Behold,' said the Voice, 'earthly beauty. It is nothing but seeming, for to the uninstructed eye the world appears fruitful and sweet, yet in it is nothing but a pile of skulls, showing where others were lost as they went before. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
There had been a frozen mist here, and the trees were spun into feathers. Their fragile brilliance made me wonder why, into the spotlessness of Creation, God had seen fit to introduce soiling, twisting, rampaging, Man. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
I mean that repeated offences, even when they secure forgiveness, drive out love. And from that I came to say that one may compel obedience but never love. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
I pictured Becs and myself together, squabbling, but always over little things, while I rotted away at the core from love of Ferris.
It was hopeless.
'Here.' I laid my hands on the table, palms up, and jerked my head at them, 'put yours on top.'
Ferris did not move.
'Please,' I said.
He laid his cold hands on mine and I curled my fingers, folding his within them.
'Now,' I said, 'I've neither accepted nor refused. Speak it out plainly, tell me and I'll do it.'
He cried, 'Don't put it onto me! Choose for yourself.'
'This is choosing. Tell Aunt I will do whatever you'll have me do, and that's my answer.' I kept hold of his fingers. We stayed there silent and motionless for some time, while the candles burnt down.
At last he said quietly, 'It is a lot to give up.'
'Well. My history is bad enough without bigamy,' I replied, at which he smiled but made no reply. The candles were half burnt. I took one and rose.
'Goodnight, Ferris.'
'Goodnight, Jacob. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
Sin is our condition," I said.
"Say rather that love is our rightful condition."
"You talk like
you are a good man! But how can you be good without God?"
He grinned. "Not so good, neither. But what virtue I do have is in me and of me. Men deny the good that comes from themselves, calling it God. So they do with their own evil, calling it the Devil."
I tried to see how this might be.
"There is no Hell, Jacob."
"And the Bible?"
"Was written by men like ourselves."
He was frightening. At the idea of there being no Hell I had felt a breath of something like freedom, but it was illusion. I marvelled at his foolhardiness, feared it, and loved it. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
I followed him up the stairs. I was a fornicator, of unnatural appetite, in thrall to an Atheist. I repeated the words in my head and tried to feel the shock of them, but they remained strange and cruel, far removed from Ferris and me. It was simpler to say I was in love. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
Are you afraid of dying, Ferris?'
'I'm afraid of not living. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
Will you still walk with me?'
'Would you walk with a bad angel? ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
Violent love eats up what it does love, and is mere appetite. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
I wondered at him, so wise and so foolish, to have lived with me all these months and not know that the worst storms break inside a man. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
How did men make themselves loved, I wondered. I had passed all my life with men who were loved but I seemed never to have learnt the lesson. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
The Devil had granted my wish to watch him sleep, but granted it in his usual cruel fashion, making a pain of a pleasure. Yet pleasure there was. I still desired to watch over him, be his dragon against Botts. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
God cuts out our path, makes a groove in the clay with His finger, and we poor blind ants slide down into it. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
I studied the shape of my friend's hands, and how he clasped them. I could smell his skin and hair in the cold air of the church, and stood aching, my face a devout mask stretched over a rotten soul. On ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
Whatever makes a man a beast also renders him pitiable. But it behoves us to be wary of these bestial men despite our compassion, for they frequently turn on their friends. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
Speak to me, Jacob, do not play the tyrant.
Speak to me. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
Quiet. My body melted heavily into the chair; I heard a cart go up the street. The room grew suddenly big with meaning. Something was about to happen, was happening: each object in the room seemed perfect of its kind, its kind being just its one self. The moment split into Eternity and I went with it: I had neither skin nor bones, but flowed into the world, sacred along with everything else, and was lost. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
But what virtue I do have is in me and of me. Men deny the good that comes from themselves, calling it God. So do they with their won evil, calling it the Devil. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
All I could do was to hold on tight to the sides of the chair, and keep myself from sucking his fingers. 'Would ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
I dig and plough at your command,' I replied, 'but you will not tell me how to shit. ~ Maria McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria McCann
They grope before them like blind people and find each the other as they would a door. Almost like children that dread the night, they press close into each other. And yet they are not afraid. There is nothing that might be against them: no yesterday, no morrow; for time is shattered. And they flower from its ruins.
He does not ask: 'Your husband?'
She does not ask: 'Your name?'
For indeed they have found each other, to be unto themselves a new generation.
They will give each other a hundred new names and take them all off again, gently, as one takes an earring off. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Mccann quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
An accordion player posted himself at the curb and played La Paloma. The rug peddlers appeared with silken Keshans over their shoulders. A boy sold pistachios at the tables. It looked as it had always looked - until the newspaper boys came. The papers were almost torn from their hands and a few seconds later the terrace, with all the unfolded papers, appeared as if buried under a swarm of huge, white, bloodless moths sitting on their victims greedily, with noiseless flapping wings. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Maria Mccann quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
Rose, oh pure contradiction, joy
of being No-one's sleep under so many
lids. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Mccann quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Sometimes the very faults of parents produce a tendency to opposite virtues in their children. ~ Maria Edgeworth
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Edgeworth
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come. ~ Maria Weston Chapman
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Weston Chapman
When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education. ~ Maria Montessori
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Montessori
I have two children. I gave up a lot for my career, but I'm very happy for it. I've done what I've always thought was best for me and my family. ~ Maria Das Gracas Silva Foster
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Das Gracas Silva Foster
We must embrace struggle. Every living thing conforms to it. Everything in nature grows and struggles in its own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost, against all resistance. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Mccann quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
You really want my honest opinion?" I ask.
Anton gestures for me to go on. "Please, this is why I hired you, devochka."
I detect a little hint of sarcasm, but I go ahead and say, "I hate restaurants like this."
"Why?" He seems genuinely curious to know why.
"Because - because they're expensive."
"What is the problem? I'm paying for everything."
I shake my head. "It's not that - you see," I lower my voice, " this is where famous people eat."
"Famous?" Anton pretends to look around. "Where?"
"I think that's the guy from that prank show. And there's that guy from those vampire movies. And Maya Findlay."
"Yeah? I don't know who they are."
"Really?" I ask dubiously.
"I'm not into the famous people thing too."
"Really."
"Yes."
"Which is why you only date models who want to become actresses." I notice him giving me a look. "Sorry," I say sheepishly. ~ Maria Malonzo
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Malonzo
Where is it, Rudolf?" she whispers, pressing herself against me. "Tell me where it is! Has a piece of me
been left behind everywhere? In all the mirrors I have looked into? I have seen lots of them, countless ones!
Am I scattered everywhere in them? Has each of them taken some part of me? A thin impression, a thin slice
of me? Have I been shaved down by mirrors like a piece of wood by a carpenter's plane? What is still left of
me?"
I take her by the shoulders. "All of you is still here," I say. "On-the contrary, mirrors add something. They
make it visible and give it to you - a bit of space, a lighted bit of our-self."
"Myself?" She continues to cling to my hand. "But suppose it is not that way? Suppose myself is buried all
over in thousands and thousands of mirrors? How can I get it back? Oh, I can never get it back! It is lost!
Lost! It has been rubbed away like a statue that no longer has a face. Where is my face? Where is my first
face? The one before all the mirrors? The one before they began to steal me!"
"No one has stolen you," I say in desperation. "Mirrors don't steal. They only reflect. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Maria Mccann quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
No, love. You're the only one who has caused me to do the oddest things. You have truly poisoned me. ~ Maria V. Snyder
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria V. Snyder
The old days, they arrive back in the oddest ways, suddenly taut, breaking the surface, a salmon leap. ~ Colum McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Colum McCann
You cannot conceive of the depths of my sorrow, Campbell Maria Cooper." Alicia brought her fist to her mouth and her other hand to the rail of the bed and took a deep breath before she continued. "I will never be the same when you are gone. Things for me will be dim and gray and flat. But there is one thing that will keep me going, Campbell, and that is the belief in my connection to you. This thing. This crazy enmeshed love feeling that I have is real. Like this cup is real. Or this phone is real. And it will not just go away when you do. Okay? Wherever you are going, you will be connected to me by this thing, and you will never, ever be alone, okay? I want you to know that. ~ Wendy Wunder
Maria Mccann quotes by Wendy Wunder
In marriage, the point is not to achieve a rapid union by tearing down and toppling all boundaries. Rather, in a good marriage, each person appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude and thus shows him the greatest faith he can bestow. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Mccann quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
And as the ground gets farther and farther away you swear to yourself that you're going to tell someone how bad it is, you're gonna stop pretending like none of these things are happening, but by the time the ground is coming toward you again you are already polishing your story. ~ Carmen Maria Machado
Maria Mccann quotes by Carmen Maria Machado
When we love each other we are immortal and indestructible like the heartbeat and the rain and the wind. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Maria Mccann quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
Don't ever think of any person who's trying to hurt you and harm you. Obviously, they don't deserve your love, but you don't deserve to feel hate because of them. Ignore them like they don't exist, but do what you can to protect yourself. ~ Maria Karvouni
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Karvouni
Sir Patrick Rackrent lived and died a monument of old Irish hospitality. ~ Maria Edgeworth
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Edgeworth
There is only one way: Go within. Search for the cause, find the impetus that bids you write. Put it to this test: Does it stretch out its roots in the deepest place of your heart? Can you avow that you would die if you were forbidden to write? Above all, in the most silent hour of your night, ask yourself this: Must I write? Dig deep into yourself for a true answer. And if it should ring its assent, if you can confidently meet this serious question with a simple, "I must," then build your life upon it. It has become your necessity. Your life, in even the most mundane and least significant hour, must become a sign, a testimony to this urge. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Mccann quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Through machinery, man can exert tremendous powers almost as fantastic as if he were the hero of a fairy tale. Through machinery, man can travel with an ever increasing velocity; he can fly through the air and go beneath the surface of the ocean. ~ Maria Montessori
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Montessori
Happy is the bride the sun shines on. ~ C.S. Forester
Maria Mccann quotes by C.S. Forester
If there is nothing you can share with other people, try to be close to Things. Things will not abandon you. The nights are still there, and the winds that move through the trees and across many lands. Everything in the world of Things and animals is filled with being, of which you are part. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Mccann quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
But you have a vision. You put a frame around it. You sign your name anyway. That's the risk. That's the leap. ~ Maria Semple
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Semple
We are not permitted to linger, even with what is most intimate. From images that are full, the spirit plunges on to others that suddenly must be filled; there are no lakes till eternity. Here, falling is best. To fall from the mastered emotion into the guessed-at, and onward. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Mccann quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Her smile colud've broen glass. ~ Colum McCann
Maria Mccann quotes by Colum McCann
Shane: "Our whole lives are in a mess right now, and I don't know how to fix it."
Alyssa: "It'll get better, I promise."
Shane: "You can't promise that... ~ Maria M.
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria M.
never forget your IN RELATION SHIP, because after all the drama, you"ll still end up running bact to them. ~ Maria Aurora
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Aurora
If, one day, a milky portal had opened up in your bedroom and an older version of yourself had stepped out and told you what you know now, would you have listened? ~ Carmen Maria Machado
Maria Mccann quotes by Carmen Maria Machado
Let everyone else travel all over the world. What they're searching for in Los Angeles and New York and everywhere else is something I already have right here in Seattle. I want it all to myself. ~ Maria Semple
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Semple
When I do Pilates, or when I do work out, I feel better all day. Yet I still struggle to keep it on my schedule. ~ Maria Bello
Maria Mccann quotes by Maria Bello
I love you, Bee," Mom said. "I'm Trying. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. ~ Maria Semple
