Why must a girl pay so dearly for her least escape," Lily muses as she contemplates the prospect of being bored all afternoon by Percy Grice, dull but undeniably rich, "on the bare chance that he might ultimately do her the honor of boring her for life? ~ Edith Wharton
Lily Bart quotes by Edith Wharton
How beautiful it was
and how she loved beauty! She had always felt that her sensibility in this direction made up for certain obtuseness of feeling of which she was less proud. ~ Edith Wharton
Lily Bart quotes by Edith Wharton
The noble buoyancy of her attitude, its suggestion of soaring grace, revealed the touch of poetry in her beauty that Selden always felt in her presence, yet lost the sense of when he was not with her. Its expression was now so vivid that for the first time he seemed to see before him the real Lily Bart, divested of all the trivialities of her little world, and catching for a moment a note of that eternal harmony of which
her beauty was a part. ~ Edith Wharton
Lily Bart quotes by Edith Wharton
He had a confused sense that she must have cost a great deal to make, that a great many dull and ugly people must, in some mysterious way, have been sacrificed to produce her. ~ Edith Wharton
Lily Bart quotes by Edith Wharton
But he could never be long without trying to find a reason for what she was doing ... ~ Edith Wharton
Lily Bart quotes by Edith Wharton
You asked me just now for the truth
well, the truth about any girl is that once she's talk about she's done for; and the more she explains her case the worse it looks. ~ Edith Wharton
Lily Bart quotes by Edith Wharton
Lily might be icy on the outside, but inside she was Vesuvius. ~ Charlaine Harris
Lily Bart quotes by Charlaine Harris
The Buried Bishop's a gridlocked scrum, an all-you-can-eat of youth: 'Stephen Hawking and the Dalai Lama, right; they posit a unified truth'; short denim skirts, Gap and Next shirts, Kurt Cobain cardigans, black Levi's; 'Did you see that oversexed pig by the loos, undressing me with his eyes?'; that song by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl booms in my diaphragm and knees; 'Like, my only charity shop bargains were headlice, scabies, and fleas'; a fug of hairspray, sweat and Lynx, Chanel No. 5, and smoke; well-tended teeth with zero fillings, revealed by the so-so joke - 'Have you heard the news about Schrodinger's Cat? It died today; wait - it didn't, did, didn't, did…'; high-volume discourse on who's the best Bond … Sartre, Bart Simpson, Barthes's myths; 'Make mine a double'; George Michael's stubble; 'Like, music expired with the Smiths'; and futures all starry; fetal think-tankers, judges, and bankers…power and money, like Pooh Bear and honey, stick fast - I don't knock it, it's me; and speaking of loins, 'Has anyone told you you look like Demi Moore from Ghost?'; roses are red and violets are blue, I've a surplus of butter and Ness is warm toast. ~ David Mitchell
Lily Bart quotes by David Mitchell
Infinity is just time on an ego trip. ~ Lily Tomlin
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Tomlin
I jus luvs me some lily white turkey
meats".

~R. Alan Woods [2012] ~ R. Alan Woods
Lily Bart quotes by R. Alan Woods
The world of the flapper - live free, wild and young - that energy is intoxicating. It's nice to inject that into the more controlled 'Downton' way of living. ~ Lily James
Lily Bart quotes by Lily James
I love hats, I'm such a fan of hats. You don't wear a fascinator everywhere you go, but there are ways to incorporate old Hollywood nuances into your looks today but also edge it up. ~ Lily Collins
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Collins
I was always empathetic with animals. It's a terrible and self-involved point of view that we do something because someone else is exploitable. ~ Lily Tomlin
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Tomlin
With Tommy, gift-giving is an art form. Whatever he bestows on you is more likely than not going to be something absurd and cheap and tacky, but the way he offers it always makes you feel as if you were receiving an oblation. I don't know how he does it. It's a bizarre kind of magic; he somehow makes you believe that the useless thing in his outstretched hands is actually a chunk of his heart that he's torn out, just for you. He holds it up for your inspection, and it glows between his fingers like a candle in a cave. And as if that weren't enough, he makes it absolutely clear that he doesn't want anything in return, not even your gratitude, so all you can do is stand there with a stupefied look on your face and humbly accept what he's vouchsafing you. ~ Bart Yates
Lily Bart quotes by Bart Yates
Time crawls in the silence. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tock. Tock. Tock. ~ Emily McKay
Lily Bart quotes by Emily McKay
I love MySpace; it's done an amazing job for me and it's been insane over the past couple of weeks, but I'm not a poster girl for them. ~ Lily Allen
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Allen
the funny thing about perception. I will never be able to experience the words the way you will, and you'll never see them the way I do. ~ Lily Paradis
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Paradis
Kiss me goodbye now. And make it impressive. I have issues with my short term memory. - Lily, Seers of Light ~ Jennifer DeLucy
Lily Bart quotes by Jennifer DeLucy
I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would no longer be enamelled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our lord's living garden. ~ Therese De Lisieux
Lily Bart quotes by Therese De Lisieux
I can't actually think of a job where I was relaxed the whole time. I don't think I would want to do that job. When I break into a cold sweat when I'm reading, I think, 'Oh good. That's what's supposed to be happening.' ~ Lily Rabe
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Rabe
By August 2008, we had left Voikovskaya and moved into a wooden dacha in the artists' colony of Sokol in north-west Moscow. The house was a haven amid the madness of the city: lily of the valley grew near our front gate, Virginia creeper decked the green picket fence. ~ Luke Harding
Lily Bart quotes by Luke Harding
Well, I guess I can wait two weeks then."
"for what?"
"to ask her out ~ Richelle Mead
Lily Bart quotes by Richelle Mead
No, I won't ever write another 'Lily Bard.' I said everything I had to say about Lily. ~ Charlaine Harris
Lily Bart quotes by Charlaine Harris
You don't want me to feel obligated? Well, I'm sorry, Lily. I am here
because I feel obligated." He brought her hand to his chest, pressing her
palm flat against his rapidly thumping pulse. "I'm obligated by my heart. It's
decided you're essential to my existence, you see. And it's threatening to go out on labor strike if I don't make you mine this very day. So yes. I am here on bended knee, acting from a deep, undeniable sense of obligation. I am, quite simply, yours." He swallowed hard. "If you'll have me. ~ Tessa Dare
Lily Bart quotes by Tessa Dare
I'm holding a media mutiny. ~ Bart Scott
Lily Bart quotes by Bart Scott
I knew how to do this before I met you, Lily pad. I was born knowing how to kiss you. How to touch you. How to fuck you. ~ Nicole French
Lily Bart quotes by Nicole  French
...and I wonder if my lineage is one of women shrinking, making space for the entrance of men into their lives, not knowing how to fill it back up once they leave. I have been taught accommodation. ~ Lily Myers
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Myers
He walked on down the dark, empty street. Suddenly an idea came to him. Immediately, with his whole being, he knew it was true. He had glimpsed a new and improbable explanation for the atomic phenomena that up until now had seemed so hopelessly inexplicable; abysses had suddenly changed into bridges. What clarity and simplicity! This idea was astonishingly graceful and beautiful. It seemed to have given birth to itself – like a white water-lily appearing out of the calm darkness of a lake. He gasped, reveling in its beauty…
And how strange, he thought suddenly, that this idea should have come to him when his mind was far away from anything to do with science, when the discussions that so excited him were those of free men, when his words and the words of his friends had been determined only by freedom, by bitter freedom. ~ Vasily Grossman
Lily Bart quotes by Vasily Grossman
Wisdom is referred to as "she" - or even as "Lady Wisdom" - because the Greek word for wisdom is feminine); ~ Bart D. Ehrman
Lily Bart quotes by Bart D. Ehrman
May you love blossom like a lily. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Lily Bart quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Although, fanciful's origin circa 1627 made me still love the word, even if I'd ruined its applicability to my connection with Snarl. (I mean DASH!) Like, I could totally see Mrs. Mary Poppencock returning home to her cobblestone hut with the thatched roof in Thamesburyshire, Jolly Olde England, and saying to her husband, "Good sir Bruce, would it not be wonderful to have a roof that doesn't leak when it rains on our green shires, and stuff?" And Sir Bruce Poppencock would have been like, "I say, missus, you're very fanciful with your ideas today." To which Mrs. P. responded, "Why, Master P., you've made up a word! What year is it? I do believe it's circa 1627! Let's carve the year
we think
on a stone so no one forgets. Fanciful! Dear man, you are a genius. I'm so glad my father forced me to marry you and allow you to impregnate me every year. ~ Rachel Cohn
Lily Bart quotes by Rachel Cohn
It's weird, the idea of someone else playing my dad, but weirdly nice. ~ Lily James
Lily Bart quotes by Lily James
When I recieve a book you deserve two
when I receive a hug you deserve 20 more
when I recieve a meal you deserve 3 extra meals
be thankful for what you have for someday it will all be gone. ~ Lily Armstrong
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Armstrong
I honestly don't like Photoshop. I think when people Photoshop things, all of a sudden you're like, 'That's not even me anymore.' It takes away the natural beauty of a person. I think Gisele [Bundchen] had just said something like there's no more rawness, like the little quirks. You know, I have a gap in my teeth and sometimes people take it away. But I'm like, 'I love my teeth.' You know, that's me. ~ Lily Aldridge
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Aldridge
The brambles and the thorns grew thick and thicker in a ticking thicket of bickering crickets. Farther along and stronger, bonged the gongs of a throng of frogs, green and vivid on their lily pads. From the sky came the crying of flies, and the pilgrims leaped over a bleating sheep creeping knee-deep in a sleepy stream, in which swift and slippery snakes slid and slithered silkily, whispering sinful secrets. ~ James Thurber
Lily Bart quotes by James Thurber
My work cuts through racial, class, geographic, and ethnic separations to directly connect to the heart, mind, and emotion with people. ~ Lily Yeh
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Yeh
You're home!" she said as she rushed through the front door. "Because I have some wonderful news, and I have to - Cody, don't just throw your jacket there; hang it up on the - Astor, for God's sake, don't slam the door like that. Here, take the baby," she said to me, thrusting Lily Anne in my direction and turning away again so rapidly that I had to lurch forward to grab the baby, spilling a quarter of a cup of coffee as I did. Rita ~ Jeff Lindsay
Lily Bart quotes by Jeff Lindsay
We've all heard about space and landing on the moon, but somehow it's a very tom-boyish adventure. It's planting the flag on the moon by Neil Armstrong, and it has this very male-hero edge to it. ~ Lily Koppel
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Koppel
Sometimes a beautiful woman had to do nothing more than smile to make you forget about any ugliness. ~ Bart Hopkins
Lily Bart quotes by Bart Hopkins
No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up. ~ Lily Tomlin
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Tomlin
It was then that I felt the full gravity of his profession. This was a real warrior, with real principles. Not a bang-bang Hollywood type, not a bendable dress-up doll in a hot uniform. A soldier, a soul. Life and death decisions were not an academic exercise for him, and he was not playing at this. ~ Lily Burana
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Burana
It was almost as if he was giving her his silence, so that all of her anger had a place to go. ~ Jodi Lynn Anderson
Lily Bart quotes by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Oh, Lily," He says shaking his head. "I know about love. About wanting and dreaming and wishing with every part of your soul. I know enough to reconize the parts that are real and teh parts that are only in my fantasy." Ge turns his head slightly to face me,
and I find myself saying,"L-like what?"
"Like when she cries and my heart tears in to little shreds, and all I can think of is making her forget the source of her sadness." His face is blank, emotionless. his words -and the underlying emotion bombarding me through the bond- more than make up for it. "That's real."
my voice is barely a whisper when I ask, "And fantasy?"
"Believing she'll ever feel the same way. ~ Tera Lynn Childs
Lily Bart quotes by Tera Lynn Childs
No matter what I've endured in the past, what I've put myself through, or what others have done to me, I have the ability and the will to move forward. I will not give up. I will not undervalue or underestimate my capabilities. ~ Lily Collins
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Collins
I'm not against people buying clothes; I think clothes are wonderful, and I'm very materialistic myself - but there's a way of finding a compromise. I just think we can buy less and pay more, to make sure people aren't being exploited. ~ Lily Cole
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Cole
It's kind of fun to be a clown. I've always played the clown. The clowns come on, get the biggest, juiciest laughs, and then leave. ~ Roger Bart
Lily Bart quotes by Roger Bart
It was only a button. It was only a bit of thread. From a wrinkled blue dress I had once undone. ~ Lily King
Lily Bart quotes by Lily King
When I was in high school and college, my other real focus was, actually, fiction writing. So in college, I had done all these seminars with these various writers-in-residence. ~ Lily Rabe
Lily Bart quotes by Lily Rabe
I tried to talk about it to Lily, to make her see that for once, I'd earned a feeling. [p. 174] ~ Sue Miller
Lily Bart quotes by Sue Miller
Well, I don't know no woman of breeding. (Bart)
And I am sure the ladies of the world over are now breathing a collective sigh of relief. (Henri) ~ Kinley MacGregor
Lily Bart quotes by Kinley MacGregor
Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair ~ Jodi Lynn Anderson
