovecraft
Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me into a crowbar. Let me pry loose old walls. Let me lift and loosen old foundations. Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me into a steel spike. Drive me into the girders that hold a skyscraper together. Take red-hot rivets and fasten me into the central girders. Let me be the great nail holding a skyscraper through blue nights into white stars. Carl Sandburg
