Where Quotes (page 226)

As soon as I arrived I made an attempt to find my host but the two or three people of whom I asked his whereabouts stared at me in such an amazed way and denied so vehemently an knowledge of his movements that I slunk off in the direction of the cocktail table--the only place in the garden where a single man could linger without looking purposeless and alone.

There are no more deserts. There are no more islands. Yet thereis a need for them. In order to understand the world, one has to turnaway from it on occasion; in order to serve men better, one has tohold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find thesolitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mindcollects itself and courage gauges its strength? Albert Camus
We know that God is everywhere…it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence. Charlotte Bronte
He groped for his loafers and walked aimlessly for some time among the trees of the coppice where thrushes were singing so richly, with such sonorous force, such fluty fioriture that one could not endure the agony of consciousness, the filth of life, the loss, the loss, the loss. Vladimir Nabokov
Now it befell on summer night, upon a lawn where lingering lightyet lay and faded faint and grey, that Luthien danced while he did play J. R. R. Tolkien
You know the smallest thing can change your life, In the blink of an eye somethings happen by chance and you least expect it since were in course we can never plan into a future you never imagined. Where will it take you that's the journey of our lives. Our search for the light but, sometimes finding the light means you must pass through the deepest darkness. At least that's how it was for m Nicholas Sparks
I'll be ever'where–wherever you look. Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there..An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses the build–why I'll be there. John Steinbeck
Run along, my friend, Andrei Petrovitch, put a hat on your learned head, and let us go where our eyes lead us. Our eyes are young--they may lead us far. Ivan Turgenev
If the confident animal coming toward ushad a mind like ours, the change in him would startle us. But to him his own being is endless, undefined, and without regardfor his condition: clear, like his eyes. Where we see future, he sees all, and himselfin all, made whole for always. Rainer Maria Rilke
The emotionally mature individual should completely accept the fact that we live in a world of probability and chance, where there are not, nor probably ever will be, any absolute certainties, and should realize that it is not at all horrible, indeed—such a probabilistic, uncertain world. Albert Ellis
Erik Larson quote: "Perhaps, Herr Ditzen, it is less important where one lives..."
Perhaps, Herr Ditzen, it is less important where one lives than how one lives. Erik Larson
Since there are thousands of fairy tales, one may safely guess that there are probably equal numbers where the courage and determination of females rescue males, and vice versa. Bruno Bettelheim
We rarely get to prepare ourselves in meadows or on graveled walks; we do it on short notice in places without windows, hospital corridors, rooms like this lounge with its cracked plastic sofa and Cinzano ashtrays, where the cafe curtains cover blank concrete. In rooms like this, with so little time, we prepare our gestures, get them by heart so we can do them when we're frightened in the face of Doom. Thomas Harris
It doesn't matter," he said to his sheep. "I know other girls in other places." But in his heart he knew that it did matter. And he knew that shepherds, like seamen and like traveling salesmen, always found a town where there was someone who could make them forget the joys of carefree wandering. Paulo Coelho
