Scarcely Quotes (page 2)

Maman’s death: perhaps it is the one thing in my life that I have not responded to neurotically. My grief has not been hysterical, scarcely visible to others (perhaps because the notion of “theatralizing” my mother’s death would have been intolerable); and doubtless, more hysterically parading my depression, driving everyone away, ceasing to live socially, I would have been less unhappy. And I see that the non-neurotic is not good, not the right thing at all. Roland Barthes
While yet we live, scarce one short hour perhaps, Between us two let there be peace, both joining, As joined in injuries, and enmity. Against a foe by doom express assigned us, That cruel serpent. John Milton
In two minutes only those shops which could boast of no attendant save the master or the mistress remained with open eyes. These were ever somewhat less prompt to exclude customers than the others: for their owners' ears the closing hour had scarcely the cheerfulness that it possessed for the hired servants of the rest. Thomas Hardy
Elizabeth Gaskell quote: "But I was right. I think that must be an hereditary quality,..."
But I was right. I think that must be an hereditary quality, for my father says he is scarcely ever wrong. Elizabeth Gaskell
She was nothing more than a mere good-tempered, civil and obliging Young Woman; as such we could scarcely dislike her -- she was only an Object of Contempt Jane Austen
INTO MY OWN One of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as ’twere, the merest mask of gloom, But stretched away unto the edge of doom. I should not be withheld but that some day Into their vastness I should steal away, Fearless of ever finding open land, Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand. I do not see why I should e’er turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who... Robert Frost
Made as we were in the image of God we scarcely find it strange to take again our God as our All. God was our original habitat and our hearts cannot but feel at home when they enter again that ancient and beautiful abode. Aiden Wilson Tozer
They cultivated normality till it stood out of them all over in knobs, like the muscles upon professional strong men, and scarcely looked normal at all. And they talked interminably and loudly. From their bouncing mental health ordinary ill-balanced mortals shrank in alarm. Dorothy L. Sayers
E. E. Cummings quote: "-tomorrow is our permanent address and there they’ll scarcely..."
-tomorrow is our permanent address and there they’ll scarcely find us(if they do, we’ll move away still further: into now E. E. Cummings
There's one sad truth in life I've found. While journeying east and west -The only folks we really wound. Are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow. To those who love us best. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There is scarcely any writer who has not celebrated the happiness of rural privacy, and delighted himself and his reader with the melody of birds, the whisper of groves, and the murmur of rivulets. Samuel Johnson
Fate, with its mysterious and inexorable patience, was slowly bringing together these two beings charged, like thunder-clouds, with electricity, with the latent forces of passion, and destined to meet and mingle in a look as clouds do in a lightning-flash. So much has been made in love-stories of the power of a glance that we have ended by undervaluing it. We scarcely dare say in these days that two persons fell in love because their eyes met. Yet that is how one falls in love and in no other... Victor Hugo
I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The tragedy of preparedness has scarcely been handled, save by the Greeks. Life is indeed dangerous, but not in the way morality would have us believe. It is indeed unmanageable, but the essence of it is not a battle. It is unmanageable because it is a romance, and its essence is romantic beauty. E. M. Forster
Morning made a considerable difference in my general prospects of Life and brightened it so much that is scarcely seemed the same. Charles Dickens
