Timing Quotes (page 207)

Sometimes we credit ourselves with a longing to be in some distant spot, whereas, in truth, we are only longing to have the time back again which we spent there---days when we were younger and fresher than we are now. Arthur Schopenhauer
In normal times we are all aware, consciously or not, that there is no love which cannot be surpassed, yet we accept with a greater or lesser degree of equanimity that ours shall remain merely average. Albert Camus
Radio is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome. T. S. Eliot
While Newton seemed to draw off the veil from some of the mysteries of nature, he showed at the same time the imperfections of the mechanical philosophy, so agreeable to the natural vanity and curiosity of men; and thereby restored her ultimate secrets to that obscurity, in which they ever did and ever will remain. David Hume
He walked, looking about him angrily and distractedly. All his ideas now seemed to be circling round some single point, and he felt that there really was such a point, and that now, now, he was left facing that point—and for the first time, indeed, during the last two months. Fyodor Dostoevsky
My friend's wiry arms were around me and he was leading me to the chair."You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake say that you're not hurt!"It was worth a wound -it was worth many wounds- to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay beyond that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. Arthur Conan Doyle
C. S. Lewis quote: "They did nothing wrong their time here has ended"
They did nothing wrong their time here has ended C. S. Lewis
We wait, we wait, And the saints and martyrs wait, for those who shall be martyrs and saints. Destiny waits in the hand of God, shaping the still unshapen: I have seen these things in a shaft of sunlight. Destiny waits in the hand of God, not in the hands of statesmen. Who do, some well, some ill, planning and guessing, Having their aims which turn in their hands in the pattern of time. T. S. Eliot
The children on the playground all heard her. They took off running together, as far away as possible from Antonia Owens, who might hex you if you did her wrong, and from her aunts, who might boil up garden toads and slip them into your stew, and from her mother, who was so angry and protective she might just freeze you in time, ensuring that you were forever trapped on the green grass at the age of ten or eleven. Alice Hoffman
John Crowley quote: "What you learn as you get older is that the world is old, and..."
What you learn as you get older is that the world is old, and has been old for a long time. John Crowley
In loneliness, in sickness, in confusion-the mere knowledge of friendship makes it possible to endure, even if the friend is powerless to help. It is enough that they exist. Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply. It is from these things that it flowers. Pam Brown
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "And many such good inventions are there, that they are like..."
And many such good inventions are there, that they are like woman’s breasts: useful at the same time, and pleasant. Friedrich Nietzsche
No, when the time comes, I’m sure I’ll kill just like everybody else. I can’t go down without a fight. Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they don’t own me. Suzanne Collins
Even now, I have a lot of trouble understanding why Sharon stayed – or why she married me in the first place, come to think of it. I mean, she was actually afraid of me half the time. And the truth was I was afraid of me, too. Afraid of what I’d do to myself or, even worse, to someone else. Ozzy Osbourne
Nicolas Chamfort quote: "In order not to find life unbearable, you must accept two..."
In order not to find life unbearable, you must accept two things: the ravages of time and the injustices of man. Nicolas Chamfort
