Quiet Quotes

To have a quiet mind is to possess one’s mind wholly; to have a calm spirit is to possess one’s self Picture Quote #1

There is no quiet place in the white man’s cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insect’s wings. But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult the ears Picture Quote #1

As order is heavenly, where quiet is had, so error is hell, or a mischief as bad Picture Quote #1

Pay no heed to those who tell you that they have relinquished place and power of their own accord, and from their love of quiet. For almost always they have been brought to this retirement by their insufficiency and against their will Picture Quote #1

Everyone has expectations. You just don’t want to have them dashed, so you’re quiet about them Picture Quote #1

I’m very quiet and shy in my personal life, as hard as that is to believe Picture Quote #1

I think people look great in black. I love that what stands out is the person, especially. Black just conveys a kind of drama, even if it can be quiet drama. It does lend to the wearer a sense of confidence Picture Quote #1

Sometimes my day is crammed full of people and talk and yet I have the feeling of living in utter peace and quiet. And the tree outside my window, in the evenings, is a greater experience than all those people put together Picture Quote #1

I am the drying meadow; you the unspoken apology; he is the fluctuating distance between mother and son; she is the first gesture that creates a quiet that is full enough to make the baby sleep. My genes, my love, are rubber bands and rope; make yourself a structure you can live inside. Amen Picture Quote #1

One of life’s quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful even if it is only a floating ash Picture Quote #1

There is no remedy so easy as books, which if they do not give cheerfulness, at least restore quiet to the most troubled mind Picture Quote #1

Scientists have discovered that the small brave act of cooperating with another person, of choosing trust over cynicism, generosity over selfishness, makes the brain light up with quiet joy Picture Quote #1

Without trust, there can be no genuine peace. Neither in politics, nor in the quiet individuality of the heart and spirit Picture Quote #1

My teeth became sour as I listened to his story. It was then that I understood why he was quiet all the time Picture Quote #1

The road was frozen. The village lay quiet under the cold sky. Komako hitched up the skirt of her kimono and tucked it into her obi. The moon shone like a blade frozen in blue ice Picture Quote #1

And his eyes frighten me, too. They’re the eyes of an old man, an old man who’s seen so much in life that he no longer cares to go on living. They’re not even desperate... just quiet and expectant, and very, very lonely, as if he were quite alone of his own free choice Picture Quote #1

She was beautiful, in the quiet way that lonely, unnoticed people are beautiful to those who notice them Picture Quote #1

... because real thoughts come from outside and travel with us like the noodle soup we take to work; in other words, inquisitors burn books in vain. If a book has anything to say, it burns with a quiet laugh, because any book worth its salt points up and out of itself Picture Quote #1

Of all human activities, writing is the one for which it is easiest to find excuses not to begin – the desk’s too big, the desk’s too small, there’s too much noise, there’s too much quiet, it’s too hot, too cold, too early, too late. I had learned over the years to ignore them all, and simply to start Picture Quote #1

In a world of monotonous horror there could be no salvation in wild dreaming. Horror he had adjusted to. But monotony was the greater obstacle, and he realized it now, understood it at long last. And understanding it seemed to give him a sort of quiet peace, a sense of having spread all the cards on his mental table, examined them, and settled conclusively on the desired hand Picture Quote #1

They say that in the hour before an earthquake the clouds hang leaden in the sky, the winds slows to a hot breath, and the birds fall quiet in the trees of the town square. Yes but these are the same portents that precede lunchtime, frankly Picture Quote #1

But, drawn to her at that moment, he felt a quiet like the voice of the rain flow over him. He knew well enough that for her it was in fact no waste of effort, but somehow the final determination that it was had the effect of distilling and purifying the woman’s existence Picture Quote #1

So quiet... it’s like... all the sounds in the world... have been stopped... only you scent... in the deepest part of my heart... echoing Picture Quote #1

She would be a mentor and an inspiration to girls like herself, the quiet ones who’d sleepwalked their way through high school, knowing nothing except that they couldn’t possibly be happy with any of the choices the world seemed to be offering them Picture Quote #1

It seems to be that loneliness is a small price to pay for peace and quiet Picture Quote #1

When it’s new and important, you have to rest in between times. And anyway, even when I like a person there is a weariness that comes. I can be with someone and everything is fine and then all of a sudden it can wash over me like a sickness, that I need the quiet of my own self. I need to unload my head and look at what I’ve got in there so far. See it. Think what it means. I always need to come back to being alone for a while Picture Quote #1

We keep quiet about what we read. Our enjoyment of a book remains a jealously guarded secret. Perhaps because there’s no need to talk, or because it takes time to distill what we’ve read before we can say anything. Silence is our guarantee of intimacy. We might have finished reading but we’re still living the book Picture Quote #1

Why did dogs make one want to cry? There was something so quiet and hopeless about their sympathy. Jasper, knowing something was wrong, as dogs always do. Trunks being packed. Cars being brought to the door. Dogs standing with drooping tails, dejected eyes. Wandering back to their baskets in the hall when the sound of the car dies away Picture Quote #1

1. Organize before they rise! 2. They feel no fear, why should you? 3. Use your head: cut off theirs. 4. Blades don’t need reloading. 5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair. 6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it. 7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike. 8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert! 9. No place is safe, only safer. 10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on Picture Quote #1
