Text Quotes
He who longs for the far-away proves thereby that he has corrupted the near-at-hand  (Faraway Quotes) Someday the sun is going to shine down on me in some faraway place  (Faraway Quotes) I need to go someplace faraway that doesn’t have telephones and doesn’t have a record player and doesn’t have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything  (Faraway Quotes) Wherever it’s good, whatever strange, faraway land, let’s go there, let’s stay in that place alone.  (Faraway Quotes) We who came here saw what was happening. This was far more than a war in a faraway place. This was a moral imperative, a terrible vision of the future  (Faraway Quotes) A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of a faraway place. A traveler on the plane sees the farmhouse below and dreams of home  (Faraway Quotes) Romance calls for the faraway love of the troubadours; marriage for love of one’s neighbor  (Faraway Quotes) People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home  (Faraway Quotes) How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing  (Faraway Quotes) One way I differ from my character, Coach Taylor, is that I never would have taken this faraway job without my wife’s consent  (Faraway Quotes) Without my mother’s ambition, her drive, I doubt that on my own I would have pushed myself out of Pozzuoli and into the frightening world that was faraway Rome.  (Faraway Quotes) Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you.  (Faraway Quotes) Hearing the faraway sounds of children at recess makes me understand that I am no longer life’s main character.  (Faraway Quotes) As a child, a library card takes you to exotic, faraway places. When you’re grown up, a credit card does it.  (Faraway Quotes) Here’s an easy way to see if a war movie is being truthful: If you see an explosion on a faraway hillside and the sound of the explosion and the detonation of the bomb happen at the same time - if they’re putting the sound and the vision together in the same moment - they’re going toward our cultural understanding of war, not the reality of war.  (Faraway Quotes) The first victims of poseur environmentalism will always be developing countries. In order for you to put biofuel in your Prius and feel good about yourself for no reason, real actual people in faraway places have to starve to death.  (Faraway Quotes) In a faraway land called ‘pre-2000,’ what Earthlings now call blogging was called ‘keeping a diary.’ It’s hard work to do well. I tried doing it in the early 1990s but had to stop because I no longer had a life - instead I had this thing that generated anecdotes to go into my diary. The diary took over and I had to stop.  (Faraway Quotes) I am thinking of our family’s womenas faraway bulbs, their historywith crippling loss, and how I am pieced together, shell and sand,from the spine of their collective strength.  (Faraway Quotes) How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing.  (Faraway Quotes) I made a boy's mistake, common enough, of thinking that real life was knowing many things and many people, living dangerously in faraway places, crossing the sea, or starting a power company on the Columbia River, a steamship line in Bolivia  (Faraway Quotes) As a child, a library card takes you to exotic, faraway places. When you’re grown up, a credit card does it  (Faraway Quotes) You should not see the desert simply as some faraway place of little rain. There are many forms of thirst  (Faraway Quotes) What’s the classical moment that every actor or actress deals with? A tragic thing. They get that blank, faraway look in their eyes. But in life, it’s not that way  (Faraway Quotes) People always think that happiness is a faraway thing … something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up  (Faraway Quotes) There are times in a person’s life when he or she must make a choice to believe. I choose to believe the sun will rise tomorrow. I also choose to believe that if you go to bed hungry you will wake up ready to eat. I’ve met a group of men in a faraway country who choose to believe that if you stand on a tree stump for an hour you will gain sympathy for trees. I am already quite sympathetic to trees, so I choose to think they are bonkers  (Faraway Quotes) I stared up at the ebbing quarter moon and the stars scattered like a handful of salt across the faraway sky  (Faraway Quotes) Yes, we all know that there’s a good chance the missiles won’t work properly when the government people finally come to get them, but over the years we’ve stopped worrying about that.

After all, if there are families in faraway countries with their own backyard missiles, armed and pointed back at us, we would hope that they too have found a much better use for them  (Faraway Quotes) I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn’t far away at all. It’s in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for. That for me, is glamor  (Faraway Quotes) I leave these speculations to others. It’s quite possible that my work represents a search for beauty in the most prosaic and ordinary places. One doesn’t have to be in some faraway dreamland in order to find beauty  (Faraway Quotes) The true task of spiritual life is not found in faraway places or unusual states of consciousness. It is here in the present. It asks of us a welcoming spirit to greet all that life presents to us with a wise, respectful, and kindly heart. We can bow to both beauty and suffering, to our entanglements and confusion, to our fears and to the injustices of the world. Honoring the truth in this way is the path to freedom  (Faraway Quotes)
