Shadow Quotes (page 29)

I won't fatten them in cages, though. I won't ply them with poisoned fruit items. I won't change them into clockwork images or talking shadows. I won't drain out their life's blood. They can do all those things for themselves. Margaret Atwood
I am quite likely to re-act to the opposite extreme - to feel rapturously that the world is beautiful and mere existence something to thank God for. I suppose our 'blues' are the price we have to pay for our temperament. 'The gods don't allow us to be in their debt.' They give us sensitiveness to beauty in all its forms but the shadow of the gift goes with it. L. M. Montgomery
In chess, as a purely intellectual game, where randomness is excluded, - for someone to play against himself is absurd ...It is as paradoxical, as attempting to jump over his own shadow. Stefan Zweig
My short stories are like soft shadows I have set out in the world, faint footprints I have left. I remember exactly where I set down each and every one of them, and how I felt when I did. Short stories are like guideposts to my heart... Haruki Murakami
I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival. C. S. Lewis
I should like to have friends, I confess. I do not suppose I ever shall. But there have been moments when I have realized what friendship might be. Rare moments - but never forgotten. Friendship is a binding, as solemn as marriage. We take each other for life, through everything - forever. But it’s not enough to say we will do it. I think, myself, it is pride which makes friendship most difficult. To submit, to bow down to the other is not easy, but it must be done if one is to really... Katherine Mansfield
Quiet as a shadow. Light as a feather. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Smooth as summer silk. Swift as a deer. Slippery as an eel. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Still as stone George R. R. Martin
Orson Scott Card quote: "In the dark, where do shadows go?"
In the dark, where do shadows go? Orson Scott Card
What’s the good of these great fragile fits of enthusiasm, these jaded jumps of joys? We know nothing anymore, but the dead stars; we gaze at their faces; and we gasp with pleasure. Our mouths are dry as the lost beaches, and our eyes turn aimlessly and without hope. Now all that remain are these cafs where we meet to drink these cool drinks, these diluted spirits, and the tables are stickier than the pavements where our shadows of the day before have fallen. Andre Breton
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire. William Blake
If he thought at all, but I don't believe he ever thought, it was that he and his shadow, when brought near each other, would join like drops of water... J. M. Barrie
Charles Dickens quote: "What was the nameless shadow which again in that one instant..."
What was the nameless shadow which again in that one instant had passed? Charles Dickens
Pythagoras quote: "Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light."
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Pythagoras
Home is behind, the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread through shadows to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight. J. R. R. Tolkien
Such a small thing to cast such a long & uneasy shadow over the future. For whatever the future holds, one thing is certain: it just won't be the same. Alan Moore
