And John Kearns whispered into my ear: "Do you see it now? *You* are the nest. *You* are the hatchling. *You* are the chrysalis. *You* are the progeny. *You* are the rot that falls from the stars. All of us
you and I and poor, dear Pellinore. Behold the face of the magnificum, child. And despair."
Though I was sickened by the sight, I looked. In the bower of the beast at the top of the world, I beheld the face of the magnificum, and I did not turn away. ~ Rick Yancey
John Kearns quotes by Rick Yancey
It is a very thin line between us and the abyss, Will Henry,' he said. 'For most it is like that line out there, where the sea meets the sky. They see it. They cannot deny the evidence of their eyes, but they never cross it. They cannot cross it; though they chase it for a thousand years, it will forever stay where it is. Do you realize it took our species more than ten millennia to realize that simple fact? That the line is unreachable, that we live on a ball and not on a plate? Most of us do, anyway. Men like Jacob Torrance and John Kearns ... Those kinds of men still live on a plate. Do you understand what I mean?'
I nodded. I thought I did. ~ Rick Yancey
John Kearns quotes by Rick Yancey
The Iraqi military are able to deploy these weapons within 45 minutes of a decision to do so. ~ John Scarlett
John Kearns quotes by John Scarlett
Magic is not something supernatural, but part of the field dynamics of nature. ~ John Myrdhin Reynolds
John Kearns quotes by John Myrdhin Reynolds
Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement! ~ John Piper
John Kearns quotes by John Piper
In the field of outdoor sports, the American boy is easily capable of devising his own amusements, and until some proof is adduced that baseball is not his invention, I protest against this systematic effort to rob him of his dues. ~ John Montgomery Ward
John Kearns quotes by John Montgomery Ward
No, never mind, I didn't think so. Mead, Dante's theme is man-not a man.' Lowell said finally with a mild patience that he reserved only for students. "The Italians forever twitch at Dante's sleeves trying to make him say he is of their politics and their way of thinking. Their way indeed! To confine it to Florence or Italy is to banish it from the sympathies of mankind. We read Paradise Lost as a poem but Dante's Comedy as a chronicle of our inner lives. Do you boys know of Isaiah 38:10 ~ Matthew Pearl
John Kearns quotes by Matthew Pearl
There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords. ~ John Muir
John Kearns quotes by John Muir
The hardest thing in practice is finding enough time to think about design. ~ John McAslan
John Kearns quotes by John McAslan
Public-policy-wise, if you want to be consistent, crude oil is a bulk commodity, and you should be able to export it. I would rather the crude go to U.S. refineries to get refined and then export the refined product because we get double, triple the money. ~ John Shimkus
John Kearns quotes by John Shimkus
As soon as you give your heart to something new you will immediately be able to think in a way that is new. ~ John De Ruiter
John Kearns quotes by John De Ruiter
I certainly wouldn't want to be the man who was compared to John Ritter through my eyes. ~ Amy Yasbeck
John Kearns quotes by Amy Yasbeck
You never fail if you know in your heart that you did the best of which you are capable. I did my best. That is all I could do. Are you going to make mistakes? Of course. But it is not failure if you make the full effort. ~ John Wooden
John Kearns quotes by John Wooden
When I finally write the first sentence, I want to know everything that happens, so that I am not inventing the story as I write it - rather, I am remembering a story that has already happened. ~ John Irving
John Kearns quotes by John Irving
....I'd skimmed along life like a surfer, mistaking speed for direction. I'd feigned to be pressing forward when I was really running away ~ John Johnson
John Kearns quotes by John Johnson
The principal difference between an adventurer and a suicide is that the adventurer leaves himself a margin of escape (the narrower the margin, the greater the adventure). ~ John Irving
John Kearns quotes by John Irving
But as we shall see, Roosevelt, through a combination of events and influences, fell deeper and deeper into the toils of various revolutionary operators, not because he was interested in revolution but because he was interested in votes. ~ John T. Flynn
John Kearns quotes by John T. Flynn
The Americans are just more enthusiastic and more likely to engage in hyperbole. ~ John Cleese
John Kearns quotes by John Cleese
For all Men would be Cowards if they durst:
And Honesty's against all common Sense. ~ John Wilmot
John Kearns quotes by John Wilmot
Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. And however undramatic the pursuit of peace, that pursuit must go on.
[Address before the United Nations, September 20 1963] ~ John F. Kennedy
John Kearns quotes by John F. Kennedy
You can change your tomorrow if you do something today. Few people understand how the way you live today impacts your tomorrow. Today is the only time we have within our grasp, yet many people let it slip through their fingers, recognizing neither its value nor potential. If we want to do something with our lives, then we must make today matter, because that's where tomorrow's success lies. ~ John C. Maxwell
John Kearns quotes by John C. Maxwell
It took me a lifetime of glimpses, but now I see you completely - did I tell you you're beautiful? so kind to animals, children and me ... ~ John Geddes
John Kearns quotes by John Geddes
I listen and talk to God daily. ~ John Galliano
John Kearns quotes by John Galliano
Clark had always been fond of beautiful objects, and in his present state of mind, all objects were beautiful. He stood by the case and found himself moved by every object he saw there, by the human enterprise each object had required. Consider the snow globe. Consider the mind that invented those miniature storms, the factory worker who turned sheets of plastic into white flakes of snow, the hand that drew the plan for the miniature Severn City with its church steeple and city hall, the as**sembly-line worker who watched the globe glide past on a conveyer belt somewhere in China. Consider the white gloves on the hands of the woman who inserted the snow globes into boxes, to be packed into larger boxes, crates, shipping containers. Consider the card games played belowdecks in the evenings on the ship carrying the containers across the ocean, a hand stubbing out a cigarette in an overflowing ashtray, a haze of blue smoke in dim light, the cadences of a half dozen languages united by common profanities, the sailors' dreams of land and women, these men for whom the ocean was a gray-line horizon to be traversed in ships the size of overturned skyscrapers. Consider the signature on the shipping manifest when the ship reached port, a signature unlike any other on earth, the coffee cup in the hand of the driver delivering boxes to the distribution center, the secret hopes of the UPS man carrying boxes of snow globes from there to the Severn City Airport. Clark shook the globe and he ~ Emily St. John Mandel
John Kearns quotes by Emily St. John Mandel
I well knew that to propose something which would be called extreme, was the true way not to impede but to facilitate a more moderate experiment. ~ John Stuart Mill
John Kearns quotes by John Stuart Mill
No man can give the impression that he himself is clever and that Christ is mighty to save. Self-exaltation and Christ-exaltation can't go together. ~ John Piper
John Kearns quotes by John Piper
Make a point to continually search for a better way of doing things, even when things are going well, to ensure that a better alternative has not been overlooked and to keep your creative talents in practice. ~ John C. Maxwell
John Kearns quotes by John C. Maxwell
Tiny and I are talking again ... but there's nothing inside our words. Honestly, talking to him is worse than not. Talking to him makes me feel like I'm drowning in lukewarm water. ~ John Green
John Kearns quotes by John Green
The author writes that key FDR aide Harry Hopkins was in such poor health near the end of his boss's second term that one observer said he didn't know how Hopkins could possibly report to the president. But, at the onset of war and genuine national emergency, Hopkins was animated with a new sense of purpose. ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin
John Kearns quotes by Doris Kearns Goodwin
We can't test these absolute limits on humans. We can't blast them with sound. However, we can do that to animals because they don't have the same political base that we do. ~ John Baird
John Kearns quotes by John Baird
Perhaps twenty minutes later he realized she had gone to sleep. He quietly removed his now stiff arm, then turned away. It must have woken her a little After a moment he felt her turn as well and lay a hand, instinctively, like a sleeping wife, across his hips; as if, in some dream, he was the one who escaped. ~ John Fowles
John Kearns quotes by John Fowles
Maybe you've tumbled a world for me. And I don't know what I can build in my world's place. ~ John Steinbeck
John Kearns quotes by John Steinbeck
