It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me. Khalil Gibran
She smiled. She knew she was dying. But it did not matter any longer. She had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. She had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. Life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. A moment or an eternity- did it matter?... Ayn Rand
Nora Roberts quote: "Sex might satisfy, food might fuel, love might sustain, but..."
Sex might satisfy, food might fuel, love might sustain, but without coffee, what is the point? Nora Roberts
James Patterson quote: "You mean other than the wings? I once ate nine snicker bars in..."
You mean other than the wings? I once ate nine snicker bars in a row without barfing. It was a record. James Patterson
Mark Twain quote: "What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce."
What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce. Mark Twain
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also..."
It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them! Friedrich Nietzsche
Our young people think about nothing more than love affairs and pleasure. They spend more time attempting to seduce and dishonor young women than in thinking about their country's welfare. Our women, in order to take care of the house and family of God, forget their own. Our men limit their activities to vice and their heroics to shameful acts. Children wake up in a fog of routine, adolescents live out their best years without ideals, and their elders are sterile, and only serve to corrupt... Jose Rizal
There is something indefinably keen and wan about her anatomy, and she has a watchful way of looking out of the corners of her eyes without turning her head which could be pleasantly dispensed with, especially when she is in ill humor and near knives. Charles Dickens
Only a handful of companies understand that all successful business operations come down to three basic principles: People, Product, Profit. Without TOP people, you cannot do much with the others. Malcolm Forbes
But, when nothing subsists of an old past, after the death of people, after the destruction of things, alone, frailer but more enduring, more immaterial, more persistent, more faithful, smell and taste still remain for a long time, like souls, remembering, waiting, hoping, on the ruin of all the rest, bearing without giving way, on their almost impalpable droplet, the immense edifice of memory. Marcel Proust
George Orwell quote: "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing."
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. George Orwell
The stars are far brighter. Than gems without measure, The moon is far whiter. Than silver in treasure; The fire is more shining. On hearth in the gloaming. Than gold won by mining, So why go a-roaming? O! Tra-la-la-lally Come back to the Valley. J. R. R. Tolkien
That’s why our TVs are brimming with so much hot man-on-pan action. You can’t channel surf for long without seeing turkey getting stuffed over and over until they finally cut to the gravy shot. Stephen Colbert
More than that, I believe that the grass is green because green is restful to the human eye, that the sky is blue to give us an idea of the infinite. And that blood is red so that murder will be more easily detected and criminals will be brought to justice. Yes, and I believe that I shall live forever, but I shall live without reason. Penelope Fitzgerald
The art of reading is to skip judiciously. Whole libraries may be skipped these days, when we have the results of them in our modern culture without going over the ground again. And even of the books we decide to read, there are almost always large portions which do not concern us, and which we are sure to forget the day after we have read them. The art is to skip all that does not concern us, while missing nothing that we really need. No external guidance can teach us this; for nobody but... Philip Gilbert Hamerton
