Famous Quotes & Sayings

Albert Camus

The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom charitable souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.

Victor Hugo

There are people who observe the rules of honor as we observe the stars: from a distance

Gretel Ehrlich

Between highway sounds I heard waves and thought how the curve of the coastline here had sheltered and nurtured live-born sharks, humans, and migrating whales. Here, at the edge of the continent, time and distance stopped; in the lull between sets of waves I could get a fresh start.

Graham Joyce

Twenty years is, after all, a long time. We are not the same people we were. Old friends, lovers, even family members: they are strangers who happen to wear a familiar face. We have no right to claim to know anyone after such a distance.

Gisele Bundchen

When I walk down the runway, my main goal is to not think about the people watching. The idea of all eyes on me would make me too uncomfortable. As I step on the runway, I take a deep breath, focus on a point in the distance, and go!

Harriet Lerner

If you pursue a distancer, he or she will distance more. Consider it a fundamental law of physics.

Harriet Lerner

The rush of sexual attraction can act like a drug and blur our capacity for clear thinking. This can lead us to distance ourselves from our friends or even abandon our life plan for someone who couldn't otherwise be relied on to water our plants and feed our cat.

Horace

Poetry is like painting: one piece takes your fancy if you stand close to it, another if you keep at some distance.

Gore Vidal

I like the distance that Europe gives me. Also if I stayed in America I'd be a full-time politician and have no time for writing, which is why I went to Europe to live in 1961.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

There is no land like England, Where'er the light of day be; There are no hearts like English hearts, Such hearts of oak as they be; There is no land like England, Where'er the light of day be: There are no men like Englishmen, So tall and bold as they be! And these will strike for England, And man and maid be free To foil and spoil the tyrant Beneath the greenwood tree.

Alex Campbell

Alex Ebert

Aldous Huxley

But then every man is ludicrous if you look at him from outside, without taking into account what’s going on in his heart and mind.

Albert Pike

The power of a free people is often at the disposal of a single and seemingly an unimportant individual; a terrible and truthful power; for such a people feel with one heart, and therefore can lift up their myriad arms for a single blow. And, again, there is no graduated scale for the measurement of the influences of different intellects upon the popular mind. Peter the Hermit held no office, yet what a work he wrought!

Albert Pike

True thoughts have duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the seed is enduring; if the seed endures, the energy endures; if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure. The spirit is thought; thought is the heart; the heart is the fire; the fire is the Elixir.

Albert Pike

Man is encompassed with a dome of incomprehensible wonders. In him and about him is that which should fill his life with majesty and sacredness. Something of sublimity and sanctity has thus flashed down from heaven into the heart of every one that lives.

Albert Einstein

The traditional religions worry me. Their long history proves that they have not understood the meaning of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill. If we want to save this world from unimaginable destruction we should concentrate not on the faraway God , but on the heart of the individual.

Dennis Prager

It is easier to take a position in the abstract than when it hits home.

Allen Tate

All the sea-gods are dead. You, Venus, come home To your salt maidenhead....

Allan Bloom

The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.

Ann Douglas

Home is an invention on which no one has yet improved.

Ann Landers

Bragging is not an attractive trait, but let's be honest. A man who catches a big fish doesn't go home through an alley.

Ann Landers

Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley.

Andriy Shevchenko

We are playing at home, with full stadiums and passionate fans. It will be very special moment for me.

Andrea Jung

You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that.
