It's our loot!" he yelled, standing on his tiptoes so he could get in Clarisse's face. "If you don't like it, you can kiss my quiver! ~ Rick Riordan
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Rick Riordan
I started to walk away, but she [Clarisse] called out, "Percy?"
"Yeah?"
"When you, uh, had that vision about your friends ... "
"You were one of them," I promised, "Just don't tell anybody, okay? Or I'de have to kill you."
A faint smile flickered across her face "See you later."
"See you ~ Rick Riordan
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Rick Riordan
In Paris, I found myself surrounded by Germans; they were all over the place. They played music, and people would go and listen to them! All along rue de Rivoli, as far as you could see from place de la Concorde, there were enormous swastika banners five or six floors high. I just thought, This is impossible.
Imagine that someone comes into your home - someone you don't like - he settles down, gives orders: "Here we are, we're at home now; you must obey." To me that was unbearable. ~ Pearl Witherington Cornioley
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Pearl Witherington Cornioley
A spring sun was shining on the rue St. Honore, as I ran down the church steps. On one corner stood a barrow full of yellow jonquils, pale violets from the Riviera, dark Russian violets, and white Roman hyacinths in a golden cloud of mimosa. The street was full of Sunday pleasure-seekers. I swung my cane and laughed with the rest. Someone overtook and passed me. He never turned, but there was the same deadly malignity in his white profile that there had been in his eyes. I watched him as long as I could see him. His lithe back expressed the same menace; every step that carried him away from me seemed to bear him on some errand connected with my destruction.

I was creeping along, my feet almost refusing to move. There began to dawn in me a sense of responsibility for something long forgotten. It began to seem as if I deserved that which he threatened: it reached a long way back - a long, long way back. It had lain dormant all these. years: it was there though, and presently it would rise and confront me. But I would try to escape; and I stumbled as best I could into the rue de Rivioli, across the Place de la Concorde and on to the Quai. I looked with sick eyes upon the sun, shining through the white foam of the fountain, pouring over the backs of the dusky bronze river-gods, on the far-away Arc, a structure of amethyst mist, on the countless vistas of grey stems and bare branches faintly green. Then I saw him again coming down one of the chestnut alleys of the Cours ~ Robert W. Chambers
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Robert W. Chambers
The death agony of the barricade was about to begin.
For, since the preceding evening, the two rows of houses in the Rue de la Chanvrerie had become two walls; ferocious walls, doors closed, windows closed, shutters closed.
A house is an escarpment, a door is a refusal, a facade is a wall. This wall hears, sees and will not. It might open and save you. No. This wall is a judge. It gazes at you and condemns you. What dismal things are closed houses. ~ Victor Hugo
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Victor Hugo
We're at a dinner party in an apartment on Rue Paul Valéry between Avenue Foch and Avenue Victor Hugo and it's all rather subdued since a small percentage of the invited guests were blown up in the Ritz yesterday. For comfort people went shopping, which is understandable even if they bought things a little too enthusiastically. Tonight it's just wildflowers and white lilies, just W's Paris bureau chief, Donna Karan, Aerin Lauder, Ines de la Fressange and Christian Louboutin, who thinks I snubbed him and maybe I did but maybe I'm past the point of caring. Just Annette Bening and Michael Stipe in a tomato-red wig. Just Tammy on heroin, serene and glassy-eyed, her lips swollen from collagen injections, beeswax balm spread over her mouth, gliding through the party, stopping to listen to Kate Winslet, to Jean Reno, to Polly Walker, to Jacques Grange. Just the smell of shit, floating, its fumes spreading everywhere. Just another conversation with a chic sadist obsessed with origami. Just another armless man waving a stump and whispering excitedly, "Natasha's coming!" Just people tan and back from the Ariel Sands Beach Club in Bermuda, some of them looking reskinned. Just me, making connections based on fear, experiencing vertigo, drinking a Woo-Woo. ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
Nature's laws must be obeyed, and the period of decline begins, and goes on with accelerated rapidity. ~ Warren De La Rue
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Warren De La Rue
A song is not a tool for changing a human heart in the way that a wrench is a tool for changing a bolt, but it was the tool I had, and I was the tool the OSP had.
The cansos in "Songs from Underneath" were not really as subtle as a wrench. Their primary trope was the ancient trick of making the viewpoint character a victim of oppression, because people identify passionately with a strong viewpoint character, and there is intense pleasure in identifying with the narrator of a sad story or song. In "Black Beauty" that trick had made people begin to think that beating horses was bad; it was the trope that make privileged white children burn with outrage at "Native Son" and prudes weep over prostitutes in "Elle frequentait la rue Pigalle" and "My Name is Not Bitch." They also received, at no extra cost, the delicious smug superiority of sympathizing with an underdog, unlike their less-enlightened neighbors.
Their primary ~ John Barnes
Clarisse La Rue quotes by John Barnes
By shading off, as I have done, the portion of the area of the diagram according to the individual age, every one may see how much of life is consumed, and what is left. ~ Warren De La Rue
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Warren De La Rue
For a deeper interest in the Moon than I ever felt before. ~ Warren De La Rue
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Warren De La Rue
The other evening, in that cafe-cabaret in the Rue de la Fontaine, where I had run aground with Tramsel and Jocard, who had taken me there to see that supposedly-fashionable singer... how could they fail to see that she was nothing but a corpse?

Yes, beneath the sumptuous and heavy ballgown, which swaddled her and held her upright like a sentry-box of pink velvet trimmed and embroidered with gold - a coffin befitting the queen of Spain - there was a corpse! But the others, amused by her wan voice and her emaciated frame, found her quaint - more than that, quite 'droll'...

Droll! that drab, soft and inconsistent epithet that everyone uses nowadays! The woman had, to be sure, a tiny carven head, and a kind of macabre prettiness within the furry heap of her opera-cloak. They studied her minutely, interested by the romance of her story: a petite bourgeoise thrown into the high life following the fad which had caught her up - and neither of them, nor anyone else besides in the whole of that room, had perceived what was immediately evident to my eyes. Placed flat on the white satin of her dress, the two hands of that singer were the two hands of a skeleton: two sets of knuckle-bones gloved in white suede. They might have been drawn by Albrecht
Durer: the ten fingers of an evil dead woman, fitted at the ends of the two overlong and excessively thin arms of a mannequin...

And while that room convulsed with laughter and thrilled with pleasure, g ~ Jean Lorrain
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jean Lorrain
A library implies an act of faith which generations, still in darkness hid, sign in their night in witness of the dawn."

À qui la faute? (1872) ~ Victor Hugo
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Victor Hugo
I was brought up, as a lot of kids are, on 'Aesop's Fables,' 'Brothers Grimm,' 'La Fontaine,' all those sorts of things. Hans Christian Andersen is a hero of mine. ~ Michael Morpurgo
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Michael Morpurgo
« Demain, dès l'aube… »


Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.

Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.

Je ne regarderai ni l'or du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j'arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.


Tomorrow, At Dawn
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the hour when the countryside whitens,
I will set out. You see, I know that you wait for me.
I will go by the forest, I will go by the mountain.
I can no longer remain far from you.

I will walk with my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Seeing nothing of outdoors, hearing no noise
Alone, unknown, my back curved, my hands crossed,
Sorrowed, and the day for me will be as the night.

I will not look at the gold of evening which falls,
Nor the distant sails going down towards Harfleur,
And when I arrive, I will place on your tomb
A bouquet of green holly and of flowering heather ~ Victor Hugo
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Victor Hugo
We may seem great in an employment below our worth, but we very often look little in one that is too big for us. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
That's the weirdest thing, by the way. That every person you come across lays down in a bed, under the covers, and closes their eyes at night. Cops, teachers, parents, hot girls, pro ballers, everybody. For some reason it makes people seem so much less real when I look at them. ~ Matt De La Pena
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Matt De La Pena
Un homme avec Dieu est toujours dans la majorite . One man with God is always a majority. ~ John Knox
Clarisse La Rue quotes by John Knox
You're always cursing, you're always praying and you're always making love. It ain't do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do. ~ Carlos Santana
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Carlos Santana
Cruelty is one fashion statement we can all do without. ~ Rue McClanahan
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Rue McClanahan
Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
Example is a dangerous lure: where the wasp got through the gnat sticks fast. ~ Jean De La Fontaine
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jean De La Fontaine
I enter a whorehouse with the same interest as I do the British museum or the Metropolitan - in the same spirit of curiosity. Here are the works of man, here is an art of man, here is the eternal pursuit of gold and pleasure. I couldn't be more sincere. This doesn't mean that if I go to La Scala in Milan to hear Carmen I want to get up on the stage and participate. I do not. Neither do I always participate in a fine representative national whorehouse - but I must see it as a spectacle, an offering, a symptom of a nation. ~ Errol Flynn
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Errol Flynn
Our treasures trifles seem, and all our life is dreaming, and the dreams themselves are dreams. ~ Pedro Calderon De La Barca
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Pedro Calderon De La Barca
I loved him so much, more than any moment or event could ever render. He was my air, my water, my blood pumping through my veins. I gave him every hidden spoke in my wheel. Every little thing that meant anything to me was nothing compared to him. To see him in so much pain cracked my soul. ~ Gretchen De La O
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Gretchen De La O
Spiritual health is no more stable than bodily; and though we may seem unaffected by the passions we are just as liable to be carried away by them as to fall ill when in good health. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
For the record, Maren voted hot. Drew voted cold. They both voted a la mode. Because, honestly, what's the point of pie without ice cream? ~ Melissa Tagg
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Melissa Tagg
I think I'm sort of blind to genre. As long as it has a sort of honesty about it, which I think you'll hear in whatever music you respond to, then I think it doesn't need to be called anything particularly. ~ Lianne La Havas
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Lianne La Havas
He was like a shooting star you tried to catch with your hands. She would only get burned. ~ Melissa De La Cruz
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
It must be pointed out to the preacher, if he is to cause his people profit and not to embarrass himself with vain joy and presumption, that preaching is a spiritual exercise rather than a vocal one. For, although it is practiced by means of outward words, its power and efficacy reside not in these but in the inward spirit. Wherefore, however lofty be the doctrine that is preached, and however choice the rhetoric and sublime the style wherein it is clothed, it brings as a rule no more benefit than is present in the spirit of the preacher. ~ Juan De La Cruz
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Juan De La Cruz
The pleasure of criticism takes away from us the pleasure of being deeply moved by very fine things. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
Hollywood was always heartbreak town, though most of the world fancied it to be Shangri-La, King Solomon's mines, and Fort Knox rolled into one big ball of 24-karat gold. ~ Hedda Hopper
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Hedda Hopper
Was he hungry? He'd had an enormous breakfast, but the transition from the glimpse had taken a lot out of him. Did they serve lunch in Hell? Should he have packed a snack? Why was he suddenly thinking about food? ~ Melissa De La Cruz
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
Beware, so long as you live, or judging men by their outwards appearance. ~ Jean De La Fontaine
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jean De La Fontaine
The sure way to be cheated is to think one's self more cunning than others. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Some of the plants have obituary names: Iris, Basil, Rue, Rosemary, and Verbena. Some, like meadowsweet and cowslips, sweet flag and spikenard, are like the names of Shakespeare fairies. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
A position of eminence makes a great person greater and a small person less. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
The doctors allow one to die, the charlatans kill. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
The most ingenious men continually pretend to condemn tricking
but this is often done that they may use it more conveniently themselves, when some great occasion or interest offers itself to them. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
I can handle Evil, but I cannot handle Anticipation. ~ Gabbo De La Parra
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Gabbo De La Parra
One day or one night - between my days and nights, what difference can there be? - I dreamed that there was a grain of sand on the floor of my cell. Unconcerned, I went back to sleep; I dreamed that I woke up and there were two grains of sand. Again I slept; I dreamed that now there were three. Thus the grains of sand multiplied, little by little, until they filled the cell and I was dying beneath that hemisphere of sand. I realized that I was dreaming; with a vast effort I woke myself. But waking up was useless - I was suffocated by the countless sand. Someone said to me:

You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, and so on, to infinity, which is the number of the grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened.

I felt lost. The sand crushed my mouth, but I cried out: I cannot be killed by sand that I dream - nor is there any such thing as a dream within a dream.

- Jorge Luis Borges, The Writing of the God ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
In every heart a waterfall of love is primed to shower the world. ~ Amy Leigh Mercree
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Amy Leigh Mercree
Coquetry is the essential characteristic, and the prevalent humor of women; but they do not all practice it, because the coquetry of some is restrained by fear or by reason. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
When I first moved to LA and it was the first event that I ever went to, and I thought I was all cute. I thought I was all dressed up, but it was casual. In LA, everything is so casual, so I got so dressed up for nothing. ~ Mark Indelicato
Clarisse La Rue quotes by Mark Indelicato
It is harder to hide feelings we have than to feign those we lack. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
