Road Quotes (page 16)

Somewhere, on the long road that wound through those four years, the girl with her sachet & dancing slippers had slipped away & there was left a woman with sharp green eyes, who counted pennies & turned her hands to many menial tasks, a woman to whom nothing was left from the wreckage except the indestructible red earth on which she stood. Margaret Mitchell
The path to wisdom does, in fact, begin with a single step. Where people go wrong is in ignoring all the thousands of other steps that come after it. They make the single step of deciding to become one with the universe and for some reason forget to take the logical next step of living for seventy years on a mountain and a daily bowl of rice and yak butter tea that would give it any meaning. While evidence says that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, they're probably all on... Terry Prachett
You are a mischievous one. You will cause no end of trouble. You have to travel many roads before you find the river of your destiny. This life of yours will be full of riddles. You will be protected and you will never be alone. Ben Okri
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "smoking had come to be an important punctuation mark in the..."
smoking had come to be an important punctuation mark in the long sentence of a day on the road. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Ivan Turgenev quote: "So many memories and so little worth remembering, and in front..."
So many memories and so little worth remembering, and in front of me? a long, long road without a goal... Ivan Turgenev
Ian Mcewan quote: "He had been walking these roads, he thought, all his life."
He had been walking these roads, he thought, all his life. Ian Mcewan
He Who Would Live Forever had done an instantaneous back-of-the-envelope calculation and decided that the vicinity of the Chevrolet Suburban was a better strategic alternative than anyplace anywhere near that whitish sandy road above which a gigantic terror-chattering rattlesnake now thrashed in the grip of his boss gone berserk. Tom Wolfe
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there—good for you. "But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate...Part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along. Elizabeth Warren
I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops. To put it another way, they're like dandelions. If you have one on your lawn, it looks pretty and unique. If you fail to root it out, however, you find five the next day ... fifty the day after that ... and then, my brothers and sisters, your lawn is totally, completely, and profligately covered with dandelions. By then you see them for the weeds they really are, but by then it's--GASP!!--too late. Stephen King
Clive Barker quote: "Maybe the man had taken the wrong turning, but at least he'd..."
Maybe the man had taken the wrong turning, but at least he'd travelled some extraordinary roads. Clive Barker
The road is a strange place. Shuffling along, I looked up and you were there walking across the grass toward my truck on an August day. In retrospect, it seems inevitable - it could nothave been any other way-- a case of what I call the high probability of the improbable Robert James Waller
Virginia Woolf quote: "All extremes are dangerous. It is best to keep in the middle..."
All extremes are dangerous. It is best to keep in the middle of the road, in the common ruts, however muddy. Virginia Woolf
The road of 'God alone' struck me with unsettling fear. So I lingered in a kind of limbo. Unable to go back, unable to go on. Uncertain. Tentative. How strange that we tend to stand ankle-deep in the spiritual life even though the grounding depth of intimacy with God is the most nourishing experience of our lives and affirms our very being! Sue Monk Kidd
The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange. Walt Whitman
There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. There's only us. There's only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way. No day but today. I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be. There's only now, there's only here. Give into love, or live in fear. No other course, no other way. NO DAY but TODAY Jonathan Larson
