Okay, how's this? Margery O'Hare, I solemnly promise never to marry you."
"And?"
"And I won't talk about marrying you. Or sing songs about it. Or even think about marrying you."
"Better."
H glanced around him, then lowered his voice, placing his mouth beside her ear so that she squirmed a little. "But I will stop by and do sinful things to that fine body of yours. If you'll allow me."
"How sinful?" She whispered.
"Oh. Bad. Ungodly."
She slid her hand inside his overalls, feeling the faint sheen of sweat on his warm skin. For a moment it was just the two of them. The sounds and scents of the mine receded, and all she could feel was the thumping of her heart, the pulse of his skin against hers, the ever-present drumbeat of her need for him. "God loves a sinner, Sven." She reached up and kissed him, then delivered a swift bite to his lower lip.
"But not as much as I do. ~ Jojo Moyes
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Jojo Moyes
Everything in contemporary society discourages interiority. More and more of our exchanges take place via circuits, and in their very nature those interactions are such as to keep us hovering in the virtual now, a place away from ourselves. ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
People decide how to live their own lives! A scum bastard doesn't have the right to chain anyone down! -Sven to Torneo ~ Kentaro Yabuki
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Kentaro Yabuki
Light can be gentle, dangerous, dreamlike, bare, living, dead, misty, clear, hot, dark, violet, springlike, falling, straight, sensual, limited, poisonous, calm and soft. ~ Sven Nykvist
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Nykvist
There are 86,400 seconds in a day. And in any ONE of them you can decide to CHANGE your life. Tick tock tick tock. ~ Sven Paardekooper
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Paardekooper
Where am I when I am involved in a book? ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
Efficiency is nothing without effectivity. ~ Sven Kohlhaas
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Kohlhaas
Yeah." Sven said. "The stuff she just said. Let's not get all killy. ~ Jesse Petersen
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Jesse Petersen
I often heard this melodious hymn again in days of hardship, and it always affected me painfully. Not as the reproachful warning clang of church bells ringing for service, when I pass a church door without going in, but because the men sang the hymn only when they were out of spirits and considered our position desperate. It seemed as though they would remind me that defeat awaited me, and that this time I had aimed too high. ~ Sven Hedin
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Hedin
Material is more important than method. ~ Sven Kohlhaas
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Kohlhaas
If anything has changed about my reading over the years, it is that I value the state a book puts me in more that I value the specific contents. ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
I read novels to indulge in a concentrated and directed inner activity that parallels -- and thereby tunes up, accentuates -- my own inner life. ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
I often find that a novel, even a well-written and compelling novel, can become a blur to me soon after I've finished reading it. I recollect perfectly the feeling of reading it, the mood I occupied, but I am less sure about the narrative details. It is almost as if the book were, as Wittgenstein said of his propositions, a ladder to be climbed and then discarded after it has served its purpose. ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
We never know, do we, if the future is just more of the present pushed forward, or whether the look and feel, not to mention the fundamental essence of life might not be changing ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
Football is much harder if you don't have the ball. ~ Sven-Goran Eriksson
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven-Goran Eriksson
He took a deep breath of air. Once again he caught a strangeness on the wind, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither odor nor perfume - just strange, and curiously exciting. "Superintendent, what's that smell? Casey noticed it too, the moment Sven opened the door." Armstrong hesitated. Then he smiled. "That's Hong Kong's very own, Mr. Bartlett. It's money. ~ James Clavell
Sven Pfrommer quotes by James Clavell
Eve: I don't understand this word ... "Freedom." Does it mean ... I do what I want?
Sven: Yes.
Eve: Then I wouldn't have to kill anymore?
Sven: No more killing. ~ Kentaro Yabuki
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Kentaro Yabuki
Scholes was England's best football player. It was impossible to take the ball from him, and he never mishit a pass. ~ Sven-Goran Eriksson
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven-Goran Eriksson
Sometimes I feel ashamed at my lack of interest in all the new techniques of modern filmmaking, but I prefer to work with as little equipment as possible. If I have a good lens and a steady camera, that's all I need. ~ Sven Nykvist
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Nykvist
Can we feel contrition for other people's crimes? Can we feel contrition for crimes we have not committed personally, but have subsequently profited from? How can we formulate the criteria for contrition to make them applicable to collective responsibility for historical crimes? Perhaps like this:
We freely admit that our predecessors have done wrong and that we are profiting from it.
We ask forgiveness of those who were wronged and of their descendants.
We promise to do our best to make amends to those who were wronged for the effects that still remain.
The larger the collective, the more diluted the personal responsibility. The less intimate the contrition, the greater the risk that it will just be hollow ceremony. ~ Sven Lindqvist
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Lindqvist
This is Africa, my friends … These folks do things differently." Sven Taxel, who regards himself as an expert on South Africa because he has read Wilbur Smith, Rian Malan and André Brink, tries to calm his fellow congregation members. ~ Harry Kalmer
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Harry Kalmer
The books that matter to me ... are those that galvanize something inside me. I read books to read myself. ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
You know Sven? The man who takes care of the gym?' he asked. He waited till he got a nod from Nicholson. 'Well, if Sven dreamed tonight that his dog died, he'd have a very, very bad night's sleep, because he's very fond of that dog. But when he woke up in the morning, everything would be all right. He'd know it was only a dream.'
Nicholson nodded. 'What's the point exactly?'
The point is if his dog really died, it would be exactly the same thing. Only he wouldn't know it. I mean he wouldn't wake up till he died himself. ~ J.D. Salinger
Sven Pfrommer quotes by J.D. Salinger
It is in adolescence that most of us grasp that life--our own life--is a problem to be solved, that a set of personal unknowns must now be factored together with the frightening variables of experience. The future suddenly appears--it is the space upon which the answers will be inscribed. ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
Yes. I'm going to talk to her. Maybe." Kristoff huffed. "You, Bulda, Grand Pabbie... you act like this is so easy! They may be so-called love experts, but they've never left the valley."
Sven snorted.
"Hi," Anna interrupted, feeling funny. She was suddenly very aware of how she looked, and how he did, too. Kristoff had on a bright blue dress shirt and clean pants. She was wearing a green dress under a flour-and-icing-covered apron. Her braids, which she'd had in for two days, needed refreshing. "Were you looking for me? I mean, not actually looking, but you're here, so maybe... you're hungry?"
He immediately blushed. "What? Yes. I mean, no. I..." He pressed a bunch of carrots into her hands. "I just wanted to give you what I owed you."
"Oh." Anna looked down. "You didn't have to bring me back- oof!"
Sven had bumped into Anna, sending her flying into Kristoff's arms. The two tumbled backward, falling onto several stacks of flour Anna's parents hadn't had a chance to bring into the shop yet.
"This is awkward," Anna said, struggling to get up. 'Not because you're awkward. Because we're... I'm... awkward." She stood up. "You're gorgeous. Wait, what? ~ Jen Calonita
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Jen Calonita
Mexican cinematographers Gabriel Figueroa and Emilio Fernandez were students of both Sergei Eisenstein and Toland. Their exteriors and lighting were gorgeous. And the films Ingmar Bergman did with Sven Nykvist were exceptional. ~ Vilmos Zsigmond
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Vilmos Zsigmond
Through the clouds of smoke I seemed to see all old Asia before me, and the adventures of past years behind me. A carnival of old camp-scenes danced before my mind's eye, expiring like shooting-stars in the night - merry songs which came to an end among other mountains and the dying sound of strings and flutes. And I was surprised that I had not had enough of these things and that I was not tired of the light of camp-fires. ~ Sven Hedin
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Hedin
Sometimes, I think having less money can lead to more artistry. ~ Sven Nykvist
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Nykvist
[On England's elimination from the 2002 World Cup after losing 2-1 to Brazil] Never was Steven Gerrard more noticeably missed, for his ability to pass, rather than kick the ball over 40 yards and for his steely mentality. Not for the first time, Eriksson's substitutions were baffling. The situation cried for Joe Cole, the one England player with a trick to beat a man, but it was the convalescent Kieron Dyer who was sent on, in place of Sinclair. Owen, never fully fit, was withdrawn after 80 minutes, at which stage Eriksson sent on Darius Vassell and Teddy Sheringham in a move which smacked of desperation, rather than tactical nous. From Sven-Goran Eriksson: The Final Reckoning ~ Joe Lovejoy
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Joe Lovejoy
The Norweigian philosopher Tonnesen said that to think about anything but death is evasion. Society, art, culture, the whole of civilisation is nothing but evasion, one great collective self delusion, the intention of which is to make us forget that all the time we are falling through the air, at every moment getting closer to death. ~ Sven Lindqvist
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Lindqvist
When I was growing up, my idea of a writer was someone like Sven Hassel, that mysterious Danish author who wrote thrillers about men clambering over walls and getting tangled in barbed wire. ~ Andrew O'Hagan
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Andrew O'Hagan
The only real failure in life is the failure to try. ~ Sven-Goran Eriksson
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven-Goran Eriksson
Reading, because we control it, is adaptable to our needs and rhythms. We are free to indulge our subjective associative impulse; the term I coin for this is deep reading: the slow and meditative possession of a book. We don't just read the words, we dream our lives in their vicinity. The printed page becomes a kind of wrought-iron fence we crawl through, returning, once we have wandered, to the very place we started. ~ Sven Birkerts
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Sven Birkerts
It was fantastic to dive from the side of the boat into the dark waters, for as you hit them they burst into a firework display of greeny-gold phosphorescence so that you felt as though you were diving into a fire. Swimming under water, people left trails of phosphorescence behind them like a million tiny stars and when finally Leonora, who was the last one to come aboard, hauled herself up, her whole body for a brief moment looked as though it was encased in gold.
"My God, she's lovely," said Larry admiringly, "but I'm sure she's a lesbian. She resists all my advances."
"She's certainly very lovely," said Sven, "so beautiful, in fact, that it almost makes me wish I weren't a homosexual. However, there are advantages to being homosexual."
"I think to be bisexual is best," said Larry, "then you've got the best of both worlds, as it were. ~ Gerald Durrell
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Gerald Durrell
Sven's actual results on the park were not quite good enough to make him a hero, and not quite bad enough to get him the sack, so he left the gentlemen of the press with something of a void. And they abhor a void. Soon the discovery that Sven was in fact a hammer-man of legendary proportions filled the void, until the media came to realise that Sven was that rare thing, a man whose astonishing success with women somehow didn't make him more interesting. ~ Declan Lynch
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Declan Lynch
Let people make fun of magic all they wanted. He knew it was real.
He'd been raised around magic his whole life.
Not that he'd tell Anna that. Why would he when she was so infuriating? She talked on and on and on, not just to him and Sven- to everyone she met!
She was also impulsive and strong-minded, which was how he'd allowed himself to be talked into taking her to Arendelle in the first place. Feisty-pants thought she could stop an eternal winter even though she had no idea how to find Elsa or what she'd say to make her end the madness. ~ Jen Calonita
Sven Pfrommer quotes by Jen Calonita
