She went as through a forest
the columns were furrowed like ancient trees, and in through the forest flowed the light, many-hued and clear as song, from the pictured windows. High up above her, beasts and men sported among the stone leafage, and angels played
and yet far, dizzily far higher, the vaulting soared, lifting the church towards God. In a hall that lay to one side, worship was being held at an altar. Kristin sank down on her knees by a pillar. The singing cut into her like a too strong light. Now she saw how low she lay in the dust ... Pater noster. Credo in unum Deum. Ave Maria, gratia plena. ~ Sigrid Undset
Ave Maria quotes by Sigrid Undset
Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they won't know what you're up to
it's true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images
and when you grow old as grow old you must
they won't hate you ~ Frank O'Hara
Ave Maria quotes by Frank O'Hara
I order that my funeral ceremonies be extremely modest, and that they take place at dawn or at the evening Ave Maria, without song or music. ~ Giuseppe Verdi
Ave Maria quotes by Giuseppe Verdi
Cole turned and went down the stairs to wait for the inevitable. Soon Blake would descend the stairs and into madness.
But Blake had only taken his favorite parts from Cole's little speech. Livia had tried to find him. Livia needed him to keep her safe. Blake turned to face the organ. The keys had danced mockingly like disjointed puzzle pieces before, but now…Now they waited obediently. His hands knew them. His hands could sweep them together and create.
So he did.
He leapt right over the Ave Maria as if Livia held his hand to help him jump.
No more Ave Maria.
His hands flew over the organ, composing, painting, revealing all that was within him. Blake would show Livia all he had inside for her. If she was looking for him, she didn't hate him. If she was looking for him, he was allowed to love her.
Even if Cole was right and Blake didn't have the common sense to be with her, he could watch her, like a knight and his queen. He could protect her so she never faced anyone like Dentist again.
Blake was allowed to love Livia. And he did.
Blake loves Livia. ~ Debra Anastasia
Ave Maria quotes by Debra Anastasia
Ave Maria

Ave Maria! Maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden's pleading
from these rocks, stark and wild,
my prayer shall be wafted to thee.
we shall sleep safely till morning,
though men be ever so cruel.
o Maiden, see a maiden's distress,
O Mother, hear a suppliant child.

Ave Maria, undefiled!
When we upon this rock lie down
to slumber, and they protection covers us,
The hard stone will seem soft to us.
If Though smilest, the scent of roses will float
Through this murky cavern,
O Mother, hear a child's petition,
O maiden, 'tis a maid that calls!

Ave Maria, Maiden pure,
the demons of the earth and air,
drien forth by thy gracious glance
cannot stay here with us.
we will camly bow to fate
Since they holy comfort hovers over us;
Mayest though be favourably inclined to the maiden,
To the child that pleads for her father! ~ Barbara Bonney
Ave Maria quotes by Barbara Bonney
Ave Maria
BY FRANK O'HARA
Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they won't know what you're up to
it's true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images
and when you grow old as grow old you must
they won't hate you
they won't criticize you they won't know
they'll be in some glamorous country
they first saw on a Saturday afternoon or playing hookey

they may even be grateful to you
for their first sexual experience
which only cost you a quarter
and didn't upset the peaceful home
they will know where candy bars come from
and gratuitous bags of popcorn
as gratuitous as leaving the movie before it's over
with a pleasant stranger whose apartment is in the Heaven on Earth Bldg
near the Williamsburg Bridge
oh mothers you will have made the little tykes
so happy because if nobody does pick them up in the movies
they won't know the difference
and if somebody does it'll be sheer gravy
and they'll have been truly entertained either way
instead of hanging around the yard
or up in their room
hating you
prematurely since you won't have done anything horribly mean yet
except keeping them from the darker joys
it's unforgivable the latter
so don't blame me if you won't take this advice
and ~ Frank O'Hara
Ave Maria quotes by Frank O'Hara
The soothing vocals of "Ave Maria" serenaded from the small speaker, and Austin looked at me and shrugged in embarrassment. "It makes her smile," was all he said. I lost a piece of my heart to him right then. ~ Tillie Cole
Ave Maria quotes by Tillie Cole
By the time he was done with the deer it had been dark three hours and his bad leg was singing 'Ave Maria'. ~ Stephen King
Ave Maria quotes by Stephen King
The youngest member of this ageing community was ex-variety artiste, Patrick L. Balls. Fifty-nine now, he spent out his remaining years pulling a rope lift and bottling fruit. He had once whistled Ave Maria for Queen Victoria. She wasn't present at the time, but nevertheless that's who he was whistling it for. ~ Spike Milligan
Ave Maria quotes by Spike Milligan
I love not serious documentaries, too, but I love seeing people at their wits' end, I guess. ~ Maria Thayer
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Thayer
Mom, you know what? I just realized you have a knack for making people disappear. [Lella's son catches on!] ~ Maria Grazia Swan
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Grazia Swan
We'll make our voices heard loud and clear on the importance of cost-based power. ~ Maria Cantwell
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Cantwell
Small wonder, then, that an institution like the Library found space to take root. It was presented as a good cause, created in the hope of encouraging people to be more open with one another. Its creators were little more than boys: perky, smiling youngsters, well groomed and well dressed, without a trace of facial hair. They looked designed to win people's trust. And who wouldn't trust a cheerful, articulate young man who came calling at your door, inviting you to chat with him about this and that, about the meaning of life, about all the hunger and suffering in the world? It's true; it was whispered that dark forces acted behind them, national and international groups hungry for vengeance after certain recent defeats. But who could believe such things in front of polite young lads who always looked you in the eyes and shook your hand. ~ Giorgio De Maria
Ave Maria quotes by Giorgio De Maria
You are embarrassed about your blood, its redness, the way it is just coming out of you with no concern for anyone's feelings. You are (…) embarrassed to be alive. ~ Carmen Maria Machado
Ave Maria quotes by Carmen Maria Machado
I have received more fulfillment and adulation than I would ever know what to do with in terms of show business. ~ Maria Bamford
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Bamford
Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss. ~ Maria Sharapova
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Sharapova
Someday, emerging at last from the violent insight,
let me sing out jubilation and praise to assenting angels.
Let not even one of the clearly-struck hammers of my heart
fail to sound because of a slack, a doubtful,
or a broken string. Let my joyfully streaming face
make me more radiant; let my hidden weeping arise
and blossom. How dear you will be to me then, you nights
of anguish. Why didn't I kneel more deeply to accept you,
inconsolable sisters, and surrendering, lose myself
in your loosened hair. How we squander our hours of pain.
How we gaze beyond them into the bitter duration
to see if they have an end. Though they are really
our winter-enduring foliage, our dark evergreen,
our season in our inner year
, not only a season
in time
, but are place and settlement, foundation and soil
and home. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
When a person in a Russian prison decides to start speaking, to start speaking the truth - they start to reject oppression. ~ Maria Alyokhina
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Alyokhina
I think of you often, dear, and with such concentrated wishes that it really must help you in some way. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Vulgar, but not as vulgar as Louis Vuitton, thought Sherman. ~ Tom Wolfe
Ave Maria quotes by Tom Wolfe
I want my own will, and I want
simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action.
And in the silent, sometimes hardly moving times,
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know
secret things or else alone ...
I want to unfold.
I don't want to be folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
It's a primary law of this world that the old rule the young, that one must serve mine's time. It is no question of ability. Else what would become of the old dodderers who cling to power? ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Ave Maria quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
Be of good courage all is before you, and time passed in the difficult is never lost ... What is required of us is that we live the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
My fear didn't want to be left behind, so it came with me. ~ Maria Duenas
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Duenas
The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust. A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Because the task of a political leader is to do what he believes is better for his country. Sometimes the public opinion is in favor; sometimes the public opinion needs a little bit more time to understand things. ~ Jose Maria Aznar
Ave Maria quotes by Jose Maria Aznar
The development of language is part of the development of the personality, for words are the natural means of expressing thoughts and establishing understanding between people. ~ Maria Montessori
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Montessori
I think Channel One was very integral in my career. ~ Maria Menounos
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Menounos
I think you can lose yourself in any creative activity - if you enjoy your job or enjoy a task, you can lose yourself in that. ~ Maria Bamford
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Bamford
Your life will no doubt find its own paths. That they be good ones, and rich and expansive, that I wish for you more than I can say. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Blumenthal goes straight to the heart in these poems. Gorgeously wrought, surprising, true, wise, elegiac, they leave me with a sense of having listened to Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus. Who could ask for more? ~ Lynn Freed
Ave Maria quotes by Lynn Freed
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous. It is not knowledge, not content of feeling ... it is not duty and not renunciation, it is not restriction: but in the infinite extent of the universe it is a direction of the heart. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Success. I turned back to my sandwich, only to find that it wasn't there anymore. Maybe because it had been hijacked.
"Give me that!" I told the vamp, who was holding it firmly against his chest, a determined look on his face.
"What ees zat?" he demanded, eyeing my prize.
"Cheese." I held it up.
"Zat ees not cheese."
"How do you know?"
"Eet is orange."
"A lot of cheese is orange."
"Non! No cheese ees that color. Cheese comes from zee milk. Zee milk, eet ees white. When 'ave you seen milk that looks like zat?"
I held up the square of little slices and pointed at the bold-faced label. "Processed American Cheese."
He snatched the package, without letting go of his hostage. And eyed it warily. "Eet says 'cheese food.'" He looked up, obviously perplexed. "What ees thees? Zee cheese, it does not eat. ~ Karen Chance
Ave Maria quotes by Karen Chance
Such things are real problems, they are serious matters to us, they cannot be otherwise. Here, on the borders of death, life follows an amazingly simply course, it is limited to what is most necessary, all else lies buried in gloomy sleep; - in that besides our primitiveness and our survival. Were we more subtly differentiated we must long since have gone mad, have deserted, or have fallen. As in a polar expedition, every expression of life must serve only the preservation of existence, and is absolutely focused on that. All else is banished because it would consume ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Ave Maria quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
And when this power [Richard Dehmel's poetic power], coursing through his being, reaches his sexuality, it doesn't find quite the pure human being it needs. The world of sexuality it finds is not entirely mature and pure, it is not human enough, only virile, rut, intoxication, restlessness, and weighed down by the old prejudices and arrogance with which men have disfigured and overburdened love. Because he loves only as a man, not as a human being, there is in his sense of sexuality something narrow, seemingly savage, hateful, time-bound, uneternal that diminishes his art and makes it ambivalent and doubtful. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Well for those who will be called upon to serve as soldiers in the ranks of whoever comes to build the new world. June, 1919. ~ Ottokar Theobald Otto Maria Czernin Von Und Zu Chudenitz
Ave Maria quotes by Ottokar Theobald Otto Maria Czernin Von Und Zu Chudenitz
Only through freedom and environmental experience is it practically possible for human development to occur. ~ Maria Montessori
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Montessori
Come to Me now with humble hearts. Because until you do this, you cannot benefit from My Mercy or receive the graces I long to provide you with. My Voice is calling out now to all non-believers to accept the existence of My Eternal Father. ~ Maria Divine Mercy
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Divine Mercy
Weren't you always
distracted by expectation, as if every event
announced a beloved? (Where can you find a place
to keep her, with all the huge strange thoughts inside you
going and coming and often staying all night.) ... ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
THAT'S PATHETIC, YELENA," Dax complained. "An all-powerful Soulfinder who isn't all-powerful. Where's the fun in that?" He threw up his long thin arms in mock frustration.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not the one who attached the 'all-powerful' to the title. ~ Maria V. Snyder
Ave Maria quotes by Maria V. Snyder
Vertigo, that's where I am. Pi wants to take over, but I don't let it. Looping wants to occur, but I remain sentient, and I don't do any of the various forms of out-freaking I want to do. ~ Maria Dahvana Headley
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Dahvana Headley
Did she just-"
"Yes."
"But I don't-"
"Yes you do. We both stink."
"Well, I'm not-"
"Yes. You are."
He huffed. "You wont let-"
"No. No complaining. Let's go." I grabbed a clean shirt and pants from my saddlebags.
"Well, she could have handled it better," he grumped.
"No. She couldn't."
He settled into a sulky silence as we visited the bathhouse. ~ Maria V. Snyder
Ave Maria quotes by Maria V. Snyder
If education recognizes the intrinsic value of the child's personality and provides an environment suited to spiritual growth, we have the revelation of an entirely new child whose astonishing characteristics can eventually contribute to the betterment of the world. ~ Maria Montessori
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Montessori
A lot of people didn't realize that I acted before I did anything else. ~ Maria Menounos
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Menounos
On Tuesday December seventh a lot of good things happened: they took the trach out, took the cast off my leg, and my PT, Maria, had me standing. ~ Amy Rankin
Ave Maria quotes by Amy Rankin
If I had to write a book, I could not find anything in the world worth saying - as is indeed the case with many voluminous authors. ~ Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
Ave Maria quotes by Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
So whoever loves must try to act as if he had a great work: he must be much alone and go into himself and collect himself and hold fast to himself; he must work; he must become something! ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ave Maria quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
You're living in the present. It's a reminder that you can see the future if you just point the glass in the right direction. ~ Maria V. Snyder
Ave Maria quotes by Maria V. Snyder
The world isn't large enough for heroes and monsters at once. There's too much danger of confusion between the two categories. ~ Maria Dahvana Headley
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Dahvana Headley
The consciousness of knowing how to make oneself useful, how to help mankind in many ways, fills the soul with noble confidence, almost religious dignity. ~ Maria Montessori
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Montessori
You've traded vocabulary, lucidity, and memory for motherhood. ~ Maria Semple
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Semple
Temptation, if it is not to conquer, must not fall like a bomb against another bomb of instantaneous moral explosions, but against the strong walls of an impregnable fortress strongly built up, stone by stone, beginning at that distant day when the foundations were first laid. ~ Maria Montessori
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Montessori
When I need to push myself, I think of all those nicely polished trophies waiting to be lifted up by the winner - and how that winner might be me. ~ Maria Sharapova
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Sharapova
Will you still walk with me?'
'Would you walk with a bad angel? ~ Maria McCann
Ave Maria quotes by Maria McCann
Somehow
I always expect that one day
The doors will speak out to me
And share their past
Life as it was centuries ago
Perhaps they have and
I did not listen ~ Maria Lehtman
Ave Maria quotes by Maria Lehtman
