Was Quotes

One was there who left all his friends behind; who going inland ever more and more, and being left quite alone, at last did find a lonely valley sheltered from the wind, wherein, amidst an ancient cypress wood, a long-deserted ruined castle stood Picture Quote #1

Drowsy I lie, no folk at my command, who once was called the lady of the land; who might have bought a kingdom with a kiss, yea, half the world with such a sight as this Picture Quote #1

And what do ye say then? - that spring long departed has brought forth no child to the softness and showers; - that we slept and we dreamed through the summer of flowers; we dreamed of the winter, and waking dead-hearted found winter upon us and waste of dull hours Picture Quote #1

Enough of satire; in less hardened times great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes. I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave, who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave; whose souls have felt more terrible alarms from her one line, than from a world in arms Picture Quote #1

Nay, spring was o'er-happy and knew not the reason, and summer dreamed sadly, for she thought all was ended in her fulness of wealth that might not be amended; but this is the harvest and the garnering season, and the leaf and the blossom in the ripe fruit are blended Picture Quote #1

People have passed through a very dark tunnel at the end of which there was a light of freedom. Unexpectedly they passed through the prison gates and found themselves in a square. They are now free and they don't know where to go Picture Quote #1

It sprang without sowing, it grew without heeding, ye knew not its name and ye knew not its measure, ye noted it not mid your hope and your pleasure; there was pain in its blossom, despair in its seeding, but daylong your bosom now nurseth its treasure Picture Quote #1

Love is enough: through the trouble and tangle from yesterday's dawning to yesterday's night I sought through the vales where the prisoned winds wrangle, till, wearied and bleeding, at end of the light I met him, and we wrestled, and great was my might Picture Quote #1

And the shadow of the night and not love was departed; I was sore, I was weary, yet love lived to seek; so I scaled the dark mountains, and wandered sad-hearted over wearier wastes, where e'en sunlight was bleak, with no rest of the night for my soul waxen weak Picture Quote #1

He made little, too little of sacraments and priests, because God was so intensely real to him. What should he do with lenses who stood thus full in the torrent of the sunshine Picture Quote #1

Love is enough: while ye deemed him a-sleeping, there were signs of his coming and sounds of his feet; his touch it was that would bring you to weeping, when the summer was deepest and music most sweet Picture Quote #1

She was the people's princess and that is how she will stay, how she will remain in our hearts and our memories forever Picture Quote #1

I have said as much as that the aim of art was to destroy the curse of labour by making work the pleasurable satisfaction of our impulse towards energy, and giving to that energy hope of producing something worth its exercise Picture Quote #1

Yes, I did have to struggle very hard to get this through, but the reason I did it was because I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn't take this on myself... Just because I thought, 'let's give myself a really hard time for a couple of years! Picture Quote #1

There were people who got me very involved in politics. But then there was also a book. It was a trilogy, a biography of Trotsky by Isaac Deutscher, which made a very deep impression on me and gave me a love of political biography for the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside Picture Quote #1

Everyone says he's sincere, but everyone isn't sincere. If everyone was sincere who says he's sincere there wouldn't be half so many insincere ones in the world and there would be lots, lots, lots more really sincere ones! Picture Quote #1

Newton's great generalization, which he called the third law of motion, was that action and reaction are always equal to each other; and that law has been one of the most pregnant of all truths about the mystery of force; - one of the brightest windows through which modern eyes have looked into the world of nature Picture Quote #1

Devotion is like the candle which Michael Angelo used to take in his pasteboard cap, so as not to throw his shadow upon the work in which he was engaged Picture Quote #1

Dreadful will be the day when the world becomes contented, when one great universal satisfaction spreads itself over the world. Sad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds that he is doing, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger which he knows that he was meant and made to do because he is a child of God Picture Quote #1

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings? Picture Quote #1

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things Picture Quote #1

What came from the Earth returns back to the Earth, and the spirit that was sent from heaven, again carried back, is received into the temple of heaven Picture Quote #1

He kissed her and promised. Such beautiful lips! Man's usual fate, - he was lost upon the coral reefs Picture Quote #1

When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous Picture Quote #1

A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself Picture Quote #1

A severe though not unfriendly critic of our institutions said that the cure for admiring the House of Lords was to go and look at it Picture Quote #1

Mrs. Stone found herself thinking that surely such beauty was a world of its own whose anarchy had a sort of godly license Picture Quote #1

There was scarcely a woman alive, it seemed, who could resist the urge to haul men down onto beds, car seats, kitchen floors, dining-room tables, park grass, parlor sofas, or packing crates, entwine warm thighs around them, and pant in ecstasy Picture Quote #1

Television was the most revolutionary event of the century. Its importance was in a class with the discovery of gunpowder and the invention of the printing press, which changed the human condition for centuries afterward Picture Quote #1
