This Day Quotes (page 21)

This is how people behave when their dailiness is destroyed, when for a few moments they see, plain and unadorned, one of the great shaping forces of life. Calamity fixes them with her mesmeric eye, and they begin to scoop and paw at the rubble of their days, trying to pluck the memory of the quotidian - a toy, a book, a garment, even a photograph - from the garbage heaps of the irretrievable, of their overwhelming loss. Salman Rushdie
Don DeLillo quote: "days like this. i look at you and feel electric. tell me you..."
days like this. i look at you and feel electric. tell me you don't feel it too."_Eric Packer Don DeLillo
This was his favorite time of day, reading to his heart's content before going to sleep. When he tired of reading, he would fall asleep. Haruki Murakami
This land, although not my native land, Will be remembered forever. And the sea's lightly iced, Unsalty water. The sand on the bottom is whiter than chalk, The air is heady, like wine, And the rosy body of the pines. Is naked in the sunset hour. And the sunset itself on such waves of ether. That I just can't comprehend. Whether it is the end of the day, the end of the world, Or the mystery of mysteries in me again. Anna Akhmatova
This is how we celebrate the Day of the Dead in America: by turning up our collars against the scent of earthworms calling us home. Barbara Kingsolver
This was sheer idleness to my fellow-townsmen, no doubt; but if the birds and flowers had tried me by their standard, I should not have been found wanting. A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence. Henry David Thoreau
This is my body, and I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it; Study it; Tweak it; Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I am on. What am I on? I am on my bike busting my ass six hours a day; What are YOU on? Lance Armstrong
This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive. It is possible that they may be among those who understand my “Zarathustra”: how could I confound myself with those who are now sprouting ears?—First the day after tomorrow must come for me. Some men are born posthumously. Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the ending. Now not day only shall be beloved, but night too shall be beautiful and blessed and all its fear pass away. J. R. R. Tolkien
This life's a long old road. We shouldn't have to walk alone. But if you find the right companion. You won't feel so worn out when you've grown. All life is precious. And every day's a prize. And sometimes you'll find an answer in the sky Elton John
This not being pleasing, and less profitable to me, I consulted with my two brothers, Dr. Reason and Dr. Experience, and took a voyage to visit my mother Nature, by whose advice, together with the help of Dr. Diligence, I at last obtained my desire; and, being warned by Mr. Honesty, a stranger in our days, to publish it to the world, I have done it. Nicholas Culpeper
This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
H. G. Wells quote: "This is day one of year one of the new epoch, -- the Epoch of..."
This is day one of year one of the new epoch, -- the Epoch of the Invisible Man. I am Invisible Man the First. H. G. Wells
This is important! But you have to stay absolutely cool. I may be completely off-base, and panicking prematurely."I don't think so. I think you're panicking post-maturely. In fact, if you were panicking any later it would be practically posthumously. I've been panicking for days. Lois McMaster Bujold
This was a time to prepare for the cold weather, to store up fire and wood. But in those days of the triumph of materialism, matter had become a disembodied idea, and the problems of alimentation and fuel supply took the place of food and firewood. Boris Pasternak
