Pavement Quotes

Night, like a giant, fills the church, from pavement to roof, and holds dominion through the silent hours. Pale dawn again comes peeping through the windows: and, giving place to day, sees night withdraw into the vaults, and follows it, and drives it out, and hides among the dead Picture Quote #1

My father-in-law tripped on a crack in the pavement and spent the rest of the week politely pretending he had not dislocated his shoulder Picture Quote #1

When along the pavement, palpitating flames of life, people flicker around me, I forget my bereavement, the gap in the great constellation, the place where a star used to be Picture Quote #1

She needed to get out of there. Her brains, thankfully, were still safely in her skull, but her emotions were splattered on the pavement Picture Quote #1

History is the action and reaction of these two, nature and thought - two boys pushing each other on the curbstone of the pavement Picture Quote #1

He who touches the soil of Manhattan and the pavement of New York, touches, whenever he knows or not, Walt Whitman Picture Quote #1

On the pavement of my trampled soul the steps of madmen weave the prints of rude crude words Picture Quote #1

And so taking the long way home through the market I slow my pace down. It doesn’t come naturally. My legs are programmed to trot briskly and my arms to pump up and down like pistons, but I force myself to stroll past the stalls and pavement cafes. To enjoy just being somewhere, rather than rushing from somewhere, to somewhere. Inhaling deep lungfuls of air, instead of my usual shallow breaths. I take a moment to just stop and look around me. And smile to myself. For the first time in a long time, I can, quite literally, smell the coffee Picture Quote #1

Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn’t notice Picture Quote #1

This morning I understand what it means to die: when we disappear, it is the others who die for us, for here I am, lying on a cold pavement and it is not the dying I care about; it has no more meaning this morning that it did yesterday. But never again will I see those I love, and if that is what dying is about then it really is the tragedy they say it is Picture Quote #1

I trip over my legs all the time. I’ll wave to somebody, look up, and end up eating pavement Picture Quote #1

I remember I was a child, and when I grew up I was a poet. It all happened at sixty miles an hour and on days when the clock stopped and all of humanity fit into a little chapel, into a pinecone, a shot of ouzo, a snail’s shell, a piece of soggy rye on the pavement Picture Quote #1

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavement, even if it leads nowhere? Picture Quote #1

I love being a pavement artist; seriously, I do. It’s like when guys who would normally hate being freakishly tall discover basketball, or when girls with abnormally long fingers sit down at a piano. Blending in, going unseen, being a shadow in the sun is what I’m good at. Seeing the shadows, it turns out, is not my natural gift Picture Quote #1

You can’t run forever. There’s only so much pavement that the road makers lay down. After a while, the highway quits going north and it just turns into sky. And you can’t go anywhere in the sky unless you have a plane or some kind of rocket Picture Quote #1

Why is life so tragic; so like a little strip of pavement over an abyss. I look down; I feel giddy; I wonder how I am ever to walk to the end Picture Quote #1

I had a vision... of being found on the pavement by some passerby, with a small punctuation mark ending my sentence of life Picture Quote #1

The cat crossed the street daintily, pointing his feet like a ballet dancer, lifting them high as if his feet were too good for the pavement Picture Quote #1

Illusions mistaken for truth are the pavement under our feet. They are what we call civilization Picture Quote #1

Misunderstanding is my cornerstone. It’s everyone’s, come to think of it. Illusions mistaken for truth are the pavement under our feet Picture Quote #1

I begin to long for some little language such as lovers use, broken words, inarticulate words, like the shuffling of feet on pavement Picture Quote #1

Suppose I lay down on the pavement and you run over me a few times with my own car... just for old times Picture Quote #1

Long strands of drool stretched from between his fangs and dripped on the pavement, sending a heady scent of jasmine to swirl through the air. Perfumed monster spit. What was the world coming to? Picture Quote #1

New York is the biggest mouth in the world. It appears to be prime example of the herd instinct, leading the universal urban conspiracy to beguile man from his birthright (the good ground), to hang him by his eyebrows from skyhooks above hard pavement, to crucify him, sell him, or be sold by him Picture Quote #1

Our failures can leave behind pavement or potholes. Our ability to receive grace determines which it will be Picture Quote #1
