Bakersville was never going to be the same. She'd been to other small towns where the residents all thought serial killers looked like monsters, that no member of their community could hide such dark desires. Once upon a time, she'd lived in one.
And the monster there had ripped her life apart. ~ Elizabeth Heiter
Evelyn Baine quotes by Elizabeth Heiter
She didn't remember feeling nervous, as though someone was stalking her, watching her every move. ~ Elizabeth Heiter
Evelyn Baine quotes by Elizabeth Heiter
It is, of course, much easier for a literary character to take a risk for love. The realities of social strata and responsibility mean nothing but a plot point in today's modern literature, but outside of these stories we are not pushing for change. The ideals we embody in our art rarely play themselves out in our lives. What would happen if we took the example of our fictional heroes; what if each of us was a Don Juan? ~ Evelyn Pryce
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Pryce
Evelyn stared into the empty ice cream carton and wondered where the smiling girl in the school pictures had gone. ~ Fannie Flagg
Evelyn Baine quotes by Fannie Flagg
Intuitive Eaters march to their inner hunger signals, and eat whatever they choose without experiencing guilt or an ethical dilemma. ~ Evelyn Tribole
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Tribole
There was a regulation that if they remained at large in enemy territory for some weeks longer, they could be repatriated to the United States. It was for this that they had made a hazardous parachute jump and destroyed an expensive, very slightly damaged aeroplane. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
What I have to do as a musician is do everything that is not on the music. ~ Evelyn Glennie
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Glennie
I never see you now,' she said. 'I never seem to see anyone I like. I don't know why.'
But she spoke as though it were a matter of weeks rather than of years; as though, too, before our parting we had been firm friends. It was dead contrary to the common experience of such encounters, when time is found to have built its own defensive lines, camouflaged vulnerable points, and laid a field of mines across all but a few well-trodden paths, so that, more often than not, we can only signal to one another from either side of the tangle of wire. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
I don't feel when I'm writing that I'm drawing from any other writer, but of course I must be. The writers I've admired have been not so very different from myself: Evelyn Waugh, for example, that kind of crystalline prose. And I've always admired W. Somerset Maugham more than any other writer. ~ Charles McCarry
Evelyn Baine quotes by Charles McCarry
My dear, I should like to stick you full of barbed arrows like a p-p-pin cushion ... Where do you lurk? I shall come down your burrow and ch-chivvy you out like an old st-t-toat. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
I'm not a deaf musician. I'm a musician who happens to be deaf. ~ Evelyn Glennie
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Glennie
He wrote you a poem?" Evelyn looped her hand around Georgiana's arm and led the way to the chairs lining one side of the room.
"He did." Grateful to see Luxley select one of the debutantes as his next victim, Georgiana accepted a glass of Madeira from one of the footman. After three hours of quadrilles, waltzes, and country dances, her feet ached. "And you know what rhymes with Georgiana, don't you?"
Evelyn wrinkled her brow, her gray eyes twinkling. "No, what?"
"Nothing. He just put 'iana' after every ending word. In iambic trimeter, yet. 'Oh, Georgiana, your beauty is my sunlightiana, your hair is finer than goldiana, your - ' "
Lucinda made a choking sound. ~ Suzanne Enoch
Evelyn Baine quotes by Suzanne Enoch
Evelyn: [drunk] You're wondering, 'What is a place like me doing in a girl like this?'
Rick: Yeah, something like that. ~ Max Allan Collins
Evelyn Baine quotes by Max Allan Collins
This was my conversion to the baroque. Here under that high and insolent dome, under those tricky ceilings; here, as I passed through those arches and broken pediments to the pillared shade beyond and sat, hour by hour, before the fountain, probing its shadows, tracing its lingering echoes, rejoicing in all its clustered feats of daring and invention, I felt a whole new system of nerves alive within me, as though the water that spurted and bubbled among its stones was indeed a life-giving spring. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Comparisons are odious. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
We adorn graves with flowers and redolent plants, just emblems of the life of man, which has been compared in the Holy Scriptures to those fading beauties whose roots, being buried in dishonor, rise again in glory. ~ John Evelyn
Evelyn Baine quotes by John Evelyn
The langour of Youth - how unique and quintessential it is! How quickly, how irrecoverably, lost! The zest, the generous affections, the illusions, the despair, all the traditional attributes of Youth - all save this come and go with us through life ... These things are a part of life itself; but languor - the relaxation of yet unwearied sinews, the mind sequestered and self-regarding, the sun standing still in the heavens and the earth throbbing to our own pulse - that belongs to Youth alone and dies with it. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
My efforts to join the fight against breast cancer all began around the fact that women were getting short-changed in the medical arena. ~ Evelyn Lauder
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Lauder
O God, if there is a God, forgive him his sins, if there is such a thing as sin, ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Properly understood, style is not a seductive decoration added to a functional structure; it is of the essence of a work of art. The necessary elements of style are lucidity, elegance, and individuality; these three qualities combine to form a preservative which ensures the nearest approximation to permanence in the fugitive art of letters. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
I was a masterpiece; a painting in itself. He was changing me, molding me, and making me into something brand new. I was a blank canvas when I came to him, ready to absorb all the paint he would slather on me. He kept going, adding layer upon layer, sometimes even shedding them just so I could turn out beautiful. And he was done now, ready to let me leave and display me on a wall for people to see. ~ Evelyn Deshane
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Deshane
He seems to be in a very bad temper." "Not really. He's always like that to waiters. You see he's a communist. Most of the staff of The Twopence are - they're University men, you see. Pappenhacker says that every time you are polite to a proletarian you are helping to bolster up the capitalist system. He's very clever of course, but he gets rather unpopular. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Most writers in the course of their careers become thick-skinned and learn to accept vituperation, which in any other profession would be unimaginably offensive, as a healthy counterpoise to unintelligent praise. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Beware of writing to me. I always answer ... My father spent the last 20 years of his life writing letters. If someone thanked him for a wedding present, he thanked them for thanking him and there was no end to the exchange but death. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
As the late earl said, 'The early bird catches birds of a like feather,'" she said.
I nodded, not even trying to understand how that would work. At the very least, the combination of proverbs made it somewhat original. ~ Tarun Shanker
Evelyn Baine quotes by Tarun Shanker
When we make love, it's going to be making love. I want more than just your amazing body, Autumn. I want all of you." She felt him swallow against the top of her head. "I don't know who broke your heart, but I'm going to earn your trust. And we will make love. ~ Evelyn Adams
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Adams
The most helpful piece of advice that I could give to anybody is to select a charity, or create a charity, that you really feel passionate about and if you do, don't give up. ~ Evelyn Lauder
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Lauder
Half the confusion in the world comes from not knowing how little we need. ~ Richard Evelyn Byrd
Evelyn Baine quotes by Richard Evelyn Byrd
If Brideshead Revisited is not a great book, it's so like a great book that many of us, at least while reading it, find it hard to tell the difference. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Sebastian's life was governed by a code of such imperatives. 'I must have pillar-box red pyjamas,' 'I have to stay in bed until the sun works round the windows,' 'I've absolutely got to drink champagne tonight. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Sebastian is in love with his own childhood. That will make him very unhappy. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
The films that I've made with my company Irish DreamTime are close to my heart. 'The Greatest' being one of them, and 'Evelyn' being another. ~ Pierce Brosnan
Evelyn Baine quotes by Pierce Brosnan
It is significant that many of these experiences are reported to us from periods of war and distress: that the stronger the forces of destruction appeared, the more intense grew the spiritual vision which opposed them. We learn from these records that the mystical consciousness has the power of lifting those who possess it to a plane of reality which no struggle, no cruelty, can disturb: of conferring a certitude which no catastrophe can wreck. Yet it does not wrap its initiates in a selfish and otherworldly calm, isolate them from the pain and effort of the common life. Rather, it gives them renewed vitality; administering to the human spirit not--as some suppose--a soothing draught, but the most powerful of stimulants. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Underhill
I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because I prefer the deep sounds. I can't hear the violins well. ~ Evelyn Glennie
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Glennie
The understatement, the self-ridicule, the delight in the foreignness of foreigners, the complete denial of any attempt to enlist the sympathies of his readers in the hardships he has capriciously invited. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Color is a big part of what I do. It's like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations; there's no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow. ~ Evelyn Lauder
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Lauder
Beavers bred in captivity, inhabiting a concrete pool, will, if given the timber, fatuously go through all the motions of damming an ancestral stream. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn, please, you have no idea how much I regret that day."
"I think I have some idea."
"I have thought every day about you - your loss. And every day, I only saw how I would make things worse if I were here."
"And I only thought of ways you would have made it better. ~ Tarun Shanker
Evelyn Baine quotes by Tarun Shanker
Once you start changing a name, you see, there's no reason ever to stop. One always hears one that sounds better. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
There is a class whose value I should designate as Favorites: such as Froissart's Chronicles; Southey's Chronicle of the Cid ; Cervantes ; Sully's Memoirs ; Rabelais ; Montaigne ; Izaak Walton; Evelyn; Sir Thomas Browne; Aubrey ; Sterne ; Horace Walpole ; Lord Clarendon ; Doctor Johnson ; Burke, shedding floods of light on his times ; Lamb; Landor ; and De Quincey ;- a list, of course, that may easily be swelled, as dependent on individual caprice. Many men are as tender and irritable as lovers in reference to these predilections. Indeed, a man's library is a sort of harem, and I observe that tender readers have a great pudency in showing their books to a stranger. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Evelyn Baine quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Up to a point, Lord Copper. ~ Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Baine quotes by Evelyn Waugh
