Descend Quotes

I think it is love of that blue vault of sky that becomes your playground if, and only if, you are a fighter pilot. You don’t understand it if you fly from A to B in straight and level, and merely climb and descend. You’re moving through the basement of that bolt of blue Picture Quote #1

It would be easy to descend into despair, not only about the state of journalism, but the future of American democracy. But giving up is not an option. There is too much at stake Picture Quote #1

It is with fine sentiments that bad literature is made. Descend to the bottom of the well if you wish to see the stars Picture Quote #1

Most Americans descend from the very people who built this country with their bare hands Picture Quote #1

I might really have gone round the bend. I mean people who get visions and see a gigantic light descend on them from the sky can’t be all there but if so I feel mighty happy. If one is happy and cracked it’s much better than being unhappy and sane Picture Quote #1

But I wasn’t sure. I wasn’t sure at all. How did I know that somedayÂ•at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhereÂ•the bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn’t descend again? Picture Quote #1

I descend from both Philadelphia Quakers and Carolina colonists whose families were separated by the Revolutionary War. That helped give me insight into the agony of Patriots who, until the British government denied their claims, had always, like Ben Franklin himself, thought of themselves as free-born Englishmen Picture Quote #1

In some of the great cities of Europe - Paris, Vienna, Prague, and Brussels - tourists bored with life above ground can descend below. All these cities have sewer museums and tours, and all expose their underbelly willingly to the curious. But not London, arguably the home of the most splendid sewer network in Europe Picture Quote #1

Religion! Is what you hear at church religion? Is that which can bend and turn, and descend and ascend, to fit every crooked phase of selfish, worldly society, religion? Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t recommend people to go up and ride their road bikes in Kenya. Bikes are not meant to be on the roads. But the mountain biking is fantastic. You can go right up into the tea and coffee plantations up in the highlands. You can descend the great Rift Valley Picture Quote #1

I met my wife in Washington, D.C. I was a senior in college. WW II was about to descend upon us. Jobs were starting to open up after a prolonged depression Picture Quote #1

To make a deliberate falsification for personal gain is the last, worst depth to which either scholar or artist can descend in work or life Picture Quote #1

One of the most difficult tasks confronting philosophers is to descend from the world of thought to the actual world Picture Quote #1

If you don’t hear His voice so let Him hear yours. When prayers go up blessings descend Picture Quote #1

A soccer game is a Wagner opera. The narrative sets up, the tension builds, the music ebbs and flows, the strings, the horns, more tension, and suddenly a moment of pure bliss, trumpet-tongued Gabriel sings, and gods descend from Olympus to dance - this peak of ecstasy Picture Quote #1

Ah, yet, e’er I descend to th’ grave, May I a small House and a large Garden have. And a few Friends, and many Books both true, Both wise, and both delightful too. And since Love ne’er will from me flee, A mistress moderately fair, And good as Guardian angels are, Only belov’d and loving me Picture Quote #1

The bells cease, and the power goes from me, and I descend again to the world of the living; and if in some foolish confiding moment I try to explain why I want to re-live those old days, to tear the Truth out of the past so that all men shall see plainly, perhaps someone will say to me, ‘Oh, the War! A tragedy - best forgotten.’ Picture Quote #1

IN MEMORIAM: FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE She whom we love, our Lady of Compassion, Can never die, for Love forbids her death. Love has bent down in his old kindly fashion, And breathed upon her his immortal breath. On wounded soldiers, in their anguish lying, Her gentle spirit shall descend like rain. Where the white flag with the red cross is flying, There shall she dwell, the vanquisher of pain Picture Quote #1

SCIENCE! thou fair effusive ray From the great source of mental Day, Free, generous, and refin’d! Descend with all thy treasures fraught, Illumine each bewilder’d thought, And bless my labour’g mind Picture Quote #1

Ambition displeases when it has been sated ... having reached the peak, it aspires to descend Picture Quote #1
