Talismans Quotes

Robert James Waller quote: "Talisman, Talisman, show me your secrets, Helmsman, Helmsman,..."
Talisman, Talisman, show me your secrets, Helmsman, Helmsman, turn me for home. Robert James Waller
Italo Calvino quote: "A classic is the term given to any book which comes to..."
A classic is the term given to any book which comes to represent the whole universe, a book on a par with ancient talismans. Italo Calvino
And now a chill settled over them where they stood, and Harry heard the rasping breath of the dementors that patrolled the outer trees. They would not affect him now. The fact of his own survival burned inside him, a talisman against them, as though his father's stag kept guardian in his heart. J. K. Rowling
My hips bristle with totems and talismans, proof that I am not simply a character in a fixed book or film. I am no single narrative. As neither Rebecca de Winter nor Jane Eyre, I am free to revise my story, to reinvent myself, my world, at any given moment. Chuck Palahniuk
O Fiend, whose talisman was that fatal symbol, wouldst thou leave nothing, whether in youth or age, for this poor sinner to revere?—such loss of faith is ever one of the saddest results of sin. Nathaniel Hawthorne
DiMaggio's grace came to represent more than athletic skill in those years. To the men who wrote about the game, it was a talisman, a touchstone, a symbol of the limitless potential of the human individual. That an Italian immigrant, a fisherman's son, could catch fly balls the way Keats wrote poetry or Beethoven wrote sonatas was more than just a popular marvel. It was proof positive that democracy was real. On the baseball diamond, if nowhere else, America was truly a classless society.... David Halberstam
William Cowper quote: "Books are not seldom talismans and spells."
Books are not seldom talismans and spells. William Cowper
There are illusions of popular history which a successful religion must promote: Evil men never prosper; only the brave deserve the fair; honesty is the best policy; actions speak louder than words; virtue always triumphs; a good deed is its own reward; any bad human can be reformed; religious talismans protect one from demon possession; only females understand the ancient mysteries; the rich are doomed to unhappiness. Frank Herbert
Stephen King quote: "When he remembered to turn and look for it, the Talisman was..."
When he remembered to turn and look for it, the Talisman was gone. Stephen King
Stephen R. Donaldson quote: "The idea that his wedding band was some kind of talisman..."
The idea that his wedding band was some kind of talisman nauseated him like the smell of attar. Stephen R. Donaldson
Greg Broadmore's fertile and twisted imagination has conjoined multiple genres, memories, and a sharp sense of pulp, colonialist nostalgia/parody in this lavish, fully realized, imaginative tour-de-force. It's Jules Verne meets Fritz Lang meets Tintin. It's beyond Steampunk. It's clearly an insatiable passion for the talismans of a bygone civilization and it's slavish addiction to the early industrial age in all it's filigreed, ignorant glory. Greg has raised the bar. Adam Savage
Jack Vance quote: "My talismans are not obviously useless."
My talismans are not obviously useless. Jack Vance
He had divested himself of the little cloaked godlet and his other amulets in a place where they would not be found in his lifetime and he'd taken for talisman the simple human heart within him. Cormac McCarthy
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure to success. Dorthea Brande
John Quincy Adams quote: "Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which..."
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air. John Quincy Adams
