Taken Quotes (page 55)

Jeanne, I fell asleep among the paintings, where I could sit for many days worshipping your portrait. I fell in love with your portrait, Jeanne, because it will never change. I have such a fear of seeing you grow old, Jeanne, I fell in love with an unchanging you that will never be taken away from me. I was wishing you would die, so that no one could take you away from me, and I would love the painting of you as you would look eternally. Anais Nin
Gerald Massey quote: "They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as..."
They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority. Gerald Massey
There was something ghost-like and insubstantial about gases to these early chemists. They called liquids that turned into gases easily, "spirits." Methyl alcohol, they called "wood spirit"; ethyl alcohol, "wine spirit." Even today, alcoholic beverages are frequently referred to as "spirits." (Modern Arabs, from whose language the word "alcohol" was taken, call ethyl alcohol "spirit" from the English. This is a queer exchange.) Isaac Asimov
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch; his virtues and..."
A man's shortcomings are taken from his epoch; his virtues and greatness belong to himself. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox. Nicholas Sparks
Oh, I'm not afraid of death! What have I got to live for after all? I suppose you believe it's very wrong to kill a person who has injured you-even if they've taken away everything you had in the world? Agatha Christie
. . . Moon-Watcher felt the first faint twinges of a new and potent emotion. It was a vague and diffuse sense of envy--of dissatisfaction with his life. He had no idea of its cause, still less of its cure; but discontent had come into his soul, and he had taken one small step toward humanity. Arthur C. Clarke
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken..."
A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it. J. R. R. Tolkien
As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: "What is his point of reference here?" But begin with yourself: examine yourself first. Marcus Aurelius
there is something admirable ... to have to coexist ... some thousands of souls for whom even the hope of a last judgment has been taken away. Raoul Vaneigem
A voice hissed: "He sheds tears!"It was taken around the ring "Usal gives moisture to the dead!"He felt fingers touch his damp cheek, heard the awed whispers. Frank Herbert
Hope for some means its loss for others; when the hopeless regain some hope, those in power--the ones who had taken it away--become afraid, more protective of their endangered interests, more repressive. Azar Nafisi
I know you'll probably get angry with me for that, shout, stamp your feet: "speak just for yourself and your miseries in the underground, and don't go saying 'we all.'" Excuse me, gentleman, but I am not justifying myself with this allishness. As far as I myself am concerned, I have merely carried to an extreme in my life what you have not dared to carry even halfway, and, what's more, you've taken your cowardice for good sense, and found comfort in thus deceiving yourselves. So that I,... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Marriage has now taken the form of divorce: a prolonged and impassioned negotiation as to how things shall be divided. (from "Feminism, the Body, and the Machine") Wendell Berry
Angelina Jolie quote: "I'm with a man who's evolved enough to look at my body and see..."
I'm with a man who's evolved enough to look at my body and see it as more beautiful because of the journey it has taken. Angelina Jolie
