Unset Quotes

I think it’s relatively easy for people to accept something like telepathy or precognition or teleplasm because their willingness to believe doesn’t cost them anything. It doesn’t keep them awake nights. But the idea that the evil that men do lives after them is unsettling Picture Quote #1

The contemplation of beauty, whether it be a uniquely tinted sunset, a radiant face, or a work of art, makes us glance back unwittingly at our personal past and juxtapose ourselves and our inner being with the utterly unattainable beauty revealed to us Picture Quote #1

We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, and no sunrise finds us where left by sunset. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of that tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind to be scattered Picture Quote #1

Night falls. Or has fallen. Why is it that night falls, instead of rising, like the dawn? Yet if you look east, at sunset, you can see night rising, not falling; darkness lifting into the sky, up from the horizon, like a black sun behind cloud cover. Like smoke from an unseen fire, a line of fire just below the horizon, brushfire or a burning city. Maybe night falls because it’s heavy, a thick curtain pulled up over the eyes. Wool blanket Picture Quote #1

It was so easy to disown what you couldn’t recognize, to keep yourself apart from things that were foreign and unsettling. The only person you can be sure to control, always, is yourself. Which is a lot to be sure of, but at the same time, not enough Picture Quote #1

I’ve decided that if I had my life to live over again, I would not only climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets; I wouldn’t only jettison my hot water bottle, raincoat, umbrella, parachute, and raft; I would not only go barefoot earlier in the spring and stay out later in the fall; but I would devote not one more minute to monitoring my spiritual growth. No, not one Picture Quote #1

For the first time in forever, he was stunned to silence. Not by her words, but by the tenderness in her hands, the worry in her eyes. He was an archangel. He’d been wounded far, far worse and shrugged it off. But then, there had been no woman with sun kissed by the sunset and eyes of storm gray to tear into him for daring to get himself hurt Picture Quote #1

Looking at a sunset, just for a second you forget your separateness: you are the sunset. That is the moment when you feel the beauty of it. But the moment you say that it is a beautiful sunset, you are no longer feeling it; you have come back to your separate, enclosed entity of the ego. Now the mind is speaking. And this is one of the mysteries, that the mind can speak, and knows nothing; and the heart knows everything, and cannot speak Picture Quote #1

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he’s carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he’s carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you’re drunk Picture Quote #1

No one should deny the danger of the descent, but it can be risked. No one need risk it, but it is certain that someone will. And let those who go down the sunset way do so with open eyes, for it is a sacrifice which daunts even the gods. Yet every descent is followed by an ascent Picture Quote #1

Love of colors bewilders the eye and it fails to see right. Love of harmonies bewitches the ear, and it loses its true hearing. Love of perfumes fills the head with dizziness. Love of flavors ruins the taste. Desires unsettle the heart until the original nature runs amok. These five are enemies of true life. Yet these are what men of discernment claim to live for. They are not what I live for. If this is life, then pigeons in a cage have found happiness! Picture Quote #1

He lay back for a little in his bed thinking about the smells of food... of the intoxicating breath of bakeries and dullness of buns... He planned dinners, of enchanting aromatic foods... endless dinners, in which one could alternate flavour with flavour from sunset to dawn without satiety, while one breathed great draughts of the bouquet of old brandy Picture Quote #1

I’m lost in a transition. The old is dead, and I don’t know what the new is. The only way to find the new is to start different things and see if there’s something that can come out of experimentation. It’s somewhat unsettling, but it’s a hopeful thing in a way. I’ve been here before, lots of times Picture Quote #1

The press gave me a voice too quickly, and that could have unsettled a man who had every right to feel he should be in control of the thing he had created Picture Quote #1

To ignore one’s spiritual self is unsettling, to say the least. That’s a very profound outlook on it Picture Quote #1

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it’s so great, because for a little bit I’m out of my brain, and it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? and I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness Picture Quote #1

I remarked constantly, just at sunset, in these latitudes, that the eastern horizon was brilliantly illuminated with a kind of mock sunset. This in a short time disappeared, to be soon succeeded by another similar in character, but more faint Picture Quote #1

The ploughman knows how many acres he shall upturn from dawn to sunset: but the thinker knows not what a day may bring forth Picture Quote #1

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset Picture Quote #1

We see many fine sunsets here, unique in the splendour of their colour. No doubt the surroundings in this fairyland of blue and white do much to increase their beauty Picture Quote #1

He was the chief of all the horses; and when he snorted, it was a flash of lightning and his eyes were like the sunset star Picture Quote #1

A pair of lovers are like sunset and sunrise: There are such things every day but we very seldom see them Picture Quote #1

Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years; one season following another, laden with happiness and tears Picture Quote #1

We have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour before sunset in which to win them Picture Quote #1

I should allow only my heart to have imagination; and for the rest rely on memory, that long drawn sunset of one’s personal truth Picture Quote #1

Our seasons have no fixed returns, without our will they come and go; at noon our sudden summer burns, ere sunset all is snow 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

Today I seen a dove collide into the sunset, on the way to heaven and a ruined raven chewing on death, over the pavement Picture Quote #1

It’s okay. We aren’t in the same class. Just don’t forget that some of us watch the sunset too Picture Quote #1

All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks Picture Quote #1
