Sinking Quotes

I love dipping into dreams and sinuously sinking into sleep. It's the freest place to be. The possibilities are limitless and my imagination becomes a weightless wonder Picture Quote #1

So there existed fathers who dealt in the present, who didn't drag ancient history around like a ball and chain. So there were men who were not neck deep and sinking in the quagmire of the past Picture Quote #1

She had wandered so far from the rules of propriety that she was making up new ones just to keep from sinking into the abyss Picture Quote #1

Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine Picture Quote #1

Though sinking in decrepit age, he prematurely falls whose memory records no benefit conferred on him by man. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously Picture Quote #1

I’d much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they’re the first to be rescued off sinking ships Picture Quote #1

I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia, where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track. So I just wrote it out and, you know, said it Picture Quote #1

It sounds mercenary and it smacks of rats leaving the sinking ship. But get real, when everyone is bailing out, you don’t want to be the last man standing Picture Quote #1

His style has the desperate jauntiness of an orchestra fiddling away for dear life on a sinking ship Picture Quote #1

No organism can afford to be conscious of matters with which it could deal at unconscious levels. Broadly, we can afford to sink those sorts of knowledge which continue to be true regardless of changes in the environment, but we must maintain in an accessible place all those controls of behavior which must be modified for every instance. The economics of the system, in fact, pushes organisms toward sinking into the unconscious those generalities of relationship which remain permanently true and toward keeping within the conscious the pragmatic of particular instances Picture Quote #1

Only one thing bothered me: at this very moment, as they say, of inexplicable bliss there would be a sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach and my abdomen would be assailed by a melancholy, cold shivering. In the end I couldn’t abide such happiness and ran away Picture Quote #1

For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it Picture Quote #1

Just because you have stopped sinking doesn’t mean you’re not still underwater Picture Quote #1

Years have passed and how I am anxiously watching the twilight of my childhood, quietly sinking, never to rise again Picture Quote #1

How do men act on a sinking ship? Do they hold each other? Do they pass around the whisky? Do they cry? Picture Quote #1

I chased money, pretended to be someone else to get it. It got easier the longer I did it... but that’s the trap, see? When the deadness gets easier, you know you’re sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself Picture Quote #1

To say, my fate is not tied to your fate, is like saying your end of the boat is sinking Picture Quote #1

Ah come on, these streams of light are not so subtle. All along the ditch, signs of life in sinking puddles! Picture Quote #1

Simplifying our lives does not mean sinking into idleness, but on the contrary, getting rid of the most subtle aspect of laziness: the one which makes us take on thousands of less important activities Picture Quote #1

The law of floatation was not discovered by contemplating the sinking of things, but by contemplating the floating of things which floated naturally, and then intelligently asking why they did so Picture Quote #1

Trapped. Sinking. Can’t be myself. Made into what other people expect. Is that everyone’s fate? Were the great individualists the products of their friends who wanted a great individualist as a friend? Picture Quote #1

Often, we melt into our ecstasies as though they were jams, as though we were sinking into syrupy bowls of gooseberries, of raspberries, of bilberries Picture Quote #1

I experienced that sinking feeling you get when you know you have conned yourself into doing something difficult and there’s no going back Picture Quote #1

That’s what courage is. Taking your disappointments and your failures, your guilt and your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted, and sinking them in the past. Starting again. Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your head held high. Times change. It’s those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to suit, that prosper Picture Quote #1

The art of writing fiction is to sail as dangerously close to the truth as possible without sinking the ship Picture Quote #1

You run and you run to catch up to the sun but it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind you again Picture Quote #1

Basically, financial reporting is this sinking hole at the centre of journalism. You start by swimming around it until finally, reluctantly, you can’t fight the pull anymore and you get sucked down the drain into the biz pages Picture Quote #1

Weight loss does not make people happy. Or peaceful. Being thin does not address the emptiness that has no shape or weight or name. Even a wildly successful diet is a colossal failure because inside the new body is the same sinking heart Picture Quote #1

The sea is selective, slow at recognition of effort and aptitude but fast in the sinking of the unfit Picture Quote #1

Don’t you see all the people sinking down? Don’t you care? Are you gonna let them drown? Picture Quote #1
