Text Quotes
When ancient opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot possibly be estimated. From that moment, we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer  (Ancient Quotes) Those whom we call ancient were really new in all things, and properly constituted the infancy of mankind  (Ancient Quotes) A great deal of the furniture of ancient tyranny is torn to rags; the rest is entirely out of fashion  (Ancient Quotes) On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process  (Ancient Quotes) The earliest sensation at the onset of illness, often preceding the recognition of identifiable symptoms, is apprehension. Something has gone wrong, and a glimpse of mortality shifts somewhere deep in the mind. It is the most ancient of our fears  (Ancient Quotes) Should one point out that from ancient times decline in courage has been considered the beginning of the end?  (Ancient Quotes) It is one of those lessons that every child should learn: Don’t play with fire, sharp objects, or ancient artifacts  (Ancient Quotes) My books hold between their covers every story I’ve ever known and still remember, or have now forgotten, or may one day read; they fill the space around me with ancient and new voices  (Ancient Quotes) And the dreams so rich in color. How else would death call you? Waking in the cold dawn it all turned to ash instantly. Like certain ancient frescoes entombed for centuries suddenly exposed to the day  (Ancient Quotes) There is no scent so pleasant to my nostrils as that faint, subtle reek which comes from an ancient book  (Ancient Quotes) His own voice was older than he was. Ancient, unearthed from some mystical subterranean place... The voice seemed to make his whole body ache. Maybe it made him bleed inside. I wondered if it hurt, if it burned in his throat  (Ancient Quotes) Personally, I am a hedonistic reader; I have never read a book merely because it was ancient. I read books for the aesthetic emotions they offer me, and I ignore the commentaries and criticism  (Ancient Quotes) O light! This the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer  (Ancient Quotes) The description of lust was simple: two people learn they’re compatible, attraction grows, and the ancient instinct to preserve the species kicks in  (Ancient Quotes) It was one thing to snuggle a little when the world seemed about to end, and quite another to explain to her parents that she wanted to date an ancient magical horse  (Ancient Quotes) Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life  (Ancient Quotes) Generally, women can’t do this, but men retain the ancient ability to leave a family and a past. They just unhook themselves, like removing a fake beard, and skulk discreetly back into society, changed men. Unrecognizable  (Ancient Quotes) She can feel his blood, just beneath his skin; when he breathes, the air fills with smoke. He’s like a dragon, ancient and fearless  (Ancient Quotes) I seek truth and beauty in the transparency of an autumn leaf, in the perfect form of a seashell on the beach, in the curve of a woman’s back, in the texture of an ancient tree trunk, but also in the elusive forms of reality  (Ancient Quotes) The cold stars spun to the ancient rhythm, the August march of an everlasting symphony. They are old, the stars, and their memory is long  (Ancient Quotes) A classic is the term given to any book which comes to represent the whole universe, a book on a par with ancient talismans  (Ancient Quotes) Each of us has the ability to act powerfully for change; together we can restore that ancient and sustaining harmony  (Ancient Quotes) May we not suspect that the vague but very real fears of children, which are quite independent of experience, are the inherited effects of real dangers and abject superstitions during ancient savage times?  (Ancient Quotes) The hallmark of an authentic evangelicalism is not the uncritical repetition of old traditions but the willingness to submit every tradition, however ancient, to fresh biblical scrutiny and, if necessary, reform  (Ancient Quotes) Hunting is now to most of us a game, whose relish seems based upon some mystic remembrance, in the blood, of ancient days when to hunter as well as hunted it was a matter of life and death  (Ancient Quotes) An ingenious compound of desirability and appearance. Discovery of truth is the sole purpose of philosophy, which is the most ancient occupation of the human mind and has a fair prospect of existing with increasing activity to the end of time  (Ancient Quotes) A university is a place where ancient tradition thrives alongside the most revolutionary ideas. Perhaps as no other institution, a university is simultaneously committed to the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow  (Ancient Quotes) In ancient times music was the foundation of all the sciences. Education was begun with music with the persuasion that nothing could be expected of a man who was ignorant of music  (Ancient Quotes) The ancient historians gave us delightful fiction in the form of fact; the modern novelist presents us with dull facts under the guise of fiction  (Ancient Quotes) Sound has spoiled the most ancient of the world’s arts, the art of pantomime, and has canceled out the great beauty that is silence  (Ancient Quotes)
