Sought Quotes (page 3)

Blind impatience is equally evident in the fruit section. Our ancestors might have delighted in the occasional handful of berries found on the underside of a bush in late summer, viewing it as a sign of the unexpected munificence of a divine creator, but we became modern when we gave up on awaiting sporadic gifts from above and sought to render any pleasing sensation immediately and repeatedly available. Alain de Botton
William Wordsworth quote: "In ourselves our safety must be sought. By our own right hand..."
In ourselves our safety must be sought. By our own right hand it must be wrought. William Wordsworth
Ingrid Bergman quote: "I've never sought success in order to get fame and money; it's..."
I've never sought success in order to get fame and money; it's the talent and the passion that count in success. Ingrid Bergman
John F. Kennedy quote: "Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the..."
Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside John F. Kennedy
However, as words become particularized, and as men begin - in however small a way - to use them in personal, arbitrary ways, so their transformation into art begins. It was words of this kind that, descending on me like a swarm of winged insects, seized on my individuality and sought to shut me up within it. Nevertheless, despite the enemy's depredations upon my person, I turned their universality - at once a weapon and a weakness - back on them, and to some extent succeeded in using words... Yukio Mishima
William Butler Yeats quote: "The blessed spirits must be sought within the self which is..."
The blessed spirits must be sought within the self which is common to all William Butler Yeats
I have never had much need for companionship, unless it was the companionship of someone I could call a friend. Certainly I have seldom wished the conversation of strangers or the sight of strange faces. I believe rather that when I was alone I felt I had in some fashion lost my individuality; to the thrush and the rabbit I had been not Severian, but Man. The many people who like to be utterly alone, and particularly to be utterly alone in a wilderness, do so, I believe, because they enjoy... Gene Wolfe
Hunter S. Thompson quote: "All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name...."
All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name. Remembered line from a long-forgotten poem Hunter S. Thompson
He had no longer any need for home, for he carried his Gormenghast within him. All that he sought was jostling within himself. He had grown up. What a boy had set out to seek a man had found, found by the act of living. Mervyn Peake
I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations Winston Churchill
The secret of seeing is, then the pearl of great price. If I thought he could teach me to find it and keep it forever I would stagger barefoot across a hundred deserts after any lunatic at all. But although the pearl may be found, it may not be sought. The literature of illumination reveals this above all: although it comes to those who wait for it, it is always, even to the most practiced and adept, a gift and a total surprise. I return from one walk knowing where the killdeer nests in... Annie Dillard
But he suddenly started up, and closing his eyes, placed his fingers upon the lids, as though he sought to imprison within his brain some curious dream from which he feared he might awake. Oscar Wilde
I was at once content and stimulated with what I saw: I liked what I had seen, and wished to see more. Yet, for a long time, I treated you distantly, and sought your company rarely. I was an intellectual epicure, and wished to prolong the gratification of making this novel and piquant acquaintance: besides, I was for a while troubled with a haunting fear that if I handled the flower freely its bloom would fade-the sweet charm of freshness would leave it. I did not then know that it was no... Charlotte Bronte
Jim Morrison quote: "A man searching for paradise lost can seem a fool to those who..."
A man searching for paradise lost can seem a fool to those who never sought the other world. Jim Morrison
O captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done. The ship has weather'd every wrack. The prize we sought is won. The port is near, the bells I hear. The people all exulting. While follow eyes, the steady keel. The vessel grim and daring. But Heart! Heart! Heart! O the bleeding drops of red. Where on the deck my captain lies. Fallen cold and dead. Walt Whitman
