Joseph Smith, Jr. quote: "And my father dwelt in a tent."
And my father dwelt in a tent. Joseph Smith, Jr.
He took a step toward her, than another, tentatively, gathering all his strength, as though about to throw a heavy switch that would, if his calculations were correct, bring light to a hundred cities and ten thousand darkened rooms. He was going to ask her to dance - that was all. Michael Chabon
I asked him if it were a mirage, and he said yes. I said it was a dream, and he agreed, But said it was the desert's dream not his. And he told me that in a year or so, when he had aged enough for any man, then he would walk into the wind, until he saw the tents. This time, he said, he would go on with them. Neil Gaiman
But this first clumsy attempt showed her that the imagination itself was a source of secrets: once she had begun a story, no one could be told. Pretending in words was too tentative, too vulnerable, too embarrassing to let anyone know. Even writing out the she saids, the and thens, made her wince, and she felt foolish, appearing to know about the emotions of an imaginary being. Self-exposure was inevitable the moment she described a character's weakness; the reader was bound to speculate that... Ian Mcewan
Ram. My lord constable, the armor that I saw in your tent to-night, are those stars or suns upon it? Con. Stars, my lord. Dau. Some of them will fall to-morrow, I hope. Con. And yet my sky shall not want. Dau. That may be, for you bear a many superfluously, and ’twere more honor some were away. Con. Even as your horse bears your praises; who would trot as well, were some of your brags dismounted. Henry V, 3.7.69-78 William Shakespeare
The dead man in Yossarian's tent was a pest, and Yossarian didn't like him, even though he had never seen him. Having him laying around all day annoyed Yossarian so much that he had gone to the orderly room several times to complain to Sergeant Towser, who refused to admit that the dead man even existed, which, of course, he no longer did. Joseph Heller
Timothy Findley quote: "They waited. The door did not open. The rain did not stop. The..."
They waited. The door did not open. The rain did not stop. The darkness made a tent and covered them completely. Timothy Findley
As the TiVos and the Replays are coming into our world - and they're coming - it's better to - be inside the tent and figure out what they're doing and to work hand in hand with them as opposed to saying, 'You know what, the automobile is not going to work. I'm going to stick to my horse and carriage,' you know. Leslie Moonves
The Republican Party is a much bigger tent than people give it credit for. We have a lot of what I guess you all call moderate Republicans. Rudy Giuliani
JJ Abrams is definitely a guy that when he calls, you want to answer. He's incredibly focused. When he was shooting the pilot on 'Lost,' we'd do a take and he'd go back to his tent and be working on the first episodes of 'Lost' as well as the cliffhanger for the eighth season of 'Alias.' He's an incredible multitasker. Jorge Garcia
Catholicism is a wide tent in terms of political and legal positions. We could have nine Catholics on the Supreme Court and a great deal of diversity toward the law. Cass Sunstein
Shelley Duvall quote: "For a while we lived in a tent we'd pitched inside his..."
For a while we lived in a tent we'd pitched inside his parents' house and we slept on pillows. Shelley Duvall
Anyone who has spent a few nights in a tent during a storm can tell you: The world doesn't care all that much if you live or die. Anthony Doerr
Jamie Dimon quote: "Economies of scale are a good thing. If we didn't have them,..."
Economies of scale are a good thing. If we didn't have them, we'd still be living in tents and eating buffalo. Jamie Dimon
That's what governors do, they wrestle with the issues, they find solutions and they move the agenda forward. At the appropriate time we'll talk about all of these issues, while remembering that our party is a big tent party. We lose when we try to become exclusive to one particular set of issues. Jon Huntsman, Jr.
