Towers Quotes

Misery assails riches, as lightning does the highest towers; or as a tree that is heavy laden with fruit breaks its own boughs, so do riches destroy the virtue of their possessor Picture Quote #1

Earth walks on Earth, glittering in gold; earth goes to Earth. Sooner than it wold; earth builds on Earth, palaces and towers; earth says to Earth, soon, all shall be ours Picture Quote #1

Skill is successfully walking a tightrope between the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center. Intelligence is not trying Picture Quote #1

Aside from the posters, wherever there was room, there were books. Stacks and stacks of books. Books crammed into mismatched shelves and towers of books up to the ceiling. I liked my books Picture Quote #1

The transept belfry and the two towers were to him three great cages, the birds in which, taught by him, would sing for him alone. Yet it was these same bells which had made him deaf; but mothers are often fondest of the child who has made them suffer most Picture Quote #1

When we came within sight of the sea, the waves on the horizon, caught at intervals above the rolling abyss, were like glimpses of another shore with towers and buildings Picture Quote #1

There’s something ever egotistical in mountain tops and towers, and all things grand and lofty Picture Quote #1

Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom Picture Quote #1

Nor aught availed him now to have built in heaven high towers; nor did he scrape by all his engines, but was headlong sent with his industrious crew to build in hell Picture Quote #1

The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds; High towers fall with a heavier crash; And the lightning strikes the highest mountain Picture Quote #1

It’s a fallacy that writers have to shut themselves up in their ivory towers to write. I have all these interruptions, three of which I gave birth to. If I was thrown for a loop every time I was distracted I could never get anything done Picture Quote #1

The university must be retrospective. The gale that gives direction to the vanes on all its towers blows out of antiquity Picture Quote #1

Our main goal is to serve people as quickly as possible. You need to have towers where people need coverage Picture Quote #1

Lay a beam between these two towers of such width as we need to walk on: there is no philosophical wisdom of such great firmness that it can give us courage to walk on it as we should if it were on the ground Picture Quote #1

If you gather a lot of stuff, then you write it, write in scenes with dialogue. Somewhere in the middle, rising from all this research like strong metal towers, is your opinions Picture Quote #1

How fleeting the sorrows of youth, how slight the foundations on which the young build towers of despair Picture Quote #1

Ghostly above us in lamplight the towers gleam... and after a while they will fall to dust and rain; or else we will tear them down with impatient hands; and hew rock out of the earth, and build them again Picture Quote #1

The round towers of the castles looked as if they were so firmly encrusted in the sky that, to get to their other side, one would have to hew out a passage through the celestial marble Picture Quote #1

Managing life from our mental control towers, we have separated ourselves from our bodies and hearts Picture Quote #1

The crumbling castle, looming among the mists, exhaled the season, and every cold stone breathed it out. The tortured trees by the dark lake burned and dripped, their leaves snatched by the wind were whirled in wild circles through the towers. The clouds mouldered as they lay coiled, or shifted themselves uneasily upon the stone skyfield, sending up wreathes that drifted through the turrets and swarmed up hidden walls Picture Quote #1

Standing on the bridge, looking across at that empty city, everything in the compass of my gaze had been set there by a human hand. Somehow those pylons had been strung with wire, and those towers raised, and roofs tiled. There had been food and drink for millions of mouths. I don’t cry easy, but my vision blurred as I stared on the ruins of what we had been, and I watched the small band of men in rags move toward it to pick at it like birds on the carcass of some giant Picture Quote #1
