A lost but happy dream may shed its light upon our waking hours, and the whole day may be infected with the gloom of a dreary or sorrowful one; yet of neither may we be able to recover a trace.
I had no doubts I could go to the pole. I may not be as strong, but I make up for physical strength in other areas, like steadiness and not panicking under stress.
I think I may have failed at a lot of things, but the one thing I can say, and that I'm proud of, is that I am a good parent.
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas. Defeat may prove to have been the only path to resurrection, despite its ugliness. I take it for granted that to create a tree I condemn a seed to rot. If the first act of resistance comes too late it is...
However, do you know what? I am convinced that fellows like me who live in dark cellars must be kept under restraint. They may be able to live in their dark cellars for forty years and never open their mouths, but the moment they get into the light o...
And for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream. But things that many see may have no taste or moment in them at all, and things that are shown only to one may be spears a...
Be the Rain. I am the rain. The mountain may spit fire at the sky. . . Still the rain will fall. The mountain may quake at the world. . . Still the rain will fall. The mountain will be silent and brooding. . . Still the rain will fall. The mountain w...
Margaret Bourke-White: There's a sadness in him. Mirabehn: He thinks he's failed. Margaret Bourke-White: Why? My God, if anything's proved him right, it's what's happened these last few months. Mirabehn: I may be blinded by my love for him... but I t...
[last lines] Frodo: Mordor... I hope the others find a safer road. Sam: Strider'll look after them. Frodo: I don't suppose we'll ever see them again. Sam: We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may. Frodo: Sam... I'm glad you're with me.
Inigo Montoya: Where is this Count Rugen now, so I may kill him? Fezzik: He's in the castle with the prince. But the castle gate is guarded by thirty men. Inigo Montoya: [angrily kicks a stool, then calms down] How may do you think you could handle? ...
OEDIPUS: Upon the murderer I invoke this curse- whether he is one man and all unknown, or one of many- may he wear out his life in misery to miserable doom! If with my knowledge he lives at my hearth I pray that I myself may feel my curse. On you I l...
Jīvaka, I say that there are three instances in which meat should not be eaten: when it is seen, heard, or suspected [that the living being has been slaughtered for oneself]. I say that meat should not be eaten in these three instances. I say that t...
To each is given its moment in the blaze, its spark to be surrendered to another when it is sent, so that the blaze may go on. None may deny its spark to the general blaze and live forever. Each is sent to another someday. You are sent; you are on yo...
I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And a...
I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must conf...
To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world.
While photographs may not lie, liars may photograph.
Silence and tact may or may not be the same thing.
If you have sixty seconds worth of distance...run!
We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.
Now it's on to May, and you know about me and May.
