Snatched Quotes (page 3)

It is something great and greatening to cherish an ideal; to act in the light of truth that is far-away and far above; to set aside the near advantage, the momentary pleasure; the snatching of seeming good to self; and to act for remoter ends, for higher good, and for interests other than our own.

Then you drink his blood, sucking the wounds,... Comte de Lautreamont

But these secrets were noisy things; they babbled and muttered behind the door, and so if he listened closely he might catch a snatch of something he once knew well. Walter Mosley

He can do us no harm; he can do Scotland no harm; he can do Malta no harm. There is a baby!’ said Philippa, very... Dorothy Dunnett

Snatches that yo-yo between their knees, breasts so flaccid you could tie them in a knot. One would have to be literally galvanized on Spanish Fly even to consider it. Yet it gets done somehow. Look at the kids. — The teenager may be more spontaneous, doglike, etc., but it’s generally only another name on the list, only another notch on the cock. Martin Amis
