Tattered Quotes

This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge Picture Quote #1

Wisdom oft lurks beneath a tattered coat Picture Quote #1

Oh, my tattered rags are caught on your coffee table Picture Quote #1

An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick Picture Quote #1

Through tattered clothes, small vices do appear. Robes and furred gowns hide all Picture Quote #1

Youth is a lifestyle; it’s not a blessing from God. If we treat our bodies as if they are not the most precious things we possess, then obviously we will show wear and tear. We’re like a good pair of jeans. If we take care of them, they’ll remain classic forever, but if we batter and abuse them they’ll look like tattered old rags Picture Quote #1

Writing an opera and premiering in England, you could say I was going right into the eye of the storm and I came out successfully. A little tattered and bruised, but so what, I made it Picture Quote #1

Tacked above my desk are photos of artists I admire - Hopper, Sargent, Twain - and postcards from beloved bookstores where I’ve spent all my time and money - Tattered Cover, Elliot Bay, Harvard Bookstore Picture Quote #1

An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick, unless soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing for every tatter in its mortal dress Picture Quote #1

I peered deeper and found my soul. A little tattered and with some holes, but there all the same. It had always been there, I realized with shock Picture Quote #1

A collection of bad love songs, tattered from overuse, has to touch us like a cemetery or a village. So what if the houses have no style, if the graves are vanishing under tasteless ornaments and inscriptions? Before an imagination sympathetic and respectful enough to conceal momentarily its aesthetic disdain, that dust may release a flock of souls, their beaks holding the still verdant dreams that gave them an inkling of the next world and let them rejoice or weep in this world Picture Quote #1

Meanwhile it’s got stormy, the tattered fog even thicker, chasing across my path. Three people are sitting in a glassy tourist cafe between clouds and clouds, protected by glass from all sides. Since I don’t see any waiters, it crosses my mind that corpses have been sitting there for weeks, statuesque. All this time the cafe has been unattended, for sure. Just how long have they been sitting here, petrified like this? Picture Quote #1

If, in my retirement to the humble station of a private citizen, I am accompanied with the esteem and approbation of my fellow citizens, trophies obtained by the bloodstained steel, or the tattered flags of the tented field, will never be envied. The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government Picture Quote #1

I tattered their wings and tore off their legs, joint by joint, watched them crawl in circles, like little lost infants, untill they decide to die Picture Quote #1

If I should cast off this tattered coat, and go free into the mighty sky; if I should find nothing there But a vast blue, echoless, ignorant - what then? Picture Quote #1

Some brave chrysanthemums still stood in the country gardens, but they looked like bedraggled survivors of a battle, barely able to hold their tattered banners upright. October was at the gates and autumn was in full retreat Picture Quote #1

That’s how myths are born. Out of our carelessness, out of our tattered nerves, out of jokes that go wrong and flashy gestures Picture Quote #1

There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him.... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes Picture Quote #1

I am my heart’s undertaker. Daily I go and retrieve its tattered remains, place them delicately into its little coffin, and bury it in the depths of my memory, only to have to do it all again tomorrow Picture Quote #1

Now everything was changed. She walked about with cautious, anxious steps, staring constantly at the ground, on the lookout for things that crept and crawled. Bushes were dangerous, and so were sea grass and rain water. There were little animals everywhere. They could turn up between the covers of a book, flattened and dead, for the fact is that creeping animals, tattered animals, and dead animals are with us all our lives, from beginning to end. Grandmother tried to discuss this with her, to no avail. Irrational terror is so hard to deal with Picture Quote #1

Earth and sea merged, the sea tossed itself in the air in a fantastic dance, into the shapes of men and horses and tattered banners. I stood in the lee of an overhanging rock and thought of many things Picture Quote #1

Imagine a survivor of a failed civilization with only a tattered book on aromatherapy for guidance in arresting a cholera epidemic. Yet, such a book would more likely be found amid the debris than a comprehensible medical text Picture Quote #1

She should think about her own soul, what she was going to do with this funky tattered pond dank item. Dark and stained, a ruined thing Picture Quote #1

Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks; Arm it in rags, a pygmy's straw does pierce it Picture Quote #1

These bits speak history's tattered tale. How we cling to scraps, shards, sea glass - because we cannot stay Picture Quote #1

From the tattered edges of an exhausted mind, inspiration blooms... mental filters disintegrate and walls crumble, as the ocean of creativity washes over everything Picture Quote #1
