...[T]here is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man's face and another behind his back. – Robert E LeeRate it:
A friend of mine once sent me a postcard with a picture of the entire planet Earth taken from space. On the back it said, Wish you were here. – Steven WrightRate it:
A lost person can never find the way back home if the person doesn't have one. – Clifford VillalonRate it:
A Soulution to Rubik's Cube is not a series of individual good guesses, each surmounting move has twelve to one odds against success. It is a series of perplexed movements or algorithms that form a coherent method of returning back to it's original (correct) state. – Tom ZeganRate it:
Ace The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior's college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it's like checkin' into an airport. And if you order room service, you're lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it's all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing – CasinoRate it:
All those people who left me in my adverse times will come back, but this time not as friends but as fans – Rafay BalochRate it:
All you umpires, back to the bleachers. Referees, hit the showers. It's my game. I pitch, I hit, I catch. I run the bases. At sunset, I've won or lost. At sunrise, I'm out again, giving it the old try. – Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 CodaRate it:
Almost as soon as Carolyn [Christov-Bakargiev] showed me these images of this atelier, I immediately understood that also, as a city, it was these Armenian fingers and hands that were creating these motifs on the building that were bearing silent witness to the trauma in the past 100 years. And it was almost like this architectural seance, where these citizens that were forcibly forgotten, were able to come back in. – Michael RakowitzRate it:
Another part of you is already an old man, looking back on things. Waiting at the door for his granddaughter who’s trying to make her way home for a visit. You are two people still separated by an ocean of time, part of you bursting to talk about what you saw, part of you longing to tell you what it means. – John KoenigRate it:
Anytime you start to imagine being the son or daughter of God, then now is a good time to go back to your family tree. Also check your chronological age. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
As a kid, I did want to be an old-timer, since they were the ones with the big stories and the cool clothes. I wanted to go there. Now, I guess I want to bring that with me and go back in time. – Tom WaitsRate it:
As citizens we have to be more thoughtful and more educated and more informed. I turn on the TV and I see these grown people screaming at each other, and I think, well, if we don't get our civility back, we're in trouble. – Emmylou HarrisRate it:
Away back in that time-in 1492-there was a man by the name of Columbus came from across the great ocean, and he discovered the country for the white man. . . What did he find when he first arrived here Did he find a white man standing on the continent then . . . I stood here first, and Columbus first discovered me. – Chitto HarjoRate it:
Back in the 1960s, I saw Peter, Paul and Mary. I was at that age, about 14, and I was mesmerized. – Lucinda WilliamsRate it:
But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating so I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane. – John GreenRate it:
By recurrently standing back, assessing the daily events, taking time to correct the range of vision and evaluating what is authentic in life, we create space for reflection and spiritual regeneration. The construction of momentous and mindful intermissions allows us to update our identity and readjust our personality. ( "Svp "Arrêt sur image" ) – Erik PevernagieRate it:
Dawson Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did it the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place. Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place. – Dazed and ConfusedRate it:
Dear loved papa, I so much want to see you. I have just ended my lesson of arithmetic, I think that I succeeded well. We go to school of nurses, I am very happy there. Today it is raining and it is very humid. I am in Tatiana’s room with Olga and Tatiana. When you will see Boba, say to him that my hands itch me. I try to breed my own livestock of poetry of earth. Olga says that I smell poor, but it is not true. When you will come back, I shall wash myself in your tub. I hope that you did not forget the history which I told you during our promenade. I am sitting down and scratch my nose with the left hand. Olga wanted to slap me for it, but I avoided the hand. Be happy and in good health. I think extremely of you and embrace you tenderly. – Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of RussiaRate it:
Death smiles at us all, but all a man can do is smile back. – Marcus AureliusRate it:
Diplomacy is the art of recognizing all colors and knowing how to mix them up and bring them back as they were first. – Prof.Salam Al ShereidaRate it:
Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. – Publilius SyrusRate it:
Do not turn your back on those who have misjudged you for no good reasons. If you cannot love them back for being so cruel and mean, send them a note of gratitude to let them feel your expression of humility. – CLIFFORD VILLALONRate it:
Don't alienate strangers. Sit back and enjoy the entertainment. – Darren HustonRate it:
Don't ever slam a door, you might want to go back. – Don HeroldRate it:
