William Shakespeare quote: "I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the..."
I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was. William Shakespeare
You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends, And how, how rare and strange it is, to find. In a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends,(For indeed I do not love it ... you knew? you are not blind! How keen you are!)To find a friend who has these qualities, Who has, and gives. Those qualities upon which friendship lives. How much it means that I say this to you-Without these friendships-life, what cauchemar! T. S. Eliot
Books ... rarely, if ever, talk about what children can make of themselves, about the powers that from the day or moment of birth are present in every child. John Holt
It's odd, though, what makes you think about the truth. It's so rarely involved in the events of your life. I quit thinking about the truth for a time then. Its finer points seems impossible to find among the facts. Richard Ford
Talent is extremely common. What is rare is the willingness to endure the life of the writer. Writers have no one to talk shop to. It is like making wallpaper by hand for the Sistine Chapel. Kurt Vonnegut

Time rarely weighed upon him, for he had many methods of passing it. Truman Capote
Dean Koontz quote: "As for self-deceit, most people find it as essential for..."
As for self-deceit, most people find it as essential for survival as air. You rarely indulge in it. Dean Koontz
My own gut feeling is that everyone's psychic...and it's so ingrained a part of us that we very rarely notice it. The talent may be largely preventative, and that keeps it from being noticed, too. Stephen King
In reality, genuine epiphanies are extremely rare. In contemporary adult life maturation & acquiescence to reality are gradual processes. Modern usage usually deploys epiphany as a metaphor. It is usually only in dramatic representations, religious iconography, and the 'magical thinking' of children that insight is compressed to a sudden blinding flash. David Foster Wallace
Victor Hugo quote: "A fall from such a height is rarely straight downwards."
A fall from such a height is rarely straight downwards. Victor Hugo
(Plants on the disc, while including the categories known commonly as annuals, which were sown this year to come up later this year, biennials, sown this year to grow next year, and perennials, sown this year to grow until further notice, also included a few rare re-annuals which, because of an unusual four-dimensional twist in their genes, could be planted this year to come up last year. The vul nut vine was particularly exceptional in that it could flourish as many as eight years prior to... Terry Prachett
Oscar Wilde quote: "we always misunderstood ourselves, and rarely understood others"
we always misunderstood ourselves, and rarely understood others Oscar Wilde
philosophyI studied philosophy for four years. But I'd trade everything I learned for this passage... quoted in the Britannica:'But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into... A. J. Jacobs
Diane Ackerman quote: "It began in mystery and it will end in mystery, but what a..."
It began in mystery and it will end in mystery, but what a rare and beautiful country lies in between. Diane Ackerman
The man in black smiled. "Shall we tell the truth then, you and I? No more lies?"I thought we had been."But the man in black persisted as if Roland hadn't spoken. "Shall there be truth between us, as two men? Not as friends, but as equals? There is an offer you will get rarely, Roland. Only equals speak the truth, that's my thought on't. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of regard. How tiresome! Stephen King
