Rowing Quotes (page 7)

Their useless torches on dry hedges throw, That catch the flames, and kindle all the row; So burns the God, consuming in desire, And feeding in his breast a fruitless fire Ovid
Charles Bukowski quote: "I made practice runs down to skid row to get ready for my future."
I made practice runs down to skid row to get ready for my future. Charles Bukowski
Time itself is a thing, so it seems to me, that stands solidly like a fence of iron palings with its endless row of years; and we flow past like Gyoll, on our way to a sea from which we shall return only as rain. Gene Wolfe

Yes, I’m a mouse. Squeak, squeak. Now shoo-shoo back to your little bug friends,” said Rirped, picking up a hunk of dried beef. He tore a off a piece with his teeth and noticed Boots hadn’t moved. He pulled back his lips to reveal a row of jagged teeth and gave her a sharp hiss. Suzanne Collins
They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors. The circus is in town. Here comes the blind commissioner.

From Desolation Row. Bob Dylan

Walking along the crowded row. He met the one he used to know. Fyodor Dostoevsky
I should learn to run, to wrestle, to swim, to ride horses, to row, to drive a car, to fire a rifle. I should fill my soul with flesh. I should fill my flesh with soul. In fact, I should reconcile at last within me the two internal antagonists. Nikos Kazantzakis
And what made these heart-to-hearts possible--you might even say what made the whole friendship possible during that time--was this understanding we had that anything we told each other during these moments would be treated with careful respect: that we'd honor confidences, and that no matter how much we rowed, we wouldn't use against each other anything we'd talked about during those sessions. Kazuo Ishiguro
The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomiants of failure in our system.

And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. (Cannery Row) John Steinbeck
Constantine, eight years old, was working in his father's garden and thinking about his own garden, a square of powdered granite he had staked out and combed into rows at the top of his family's land. Michael Cunningham
Scott, deaf and enchanted in the gallery, and the whole row of pretty heads at his side saw the concerted rush on Lymond: his assailants downed him without malice and eighteen stones of Molly planted themselves on his chest. “A throw!” said Molly, and Lymond, half buried, gave a choked whoop of laughter and raised a defeated hand in signal to Tammas. Dorothy Dunnett
Can you row?" the Sheep asked, handing her a pair of knitting-needles as she spoke."Yes, a little--but not on land--and not with needles--" Alice was beginning to say. Lewis Carroll
Andrew Morton quote: "Stories about Diana's fashions, about possible rows between..."
Stories about Diana's fashions, about possible rows between Charles and Diana, these were meat and drink. Andrew Morton
I really do see that anywhere I am, whether it's doing interviews a hundred in a row, that every situation I'm in, I'm at choice in the matter. Alanis Morissette
