Edge Quotes

I do think we’re on the edge of a terrifying world, and that many young people know that but don’t know how to talk about it Picture Quote #1

I like playing characters who are out there on the edge, where they can explode at any moment or fall off the precipice Picture Quote #1

Exoticism can give you an edge: it makes people assume you’re cleverer than you are and gives you the upper hand Picture Quote #1

Does something which exists on the edge have no true relevance to the stable center, or does it, by being on the edge, become a part of the edge and thus a part of the boundary, the definition which gives the whole its shape? Picture Quote #1

From the place by the railing at the edge of the tracks on the summer evening I return across the city to my own room. I am vividly aware of my own life that escaped the winter on the boat. How many such lives I have lived. Then I only made a dollar and a half a day and now I sometimes make more than that in a few minutes. How wonderful to be able to write words... Again I begin the endless game of reconstructing my own life, jerking it out of the shell that dies, striving to breathe into it beauty and meaning... I wonder why my life, why all lives, are not more beautiful Picture Quote #1

I live through risk. Without risk there is no art. You should always be on the edge of a cliff about to fall down and break your neck Picture Quote #1

I never killed anyone. I avoid going over that edge by writing about a guy who has taken a flying leap over it Picture Quote #1

If you’re not living on the edge you’re taking up too much space Picture Quote #1

Moments like this act as magical interludes, placing our hearts at the edge of our souls: fleetingly, yet intensely, a fragment of eternity has come to enrich time... When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things Picture Quote #1

After a while, though, even the deepest sorrow faltered, even the most penetrating despair lost its scalpel edge Picture Quote #1

Will you look at us by the river! The whole restless mob of us on spread blankets in the dreamy briny sunshine skylarking and chiacking about for one day, one clear, clean, sweet day in a good world in the midst of our living. Yachts run before an unfelt gust with bagnecked pelicans riding above them, the city their twitching backdrop, all blocks and points of mirror light down to the water’s edge Picture Quote #1

Perhaps love is a minor madness. And as with madness, it’s unendurable alone. The one person who can relieve us is of course the sole person we cannot go to: the one we love. So instead we seek out allies, even among strangers and wives, fellow patients who, if they can’t touch the edge of our particular sorrow, have felt something that cuts nearly as deep Picture Quote #1

As a writer one doesn’t belong anywhere. Fiction writers, I think, are even more outside the pale, necessarily on the edge of society. Because society and people are our meat, one really doesn’t belong in the midst of society. The great challenge in writing is always to find the universal in the local, the parochial. And to do that, one needs distance Picture Quote #1

To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be Picture Quote #1

Most people, after one success, are so cringingly afraid of doing less well that they rub all the edge off their subsequent work Picture Quote #1

... the men of the Ulysses had no need to stand in shame... many had found, or were finding, that the point of no return was not necessarily the edge of the precipice: it could be the bottom of the valley, the beginning of the long climb up the far slope, and when a man had once begun that climb he never looked back to that other side Picture Quote #1

I am one who has always been interested only in the edges of the body and the spirit, the outlying regions of the body and the outlying regions of the spirit. The depths hold no interest for me; I leave them to others, for they are shallow, commonplace. What is there, then, at the outer most edge? Nothing, perhaps, save a few ribbons, dangling down into the void Picture Quote #1

I want you to be with me in the dark. To hold me. To keep loving me. To help me when I get scared. To come right to the edge and see what’s there Picture Quote #1

You want to fall, that’s all. You think it can’t go on like that. It’s as if your life is a perch on the edge of a cliff and going forward seems impossible, not for a lack of will, but a lack of space. The possibility of another day stands in defiance of the laws of physics. And you can’t go back. So you want to fall, let go, give up, but you can’t. And every breath you take reminds you of that fact. So it goes Picture Quote #1

There are times when the air that floats between mortals becomes, in its stillness and silence, as cruel as the edge of a scythe Picture Quote #1

When a daughter loses a mother, the intervals between grief responses lengthen over time, but her longing never disappears. It always hovers at the edge of her awareness, prepared to surface at any time, in any place, in the least expected ways Picture Quote #1

The poet is at the edge of our consciousness of the world, finding beyond the suspected nothingness which we imagine limits our perception another acre or so of being worth our venturing upon Picture Quote #1

Rachmaninov has some kind of weird dark edge to his music which I don’t think I’ve heard with any other kind of music before Picture Quote #1

I believe we are on the edge of a quantum leap into a whole new way of organizing and living as a human family Picture Quote #1

When you’ve learned to believe in yourself, there’s no telling how good a player you can be. That’s because you have the mental edge Picture Quote #1

As a coach, you’re just trying to figure out how to keep a team on edge. You’ve got to find that edge Picture Quote #1

He seems the incarnation of everything soft and silky and velvety, without a sharp edge in his composition, a dreamer whose philosophy is sleep and let sleep Picture Quote #1

I don’t know why that putt hung on the edge. I’m a clean liver. It must be my caddie Picture Quote #1

I have always regarded the forward edge of the battlefield as the most exclusive club in the world Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to give anyone an edge in my mind. Every time I walk out on the court, I have to feel I’m the best so I can compete well. A lot of times, my chief rival is just me Picture Quote #1
