Text Quotes
There is always a pleasure in unravelling a mystery, in catching at the gossamer clue which will guide to certainty  (Vell Quotes) Nothing is more striking to an European traveller in the United States than the absence of what we term the Government, or the Administration  (Vell Quotes) I was a normal eighteen year old: shuttered, self-conscious, untravelled and sneering; violently educated, socially crass, emotionally blurting  (Vell Quotes) Travelling, one accepts everything; indignation stays at home. One looks, one listens, one is roused to enthusiasm by the most dreadful things because they are new. Good travellers are heartless  (Vell Quotes) It is right to prefer our own country to all others, because we are children and citizens before we can be travellers or philosophers  (Vell Quotes) The traveller must be somebody and come from somewhere, so that his definite character and moral traditions may supply an organ and a point of comparison for his observations  (Vell Quotes) There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in travelling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place  (Vell Quotes) Yes, I drank some of the ancient blood and it changed me. If I'm right... If the vellum is right, the world is dead. Everyone! But I was brought back to life by the blood  (Vell Quotes) Because this is the other thing about immigrants ('fugees, émigrés, travellers): they cannot escape their history any more than you yourself can lose your shadow  (Vell Quotes) One forgot, one forgot. What hold had one on the past? The present moment was a little travelling in darkness  (Vell Quotes) It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling  (Vell Quotes) Speaking of New York as a traveller I have two faults to find with it. In the first place there is nothing to see; and in the second place there is no mode of getting about to see anything  (Vell Quotes) The secrets of the world are very marvellous, but they are not themselves half so wonderful as the way in which they become known to the world  (Vell Quotes) Cruelty to punctuation is quite unlegislated: you can get away with pulling the legs off semicolons; shrivelling question marks on the garden path under a powerful magnifying glass; you name it  (Vell Quotes) No wonder Gran had managed to run a brewery with such success for the past twenty - two years. She was a Machiavelli in skirts  (Vell Quotes) The undiscover'd country from whose bourn no traveller returns, puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of?  (Vell Quotes) Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care, the death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast  (Vell Quotes) Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure  (Vell Quotes) Ay, now am I in Arden; the more fool I: when I was at home, I was in a better place: but travellers must be content  (Vell Quotes) I remember at the age of five travelling on a trolley car with my mother past a group of women on a picket line at a textile plant, seeing them being viciously beaten by security people. So that kind of thing stayed with me  (Vell Quotes) Fairies, black, grey, green, and white, you moonshine revellers, and shades of night, you orphan heirs of fixed destiny, attend your office and your quality  (Vell Quotes) The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller  (Vell Quotes) This day hath made much work for tears in many a English mother, whose sons lie scatter'd on the bleeding ground; many a widow's husband grovelling lies, coldly embracing the discolor'd Earth  (Vell Quotes) I must to the barber's, monsieur; for methinks I am marvellous hairy about the face, and I am such a tender ass, if my hair do but tickle me, I must scratch  (Vell Quotes) The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day. Now spurs the lated traveller apace to gain the timely inn, and near approaches the subject of our watch  (Vell Quotes) We travellers are in very hard circumstances. If we say nothing but what has been said before us, we are dull and have observed nothing. If we tell anything new, we are laughed at as fabulous and romantic  (Vell Quotes) Universal plodding prisons up the nimble spirits in the arteries; as motion, and long during action tires the sinewy vigor of the traveller  (Vell Quotes) Why, universal plodding poisons up the nimble spirits in the arteries, as motion and long - during action tires the sinewy vigor of the traveller  (Vell Quotes) I saw the only rational method of art criticism I have ever come across... Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best. The mortality among pianists in that place is marvellous  (Vell Quotes) Strong, generous, and confident, she has nobly served mankind. Beware how you trifle with your marvellous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin  (Vell Quotes)
