Side Quotes (page 23)

You will find yourself among people. There is no help for this nor should you want it otherwise. The passages where no one waits are dark and hard to navigate. The wet walls touch your shoulders on each side. When the trees were there I cared that they were there. And now they are gone, does it matter? The passages where no one waits go on and give no promise of an end. You will find yourself among people, Faces, clothing, teeth and hair and words, and many words When there was life, I said... Paul Bowles
On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused…Nations work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe – at any rate for short periods – that running, jumping, and kicking a ball are tests of... George Orwell
The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. No, not at all. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be. Robert Fulghum
Cause there was a side to you that I never knew, never knew. All the things you'd say they were never true, never true, And all the games you played you would alway win, always win. But I set fire to the rain! Adele
I. Don't trace out your profile--forget your side view--all that is outer stuff. II. Look for your other halfwho walks always next to youand tends to be who you aren't. Antonio Machado
I was depressed, but that was a side issue. This was more like closing up shop, or, say, having a big garage sale, where you look at everything you've bought in your life, and you remember how much it meant to you, and now you just tag it for a quarter and watch 'em carry it off, and you don't care. That's more like how it was. Jane Smiley
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives..."
The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides. Ralph Waldo Emerson
The question is, what are you going to do?" It turns out the question that's been eating away at me has only ever had one possible answer. But it took Peeta's ploy for me to recognize it. What am I going to do? I take a deep breath. My arms rise slightly - as if recalling the black-and-white wings Cinna gave me - then come to rest at my sides. "I'm going to be the Mockingjay. Suzanne Collins
Though loyal and able and brave, Pea had never displayed the slightest ability to learn from his experience, though his experience was considerable. Time and again he would walk up on the wrong side of a horse that was known to kick, and then look surprised when he got kicked. Larry McMurtry
Each time I see the Upside-Down Man. Standing in the water, I look at him and start to laugh, Although I shouldn't oughtter. For maybe in another world. Another time. Another town, Maybe HE is right side up. And I am upside down Shel Silverstein
Garth Brooks quote: "Time is on the side of all things good."
Time is on the side of all things good. Garth Brooks
Edwidge Danticat quote: "The women in your family have never lost touch with one..."
The women in your family have never lost touch with one another. Death is a path we take to meet on the other side. Edwidge Danticat
I'm broken, I have a crack in me for all my life. I was made a woman prematurely, criminally early, and initiated into life from its worst side, in the false, boulevard interpretation of a self-confident aging parasite from former times, who profited from everything and allowed himself everything. Boris Pasternak
It is not human to be wise,’ said Blood. ‘It is much more human to err, though perhaps exceptional to err on the side of mercy. Rafael Sabatini
And so, all the night-tide, I lay down the side, of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, in the sepulchre there by the sea, in her tomb by the surrounding sea. Edgar Allan Poe
