Tunnels Quotes

People themselves are full of tunnels: winding, dark spaces and caverns; impossible to know all the places inside of them. Impossible even to imagine Picture Quote #1

Washington, D.C., has everything that Rome, Paris and London have in the way of great architecture - great power bases. Washington has obelisks and pyramids and underground tunnels and great art and a whole shadow world that we really don’t see Picture Quote #1

In the course of writing ‘First Light,’ I climbed all over and through the Hale Telescope, where I found rooms, stairways, tunnels, and abandoned machines leaking oil. My notebooks show tooth-marks where I gripped them with my teeth while climbing around inside the telescope, and the notebooks are stained with Flying Horse telescope oil Picture Quote #1

Republican candidate Ben Carson told reporters he thinks American prisons might be too comfortable. As opposed to Mexican prisons that have personal showers with $5 million escape tunnels Picture Quote #1

I started when I was 15 years old. And at that time, I was not thinking about changing the world, I was doing graffiti - writing my name everywhere, using the city as a canvas. I was going in the tunnels of Paris, on the rooftops with my friends. Each trip was an excursion, was an adventure Picture Quote #1

In certain areas I don’t function well and in other areas I function very well. I’m very good professionally. I have good discipline, I’m able to write every day and do films and not go six times over the budget. I mean I’m a coherent person, but I also don’t like to go through tunnels when I travel. I’m claustrophobic Picture Quote #1

I’m not digging tunnels, I’m not building buildings. My work is not hard, my work is refreshing, my work is pleasant. The more the better. Lying around and getting no job is debilitating Picture Quote #1

Urban legend has it that Area 51 is connected by underground tunnels and trains to other secret facilities around the country Picture Quote #1

I need more than anything right now what is, of course, most impossible, someone to love me, to be with me at night when I wake up in shuddering horror and fear of the cement tunnels leading down to the shock room, to comfort me with an assurance that no psychiatrist can quite manage to convey Picture Quote #1

A large number of people to begin crawling through those tunnels and caves looking for the bad folks Picture Quote #1

The tunnels may be long, and twisted, and dark; but you are supposed to go through them Picture Quote #1

But the long tunnels of art through which I walked in Rome that day had no ragged edges, cowardly colors, or shades of pastel that didn't know what to do with themselves. The wisdom, perfection, and beauty of the colors and forms I passed were more than enough, in their collectivity, to hint at the principles which govern the hereafter, whatever that may be. Indeed, even a detail of one painting can offer solid direction in this regard if one knows how to look Picture Quote #1

I need him to know that I came for him. I need him to know that somehow, at some point in the tunnels, I began to love him Picture Quote #1

Underground. Which I hate. Like mines and tunnels and 13. Underground, where I dread dying, which is stupid because even if I die aboveground, the next thing they’ll do is bury me underground anyway Picture Quote #1

Things which sound like platitudes become vital, living and powerful when you have to learn them in dark tunnels Picture Quote #1

Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf Picture Quote #1

As you get older, you accept that there are some tunnels that don’t have any light in them, but you go down them anyway Picture Quote #1

We fret about words, we writers. Words mean. Words point. They are arrows. Arrows stuck in the rough hide of reality. And the more portentous, more general the word, the more they can also resemble rooms or tunnels. They can expand, or cave in. They can come to be filled with a bad smell. They will often remind us of other rooms, where we’d rather dwell or where we think we are already living. They can be spaces we lose the art or the wisdom of inhabiting. And eventually those volumes of mental intention we no longer know how to inhabit will be abandoned, boarded up, closed down Picture Quote #1

I was cutting and threading pipe in the tunnels to get water into the shower rooms for athletics. I was repairing old metal windows, fixing cement walls where rain was coming through, and drying out the maple gym floors in hopes of removing the warping Picture Quote #1

Down the mine I dreamed of cricket; I bowled imaginery balls in the dark; I sent the stumps spinning and heard them rattling in the tunnels. No mishap was going to stop me from bowling in the real game, especially this one Picture Quote #1

Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow Picture Quote #1

I'm going to end up like one of those old weirdos who lives in a network of tunnels burrowed through trash - yet I do not fear this Picture Quote #1
