Wherefrom Quotes

What I really wanted to know, though, was what it was like to be a geisha? Where do you sleep? What do you eat? How do you have your hair done? Picture Quote #1

Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every conceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing Picture Quote #1

Those of us with water in our personalities don't pick where we'll flow to. All we can do is flow where the landscape of our lives carries us Picture Quote #1

Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; where little fear grows great, great love grows there Picture Quote #1

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart Picture Quote #1

There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the Earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration Picture Quote #1

Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you're forced back on your own imagination Picture Quote #1

Show me a mistress that is passing fair, what doth her beauty serve but as a note where I may read who pass'd that passing fair? Picture Quote #1

Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, and where care lodges, sleep will never lie; but where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign Picture Quote #1

My love is strengthen'd, though more weak in seeming; I love not less, though less the show appear: That love is merchandised whose rich esteeming the owner's tongue doth publish every where Picture Quote #1

I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will Picture Quote #1

That time of year thou may'st in me behold, when yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold, bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang Picture Quote #1

The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot - hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism Picture Quote #1

You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle Picture Quote #1

Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver. You are fed, yet hunger gnaws you. You have been loved, but your yearning wanders in new fields. And to prod all these there's time, the Bastard Time Picture Quote #1

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss! Picture Quote #1

How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen! What old December's bareness everywhere! Picture Quote #1

I usually write away from home, in coffee shops, on trains, on planes, in friends' houses. I like places where there's stuff going on that you can lift your eyes, see something interesting, overhear a conversation Picture Quote #1

Oft expectation fails, and most oft where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest; and despair most sits Picture Quote #1

Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great Picture Quote #1

O Romeo, romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet Picture Quote #1

No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on Earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe Picture Quote #1

Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live Picture Quote #1

I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene Picture Quote #1

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them Picture Quote #1

Why bastard? Wherefore base? When my dimensions are as well compact, my mind as generous and my shape as true As honest madam's issue? Picture Quote #1

My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world Picture Quote #1

I moved to New York City for my health. I'm paranoid and New York was the only place where my fears were justified Picture Quote #1
