Edge Quotes

There’s something arbitrary about taking a picture. So I can stand at the edge of a highway and take one step forward and it can be a natural landscape untouched by man and I can take one step back and include a guardrail and change the meaning of the picture radically... I can take a picture of a person at one moment and make them look contemplative and photograph them two seconds later and make them look frivolous Picture Quote #1

This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn Picture Quote #1

What they don’t know is that I went over the edge years ago, and lived to tell the tale Picture Quote #1

You have a certain set of facts and you are looking for situations where you have an edge, whether the edge is psychological or statistical Picture Quote #1

I wonder this: If you take a woman and push her to the edge, how will she behave? Picture Quote #1

You need to have that edge, you need to have that confidence, you need to have that absolute belief that you’re the best and that you’ll win every time Picture Quote #1

The designs are more about the whole thing rather than the details, and if I were to do the big shapes I do, color would maybe be too much. Pink or red would push it all over the edge Picture Quote #1

When I make a work, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse, and that’s a very beautiful balance Picture Quote #1

The things that separate the planes are the incisions and the edges of the matter. Each separate layer of cutting or painting is visible and readable as an edge Picture Quote #1

Being out on the edge, with everything at risk, is where you learn and grow the most Picture Quote #1

When we come to an edge we come to a frontier that tells us that we are now about to become more than we have been before Picture Quote #1

For many years, I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. The color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. And the color of where you can never go Picture Quote #1

It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn Picture Quote #1

Keep me rather in this cage, and feed me sparingly, if you dare. Anything that brings me closer to illness and the edge of death makes me more faithful. It is only when you make me suffer that I feel safe and secure. You should never have agreed to be a God for me if you were afraid to assume the duties of a God, and we know that they are not as tender as all that. You have already seen me cry. Now you must learn to relish my tears Picture Quote #1

You check into the hotel and see you’re booked for seven nights. But you know you might be leaving in a day or two. It’s exciting for the fans. But you’re on edge. And you’re on edge the whole round Picture Quote #1

I don’t regret the decision to retire. My body was losing its edge. I was taking longer to recover from injuries. You have to get out at some point Picture Quote #1

We know there is gravity because apples fall from trees. We can observe gravity in daily life. If we could throw an apple to the edge of the universe, we would observe it accelerating Picture Quote #1

The conscious mind is not at the center of the action in the brain; instead, it is far out on a distant edge, hearing but whispers of the activity Picture Quote #1

It is in the wild places, where the edge of the earth meets the corners of the sky, the human spirit is fed Picture Quote #1

The edge of the conflict swayed to and fro, with wild whirlpools and eddies. At times I saw around me more of the enemy than of my own men; gaps opening, swallowing, closing again with sharp convulsive energy. All around, a strange, mingled roar Picture Quote #1

The fact that a knight is temporarily on the edge of the board is of no great significance Picture Quote #1

What interests me about fiction is, in part, its flickering edge between realism and where a tear in the fabric of a story lets in some other sort of light Picture Quote #1

We’re left with so little to go on. Only the present is full enough to seem complete, and even that is an optical illusion. The moment is bleeding off the page. We live on the precipice of our perceptions. At the edge of every living instant, the world shears away like a cliff of ice into the sea of what is forgotten Picture Quote #1

Memories are dangerous things. You turn them over and over, until you know every touch and corner, but still you’ll find an edge to cut you Picture Quote #1

It’s walking the razor’s edge of the sacred moment where you don’t know, you can’t count on, and comfort yourself with any sure hope. All you can know is your allegiance to life and your intention to serve it in this moment that we are given. In that sense, this radical uncertainty liberates your creativity and courage Picture Quote #1

We’ve never played at this place before. This place is big, and I’m kinda nervous, so we’re going to make it feel small by pretending we’re in a... bedroom. We’ll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked! Picture Quote #1

I often wonder if you wrote your memoir today, if your life story would be lived on the edge of possibility, if you held wonder in one hand and courage in the other and truly believed that anything was possible Picture Quote #1

It might pay to be resilient, if this was all being vulnerable and skinless got you. People didn’t stop and cluck over damage done unless you made it worth their while. Indeed, maybe it was time to rethink this whole salvation business. Or maybe I was less desperate, less teetering on the edge than I cared to admit. Now, that was a refreshing possibility Picture Quote #1

Live with a man forty years. Share his house, his meals, speak on every subject. Then tie him up and hold him over the volcano’s edge, and on that day, you will finally meet the man Picture Quote #1

This is the first step toward understanding the process of real, lasting change: simply knowing with certainty that you can do whatever you need to do. This understanding has a dual edge: On the one hand it increases your confidence and dignity. On the other hand, it places full responsibility on you if you fail to make the change you set out to make. But this is a good thing, not a guilt trip Picture Quote #1
