Text Quotes
Trains are not any more energy efficient than the average automobile, with both getting about 48 passenger miles to the gallon  (Miles Quotes) I walked all those miles, I learned all those lessons. It’s as if my new life was the gift I got at the end of a long struggle  (Miles Quotes) Writing at least is a silent meditation even though you’re going a hundred miles an hour  (Miles Quotes) A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms grows from a downy tip; A terrace nine stories high rises from level earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one’s feet  (Miles Quotes) Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. Even if we run a hundred miles an hour to the other side of the continent, we find the very same problem awaiting us when we arrive  (Miles Quotes) The weird set an example for the rest of us. They raise the bar. They show us through their actions that in fact we’re wired to do the new, not to comply with someone a thousand miles away  (Miles Quotes) No prosaic description can portray the grandeur of 40 miles of rugged mountains rising beyond a placid lake in which each shadowy precipice and each purple gorge is reflected with a vividness that rivals the original  (Miles Quotes) It’s weird how me and that insect are miles apart in terms of lifestyle, yet we both like a biscuit  (Miles Quotes) Prayers have no boundaries. They can leap miles and continents and be translated instantly into any language  (Miles Quotes) You cannot underestimate people’s ability to spot a soulless, bureaucratic tactic a million miles away. It’s a big reason why so many companies that have dipped a toe in social media waters have failed miserably  (Miles Quotes) The one that rambles for a million miles, yes, I walk down this road searching for your love  (Miles Quotes) I’m luckier than my grandfather, who didn’t move more than five miles from the village in which he was born  (Miles Quotes) No changing of place at a hundred miles an hour will make us one whit stronger, or happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than man could see, walked they ever so slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace. It does a bullet no good to go fast; and a man, if he be truly a man, no harm to go slow; for his glory is not at all in going, but in being  (Miles Quotes) The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be  (Miles Quotes) A curtain of stars, miles of them, are scattered, glowing, across the sky and their multitude humbles me, which I have a hard time tolerating. She shrugs and nods after I say something about forms of anxiety. It’s as if her mind is having a hard time communicating with her mouth, as if she is searching for a rational analysis of who I am, which is, of course, an impossibility: there... is... no... key  (Miles Quotes) And that was as far as he got before I heard it. The thumping of footsteps, running up the lawn toward me: It seemed like I could hear it through the grass, like leaning your ear to a railroad track and feeling the train coming, miles away. As the noise got closer I could hear ragged breaths, and then a voice. It was my mother  (Miles Quotes) Ever bike? Now that’s something that makes life worth living!... Oh, to just grip your handlebars and lay down to it, and go ripping and tearing through streets and road, over railroad tracks and bridges, threading crowds, avoiding collisions, at twenty miles or more an hour, and wondering all the time when you’re going to smash up. Well, now, that’s something! And then go home again after three hours of it... and then to think that tomorrow I can do it all over again!  (Miles Quotes) And here I am, instead of there. I’m sitting in this library, thousands of miles from my life, writing another letter I know I won’t be able to send, no matter how hard I try and how much I want to. How did that boy making love behind that shed become this man writing this letter at this table?  (Miles Quotes) The sound universe is also spectacular around here. In the evenings there’s a cricket orchestra with frogs providing the bass line. In the dead of night the dogs howl about how misunderstood they are. Before dawn the roosters for miles around announce how freaking cool it is to be roosters  (Miles Quotes) This is the practice school of writing. Like running, the more you do it, the better you get at it. Some days you don’t want to run and you resist every step of the three miles, but you do it anyway. You practice whether you want to or not. You don’t wait around for inspiration and a deep desire to run... That’s how writing is too... One of the main aims in writing practice is to learn to trust your own mind and body; to grow patient and nonaggressive  (Miles Quotes) I wait. Now the night flows back, the mighty stillness embraces and includes me; I can see the stars again and the world of starlight. I am twenty miles or more from the nearest fellow human, but instead of loneliness I feel loveliness. Loveliness and a quiet exultation  (Miles Quotes) I’ve never had a huge circle of friends. I can’t spread myself that thin and go 100 million miles an hour all the time. I choose to give truly of myself, entirely of myself, to the people I choose to do that with, and I can’t do that with everyone  (Miles Quotes) From 8,000 miles away... I would not judge a fellow soldier from a friendly nation and how they are employing their resources  (Miles Quotes) I’m not particularly impressed with going 50 miles per gallon. That doesn’t impress me when we can go to the moon  (Miles Quotes) As my men could profitably employ themselves on these streams, I moved slowly along, averaging not more than five or six miles per day and sometimes remained two days at the same encampment  (Miles Quotes) A pat on the back, through only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, is miles ahead in results  (Miles Quotes) People think our work is monumental because it’s art, but human beings do much bigger things: They build giant airports, highways for thousands of miles, much, much bigger than what we create  (Miles Quotes) The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep  (Miles Quotes) We have come one hundred miles and both the tortoise and the hare have passed us laughing  (Miles Quotes) If something knocks you five degrees out of whack, the journey of a thousand miles that begins with a single step ends up thousands of miles away from its intended destination  (Miles Quotes)
