Where Quotes (page 337)

These memories sustained him, but not so easily. Too often they reminded him of where he was when he last summoned them. They lay on the far side of a great divide in time, as significant as B.C. and A.D. Before prison, before the war, before the sight of a corpse became a banality. Ian Mcewan
Victor Hugo quote: "Certainly, I approve of political opinions, but there are..."
Certainly, I approve of political opinions, but there are people who do not know where to stop. Victor Hugo
One thing is clear: The Founding Fathers never intended a nation where citizens would pay nearly half of everything they earn to the government. Ron Paul
Education doesn't make you happy. And what is freedom? We don't become happy just because we are free, if we are. Or because we have been educated, if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears. Tells use where delights are lurking. Convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever: that of the mind. And give us the assurance, the confidence, to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers. Iris Murdoch
The door could not be heard slamming; they had probably left it open, as is the custom in homes where a great misfortune has occurred. Franz Kafka
Mark Twain quote: "I'll not go where there is any of that sort of thing going on,..."
I'll not go where there is any of that sort of thing going on, again. It's the sure way, and the only sure way; Mark Twain
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Anne Frank
Neil Young quote: "A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where..."
A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where it can be left on its own for a while. Neil Young
The intellectual attainments of a man who thinks for himself resemble a fine painting, where the light and shade are correct, the tone sustained, the colour perfectly harmonised; it is true to life. On the other hand, the intellectual attainments of the mere man of learning are like a large palette, full of all sorts of colours, which at most are systematically arranged, but devoid of harmony, connection and meaning. Arthur Schopenhauer
It was always dear to me, this solitary hill, and this hedgerow here, that closes out my view, from so much of the ultimate horizon. But sitting here, and watching here, in thought, I create interminable spaces, greater than human silences, and deepestquiet, where the heart barely fails to terrify. When I hear the wind, blowing among these leaves, I go on to compare that infinite silencewith this voice, and I remember the eternaland the dead seasons, and the living present, and its sound, so... Giacomo Leopardi
The realization of what would happen next settled gradually over Harry in the long minutes, like softly falling snow. "I've got to go back, haven't I?" "That is up to you." "I've got a choice?" "Oh yes." Dumbledore smiled at him. "We are in King's Cross, you say? I think that if you decided not to go back, you would be able to…let's say…board a train." "And where would it take me?" "On," said Dumbledore simply. J. K. Rowling
The social function of narrative is not limited to 'primitive' people sitting around the fire telling each other where Fire came from and why they're sitting around it. Ursula K. Le Guin
Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you--haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul! Emily Bronte
A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light. Leonardo da Vinci
Terry Prachett quote: "The moments that change your life are the ones that happen..."
The moments that change your life are the ones that happen suddenly, like the one where you die. Terry Prachett
