Temporal grace,' said the Doctor. 'No weapons can function inside the TARDIS – even something as simple as a spear. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Eric Seven does not believe in love at first sight.
He corrects himself.
Even in that moment, the moment that it happens, he fees his journalist's brain make a correction, rubbing out a long-held belief, writing a new one in its place.
He did not believe in love at first sight. He thinks he might do so now. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
If. The smallest word, which raises the biggest questions. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
There never was a story that was happy through and through. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
People think I have so much faith in myself, but I have none. I have no faith in myself, or in what I can do, and yet people think I can do anything I want.
That's how I seem, but it's an illusion. It's an act, nothing more. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Slowly he had learned that there is a world beneath the visible one, and that people, some people at least, have a different life, that they carry inside them. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
I might have been normal but if I was I cannot remember that time. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Maybe he knows noting. Maybe it's that he feels it all, but whatever is happening to him, he understands that he lived before. He lived other lives, in different times. And why not? It's something he has often wondered about, sitting on the train in the morning, looking from the corner of his eye at the other commuter, wondering why.
Why am I not living that person's live? That man, there, with the sharp suit and the slightly stupid tie? Or that scruffy guy with the headphones? Or that woman, a little pregnant?
Often, as he sat fiddling with OneDegree, he has wondered why this life is the one he's had, and not one of the thousands of contacts passing through his device, or one of the countless others that could have been his.
Now he knows. He has been others. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
All he felt was that same feeling he'd always had, that he was looking for something, whose name he didn't even know, and yet now, in the dark of the night and with his father had gone to wherever his mother had gone before, with Anna sitting beside him, he suddenly knew its name. Home. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
I'm just a girl in a nurse's uniform, but that doesn't mean I know how to save these men, and they- they are men in uniforms, but that doesn't mean they know how to die. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
And that was how the young writer found love, just when he had stopped looking for it. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Secondly, I continued my education in a more important way,
through the observation of everyone around me,
because nothing is more important to learn in life than
the interaction of a human being with another human being. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
If a life can be ruined in a single moment, a moment of betrayal, or violence, or ill luck, then why can a life not also be saved, be worth living, be made, by just a few pure moments of perfection? ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Edward looks wistfully at Mat, and while the girls are pretty, Nancy particularly, it is Mat who thinks about the most, because he wished he'd been more like Mat when he was young.
If he'd been more like Mat, more confident, maybe he wouldn't have missed his chances in life, chances that sometimes only came along once. Sometimes there are single moments, he thinks, where your path divides, your life can go one way, so very different from another. Work out well, rather than be a failure. And if you miss those chances, he thinks, well, is that it? ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
If I were dead, I wouldn't be sad, and I wouldn't be glad, because I wouldn't be. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
She risked her life to put your mind at rest,' Evgenia said. 'How great is love! ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
He wonders if a few moments of utter and total joy can be worth a lifetime of struggle.
Maybe, he thinks. Maybe, if they're the right moments. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Almost everyone has an inborn need to create; in most people this is thwarted and forgotten, and the drive is pushed into other activities that are less threatening, less difficult, and less rewarding. In some people, that need to create is transmuted into the need to destroy. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
He had learned something already in the course of his journey. If you carried a closed wooden box, people want to know what is in it. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
One final time I told myself I wasn't abducting my little brother. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
The first thought was this: that he was a foolish old man, because all his life he'd been looking for something and it was only when Anna joined him in the bar that evening that he realized that home is not something you find outside yourself; home is something you carry inside you, and it's made from the memories of the people you love, and the people who have loved you. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Yet every writer worth a good-god damn knows this too, for it is graven into each of us: no one cares for beauty. Not in fiction. Not on its own, not pure, untroubled beauty; not in fiction. [...] For here is the only real difference between the life of reality and the life of fiction. Fiction only works when the beauty is tainted by pain. For fiction is not about life; it's about the troubles of life. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
You have life written all over you. Some people bear tragedy on their faces; loss, death, whatever it might be. But you have life. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
You know they used to use nails," he says. "In the old days. Poor folks still do. Not the best idea, a nail in a coffin." Bowman says nothing, but in his mind, he asks, Coffin? The man nods, smiling. He picks up something now, and shows it to Bowman, for inspection. It is a long brass screw. "That's better," he says. "Better than a nail. Notice anything about it?" Bowman shakes his head. "The screw runs widdershins. Back to front. 'Gainst the clock. All the other screws in the world turn the other way to this one. But coffin screws are different. " Bowman forms a word in his mind. Why? The coffin maker smiles. "To stop them from coming back, of course. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
One of the advantages of having a binary vascular system was that he could always pump his blood faster than normal if he chose to, raising his body temperature at will. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
The time for princes and tsars and grand duchesses and especially holy madmen was gone. In its place came a world of war and revolution, of tanks and telephones, of murder and assassination. The bear had already become what it had been waiting to be, and the men who set it on its journey changed too. Lev became Trotsky, Vladimir took the name Lenin, and they stepped into a bright and furious modern world; blood red, and snow white. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
He'd watch the loading and unloading of boats; the building of houses, shacks, and huts; and above all, the people, each carrying a bundle of stories inside them. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Why were there some people who seemed so sure of themselves that it made him feel small and ignorant by comparison, as if they had a script to life with all the answers on it? He felt he didn't even know the questions. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
There's always a third choice in life. Even if you think you're stuck between two impossible choices, there's always a third way. You just have to look for it. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
If I can see the future, then what does that mean? It would be like knowing the end of a story right from the start, almost as if you were reading it backwards.
And who wants to know how their own story ends? ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
A story has its purpose and its path. It must be told correctly for it to be understood. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
It was like a new kind of vision, seeing with eyes as keen as scalpel blades, that cut away desires and emotions and wishful thinking and left only what was fact. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Love, sing, cry, and fight, but all the time, seek to know everything you can about the earth upon which you stand, till your time is done. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
They said something funny. They said, 'Even God leaves on the last boat from Nome.' What does that mean? ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Yes. You see, the whole nature, shape and even the modern blue pigment of the TARDIS is so deeply unfamiliar to the primitive mind that, although the optic nerve registers its presence, the brain cannot decode what it is seeing. The primitive visual cortex is unable to relay information about it consciously to the viewer. In effect, even though her chameleon circuit is still damaged, she's as good as invisible. She'll be just fine. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Remember this: every man has to find out for himself in what particular fashion he can be saved. I believe that. You just have to find out what it is you're looking for. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
...people burn books, and that they ban books is, in a way, a good sign. It's a good sign because it means books have power. When people burn books, it's because they're afraid of what's inside them... ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
You will never find it," his ghost says. "What?" "What you are looking for. You want to go back to the start. You want to go back to where you began. You want to find the happiness you once had. But you can never get there, because even if you somehow found it, you yourself would be different. You would have changed, from your journey alone, from the passing of time, if nothing else. You can never make it back to where you began, you can only ever climb another turn of the spiral stair. Forever. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
Cold didn't worry him unduly. Given that his normal body temperature was way below human levels, the dip in the river had been no more than refreshing, certainly not deadly. ~ Marcus Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Sedgwick
And they are ignorant that the purpose of the sword is to save every man from slavery. ~ Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
things: and the vanity of praise, and the inconstancy ~ Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Aurelius
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fascism is the cult of organised murder , invented by the arch-enemies of society . It tends to destroy civilization and revert man to his most barbarous state. Mussolini and Hitler might well be called the devils of an age, for they are playing hell with civilization. ~ Marcus Garvey
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Garvey
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Freedom is participation in power. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
To live long, live slowly. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every situation I have ever been in I have been trained for, and I dealt with it to the best of my abilities. ~ Marcus Luttrell
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Luttrell
Who's your friend?"
I practically leaped into the air and spun around to see that Kate had walked up behind me. I slapped the back of my hand against Marcus's chest, hard enough to force him back a step. "This is Marcus. Ignore him. He's a bad seed."
As she checked him out, that growing smile of hers told me she was up to no good. She held out a hand for him to take. "Hi. I'm Kate. I'm a bad seed, too. ~ Courtney Allison Moulton
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Courtney Allison Moulton
I see you're in a hurry to get someplace. It's a great mistake to hurry." "Why?" Joe asked, puzzled by almost everything the traveler said. "Because the grave's our destination," Mr. Sedgwick said. "Those who hurry usually get to it quicker than those who take their time. ~ Larry McMurtry
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Larry McMurtry
No phase of life, whether public or private, can be free from duty. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
He was right. Love enfeebled a man. She saw this with Marcus and Drusus. It could possess, enrage, and overcome reason. It could drive vengeance and inspire passion and courage. She smiled as she lit another lamp and set up her handloom. For, unlike a man, love gave a woman power. A night moth had become a patrician's mistress. The impossible had been made possible. ~ Elisabeth Storrs
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Elisabeth Storrs
Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
I look upon the pleasure which we take in a garden as one of the most innocent delights in human life ... It gives us a great insight into the contrivance and wisdom of Nature, and suggests innumerable subjects for meditation. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
What's the story here, Karl?' Kevin asked.
'Hard as it is to believe, these people are slaves,' Karl explained.
'Slaves?' I asked skeptically.
'Well, you might not call them that but they are virtual slaves. They don't receive any pay. They are dealt with harshly. They don't have anywhere else to go'
'What about the government? Don't they help?' Marcus asked.
'The government?' Karl laughed. 'The government my eye! Those generals stay in power several years, make a bundle smuggling drugs, and once they're millionaires, they retire. Some other lousy generals take over from them, and history repeats itself. You think they give a shit what happens to a few lousy Indians? ~ Yossi Ghinsberg
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Yossi Ghinsberg
Look to the essence of a thing, whether it be a point of doctrine, of practice, or of interpretation. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Weekends are sacred for me. They're the perfect time to relax and spend time with family and friends. ~ Marcus Samuelsson
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Samuelsson
Bookstores are a giant present waiting to be unwrapped, full of stories and discoveries and lives. ~ Marcus Samuelsson
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Samuelsson
Whatever time you choose is the right time. Not late, not early. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Aurelius
If wisdom be attainable, let us not only win but enjoy it. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
For no phase of life, whether public or private, whether in business or in the home, whether one is working on what concerns oneself alone or dealing with another, can be without its moral duty; on the discharge of such duties depends all that is morally right, and on their neglect all that is morally wrong in life. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Will you be back?"

"Yes, but I cannot be Leon anymore. My cover is… blown, and I must answer for not informing Zeus of what I have been doing."

"I will probably be grounded." He laughed at his own joke. I just stared at him. "I am Apollo, Alexandria. Zeus can kiss it."

Marcus once again looked like he wanted to crawl under the bed. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
To live each day as though one's last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing - here is the perfection of character. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Aurelius
That we suffer so much today under whatsoever flag we live is proof positive that constitutions and laws, when framed by the early advocates of human liberty, never included and were never intended for us as a people. It is only a question of sheer accident that we happen to be fellow citizens today with the descendants of those who, through their advocacy, laid the foundation for human rights. ~ Marcus Garvey
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Garvey
Second, that everyone, regardless of who they are, will want to be promoted out of the job as soon as possible. ~ Marcus Buckingham
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Buckingham
The swan is not without cause dedicated to Apollo, because foreseeing his happiness in death, he dies with singing and pleasure. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
You know, I grew up with brothers so I'm used to being the only girl. ~ Kyra Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Kyra Sedgwick
If our designs for private houses are to be correct, we must at the outset take note of the countries and climates in which they are built. ~ Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
Worry is a complete circle of inefficient thought whirling about a pivot of fear. To avoid it, consider whether the problem in hand is your business. If it is not, turn to something that is. If it is your business, decide if it is your business now. If so, decide what is best to be done about it. If you know, get busy. If you don't know, find out promptly. Do these things; then rest your case on the determination that, no matter how hard things may turn out to be, you will amek the best of them - and more than that no man can do. Dr. Austen Fox Riggs ~ John Sedgwick
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by John Sedgwick
The best interpreter of the law is custom. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Aurelius
If you want to be clear, act. ~ Marcus Buckingham
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Marcus Buckingham
With painstaking rumination, the tips of his fingers grazed over my neck, a deafening silence. I didn't move as his hand paused at the base of my throat. He listened to the arrhythmic beating of my heart, my pulse thumping beneath his fingers. He kissed me along my neckline and throat. I almost burst apart from the longing. My blood burned for him. ~ Rae Hachton
Marcus Sedgwick quotes by Rae Hachton
The nature of compromise was that no one was happy. That's how you knew a fair deal had been reached. ~ Marcus Sakey
