Waiting For Something Quotes

Every other way is like that -- him waiting for something to happen to him, daring somebody to do something nice such as come up and touch him just so he could say, 'Why in the world did you do that?' and hold on tight till whoever bothered him vanished -- and nothing about him since has ever surprised me. Reynolds Price
Deep down, all the while, she was waiting for something to happen. Like a sailor in distress, she kept casting desperate glances over the solitary waster of her life, seeking some white sail in the distant mists of the horizon. She had no idea by what wind it would reach her, toward what shore it would bear her, or what kind of craft it would be? tiny boat or towering vessel, laden with heartbreaks or filled to the gunwhales with rapture. But every morning when she awoke she hoped that today... Gustave Flaubert
Don't wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater. Mary Manin Morrissey
At the bottom of her heart, however, she was waiting for something to happen. Like shipwrecked sailors, she turned despairing eyes upon the solitude of her life, seeking afar off some white sail in the mists of the horizon. She did not know what this chance would be, what wind would bring it her, towards what shore it would drive her, if it would be a shallop or a three-decker, laden with anguish or full of bliss to the portholes. But each morning, as she awoke, she hoped it would come that... Gustave Flaubert
A sombrero fell out of the sky and landed on the main street of town in front of the mayor, his cousin, and a person out of work. The day was scrubbed clean by the desert air. The sky was blue. It was the blue of human eyes, waiting for something to happen. There was no reason for a sombrero to fall out of the sky. No airplane or helicopter was passing overhead and it was not a religious holiday. Richard Brautigan
But as a woman, I really started feeling vulnerable on the set, and I really felt that it was important that I should not be open for invitation or making myself look as though I was waiting for something. John Lone
Charles de Lint quote: "The minutes dragged by as they only did when you had no choice..."
The minutes dragged by as they only did when you had no choice but to wait for something. Charles de Lint
Most of the people I know who are having trouble finding their life work are somewhat passive in style. They wait for something good to happen to them rather than make strong positive moves. Thomas Moore
Constellations shine with light that was emitted aeons ago, and I wait for something to come to me, words that a poet might use to illuminate life's mysteries. But there is nothing. Nicholas Sparks
Andy Warhol quote: "The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting"
The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting Andy Warhol
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored Earl Nightingale
Shirley Jackson quote: "We eat the year away. We eat the spring and the summer and the..."
We eat the year away. We eat the spring and the summer and the fall. We wait for something to grow and then we eat it. Shirley Jackson
The numbing mind-ream of knowing you're alone not because people won't accept you but because you find so little worth accepting. An imposed solitude is better than simply tolerating your company in waiting for something better. So loneliness is not such a terrible thing when you consider that the alternative to thought provoking solace is to be surrounded only by remindings of why that solitude is preferable. Jhonen Vasquez
Marguerite Duras quote: "She had lived her early years as though she were waiting for..."
She had lived her early years as though she were waiting for something she might, but never did, become. Marguerite Duras
Trip Hawkins quote: "If you always wanted to wait for something better, you'd never..."
If you always wanted to wait for something better, you'd never buy anything, right? Trip Hawkins
