Ross Poldark Quotes

The greatest thing is to have someone who loves you and - and to love in return. ~ Winston Graham

Not for the first time he was conscious of emotional lights and shades in his wife that could not be categorized, could not be named as sensuous or emotional as such, perhaps derived from each and gave to each but in essence grew out of a deeper fund of temperament that he still could not altogether apprehend. The simple miner's daughter was not simple in character at all. ~ Winston Graham

Ross said: "I'll tell you what is best for the other man, always, and that's work. Work is a challenge. I've told you – I tried to drink myself out of my misery once. It didn't succeed. Only work did. It's the solvent to so much. Build yourself a wall, even if there's hell in your heart, and when it's done – even at the end of the first day – you feel better. ~ Winston Graham

And what of this young woman beside him, whom he had loved devotedly for four years and still did love? She had given him more than Elizabeth ever could: months of unflawed relationship, unquestioning trust (which he was now betraying in thought) . Oh nonsense! What man did not at some time or another glance elsewhere? And who could complain if it remained at a glance? (Chance was a fine thing). ~ Winston Graham

I'm afraid they would droop. See, they're drooping already. Bluebells are like that. ~ Winston Graham

Everyone," Ross said, "seems a little less concerned than I do. Am I more tender-hearted for others or only tender because of my own conscience?"
"We are not–untender," she said. "Not so. But maybe we are more–resigned. When a man is condemned to death we accept it, though it's sad to do so. We know we cannot change it. You hoped to change it–so it's more of a–a disappointment. You feel you have failed. We don't feel that because we never hoped to succeed. ~ Winston Graham

And Ross again knew himself to be happy-in a new and less ephemeral way than before. He was filled with a queer sense of enlightnment. It seemed to him that all his life had moved to this pinpoint of time down the scattered threads of twenty years; from his old childhood running thoughtless and barefoot in the sun on Hendrawna sands, from Demelza's birth in the squarlor of a mining cottage, from the plains of Virginia and the trampled fairgrounds of Redruth, from the complex impulses which had governed Elizabeth's choice of Francis and from the simple philosophies of Demelza's own faith, all had been animated to a common end-and that end a moment of enlightenment and understanding and completion. Someone--a Latin poet--had defined eternity as no more than this: to hold and possess the whole fullness of life in one moment, here and now, past and present and to come. He thought: if we could only stop here. Not when we get home, not leaving Trenwith, but here, here reaching the top of the hill out of Sawle, dusk wiping out the edges of the land and Demelza walking and humming at my side. ~ Winston Graham

You rarely get a tentpole that has this much emotional depth, this much character to dive into. ~ Gary Ross

Never ask anyone to do what you haven't done before and wouldn't do again. That's a pretty fundamental rule in leadership ... treat them like you treat yourself. Things you don't like, they don't like. ~ Ross Perot

The Black Death was a faithful visitor to Florence. It arrived, on average, once every ten years, always in the summer. ~ Ross King

The arts are obsessional, and obsession is dangerous. It's like a knife in the mind. In some cases - Dylan Thomas comes to mind, and Ross Lockridge and Hart Crane and Sylvia Plath - the knife can turn savagely upon the person wielding it. Art is a localized illness, usually benign - creative people tend to live a long time - sometimes terribly malignant. You use the knife carefully, because you know it doesn't care who it cuts. And if you are wise you sift the sludge carefully ... because some of that stuff may not be dead. ~ Stephen King

Negativity can only feed on negativity. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross

My indulgences are Skittles and rum raisin ice cream. ~ Sanya Richards-Ross

I'm interested in the limits of personality, in the possibility of change, and the saving power of art. Do powerful works of art raise our consciousness to such a degree that we refrain from sliding into moral hazard? Do we take note? Or are we doomed to repetition? ~ Adam Ross

Although he was a young man, younger by far than any of the others, Clare could tell from the gate's whine as it swung out before him that he knew from experience how certain things worked – people, women, complicated gates.

Seeing modern health care from the other side, I can say that it is clearly not set up for the patient. It is frequently a poor arrangement for doctors as well, but that does not mitigate how little the system accounts for the patient's best interest. Just when you are at your weakest and least able to make all the phone calls, traverse the maze of insurance, and plead for health-care referrals is that one time when you have to - your life may depend on it. ~ Ross I. Donaldson

It has always been, and still is, my intention to build a playground in Central Park. ~ Diana Ross

You can drain the life and nuances and complexity out of things by homogenizing them to make everything harmoniously dull, flat, conflict-free, strife-free. ~ Gary Ross

The great seats of power tend to be wide and open, not vertical and soaring. Red Square, Tiananmen Square, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin - all massive but with large open spaces that project an image of might. ~ Gary Ross

The euphoria around economic booms often obscures the possibility for a bust, which explains why leaders typically miss the warning signs. ~ Andrew Ross Sorkin

Ever make mistakes in life? Let's make them birds. Yeah, they're birds now. ~ Bob Ross

The real estate business was something Dad and I could do together. ~ Ross Perot, Jr.

There's always something we don't know anything about." she said. "More than we like to admit. The more we discover, the more we realize we don't fully understand. Our world, our solar system, the universe... it all adds up. I mean, when you think about it-- do we even know that much about ourselves? ~ Ross Montgomery

...in the best society hardly anyone can be certain who their father is. ~ Winston Graham

It is a mistake to restrict oneself in one's pleasures,' Ross said. 'One should never risk being thought a Puritan. ~ Winston Graham

Grief is not just a series of events, stages, or timelines. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through grief. But how long do you grieve for a husband of fifty years, a teenager killed in a car accident, a four-year-old child: a year? Five years? Forever? The loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross

This is a couple that actually loves, respects & appreciates each other. ~ Tracee Ellis Ross

Money costs too much. ~ Ross Macdonald

... Because every ruler celebrated his conquests by setting torch to the nearest library. Did not Julius Caesar incinerate the scrolls in the great library at Alexandria during his campaign against the republicans in Africa? Or General Stilicho, leader of the Vandals, order the burning of the Sybillene prophecies in Rome? ~ Ross King

Big is not beautiful. Big is inefficient. ~ Ross Perot

When you learn your lessons, the pain goes away. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross

When Jesus asked His followers to remember Him in the meal, what if Jesus wasn't referring to the steps taken in a ritual? What if Jesus was saying instead to organize your gatherings just like this one? Make sure you invite tax collectors, traitors, zealots, rough blue-collar workers, and loudmouths. And seat them all at the same table, indicating to them and everyone else that they are welcomed and cherished by God. ~ Josh Ross

I don't want to put words in Geithner's mouth, but I think he is generally against the revolving door of government officials taking jobs with companies that they have overseen or in roles that involve lobbying. At minimum, I'm pretty sure he felt that way about himself. ~ Andrew Ross Sorkin

only if the past is understood can the future be navigated ~ Ross Terrill

When life puts you through a tumbler, it's your choice whether you come out polished or crushed. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross

It was that simple. God spoke to Carey about the needs of the lost in other lands. And Carey wished to respond. After all, was that not what the Bible told him to do? ~ Ross Paterson

My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches,' but in fact, the Rosses were never raggedy. ~ Diana Ross

Let no one read my principles who is not a mathematician," he famously declared (less famous is the fact that the principles he was referring to were his theories of how the aortic pulmonary valve worked). Ironically, he himself was a poor mathematician, often making simple mistakes. In one of his notes he counted up his growing library: "25 small books, 2 larger books, 16 still larger, 6 bound in vellum, 1 book with green chamois cover." This reckoning (with its charmingly haphazard system of classification) adds up to fifty, but Leonardo reached a different sum: "Total: 48," he confidently declared. ~ Ross King

...a husband cannot be guilty of the rape of his wife because the wife hath given up herself in this kind to her husband, which she cannot retract. Sex in matrimony cannot be rape as the defense shall prove in this trial; and that Bode Ross is a fine, understanding and sweet husband who won't perpetrate such a dastardly act. ~ S.A. David

I love how you tremble for me," he whispered. "I love how you're shy until you need me and then you aren't ashamed to tel me what you want." -Evan Ross ~ Cherrie Lynn

The five stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross

Who was this criminal mastermind behind Silk Road? Not at all whom you would expect. Ross Ulbricht was the kind of kid any parent would be proud of, an Eagle Scout from Austin, Texas, who had earned a master's degree in science and engineering. ~ Marc Goodman
