The bitter cup I drink today,
Tomorrow may be drunk by thee. ~ Jane Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Grey
My Lady, please! I am indecent.' 'You are,' Jane agreed. 'Not to mention the fact that you are also unclothed. ~ Brodi Ashton
Jane Grey quotes by Brodi Ashton
Trials are a part of life, but there is value in sometimes experiencing adversity which will test (and so strengthen) our faith and also build an understanding of God and ourselves. ~ Eric Ives
Jane Grey quotes by Eric Ives
Although it hath pleased God to hasten my death by you, by whom my life should rather have been lengthened, yet can I patiently take it, that I yield God more hearty thanks for shortening my woeful days. ~ Jane Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Grey
Gifford took her damp hand and pushed a ring onto her finger. "I give myself to you."
"I receive you." It sounded more like a croak. "And I, Jane Grey, hereby declare my devotion to you. I swear to love you, parley with you, be faithful to you, and make you the happiest man in the world."
The original version of the vow her mother had suggested had said "obey you" but that simply would not do. It was enough that Jane had agreed to keep the word love where she had tried to insert the phrase "feel some sort of emotion", but with obey she could not bend. She would consult him regarding decisions. She didn't have to listen to him after that. And she would be faithful. She might try to make him happy, unless he insisted on being unreasonable. ~ Cynthia Hand
Jane Grey quotes by Cynthia Hand
Deny the world, defy the devil, despise the flesh, and delight yourself only in the Lord. ~ Lady Jane Grey

I ground my faith upon God's word, and not upon the church. ~ Jane Grey

If only they would all just leave me alone with my books and my letters, I would be content to let life, and the world pass me by ~ Alison Weir

I do wash my hands in innocency, before God and the face of you, good Christian people this day. ~ Jane Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Grey
The highest earthly enjoyments are but a shadow of the joy I find in reading God's Word. ~ Lady Jane Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Lady Jane Grey
I prefer to be left alone with my books. ~ Alison Weir
Jane Grey quotes by Alison Weir
There are too many Dudleys already in this world ~ Alison Weir
Jane Grey quotes by Alison Weir
I think that at the supper I neither receive flesh nor blood, but bread and wine; which bread when it is broken, and the wine when it is drunken, put me in remembrance how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken, and his blood shed on the cross. ~ Jane Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Grey
When he performs, he is all of us, the person we wish we could be. He is the hero in all of us. ~ Jane Harvey-Berrick

Jane Grey quotes by Jane Rule
It remained dark. Outside the window, the balcony was grey. Suddenly, on its sullen stone, I did not indeed see a less negative colour, but I felt as it were an effort towards a less negative colour, the pulsation of a hesitating ray that struggled to discharge its light. A moment later the balcony was as pale and luminous as a standing water at dawn, and a thousand shadows from the iron-work of its balustrade had come to rest on it. A breath of wind dispersed them; the stone grew dark again, but, like tamed creatures, they returned; they began, imperceptibly, to grow lighter, and by one of those continuous crescendos, such as, in music, at the end of an overture, carry a single note to the extreme fortissimo, making it pass rapidly through all the intermediate stages, I saw it attain to that fixed, unalterable gold of fine days, on which the sharply cut shadows of the wrought iron of the balustrade were outlined in black like a capricious vegetation, with a fineness in the delineation of their smallest details which seemed to indicate a deliberate application, an artist's satisfaction, and which so much relief, so velvety a bloom in the restfulness of their somber and happy mass that in truth those large and leafy shadows which lay reflected on that lake of sunshine seemed aware that they were pledges of happiness and peace of mind. ~ Marcel Proust
Jane Grey quotes by Marcel Proust
I would love to do a sweeping romantic period drama, like Jane Eyre. That would be my dream. It's always been my dream, as far as acting. ~ Chloe Sevigny
Jane Grey quotes by Chloe Sevigny
It takes a lot out of you to do a one-hour episodic lead of a show. I don't think actors realize that when they take the job. ~ Jane Krakowski
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Krakowski
She was a patron saint of the peripheral. ~ Jane Howard
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Howard
People don't really absorb everything they read or hear. They just look at it quickly, and then they choose to remember what they want to remember. ~ Sasha Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Sasha Grey
How Could You Not - for Jane Kenyon

It is a day after many days of storms.
Having been washed and washed, the air glitters;
small heaped cumuli blow across the sky; a shower
visible against the firs douses the crocuses.

We knew it would happen one day this week.
Now, when I learn you have died, I go
to the open door and look across at New Hampshire
and see that there, too, the sun is bright
and clouds are making their shadowy ways along the horizon;

and I think: How could it not have been today?
In another room, Keri Te Kanawa is singing
the Laudate Dominum of Mozart, very faintly,
as if in the past, to those who once sat
in the steel seat of the old mowing machine,
cheerful descendent of the scythe of the grim reaper,

and drew the cutter bars little
reciprocating triangles through the grass
to make the stalks lie down in sunshine.
Could you have walked in the dark early this morning
and found yourself grown completely tired
of the successes and failures of medicine,
of your year of pain and despair remitted briefly
now and then by hope that had that leaden taste?

Did you glimpse in first light the world as you loved it
and see that, now, it was not wrong to die
and that, on dying, you would leave
your beloved in a day like paradise?

Near sunrise did you loosen your hold a little?
How could you not ~ Galway Kinnell
Jane Grey quotes by Galway Kinnell
We certainly do not forget you, so soon as you forget us. It is, perhaps, our fate rather than our merit. We cannot help ourselves. ~ Jane Austen
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Austen
progressive social change cannot be made without a leadership ready to take risks. ~ Jane F. McAlevey
Jane Grey quotes by Jane F. McAlevey
I didn't want the children to grow up and, when asked what their mother did, say, 'Oh, Mom's a gun moll in the movies.' ~ Jane Greer
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Greer
We understand that Nixon's aggression against Vietnam is a racist aggression, that the American war in Vietnam is a racist war, a white man's war ... We deplore that you are being used as cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism. We've seen photographs of American bombs and antipersonnel weapons being dropped, wantonly, accidentally perhaps, on your heads, on the heads of your comrades. ~ Jane Fonda
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Fonda
A general silence prevailed
A silence, which was by nothing interrupted but by the loud and repeated snores of one of the Party. "What an illiterate villian must that man be! (thought I to myself) What a total want of delicate refinement must he have, who can thus shock our senses by such a brutal noise! He must I am certain be capable of every bad action! There is no crime too black for such a Character!" Thus reasoned I within myself, and doubtless such were the reflections of my fellow travellers. ~ Jane Austen
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Austen
If you look through all the different cultures. Right from the earliest, earliest days with the animistic religions, we have sought to have some kind of explanation for our life, for our being, that is outside of our humanity. ~ Jane Goodall
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Goodall
Call me D."
"D?"
"You asked my name, I told ya."
"Yeah, it's just that... well, most of the time in names, D is followed by some more letters. Like -onald, or -avid."
D stared at him for a few seconds, then seemed to relax.
"D's good enough. ~ Jane Seville
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Seville
One hundred facets of Mr. Diamonds "The new saga that will make you forget Fifty Shades of Grey! ~ Various
Jane Grey quotes by Various
It is very unfair to judge of any body's conduct, without an intimate knowledge of their situation. ~ Jane Austen
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Austen
I don't have much anymore, but I'll give you everything I got. ~ Kendall Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Kendall Grey
I do not cough for my own amusement. ~ Jane Austen
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Austen
What I dislike about movie culture is that it often presents a parable of our problems - but the issues are all straightforward and the people are either nice or they're not. In real life, everyone falls between those perimeters, but not many American films operate in that grey area. ~ Julian Fellowes
Jane Grey quotes by Julian Fellowes
He was tall, dark and handsome, the complete trifecta. His unique grey eyes and his tousled dark brown hair, made him look like he belonged on the cover of a romance novel. ~ Nicole Gulla
Jane Grey quotes by Nicole Gulla
We need spies that look like their targets, CIA officers who speak the dialects terrorists use, and FBI agents who can speak to Muslim women who might be intimidated by men. ~ Jane Harman
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Harman
There is nothing like employment, active indispensable employment, for relieving sorrow. Employment, even melancholy, may dispel melancholy. ~ Jane Austen
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Austen
No new reader, however charitable, could open "Fifty Shades of Grey," browse a few paragraphs, and reasonably conclude that the author was writing in her first language, or even her fourth. ~ Anthony Lane
Jane Grey quotes by Anthony Lane
On occasion we stumble upon what seems to be a truth. Compared to the surrounding blackness, it sparkles and dazzles our eyes. But are these actually truths? Are our eyes really feasting upon light? Or just patches of grey? ~ Roy L. Pickering Jr.
Jane Grey quotes by Roy L. Pickering Jr.
Hey what's your name"
"Candi." She's hesitant, like that beaten dog Jade mentioned. "Candi Woodward."
"I'm Ayla Monroe."
She laughs uneasily. "I know."
"Out, Candi Cane," Jane orders. ~ Roxanne St. Claire
Jane Grey quotes by Roxanne St. Claire
Everything created has a beginning, Destiny of the Endless ... as everything created has an end. ~ Neil Gaiman
Jane Grey quotes by Neil Gaiman
I mention this fact as tending to support what I have often heard stated, namely, that a shark's sense of smell is so keen that, if men ever bathe in seas where they are found, a shark is almost sure to appear directly afterwards. ~ George Grey
Jane Grey quotes by George Grey
He thought there must be a place, like a dead-letter office, where everyone's longing went, yearning that was sent out, day after day. He thought it must collect somewhere, in a dank basement room, the mass of it rising and rising like water, and with no end in sight. ~ Jane Hamilton
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Hamilton
A Nepali outlook, pace and philosophy had prevented us being swamped by our problems. In Nepal it was easier to take life day by day. ~ Jane Wilson-Howarth
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Wilson-Howarth
I love Christmas! I'm not religious, but I love the trappings of the season. I love the decorations, and the music, and Santa, and the festive food, and the cinnamon- and vanilla-infused aromas. ~ Jane Cleland
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Cleland
The heart's actions
are neither the sentence nor its reprieve.
Salt hay and thistles, above the cold granite.
One bird singing back to another because it can't not. ~ Jane Hirshfield
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Hirshfield
Always resignation and acceptance. Always prudence and honour and duty. Elinor, where is your heart? ~ Jane Austen
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Austen
The only siblings I have are half-siblings. My nuclear family would have been an extra-suffocating threesome. Instead, I have an interesting brother and sister, in-laws, and darling nephews. ~ Jane Smiley
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Smiley
Lindsey
There is the usual hive of activity in the Brannon household this morning. Mrs Brannon is busy making breakfast for her daughter, Lindsey, making it just as she likes it: two slices of toast with home-made raspberry jam, a hard-boiled egg, shell peeled and the egg cut into slices, a cup of fresh Earl Grey tea with one brown sugar and a touch of milk, with a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice on the side – oranges bought from the greengrocer down the road. The same breakfast she has lovingly made for her daughter for over forty years. ~ Ross Lennon
Jane Grey quotes by Ross Lennon
Hindsight is not a strategy. ~ Jane Bryant Quinn
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Bryant Quinn
Share your presence with others, no boundaries, completely, openly, lovingly. Love is what makes us alive, that is why we feel so alive when we love. Service is being available to love. Life is the combustion of love. That we love ourselves here, that is the true magnificence in the mountains of being. ~ Alex Grey
Jane Grey quotes by Alex Grey
You are everything I need" - Vishous to Jane ~ J.R. Ward
Jane Grey quotes by J.R. Ward
Almonds. Apricots. Avocadoes. Some peaches I don't know. Grapefruit. Lemones. Probably oranges. ~ Jane Smiley
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Smiley
I never wanted to be an actor. My dad was an actor, and he never brought joy home, so I didn't view it as something that I would want to do. But I got fired as a secretary, and then I started studying, I started doing it just to earn money. And it took me a long time to learn to love it. And what I loved was telling a story. I tried to avoid making plays or films that weren't telling a story that I felt was important. I discovered in the process that it makes you more empathic because you have to enter someone else's reality and learn to see through many other people's eyes. ~ Jane Fonda
Jane Grey quotes by Jane Fonda
