Faintly Quotes

The night of sorrow now is turned to day: her two blue windows faintly she upheaveth, like the fair sun when in his fresh array he cheers the morn and all the earth relieveth; and as the bright sun glorifies the sky, so is her face illumined with her eye; Picture Quote #1

Love is the world’s infinite mutability; lies, hatred, murder even, are all knit up in it; it is the inevitable blossoming of its opposites, a magnificent rose smelling faintly of blood Picture Quote #1

Duty reaches down the ages in its effects, and into eternity; and when the man goes about it resolutely, it seems to me now as though his footsteps were echoing beyond the stars, though only heard faintly in the atmosphere of this world Picture Quote #1

But happiness is being able to hope, however faintly, for happiness. So, at least, we must believe if we are to live in the world of today Picture Quote #1

A good book deserves an active reading. The activity of reading does not stop with the work of understanding what a book says. It must be completed by the work of criticism, the work of judging. The undemanding reader fails to satisfy this requirement, probably even more than he fails to analyze and interpret. He not only makes no effort to understand; he also dismisses a book simply by putting it aside and forgetting it. Worse than faintly praising it, he damns it by giving it no critical consideration whatever Picture Quote #1

Like world describers before me, those mapmakers in the seventeenth centure, I had laid down my first faintly drawn border. With that one tentative mark, my world expanded by a few freeing degrees Picture Quote #1

When his grandchildren had been little, they had asked if they could hide inside the clock. Now he wanted to gather them and open himself up and hide them among his ribs and faintly ticking heart Picture Quote #1

It’s fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it Picture Quote #1

Unless a man or woman has experienced the darkness of the soul he or she can know nothing of that transforming laughter without which no hint of the ultimate reality of the opposites can be faintly intuited Picture Quote #1

There was a wonderful atmosphere of gentle age, a smell of flowers and beeswax, sweet yet faintly sour and musty; a smell that makes you feel very tender towards the past Picture Quote #1

I could still remember how having a two day old baby makes you feel faintly sorry for everyone else, stuck in their wan unmiraculous lives Picture Quote #1

The reading public isn’t born that doesn’t think foreigners are either funny or faintly sinister Picture Quote #1
