Lap Quotes

From the time I began to read, as a child, I loved to feel their heft in my hand and the warm spot caused by their intimate weight in my lap; I loved the crisp whisper of a page turning, the musky odor of old paper and the sharp inky whiff of new pages. Leather bindings sent me into ecstasy. I even loved to gaze at a closed book and daydream about the possibilities inside Picture Quote #1

The book was in her lap; she had read no further. The power to change one’s life comes from a paragraph, a lone remark. The lines that penetrate us are slender, like the flukes that live in river water and enter the bodies of swimmers. She was excited, filled with strength. The polished sentences had arrived, it seemed, like so many other things, at just the right time. How can we imagine what our lives should be without the illumination of the lives of others? Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to fall back. But I realized it was more important to make it to the end under my own power than to run flat out in the lead or in second and then run out of fuel with a lap to go Picture Quote #1

How do you summon up courage to dismiss a cat who is paying you a compliment of sitting on your lap? Picture Quote #1

It was a very strange, disappointing race in that no one wanted to take it out. That’s why I took the lead. I wanted some people to run the real distance and that was frustrating. So I took the pace around the second lap, which in some ways is suicidal... but I wanted the pace to be honest Picture Quote #1

Winning is euphoric, but it lasts a short time. You’ve got to lap it up, then move on to the next thing. I think I’ve kept winning because I haven’t attached myself to past successes Picture Quote #1

Of course there were areas of safety; nothing could get at me if I curled up on my father’s lap, holding his ear with one thumb tucked into it... All about him was safe Picture Quote #1

Distance running to a professional athlete in my day was five laps around the field. And you stopped each lap to take your pulse Picture Quote #1

Some day your head won’t find my lap so easily. Trust is a habit you’ll soon break Picture Quote #1

Cats, I always think, only jump into your lap to check if you are cold enough, yet, to eat Picture Quote #1

Every day there comes a moment when a person lays his hands in his lap and all his busyness collapses like ashes. The work accomplished is, from the soul’s point of view, entirely imaginary Picture Quote #1

I believe in destiny. But I also believe that you can’t just sit back and let destiny happen. A lot of times, an opportunity might fall into your lap, but you have to be ready for that opportunity. You can’t sit there waiting on it. A lot of times you are going to have to get out there and make it happen Picture Quote #1

I have now and again tried to imagine the perfect environment, the ideal conditions for reading: A worn leather armchair on a rainy night? A hammock in a freshly mown backyard? A verandah overlooking the summer sea? Good choices, every one. But I have no doubt that they are all merely displacements, sentimental attempts to replicate the warmth and snugness of my mother’s lap Picture Quote #1

Don’t wait till you’re older, or in some better job than you have now. Don’t wait for anything. Don’t wait till some magical... idea drops into your lap. That’s not where ideas come from. Go looking for an idea and it’ll show up. Begin now Picture Quote #1

Running is a gift I give myself almost daily. Even at days when everything seems to go wrong, I treat myself on the satisfaction of a lap of 30 to 40 minutes Picture Quote #1

I never use a napkin on my lap at a restaurant... because I believe in myself Picture Quote #1

His mind was like a soup dish, wide and shallow; it could hold a small amount of nearly anything, but the slightest jarring spilled the soup into somebody’s lap Picture Quote #1

Most people hate cell phone use on trains; I love cell phone use on trains. What do you want to do, read that report on your lap, or hear about your neighbour’s worst date ever? Picture Quote #1

The sun is shining, mynah birds are chattering, palm trees are swaying, so what. I’m in the hospital and I’m healthy. My heart is beating as it should. My brain is firing off messages that are loud and clear. My wife is on the upright hospital bed, positioned the way people sleep on airplanes, her body stiff, head cocked to the side. Her hands on her lap Picture Quote #1

F1 teams need a driver who will consistently set lap times that are 100 percent on the edge Picture Quote #1

The primary duty of an exception handler is to get the error out of the lap of the programmer and into the surprised face of the user. Provided you keep this cardinal rule in mind, you can’t go far wrong Picture Quote #1

Modeling was something that fell into my lap. It was fun to travel and make money, but it always seemed like a hobby Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a problem with delegation. I love to delegate. I am either lazy enough, or busy enough, or trusting enough, or congenial enough, that the notion leaving tasks in someone else’s lap doesn’t just sound wise to me, it sounds attractive Picture Quote #1

Sometimes in life, things just fall in to my lap. I’m very blessed that way Picture Quote #1

Nothing falls into a man’s lap from heaven. It is from labour that life grows Picture Quote #1
