Faded Quotes

If we didn’t live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I’ve no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged Picture Quote #1

The eyes of men love to pluck the blossoms from the faded flowers they turn away Picture Quote #1

Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone Picture Quote #1

I was a keen observer and listener. I picked up on clues. I figured things out logically, and I enjoyed puzzles. I loved the clear, focused feeling that came when I concentrated on solving a problem and everything else faded out Picture Quote #1

He looked at her as a man looks at a faded flower he has gathered, with difficulty recognizing the beauty for which he picked and ruined it Picture Quote #1

Memories which someday will become all beautiful when the last annoyance that encumbers them shall have faded out of our minds Picture Quote #1

The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice Picture Quote #1

She knew what it was to wait for someone who would never come home. She knew that grief, like a scar, faded but never really went away Picture Quote #1

Guilt was a fascinating thing: it seemed not to weaken over time. If anything it grew stronger as the circumstances faded from memory, as the fear and the necessity became abstract. And only her own actions stood out with crystal clarity Picture Quote #1

And you’re wasted with your ladies. Yeah I’m the reason why you always getting faded Picture Quote #1

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded Picture Quote #1

After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live Picture Quote #1

If I had grown up in that house I couldn’t have loved it more, couldn’t have been more familiar with the creak of the swing, or the pattern of the clematis vines on the trellis, or the velvety swell of land as it faded to gray on the horizon... The very colors of the place had seeped into my blood Picture Quote #1

I asked myself if I would kill my parents to save his life, a question I had been posing since I was fifteen. The answer always used to be yes. But in time, all those boys had faded away, and my parents were still there. I was now less and less willing to kill them for anyone; in fact, I worried for their health. In this case, however, I had to say yes. Yes, I would Picture Quote #1

He looked at her as a man looks at a faded flower he has gathered, with difficulty recognizing in it the beauty for which he picked and ruined it. And in spite of this he felt that then, when his love was stronger, he could, if he had greatly wished it, have torn that love out of his heart; but now when as at that moment it seemed to him he felt no love for her, he knew that what bound him to her could not be broken Picture Quote #1

Success only means doing something sincerely and wholeheartedly. I think life is a process. Through the ages, the end of heroes is the same as ordinary men. They all died and gradually faded away in the memory of man. But when we are still alive, we have to understand ourselves, discover ourselves and express ourselves. In this way, we can progress, but we may not be successful Picture Quote #1

With her high pale brow under her faded brown hair, she was like a rock washed clean by years of her husband’s absences at conventions, dinners, committee meetings or simply at the office Picture Quote #1

I may not to the world impart the secret of its power, but treasured in my inmost heart I keep my faded flower Picture Quote #1

Sunsets in themselves are generally superior to sunrises; but with the sunset we appreciate images drawn from departed peace and faded glory Picture Quote #1

Everything in my room was old and faded, but I loved that about it. It felt like there might be secrets in the walls, in the four-poster bed, especially in that music box Picture Quote #1

A popular bumper sticker post-9/11, and pretty faded these days, proclaims drivers of the cars to be ‘Proud to be an American.’ It really should say ‘Lucky to be an American,’ for I doubt very much that the drivers had much say in having been born here, and are not old enough to have participated in the drafting of the Constitution Picture Quote #1

It’s a funny thing - the reality is I have no feelings about school. It’s long gone. Funnily enough, the bad memories - of which I don’t have any left to be honest, I can just remember a sense of tedium - have faded. And teachers that I liked have remained quite vivid. There are three or four left Picture Quote #1
