Sides Quotes (page 11)

As many know, the Chinese expression for "crisis" consists of two characters side by side. The first is the symbol for "danger," the second the symbol for "opportunity." Al Gore
Patti Smith quote: "We wanted, it seemed, what we already had, a lover and a..."
We wanted, it seemed, what we already had, a lover and a friend to create with, side by side. To be loyal, yet be free. Patti Smith
No human relation gives possession in another - every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two sides by sides raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone. Khalil Gibran
And I will now rock the brown basin from side to side so that my ships may ride the waves. Some will founder. Some will dash themselves against the cliffs. One sails alone. That is my ship. It sails into icy caverns where the sea-bear barks and stalactites swing green chains. Virginia Woolf
While inside the vaulting of the ribs between his knees the darkly meated heart pumped of who's will and the blood pulsed and the bowels shifted in their massive blue convolutions of who's will and the stout thighbones and knee and cannon and the tendons like flaxen hawsers that drew and flexed and drew and flexed at their articulations of who's will all sheathed and muffled in the flesh and the hooves that stove wells in the morning groundmist and the head turning side to side and the great... Cormac McCarthy
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right. Mark Twain
Despair is the result of each earnest attempt to go through life with virtue, justice and understanding, and to fulfill their requirements. Children live on one side of despair, the awakened on the other side. Herman Hesse
Once and for allthe idea of glorious victorieswon by the glorious armymust be wiped out. Neither side is glorious. On either side they're just frightened men messing their pantsand they all want the same thing. Not to lie under the earthbut to walk upon itwithout crutches(Roux, act 1, scene 19) Peter Weiss
Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for -- annually, not oftener -- if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months instead of getting exterminated by their neighbors, the Indians. Thanksgiving Day became a habit, for the reason that in the course of time, as the years drifted on, it was perceived that the... Mark Twain
We never said farewell, not even looked. Our last upon each other, for no sign. Was made when we the linked chain unhooked. And broke the level line. And here we dwell together, side by side, Our places fixed for life upon the chart, Two islands that the roaring seas divide. Are not more far apart. Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
One quality in a person doesn't rule out any other quality. They can exist side by side, good and terrible. Socrates said it a lot better. Thomas Harris
Next to fat babies, midgets are my favorite things to hold. I love them so much, and I want to help them to do adult things like drive cars, Jet-Ski, and lip-synch. I’m in awe of their little limbs, their large craniums, and their medicine-ball asses. I love the little baby steps they take while shifting their weight from side to side, and the fact that when you knock one over accidentally, he flails like a turtle on its back that can’t get up right away. Chelsea Handler
She realized for the first time that two people can never reach each others deepest feelings and instincts, that they spend their lives side by side, linked it may be, but not mingled, and that each one's inmost being must go through life eternally alone. Guy de Maupassant
A stray fact: insects are not drawn to candle flames, they are drawn to the light on the far side of the flame, they go into the flame and sizzle to nothingness because they're so eager to get to the light on the other side. Michael Cunningham
It is often said that there should be no death or grief in children's stories. It is not wise to dwell on the dark and sad side of these things; but they have also a bright and lovely side, and since even the youngest, dearest, and most guarded child cannot escape some knowledge of the great mystery, is it not well to teach them in simple, cheerful ways that affection sweetens sorrow, and a lovely life can make death beautiful? Louisa May Alcott
