Quote Left I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity Quote Right
Quote Left Where the voice of the wind calls our wandering feet, Through echoing forest and echoing street, With lutes in our hands ever-singing we roam, All men are our kindred, the world is our home. Our lays are of cities whose lustre is shed, The laughter and beauty of women long dead; The sword of old battles, the crown of old kings, And happy and simple and sorrowful things. What hope shall we gather, what dreams shall we sow? Where the wind calls our wandering footsteps we go. No love bids us tarry, no joy bids us wait: The voice of the wind is the voice of our fate. Quote Right
Quote Left Es tan corto el amor, y tan largo el olvido. (Love is so short, and forgetting is so long.) Quote Right
Quote Left His hair long and plausive. Bastard Masturbating a glitter, He wants to be loved. Quote Right
Quote Left 'I cry' Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confiding, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why. Quote Right
Quote Left Time is Too slow for those who wait, Too swift for those who fear, Too long for those who grieve, Too short for those who rejoice. But for those who love, time is not. Quote Right
Quote Left Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is er... Quote Right
Quote Left In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago. Quote Right
Quote Left Another kind of love and compassion is not based on something appearing beautiful or nice, but based on the fact that the other person, just like oneself, wants happiness and does not want suffering and indeed has every right to be happy and to overcome suffering. On such a basis, we feel a sense of responsibility, a sense of closeness toward that being. That is true compassion. This is because the compassion is based on reason, notjust on emotional feeling. As a consequence, it does not matter what the other's attitude is, whether negative, or positive. What matters is that it is a human being, a sentient being that has the experience of pain and pleasure. There is no reason not to feel compassion so long as it is a sentient being. Quote Right
Quote Left I am the Turquoise Woman's Son, On top of Belted Mountain beautiful horses--slim like a weasel! My horse with a hoof like a striped agate, with his fetlock like a fine eagle plume: my horse whose legs are like quick lightning whose body is an eagle-plumed arrow: my horse whose tail is like a trailing black cloud. The Little Holy Wind blows through his hair. My horse with a mane made of short rainbows. My horse with ears made of round corn. My horse with eyes made of big starts. My horse with a head made of mixed waters. My horse with teeth made of white shell. The long rainbow is in his mouth for a bridle and with it I guide him. Quote Right
Quote Left Es tan corto el amor, y tan largo el olvido.
(Love is so short, and forgetting is so long.)
Quote Right
Quote Left Nor youth, nor strength, nor wisdom spring again, Nor habitations long their names retain, But in oblivion to the final day remain. Quote Right
Quote Left All we have of freedom -- all we use or know -- This our fathers bought for us, long and long ago. Quote Right
Quote Left Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war. Quote Right
Quote Left When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart. For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way. If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget, part of who I am will be gone. Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. the good thief said from his cross (Luke 23:42). There are perhaps no more human words in all of Scripture, no prayer we can pray so well. Quote Right
Quote Left Then, wearied by the uncertainty and difficulties with which each scheme appeared to be attended, he bent up his mind to the strong effort of shaking off his love, like dew-drops from the lion's mane, and resuming those studies and that career of life which his unrequited affection had so long and so fruitlessly interrupted. In this last resolution he endeavoured to fortify himself by every argument which pride, as well as reason, could suggest. Quote Right
Quote Left I believe in the fundamental Truth of all the great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God given. I came to the conclusion long ago... that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them. Quote Right
Quote Left The success of the first two releases confirms that SAW is a franchise that will continue to have legs for a very long time. The movies combine action, suspense and gore while taking us into the mind of one of the most memorable madmen in horror movie history. While the success at the box office gave SAW II momentum for its home video release, we also ensured that it stood out at retail with unique packaging and an extensive marketing and promotional campaign. With the Valentine's Day opening, we were able to pull out all the stops on a unique overall marketing program that gave the release great visibility leading up to street date. Quote Right
Quote Left Only with winter-patience can we bring The deep desired, long-awaited spring. Quote Right
Quote Left Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Quote Right
Quote Left There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. Quote Right
Quote Left In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die, and the choices that we make are ultimately our responsibility Quote Right
Quote Left What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness? Let them be left. O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet. Quote Right
Quote Left In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. Quote Right
Quote Left I self destruct every relationship so that i don't get hurt... but in truth i just hurt myself worse in the long run.. Quote Right
Quote Left The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent. Quote Right
Quote Left In December 2004, the Osage Nation of Oklahoma won its battle in Congress to determine our own laws and citizenship, ... It was the end of a long road to independence for our tribe, but the beginning of what we feel is most precious: our sovereignty. I am often asked if gaming has taken over the national debate on Indians in America. But gaming is an extension of our sovereignty, not the other way around and we cannot allow others to frame our issues for us. As Indian people, sovereignty comes first. Quote Right
Quote Left LOOKING-GLASS, n. A vitreous plane upon which to display a fleeting show for man's disillusion given. The King of Manchuria had a magic looking-glass, whereon whoso looked saw, not his own image, but only that of the king. A certain courtier who had long enjoyed the king's favor and was thereby enriched beyond any other subject of the realm, said to the king: Give me, I pray, thy wonderful mirror, so that when absent out of thine august presence I may yet do homage before thy visible shadow, prostrating myself night and morning in the glory of thy benign countenance, as which nothing has so divine splendor, O Noonday Sun of the Universe! Please with the speech, the king commanded that the mirror be conveyed to the courtier's palace; but after, having gone thither without apprisal, he found it in an apartment where was naught but idle lumber. And the mirror was dimmed with dust and overlaced with cobwebs. This so angered him that he fisted it hard, shattering the glass, and was sorely hurt. Enraged all the more by this mischance, he commanded that the ungrateful courtier be thrown into prison, and that the glass be repaired and taken back to his own palace; and this was done. But when the king looked again on the mirror he saw not his image as before, but only the figure of a crowned ass, having a bloody bandage on one of its hinder hooves --as the artificers and all who had looked upon it had before discerned but feared to report. Taught wisdom and charity, the king restored his courtier to liberty, had the mirror set into the back of the throne and reigned many years with justice and humility; and one day when he fell asleep in death while on the throne, the whole court saw in the mirror the luminous figure of an angel, which remains to this day. Quote Right
Quote Left And Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is too weak and fuddled to shake off. Quote Right
Quote Left The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination. Quote Right

Quote Left When I say the word 'trolls' I don't mean just the people in public who chuck bricks at windows. Also talking about the ones who do it when you turn around. They have a pencil sharpened that says 'empathetic oath' - it becomes a shiv if you catch them throwing rocks. Turns out sticks and stones absolutely will hurt you, if they're lies about you told to everyone else and they are ignorant enough to believe it. That fades, along with your responsibilities. Liberation through betrayal. Quote Right
Quote Left Once you are grounded in love, all other girls are mere fleeting specks of dust. Because you desire or longed them no more but just wipe it off like a dust at shoe. Quote Right
Quote Left At home you normally stumble onto a long lost document of yours when you begin to search for a recently lost one. ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left "We all make mistakes, and holding resentment rarely benefits us in the long run. When insulted or mistreated, it's natural to feel anger, but don't let it chain you to the one who hurt you. Ask yourself if the slight merits your ongoing distress and demand for vengeance. Forgiveness can be the better choice, especially when the behavior wasn't deeply malicious." Quote Right
Quote Left The quote "home is a place where when you go you are welcome" by Jacob Kobina Ayiah Mensah is a reference to a piece of writing from Providence Lunch by Jacob Kobina Ayiah Mensah published in Unlikely Stories Mark V, in March 6, 2019 at www.unlikelystories.org. It emphasizes the feeling of belonging and being welcomed as a key aspect of what makes a place feel like home, beyond just a physical location. Quote Right
Quote Left It’s a horror, a terror and a depressant. Another name for it is aging. It’s the side effect of long life. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left Realising you’ve been on a long friendship with a fake friend is similar to realising you’ve been riding on the wrong train —you can’t wait to climb down at the next station. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left God lets us choose! The indecisive nature of man's soul why it has taken so long to move on to the the next stage of blessed evolution. Free Will does not mean simply making choices -- 2,000 years from now we will still be in the same spiritual rut, maybe living on radioactive islands, but nothing will change until we decide to change our rebellious, destructive consciousness. Christ never left us...the Christ in us, the Holy Spirit with us, is our salvation in the palm of our hands. Quote Right
Quote Left A man’s penis and a snake share some similarities : both are long; both are flexible; both change in shape and in size when roused; both stretch longer and become firmer when in action; both spit out liquid (the former spits out urine and sperm, the latter spits out venom); both cannot do without holes (the former goes into a hole for maximum pleasure, the latter for safety); both recoil after sufficiently striking their targets. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left Halley’s Comet comes around once in a long, long while. So do true friends. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left If you buy stolen goods, you’re not a thief. But you’re like the tiger that is not a cat but belongs to the cat family. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left The soul’s final rest is a tender nightfall after a long and weary journey. Quote Right
Quote Left Echoes of a silent heart linger long after the voice has faded. Quote Right
Quote Left Children off to college. We cannot hold on too long to anything of this world, even what is dearly heartfelt. Nothing was ever ours alone, to claim and keep. Quote Right
Quote Left When I love, I no longer know if I burn with longing or simply relive the withdrawal of too long an absence. Quote Right
Quote Left Trust in God...is easy, perhaps for God...but sometimes us men have great difficulty with the concept. In God's time...keeping long track with my antique watch. Quote Right

Quote Left If you love me, stay even when it’s no longer beautiful. That’s where truth begins. Quote Right
Quote Left For how long shall bullet fly before we realize that the true enemies of humanity are poverty, hunger, ignorance, and disease? Quote Right
Quote Left Dating is so important to a long lasting relationship. Get to know the other person really well, it's ok to date for a lengthy period. Consummating a relationship outside of marriage is still a covenant made, in God's eyes. Oxytocin is the bonding drug our bodies create. You are fighting physical and emotional connection when you don't respect the process. There is a lot of therapy gone through because God's program for relationships [or "ships" as the kids say] and marriages are not followed. Quote Right
Quote Left My Life has Long been Lived... Quote Right
Quote Left I longed to live a better future—now the best future is simply living longer Quote Right
Quote Left When loving someone is no longer a choice, You have found the one person that was made for you and only you. Don't take a love like that for granted, no matter how much work has to be put in to it for it to last. Anything perfectly beautiful isn't easily obtained. Quote Right
Quote Left If brevity be the soul of wit, levity, the key to longevity, is the humour in it. Quote Right
Quote Left "It's easy to find those who'll sprint to the end with a heroic gleam, but to run the long race with a steady, patient pace is rarer and more noble." Quote Right
Quote Left Long past is the purview of measured discourse. Civility must, of necessity, yield to passions rougher embrace. Quote Right
Quote Left Time is a Gift to us. Let is find together the many treasures, those on the surface along with the infinite hidden. Quote Right
Quote Left “Only statues or inanimate objects belong on pedestals…not people.” Quote Right
Quote Left If only Tom's words had wings and could take flight in the emptiness of lone hearts. Those hearts would once sing again. There be songs, sing a-longs, harmony. And for every lovely word of his that passes the doors of the heart the foundation of the body is in a better place. Quote Right
Quote Left Poetry is a life-long odyssey...sort of like, getting on a wood-craft, sailing off toward the horizon, praying one is dealing with round notes and not flats. The poetic heart floats and sinks with every lyrical journey. Quote Right
