That would have destroyed the perfect beauty which was sport  (Was Quotes) But I was used to finding something deadly in things that attracted me; there was always something deadly lurking in anything I wanted, anything I loved  (Was Quotes) But something held me back. Perhaps I was stopped by that level of feeling, deeper than thought, which contains the truth  (Was Quotes) As I said, this was my sarcastic summer. It was only long after that I recognized sarcasm as the protest of people who are weak  (Was Quotes) His whole future seemed suddenly to be unrolled before him; and passing down its endless emptiness he saw the dwindling figure of a man to whom nothing was ever to happen  (Was Quotes) It was too late for happiness - but not too late to be helped by the thought of what I had missed. That is all I haved lived on - don't take it from me now  (Was Quotes) What deceived me was my own happiness; for peace is indivisible, and the surrounding world confusion found no reflection inside me  (Was Quotes) Perhaps, after all, Susy reflected, it was the world she was meant for, since the other, the brief Paradise of her dreams, had already shut its golden doors upon her  (Was Quotes) Because, unfamiliar with the absence of fear and what that was like, I have not been able to identify its presence  (Was Quotes) What Lily craved was the darkness made by enfolding arms, the silence which is not solitude, but compassion holding its breath  (Was Quotes) She was so evidently the victim of the civilization which had produced her, that the links of her bracelet seemed like manacles chaining her to her fate  (Was Quotes) In reality they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs  (Was Quotes) It was easy enough to despise the world, but decidedly difficult to find any other habitable region  (Was Quotes) I was just a screw or cog in the great machine I called life, and when I dropped out of it I found I was of no use anywhere else  (Was Quotes) Most timidities have such secret compensations and Miss Bart was discerning enough to know that the inner vanity is generally in proportion to the outer self depreciation  (Was Quotes) Her mind was an hotel where facts came and went like transient lodgers, without leaving their address behind, and frequently without paying for their board  (Was Quotes) It is beautiful in a picture to wash the disciples' feet; but the sands of the real desert have no luster in them to compensate for the servile nature of the occupation  (Was Quotes) One of the surprises of her unoccupied state was the discovery that time, when it is left to itself and no definite demands are made on it, cannot be trusted to move at any recognized pace  (Was Quotes) Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them  (Was Quotes) He had known the love that is fed on caresses and feeds them; but this passion that was closer than his bones was not to be superficially satisfied  (Was Quotes) Her whole being dilated in an atmosphere of luxury. It was the background she required, the only climate she could breathe in  (Was Quotes)
