Through Quotes (page 248)

And I ran after that voice through the streets so as not to lose sight of the splendid wreath of bodies gliding over the city, and I realized with anguish in my heart that they were flying like birds and I was falling like a stone, that they had wings and I would never have any. Milan Kundera
The Senator did not know who owned the jet, nor had he ever met Mr. Trudeau, which in most cultures would seem odd since Rudd had taken so much money from the man. But in Washington, money arrives through a myriad of strange and nebulous conduits. Often those taking it have only a vague idea of where it's coming from; often they have no clue. In most democracies, the transference of so much cash would be considered outright corruption, but in Washington the corruption has been legalized.... John Grisham
You are life, inventing form. No more can you die on sword or years than you can die on doorways through which you walk, one room into another. Every room gives its word for you to speak, every passage its song for you to sing. Richard Bach
John Steinbeck quote: "What some people find in religion a writer may find in his..."
What some people find in religion a writer may find in his craft...a kind of breaking through to glory. John Steinbeck
Ayn Rand quote: "Compromise now, because you'll have to later, anyway, only..."
Compromise now, because you'll have to later, anyway, only then you'll have gone through things you'll wish you hadn't. Ayn Rand
Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me into a crowbar. Let me pry loose old walls. Let me lift and loosen old foundations. Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me into a steel spike. Drive me into the girders that hold a skyscraper together. Take red-hot rivets and fasten me into the central girders. Let me be the great nail holding a skyscraper through blue nights into white stars. Carl Sandburg
The sunlight pouring in the east window came through her lids and made a dark red beet soup that moved with the rhythm of her heart... Stephen King
John Kenneth Galbraith quote: "If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through..."
If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows (referring to "trickle down" economics). John Kenneth Galbraith
blessing the boats (at saint mary’s) may the tide that is entering even now the lip of our understanding carry you out beyond the face of fear may you kiss the wind then turn from it certain that it will love your back may you open your eyes to water water waving forever and may you in your innocence sail through this to that Lucille Clifton
...bathed in the thick honey gold of the sun through encircling trees only just beginning to turn the muted metal colors of fall. Anne Rivers Siddons
Granted: I AM an inmate of a mental hospital; my keeper is watching me, he never lets me out of his sight; there's a peep-hole in the door, and my keeper's eye is the shade of brown that can never see through a blue-eyed type like me. Gunter Grass
I tried to visualize my jealousy as a yellowy-brown cloud boiling around inside me, then going out through my nose like smoke and turning into a stone and falling down into the ground. That did work a little. But in my visualization a plant covered with poison berries would grow out of the stone, whether I wanted it to or not. Margaret Atwood
E. B. White quote: "To perceive Christmas through its wrapping becomes more..."
To perceive Christmas through its wrapping becomes more difficult with every year. "The Distant Music of the Hounds," 1954 E. B. White
The average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of cliches. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over 80 percent of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. H. L. Mencken
People are going to think I'm morbid, loving all these sad books. I actually don't mind a happy ending in a novel—certainly, it's nice when it happens. But when you've invested so much time and your fingers have pushed through all that paper and you get to the end…well, a tragic ending kind of goes with the tragedy of finishing a book. Julia Roberts
