Stepping Quotes (page 31)

Virgil quote: "It is easy to go down into Hell...; but to climb back again,..."
It is easy to go down into Hell...; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air---there's the rub... Virgil
Children...wake up and find themselves here, discover themselves to have been here all along; is this sad? They wake like sleepwalkers, in full stride,; they wake like people brought back from cardiac arrest or from drowning: in medias res, surrounded by familiar people and objects, equipped with a hundred skills. They know the neighborhood, they can read and write English, they are old hands at the commonplace mysteries, and yet they feel themselves to have just stepped off the boat, just... Annie Dillard
[A] disciple...can never imitate his guide's steps. You have your own way of living your life, of dealing with problems, and of winning. Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself. Paulo Coelho
Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are. H. G. Wells
The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal. Deepak Chopra
Whenever someone who knows you disappears, you lose one version of yourself. Yourself as you were seen, as you were judged to be. Lover or enemy, mother or friend, those who know us construct us, and their several knowings slant the different facets of our characters like diamond-cutter's tools. Each such loss is a step leading to the grave, where all versions blend and end. Salman Rushdie
I think every person who is single should have a dog. I think the government should step in and intervene: If you're not married or coupled up, whether you've been dumped or divorced or widowed or whatever, they should require you to proceed immediately to the pound nearest you and select an animal companion. Jennifer Weiner
Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good. 'Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm. Ralph Waldo Emerson
There were no men in this painting, but it was about men, the kind who caused women to fall. I did not ascribe any intentions to these men. They were like the weather, they didn't have a mind. They merely drenched you or struck you like lightning and moved on, mindless as blizzards. Or they were like rocks, a line of sharp slippery rocks with jagged edges. You could walk with care along between the rocks, picking your steps, and if you slipped you'd fall and cut yourself, but it was no use... Margaret Atwood
Pablo Picasso quote: "Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have..."
Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things. Pablo Picasso
So the first step out of childhood is made all at once, without looking before or behind, without caution, and nothing held in reserve. Ursula K. Le Guin
Neglecting to ask God's counsel, neglecting to seek God's timing, you step in to *handle* things. And by and by, you've got a mess on your hands. Charles R. Swindoll
You know what it's like when two people start a conversation. First one of them does all the talking, the other breaks in with "That's just like me, I... " and goes on himself until his partner finds a chance to say, "That's just like me, I... "The "That's just like me, I... 's" may look like a form of agreement, a way of carrying the other party's idea a step further, but that is an illusion... Milan Kundera
Mary Roberts Rinehart quote: "All lives are so divided: a step back; a plunge; and then, in..."
All lives are so divided: a step back; a plunge; and then, in desperation and despair, a little climb up God's ladder. Mary Roberts Rinehart
You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could g? well, anywhere at all. Stephen King
