That friend of hers has got to go, though. You're lucky you got stuck with that Dexter guy instead of her.'

'Yeah, but that Dexter couldn't shut his piehole either,' Marlon says. 'I mean, Christ. Artists and writers - let them kill each other off in cage matches; let God sort 'em out. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
All of us have days in our lives, perhaps three or four at the most, when what we might call disparate events converge. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
It is like reading two books, one with each eye, and understanding them both. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
She is mad, and I am sane. To speak to her, even the first word, would be an acknowledgement and an acceptance of her madness, and from there I would have no choice but to follow her down the hole until both of us would be here alone in this ship among the clouds, endlessly circling the earth, our needs carefully ministered to by mechanical men, howling ourselves hoarse and counting off the ticks of the clock before the moon falls out of the sky. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
They do think the world is some kind of science-fiction novel, then. Do you realize how fervently most people will believe in the promises of technology, even when those promises fly in the face of common sense? ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
He falls asleep believing he's been robbed, not knowing that the summoning of demons is almost always unwitting. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
In the moment when he died at my hand he had his own heart's desire - not the actual future, but a hope for the best possible future, one that he could not himself imagine. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Like most modern people, we no longer bothered to make the distinction between events in real life and the dramas of fictional worlds, and so the cliff-hanger that inevitably, reliably ended the hour held just as much or more importance to us as the newspaper that usually went from doorstep to garbage bin unread, and we speculated about the future lives of the characters that populated decayed mansions or desert isles as if they weren't inventions of other human minds. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Certain parts of me became a little bit forgotten, a little bit numb, a little bit dead, and it was nice to have some dead places in me for a little while, to lose a little bit of my broken mind. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
He would talk, and I would talk, and he would talk, and each of our words sounded out the deepest secret depths inside us. There are some forms of love that words can do no justice to. There are some scars that can't be seen. Perfection is in itself an imperfection. He had flaws. He was sick. He needed help. Is not everyone sick, at one time or another? That was part of his beauty, his sickness. If he had not been sick, he would not have been beautiful, in the way that consumptives are, burning themselves up in brilliant flashes of light . . . I don't expect you to be able to understand. Love is strong enough to resurrect the dead. I don't like the word scar, because it implies intent and blame. A soul as powerful as his had to burn. I have never known a love like this. You don't know. I would have done anything at all for him. You don't know. It feels so goddamn good to be needed, to have someone tell you that he has a gaping hole in him whose shape is made to fit you . . . I saw that he was burning a piece of art on me, a signature on my psyche because it filled the hole in his own, and he wanted to make me his. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
We want all possible things made actual, the perpetual possibility of perfection, the best of all futures all at once. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Ah, but can one person ever really know another? Are we not all mysteries to each other? ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Think of it. Going to sleep and waking up later in a science fiction future. It'll be fantastic. The shock and the wonder of it. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
I've had enough of stories and lies; enough of silent scribbling. Enough of gears and engines. Enough of daydreams and false futures. Enough of virgins and dynamos.

One word from you is all I want, she said. Just speak one word, and we'll begin.

Enough of wasting time. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Soon our culture's oldest dreams will be made real. Even the thought of sending a kind of flying craft to the moon is no longer nothing more than a child's fantasy. At this moment in the cities below us, the first mechanical men are being constructed that will have the capability to pilot the ship on its maiden voyage. But no one has asked if this dream we've had for so long will lose its value once it's realized. What will happen when those mechanical men step out of their ship and onto the surface of this moon, which has served humanity for thousands of years as our principal icon of love and madness? When they touch their hands to the ground and perform their relentless analyses and find no measurable miracles, but a dead gray world of rocks and dust? When they discover that it was the strength of millions of boyhood daydreams that kept the moon aloft, and that without them that murdered world will fall, spiraling slowly down and crashing into the open sea? ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
It is time to put down the pen; time to clear the throat. Speaking is a different thing altogether from writing. The spoken word has different properties, and different powers. If I have learned anything from writing down my own tale, it is this. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
But space shrinks when you get old, and things lose their wonder, and the wisest thing to do then is to try your best to sleep. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
But I was not good enough. You should understand this about me - I am not a hero; not one to tap unknown reserves of courage; not one to rise to circumstance. I am the understudy who chokes on his lines when he is forced onto the stage. I am never, ever good enough. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
I have already lost the knowledge of the word whose sound has the shape of a soul. But perhaps it's not too late. Come with me. Hurry now. We still have a chance to be young. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Perhaps my gift to you will be as simple as a single word, whispered into your ear by one of your servants as you lie on your deathbed, a word that solves a final mystery and makes it easy for you to slip quietly into the dark. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
For instance, the cards that I wrote for the company's 'I'd Like to Declare My Confused and Ambiguous Fondness for You' line were all notorious failures, some of which were blamed as the single direct cause of several nasty divorces, and some of their purchasers had actually taken the effort to discover the identity of their anonymous author, sending me hate mail, dead fish, and poorly wrapped, oil-stained packages emitting ticking noises. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Be the time he finds his way out of the chamber and the planetarium, he has become me. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
The palimpsests of molecules need not be overwritten, for machines make once-ephemeral words persist: they collect in gutters; they pile up and require sweeping; they hang in air like morning fog. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
In the middle of all the world's incessant noise, her message was music, and music was a thing that I'd mostly lived my life without. In the ten years since I'd last seen Miranda she'd come to somehow stand in for all the things I didn't have in life that were thought to make us human, all the absent music and touch and sympathy; in my mind she lived a separate life apart from her real one, and there she grew more pure and perfect with each passing day . . . In my mind Miranda had become a miracle. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
And just as he said of me, the thing that his heart desired was not the thing that he professed to want. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
It seems strange and inaccurate, when writing of what oneself once was, to speak of oneself as 'I,' especially when I find it difficult to own up to some of the actions performed by the people I once was . . . the only way to make sense of our existences is to set the stories of our lives down on paper, to try to make one tale that shows how the twentieth century turned Harold Winslow into Harold Winslow into Harold Winslow into me. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Howard!' she hollered as the machines pulled her under. 'Howard!' At least she didn't remember my name, either. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
Best, perhaps to keep one's nickels forever in one's pockets, to savor delicious possibility over mundane experience. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
I ask you to kill my father for the crime of bringing me into existence. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
I truly do not know, and that unnameable feeling that comes with not knowing: it must be worse than grief. It must. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
The constant clamor of the booths and barkers served as an exhausting reminder that he had to choose a fate, and that no matter which fate he chose he could be certain that it would not be the best, that in other timelines rendered inaccessible with each spent coin, other versions of himself would be having more fun, or winning golden ribbons, or becoming taller. The thought was unbearable. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
There's no way for me to warn you about the terrible things that I know are going to happen. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
There were hints and intimations of the shape of things to come. ~ Dexter Palmer
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Dexter Palmer
You don't realize what a strain it is on the nerves to write or think-of-writing all day long, and to sleep full of nervous dreams, and to wake up not knowing who one is: this all stems from anxiety about finishing the book, about time 'growing short', etc., and the perpetual strain of invention. ~ Jack Kerouac
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Jack Kerouac
So now I lye by Day and toss or rave by Night, since the ratling and perpetual Hum of the Town deny me rest: just as Madness and Phrensy are the vapours which rise from the lower Faculties, so the Chaos of the Streets reaches up even to the very Closet here and I am whirl'd about by cries of Knives to Grind and Here are your Mouse-Traps. I was last night about to enter the Shaddowe of Rest when a Watch-man, half-drunken, thumps at the Door with his Past Three-a-clock and his Rainy Wet Morning. And when at length I slipp'd into Sleep I had no sooner forgot my present Distemper than I was plunged into a worse: I dreamd my self to be lying in a small place under ground, like unto a Grave, and my Body was all broken while others sung. And there was a Face that did so terrifie me that I had like to have expired in my Dream. Well, I will say no more. ~ Peter Ackroyd
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Peter Ackroyd
The time of a man's life is as a point; the substance of it ever flowing, the sense obscure; and the whole composition of the body tending to corruption. His soul is restless, fortune uncertain, and fame doubtful; to be brief, as a stream so are all things belonging to the body; as a dream, or as a smoke, so are all that belong unto the soul. Our life is a warfare, and a mere pilgrimage. Fame after life is no better than oblivion. What is it then that will adhere and follow? Only one thing, philosophy. And philosophy doth consist in this, for a man to preserve that spirit which is within him, from all manner of contumelies and injuries, and above all pains or pleasures; never to do anything either rashly, or feignedly, or hypocritically: only to depend from himself, and his own proper actions: all things that happen unto him to embrace contentendly, as coming from Him from whom he himself also came; and above all things, with all meekness and a calm cheerfulness, to expect death, as being nothing else but the resolution of those elements, of which every creature is composed. And if the elements themselves suffer nothing by their perpetual conversion of one into another, that dissolution, and alteration, which is so common unto all, why should it be feared by any? Is not this according to nature? But nothing that is according to nature can be evil. ~ Marcus Aurelius
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Marcus Aurelius
And it is perhaps one of the causes of our perpetual disappointments in love, this perpetual displacement whereby, in response to our expectation of the ideal person whom we love, each meeting provides us with a person in flesh and blood who yet contains so little trace of our dream. ~ Marcel Proust
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Marcel Proust
A perpetual world; a world within a world. Of my mind and outside my mind. The real world is the dream world. ~ Fennel Hudson
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Fennel Hudson
Every day of his life he had a long sitting at the Memorial, which never made the least progress, however hard he laboured, for King Charles the First always strayed into it, sooner or later, and then it was thrown aside, and another one begun. The patience and hope with which he bore these perpetual disappointments, the mild perception he had that there was something wrong about King Charles the First, the feeble efforts he made to keep him out, and the certainty with which he came in, and tumbled the Memorial out of all shape, made a deep impression on me....It was quite an affecting sight, I used to think, to see him with the kite when it was up a great height in the air. What he had told me, in his room, about his belief in its disseminating the statements pasted on it, which were nothing but old leaves of abortive Memorials, might have been a fancy with him sometimes; but not when he was out, looking up at the kite in the sky, and feeling it pull and tug at his hand. He never looked so serene as he did then. I used to fancy, as I sat by him of an evening, on a green slope, and saw him watch the kite high up in the quiet air, that it lifted his mind out of its confusion, and bore it (such was my boyish thought) into the skies. As he wound the string in, and it came lower and lower down out of the beautiful light, until it fluttered to the ground, and lay there like a dead thing, he seemed to wake gradually out of a dream; and I remember to have seen him take it up, and lo ~ Charles Dickens
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Charles Dickens
In a large sense, Main Street is the American origin story. It's an evocation of the American creation tale, and the kick is that the American origin story is a never-ending one, a perpetual tale of creation and re-creation, an eternal now. ~ Leslie Le Mon
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Leslie Le Mon
Americans are hard working, innovative, proud people who want bad government policies and high taxes to get out of the way so they can take care of their families and pursue their dreams. ~ Tim Walberg
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Tim Walberg
Every man in creating the beautiful appearance of the dream worlds is a perfect artist. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When will you disembarrass yourselves of the lymphatic ideology of that deplorable Ruskin, which I would like to cover with so much ridicule that you would never forget it? With his morbid dream of primitive and rustic life, with his nostalgia for Homeric cheeses and legendary wool-spinners, with his hatred for the machine, steam power, and electricity, that maniac of antique simplicity is like a man who, after having reached full physical maturity, still wants to sleep in his cradle and feed himself at the breast of his decrepit old nurse in order to recover his thoughtless infancy. ~ Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
When I talk to my friends I pretend I am standing on the wings
of a flying plane. I cannot be trusted to tell them how I am.
Or if I am falling to earth weighing less
than a dozen roses. Sometimes I dream they have broken up
with their lovers and are carrying food to my house.
When I open the mailbox I hear their voices
like the long upward-winding curve of a train whistle
passing through the tall grasses and ferns
after the train has passed. I never get ahead of their shadows.
I embrace them in front of moving cars. I keep them away
from my miseries because to say I am miserable is to say I am like them. ~ Jason Shinder
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Jason Shinder
By the margin of fair Zurich's waters Dwelt a youth, whose fond heart, night and day, For the fairest of fair Zurich's daughters In a dream of love melted away. ~ Charles Dance
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Charles Dance
Better to sink with tempests raging o'er
Masts all dismantled and hull gaping wide
Than rest and rot on some unclouded shore
The idle plaything of the listless tide.

Better the grime of battle on the brow,
With grim defeat to crush thy dying hand
Than through long years of peace to tyrant bow
Or dwell captive in a strangers land.

Better the castle with beleaguered gate,
By battle's lightning shivered in a day
Than peaceful walls in pomp of sullen state,
Through centuries sinking to a dull decay.

Better resolve to win thy heart's desire,
And striving bravely, die in the endeavor
Than have the embers of some smothered fire
Lie smouldering in thy saddened soul forever. ~ Sam Davis
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Sam Davis
Dreams, in their essence, include risk. This risk could be physical danger (often true in climbing big mountains like Everest), or it could be financial (leaving a comfortable job and pouring your life savings into a business venture), or it could be emotional (like the feelings of loss and questioning that comes with losing friends and coworkers to climbing accidents). ~ Adrian Ballinger
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Adrian Ballinger
It is the first vision that counts. The artist has only to remain true to his dream and it will possess his work in such a manner that it will resemble the work of no other ... for no two visions are alike, and those who reach the heights have all toiled up steep mountains by a different route. To each has been revealed a different panorama. ~ Albert Pinkham Ryder
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Albert Pinkham Ryder
Gansey sighed, small and quiet and ragged, like he hadn't meant to let it escape. She shifted her gaze from the window to the side of his head, watching him watch instead. He pressed his thumb against his lower lip-this was Gansey, that gesture- and then he swallowed. It was, she thought, just as she felt when she looked at the stars, when she walked in Cabeswater. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
The world became more aware that America-despite being the hope of many who have the personal drive and ambition to become part of the "American dream"-is beset by serious operational challenges: a massive and growing national debt, widening social inequality, a cornucopian culture that worships materialism, a financial system given to greedy speculation, and a polarized political system ~ Zbigniew Brzezinski
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Zbigniew Brzezinski
I wanted everything good in the world for him; every dream he had, all of his secret plans, to come true. I suddenly was glad that Mona was his. ~ Hisham Matar
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Hisham Matar
There are a lot of actors who are doing dream work where they focus on a role and try to bring it into their dreams. I haven't done that work, but I've always found that when I'm studying for a role, the work I'm doing somehow manages to enter my dreams, no matter what approach I take. ~ Luke Kirby
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Luke Kirby
It is as if producing a creative work tears a piece from your soul. When it is ripped completely free of you, the wound must bleed for a while. How similar it is to letting go of a dream, your hope, or your heart's desire. You must open up and let it drain. ~ Lynn Cullen
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Lynn Cullen
Always dream of the impossible, then try! ~ Geoff Tabin
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Geoff Tabin
Maybe the American Dream is too rich for us now in the U.S. Maybe we're losing it because we are not like our Swedish grandmother who came across the plains, hacked down the trees, and took the Spanish words she encountered and made them hers. Now her great-great-grandchildren sit terrified, wondering what to do with all these Mexicans. The American Dream is an impossible affirmation of possibility. And maybe native-born Americans don't have it anymore. Maybe it has run through their fingers. ~ Richard Rodriguez
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Richard Rodriguez
What is the use of composing if it is to confine the product within the precinct of the concert or the solitude of listening to the radio? To compose, at least by propensity, is to give to do, not to give to hear but to give to write. The modern location for music is not the concert hall, but the stage on which the musicians pass, in what is often a dazzling display, from one source of sound to another. It is we who are playing, though still it is true by proxy; but one can imagine the concert - later on? - as exclusively a workshop, from which nothing spills over - no dream, no imaginary, no short, no 'soul' and where all the musical art is absorbed in a praxis with no remainder. ~ Roland Barthes
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Roland Barthes
Rapunzel:I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream. ~ Tangled
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Tangled
Every season is likeable, and wet days and fine, red wine and white, company and solitude. Even sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life, can be full of dreams; and the most common actions ― a walk, a talk, solitude in one's own orchard ― can be enhanced and lit up by the association of the mind. Beauty is everywhere, and beauty is only two finger's-breadth from goodness. ~ Virginia Woolf
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Virginia Woolf
It is because people exist in varyinig degrees of the dream. ~ Frederick Lenz
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Frederick Lenz
Around me the moonlight glittered on the pebbles of the llano, and in the night sky a million stars sparkled. Across the river I could see the twinkling lights of the town. In a week I would be returning to school, and as always I would be running up the goat path and crossing the bridge to go to church. Sometime in the future I would have to build my own dream out of those things that were so much a part of my childhood. ~ Rudolfo Anaya
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Rudolfo Anaya
He seemed to understand what she wanted, for he gave an unsteady laugh and caught one of her hands in his. "No, Amanda... tonight you're going to remain a virgin."
"Why?"
His hand covered her breast, squeezing gently, and he dragged his half-open mouth over her throat. "Because there are a few things you need to know about me first."
Now that it seemed likely that he would not make love to her, it became the thing Amanda wanted most. "But I'll never see you again," she said. "And it's my birthday."
Jack laughed at that, his blue eyes gleaming, and he pressed a hard kiss to her mouth, and hugged her close while he murmured endearments in her ear. No one had ever said such things to her before. People were intimidated by her self-possession and no-nonsense demeanor. No man would ever dream of calling her adorable, sweet, darling... ~ Lisa Kleypas
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Lisa Kleypas
For the sake of your dreams, don't create negative brands for yourself, else you scare away opportunities that are meant to be your turning point! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
She is the girl of my dreams, every man's dreams. She is whatever a dream dreams when it dreams. ~ Zac Young
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Zac Young
And like anyone who is in valiant pursuit of dreams, the ups and downs come and go, but the dream lives in the heart forever. ~ Chris Michaels
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Chris Michaels
I think What Dreams May Come is the most important (read effective) book I've written. It has caused a number of readers to lose their fear of death the finest tribute any writer could receive ... Somewhere In Time is my favorite novel. ~ Richard Matheson
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Richard Matheson
I think the James Bond thing has sailed. But of course I would want to be a Bond villain. They are great parts. I think it's highly unlikely, but one can always dream. ~ James Purefoy
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by James Purefoy
My enlightenment comes from the lucid awareness of my extinction not the dream of my eternal ego. ~ Christopher Zzenn Loren
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Christopher Zzenn Loren
The leader feels the pulse of a burning passion and communicates that heat at every opportunity. He or she lives the dream, breathes the vision, sleeps the mission, and eats the goals every day. The leader shares those goals all the time with everyone. It is a vibration the entire organization can feel. ~ Phil Pringle
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Phil Pringle
A lot of people are living in a dream world - they want to deny that aging occurs or believe it doesn't have to occur. They'll hold on to this belief until the moment they die. The reality will eventually hit them. ~ S. Jay Olshansky
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by S. Jay Olshansky
But, in truth, it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there forever - provided, naturally, that you don't go and look. This is known as finance. ~ Terry Pratchett
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Terry Pratchett
It was a dream come true performing with her and just being on the same record. So in my eyes, she was the epitome of a great voice and for us to share together was awesome. ~ Deborah Cox
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Deborah Cox
The Violin of my dreams. If you wanna play a pianissimo that is almost inaudible and yet it carries through a hall that seats 3,000 people, there's your Strad. ~ Itzhak Perlman
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Itzhak Perlman
I'm sure you've heard people talk about their Heart's Desire - well that's a load of rot. Hearts are idiots. They're big and squishy and full of daft dreams. They flounce off to write poetry and moon at folk who aren't worth the mooning. Bones are the ones that have to make the journey, fight the monster, kneel before whomever is big on kneeling these days. Bones do the work for the heart's grand plans. Bones know what you need. Hearts only know want. ~ Catherynne M Valente
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Catherynne M Valente
Looking up and out, how can we not respect this ever-vigilant cognizance that distinguishes us: the capability to envision, to dream, and to invent? the ability to ponder ourselves? and be aware of our existence on the outer arm of a spiral galaxy in an immeasurable ocean of stars? Cognizance is our crest. ~ Vanna Bonta
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Vanna Bonta
I've had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I've often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head. ~ Brian Eno
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Brian Eno
Often it's just a short swim from the shipwreck of your life to the island paradise of your dreams, assuming you don't drown in the metaphor. ~ Robert Breault
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Robert Breault
The assumption of time is one of humanity's greatest follies. We tell ourselves that there's always tomorrow, when we can no more predict tomorrow than we can the weather. Procrastination is the thief of dreams. ~ Richard Paul Evans
The Dream Of Perpetual Motion quotes by Richard Paul Evans
The adult Feynman asked: If all scientific knowledge were lost in a cataclysm, what single statement would preserve the most information for the next generations of creatures? How could we best pass on our understanding of the world? He proposed, "All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another," and he added, "In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied. ~ Anonymous
