Snares Quotes (page 2)

Which is better? - To have surrendered to temptation; listened to passion; made no painful effort - no struggled; - but to have sunk down in the silken snare; fallen asleep on the flower covering it; wakened in a southern clime, amongst the luxuries of a pleasure villa: to have been now living in France, Mr. Rochester's mistress; delirious with his love half my time - for he would - oh, yes, he would have love me well for a while. Charlotte Bronte

William Blake quote: "Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare."
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare. William Blake
That night the first frost of autumn struck Tucker's Grove. It crept up from the ground, snaring the fragile roots of plants. It emerged from the air, etching its signature on window-panes. A portent. The year was nearing its end. Things would die soon. Kevin J. Anderson
To represent a bad thing in its least offensive light is, doubtless, the most agreeable course for a writer of fiction to pursue; but is it the most honest, or the safest? Is it better to reveal the snares and pitfalls of like to the young and thoughtless traveller, or to cover them with branches and flowers?

She knew this man's smile, his gentle ways of love, but not his godlike fury in the storm. She might snare him in a fragile net of music, love and flowers, but, at each departure, he would break forth without, it seemed to her, the least regret. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I could have told him that nothing was safe and that no matter how careful you were and how hard you tried, there were still accidents, hidden traps, and snares. You could get killed on an airplane or crossing the street. Your marriage could fall apart when you weren't looking; your husband could lose his job; our baby could get sick or die. Jennifer Weiner
Human brutes, like other beasts, find snares and poison in the provision of life, and are allured by their appetites to their destruction. Jonathan Swift
Daniel Defoe quote: "As covetousness is the root of all evil, so poverty is the..."
As covetousness is the root of all evil, so poverty is the worst of all snares. Daniel Defoe
Sometimes I like them artificial and sometimes I like them real. And the reason is because sometimes I like a real close sound. And I like a very specific snare sound and I can't get that in the big room. Danny Elfman
We had a couple of minor coups that made a big difference. We snared away from a competitor a correspondent already on the ground in Afghanistan. That was an enormous help to us, because there we were. Brit Hume
William Penn quote: "Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit."
Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit. William Penn
John Otto quote: "When the snares don't hit together, it's just the most awful..."
When the snares don't hit together, it's just the most awful thing to hear. John Otto
It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum. Charlie Watts
I love the percussion. It's a right brain, left brain thing. There are different beats, but cooperating together. It's your whole body doing it, you're doing the snare drum and the high top with your hands and the bass drum with your foot. You're this whole motion machine. Shalom Harlow
