Alice Meynell Quotes

My day-mind can endure / Upright, in hope, all it must undergo. / But O, afraid, unsure, / My night-mind waking lies too low, too low Picture Quote #1

Let a man turn to his own childhood - no further - if he will renew his sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change Picture Quote #1

It is easy to replace man, and it will take no great time, when Nature has lapsed, to replace Nature Picture Quote #1

A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back - it is already so far Picture Quote #1

Childhood is but change made gay and visible Picture Quote #1

... no mirror keeps its glances Picture Quote #1

If life is not always poetical, it is at least metrical Picture Quote #1

I come from nothing: but from where come the undying thoughts I bear? Picture Quote #1

Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind Picture Quote #1

Assuredly it would be a pity if laughter should ever become, like rhetoric and the arts, a habit Picture Quote #1

The true color of life is the color of the body, the color of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest color of the unpublished blood Picture Quote #1

Terrestrial scenery is much, but it is not all. Men go in search of it; but the celestial scenery journeys to them; it goes its way round the world. It has no nation, it costs no wearinesss, it knows no bonds Picture Quote #1

Recurrence is sure. What the mind suffered last week, or last year, it does not suffer now; but it will suffer again next week or next year. Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind Picture Quote #1

There is no innocent sleep so innocent as sleep shared between a woman and a child, the little breath hurrying beside the longer, as a child’s foot runs Picture Quote #1

The feet should have more of the acquaintance of earth, and know more of flowers, freshness, cool brooks, wild thyme, and salt sand than does anything else about us.... It is only the entirely unshod that have lively feet Picture Quote #1

Tender, too, is the silence of human feet. You have but to pass a season amongst the barefooted to find that man, who, shod, makes so much ado, is naturally as silent as snow Picture Quote #1

Spring and autumn are inconsiderable events in a landscape compared with the shadows of a cloud Picture Quote #1

Play is not for every hour of the day, or for any hour taken at random. There is a tide in the affairs of children. Civilization is cruel in sending them to bed at the most stimulating time of dusk Picture Quote #1

It is principally for the sake of the leg that a change in the dress of man is so much to be desired. The leg is the best part of the figure and the best leg is the man s. Man should no longer disguise the long lines, the strong forms, in those lengths of piping or tubing that are of all garments the most stupid Picture Quote #1

If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds Picture Quote #1

The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter Picture Quote #1

Spirit of place! It is for this we travel, to surprise its subtlety; and where it is a strong and dominant angel, that place, seen once, abides entire in the memory with all its own accidents, its habits, its breath, its name Picture Quote #1

Our fathers valued change for the sake of its results; we value it in the act Picture Quote #1
