The peach gown she'd chosen was the color of the sunrise, the rippling watered silk seeming to subtly change from rose to pink to nearly orange in different lights. She'd fallen in love with it at once. ~ Elizabeth Hoyt
Iris De Chartres quotes by Elizabeth Hoyt
His duchess caught the tip of her tongue between her teeth as she carefully poured warm water over his hair. Her lips were very pink. Plump, with a prominent Cupid's bow on the upper one. Her mouth gleamed softly with moisture.
His eyelids dropped as he considered what he wanted to do with that mouth.
She was working soap into his hair now with strong, slim fingers that massaged his scalp.
He clenched his jaw to keep from groaning.
She scrubbed backward through his hair, stroking, pressing, and he found his eyes closing like a lazy cat's. He'd not been touched like this by another since...
Well. Not for a very long time. ~ Elizabeth Hoyt
Iris De Chartres quotes by Elizabeth Hoyt
There was Pauline de Rothschild, who I thought was very fabulous, and Millicent Rogers, the Standard Oil heiress, very chic, very clever, very original. I admired both those women very much. And I had a great example with my mother, who was extremely chic. ~ Iris Apfel
Iris De Chartres quotes by Iris Apfel
The preliminaries were out of the way, the creative process was about to begin. The creative process, that mystic life force, that splurge out of which has come the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa, the Fantasie Impromptu, the Bayeux tapestries, Romeo and Juliet, the windows of Chartres Cathedral, Paradise Lost - and a pulp murder story by Dan Moody. The process is the same in all; if the results are a little uneven, that doesn't invalidate the basic similarity of origin. ~ Cornell Woolrich
Iris De Chartres quotes by Cornell Woolrich
T. S. Eliot and Jean-Paul Sartre, dissimilar enough as thinkers, both tend to undervalue prose and to deny it any imaginative function. Poetry is the creation of linguistic quasi-things; prose is for explanation and exposition, it is essentially didactic, documentary, informative. Prose is ideally transparent; it is only faute de mieux written in words. The influential modern stylist is Hemingway. It would be almost inconceivable now to write like Landor. Most modern English novels indeed are not written. One feels they could slip into some other medium without much loss. It takes a foreigner like Nabokov or an Irishman like Beckett to animate prose language into an imaginative stuff in its own right. ~ Iris Murdoch
Iris De Chartres quotes by Iris Murdoch
I love you to the moon and back is a nice thing to say as it means you love someone a hell of a lot but it is not enough to express what I feel for you. The moon is actually visible and the distance to the moon and back is caculatable so in a way limited. So what about I love you to beyond the universe and back instead. It just comes closer to what I feel for you than "to the moon and back". ~ Iris Van De Voort
Iris De Chartres quotes by Iris Van De Voort
The more sins you confess, the more books you will sell. ~ Ninon De L'Enclos
Iris De Chartres quotes by Ninon De L'Enclos
The little girl's sense of secrecy that developed at prepuberty only grows in importance. She closes herself up in fierce solitude: she refuses to reveal to those around her the hidden self that she considers to be her real self and that is in fact an imaginary character: she plays at being a dancer like Tolstoy's Natasha, or a saint like Marie Leneru, or simply the singular wonder that is herself. There is still an enormous difference between this heroine and the objective face that her parents and friends recognise in her. She is also convinced that she is misunderstood: her relationship with herself becomes even more passionate: she becomes intoxicated with her isolation, feels different, superior, exceptional: she promises that the future will take revenge on the mediocrity of her present life. From this narrow and petty existence she escapes by dreams. ~ Simone De Beauvoir
Iris De Chartres quotes by Simone De Beauvoir
She arched an eyebrow. "You already know?" "I stole his soul, lost his soul, exorcised his soul from another person's body, stuffed him in a bottle, pulled a short con, and now the Choir thinks I'm Gilles de Rais." Pixie just stared at me. She rested her palms on the tabletop. "You have got," she said, "to do a better job of keeping me in the loop." "It's been a really busy couple of days. ~ Craig Schaefer
Iris De Chartres quotes by Craig Schaefer
With vertical thinking one may look for different approaches until one finds a promising one. With lateral thinking one goes on generating as many approaches as one can even after one has found a promising one. With vertical thinking one is trying to select the best approach but with lateral thinking one is generating different approaches for the sake of generating them. ~ Edward De Bono
Iris De Chartres quotes by Edward De Bono
People who climb from one rung of society to another can never do anything simply. ~ Honore De Balzac
Iris De Chartres quotes by Honore De Balzac
There everything is tolerated: the government and the guillotine, religion and the cholera. You are always acceptable to this world, you will never be missed by it. What, then, is the dominating impulse in this country without morals, without faith, without any sentiment, wherein, however, every sentiment, belief, and moral has its origin and end? It is gold and pleasure. Take ~ Honore De Balzac
Iris De Chartres quotes by Honore De Balzac
Agnostics and other relativists dispute the value of metaphysical certainty; in order to demonstrate the illusory character of the de jure certainty of truth, they set it in opposition to the de facto certitude of error, as if the psychological phenomenon of false certainties could prevent true certainties from being what they are and from having all their effectiveness, and as if the very existence of false certainties did not prove in its own way the existence of true ones. The fact that a lunatic feels certain he is something that he is not does not prevent us from being certain of what he is and what we ourselves are, and the fact that we are unable to prove to him that he is mistaken does not prevent us from being right; or again, the fact that an unbalanced person may possibly have misgivings about his condition does not oblige us to have them about our own, even if we find it impossible to prove to him that our certainty is well founded. It is absurd to demand absolute proofs of suprasensorial realities that one thinks one ought to question while refusing in the name of reason to consider metaphysical arguments that are sufficient in themselves; for outside of these arguments the only proof of hidden realities - as we have already said - is the realities themselves. One cannot ask the dawn to be the sun or a shadow to be the tree that casts it; the very existence of our intelligence proves the reality of the relationships of causality, relationships that allow us to ac ~ Frithjof Schuon
Iris De Chartres quotes by Frithjof Schuon
Dead my old fine hopes
And dry my dreaming but still ...
Iris, blue each spring ~ Shushiki
Iris De Chartres quotes by Shushiki
Town-meetings are to liberty what primary schools are to science; ~ Alexis De Tocqueville
Iris De Chartres quotes by Alexis De Tocqueville
I was foreign and Jewish, with a funny name, and was very small and hated sport, a real problem at an English prep school. So the way to get round it was to become the school joker, which I did quite effectively - I was always fooling around to make the people who would otherwise dump me in the loo laugh. ~ Alain De Botton
Iris De Chartres quotes by Alain De Botton
You can't ask for what you want unless you know what it is. A lot of people don't know what they want or they want much less than they deserve. First you have figure out what you want. Second, you have to decide that you deserve it. Third, you have to believe you can get it. And, fourth, you have to have the guts to ask for it ~ Barbara De Angelis
Iris De Chartres quotes by Barbara De Angelis
There are women who never had an intrigue; but there are scarce any who never had but one. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Iris De Chartres quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
There is no crisis in cinema. There are negative periods. There are times when some films are received well and others aren't. The past teaches us that some films were received badly, while others go sailing on. ~ Vittorio De Sica
Iris De Chartres quotes by Vittorio De Sica
The dead and past stories that I have told again in divers fashions, are not set down without authority. ~ Marie De France
Iris De Chartres quotes by Marie De France
Somebody who was born in this country who visited China would later face difficulty getting back in to the USA. We have to keep in mind that the struggles of the Chinese against these exclusion laws really laid down the foundations of civil rights law. ~ Iris Chang
Iris De Chartres quotes by Iris Chang
Where there's self importance, there's only a very little bit of you and that little bit is distorted. It's in a holding pattern that is false to what it knows. That holding pattern forbids you, in that little bit of you, from being the rest of you. ~ John De Ruiter
Iris De Chartres quotes by John De Ruiter
We should keep a careful diary of our moments of envy: they are our covert guides to what we should try to do next. ~ Alain De Botton
Iris De Chartres quotes by Alain De Botton
It is not reasonable that art should win the place of honor over our great and powerful mother Nature. We have so overloaded the beauty and richness of her works by our inventions that we have quite smothered her. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Iris De Chartres quotes by Michel De Montaigne
One should always have one's boots on and be ready to leave. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Iris De Chartres quotes by Michel De Montaigne
I am like a doctor. I have written a prescription to help the patient. If the patient doesn't want all the pills I've recommended, that's up to him. But I must warn that next time I will have to come as a surgeon with a knife. ~ Javier Perez De Cuellar
Iris De Chartres quotes by Javier Perez De Cuellar
I swear on everything holy I do not know what's on the Internet about me. ~ Iris Apfel
Iris De Chartres quotes by Iris Apfel
As love is union, it knows no extremes of distance. ~ Juana Ines De La Cruz
Iris De Chartres quotes by Juana Ines De La Cruz
It could be Paris. It could be Rio de Janeiro. It could be anywhere but home: someplace, anyplace, disorienting enough to make him notice what he wouldn't otherwise see. (The medicinal benefits of disorientation can never be overestimated.) ~ Bill Buford
Iris De Chartres quotes by Bill Buford
I am the fellow citizen of every being that thinks; my country is Truth. ~ Alphonse De Lamartine
Iris De Chartres quotes by Alphonse De Lamartine
Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Iris De Chartres quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
The hill is paved with wild wheat. If the conifers and sagebrush are soloists, the wheat field is a corps de ballet, each stem following all the rest in bursts of movement, a million ballerinas bending, one after the other, as great gales dent their golden heads. The shape of that dent lasts only a moment, and is as close as anyone gets to seeing wind. ~ Tara Westover
Iris De Chartres quotes by Tara Westover
The entire stock of relationships which suited in war - militiae - was regarded as inadmissible and improper in peace - domi. We have the measure of how right the Romans were in this respect in the experience of the intellectual and moral impoverishment brought about by total mobilisation. ~ Bertrand De Jouvenel
Iris De Chartres quotes by Bertrand De Jouvenel
People say I'm into black women. Robert De Niro is into black women. I'm just into women who are real, and they happen to be black. ~ Bill Maher
Iris De Chartres quotes by Bill Maher
If a memory or a particular sadness we feel is capable of disappearing, to the point where we no longer notice it, it can also return and sometimes remain there for a long time. There were evenings when, as I crossed the town on my way to the restaurant, I felt so great a pang of longing for Mme de Guermantes that it took my breath away: it was as if part of my breast had been cut out by a skilled anatomist and replaced by an equal part of immaterial suffering, by an equivalent degree of nostalgia and love. And however neat the surgeon's stitches are, life is rather painful when longing for another person is substituted for the intestines; it seems to occupy more space than they do; it is a constantly felt presence; and then, how utterly unsettling it is to be obliged to think with part of the body! Yet it does somehow make us feel more authentic. ~ Marcel Proust
Iris De Chartres quotes by Marcel Proust
Letitia gets extremely pissed off when we're late with reports. It's you she coddles, as you're the baby."

Kyle scowls at his elder brother. "She doesn't coddle."
"She does. She pinches your cheeks," Megan says with her mouth full of pastry.

"That's abuse," Kyle counters. "I've told her to stop. ~ Liz De Jager
Iris De Chartres quotes by Liz De Jager
I would love to live in India or in the South of France, but Roger Vivier doesn't have offices yet in New Delhi or Jaipur. ~ Ines De La Fressange
Iris De Chartres quotes by Ines De La Fressange
And dieting, I discovered, was another form of disordered eating, just as anorexia and bulimia similarly disrupt the natural order of eating. "Ordered" eating is the practice of eating when you are hungry and ceasing to eat when your brain sends the signal that your stomach is full ... All people who live their lives on a diet are suffering. If you can accept your natural body weight and not force it to beneath your body's natural, healthy weight, then you can live your life free of dieting, of restriction, of feeling guilty every time you eat a slice of your kid's birthday cake. ~ Portia De Rossi
Iris De Chartres quotes by Portia De Rossi
Wisdom can be learned . But it cannot be taught . ~ Anthony De Mello
Iris De Chartres quotes by Anthony De Mello
Equality cannot be imagined outside of tyranny. ~ Charles Forbes Rene De Montalembert
Iris De Chartres quotes by Charles Forbes Rene De Montalembert
Beauty belongs to the sphere of the simple, the ordinary, whilst ugliness is something extraordinary, and there is no question but that every ardent imagination prefers in lubricity, the extraordinary to the commonplace ~ Marquis De Sade
Iris De Chartres quotes by Marquis De Sade
He was a fat little man with short arms, short legs, a short neck, short nose, short everything in fact. ~ Guy De Maupassant
Iris De Chartres quotes by Guy De Maupassant
Climate is not responding to greenhouse gases in the way we thought it might. If increasing carbon dioxide is in fact increasing climate change, its impact is smaller than natural variation. People are being misled by people making money out of this. ~ Chris De Freitas
Iris De Chartres quotes by Chris De Freitas
We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek - Jesus, her Son. ~ Louis De Montfort
Iris De Chartres quotes by Louis De Montfort
