Stirring Quotes - Page 4

• Thank you, restlessness, as challenging a traveling companion as there could be. In the end, my embrace of you was what sent me on the only search that really counts. Responding to you was the stirring that led me to sit every morning and to venture into that invisible terrain where seeker and sought merge and rest together, once and for all eternity.

  Rod Stryker

• I really enjoy making people laugh; I've discovered that's a great technique. That's as powerful as stirring their sorrow, stirring their compassion, because that befriends you to them. It engages you with them and then you can come in; they will remember that point.

• Anticipar, no sólo la salida del sol y el amanecer, sino, si es posible, ¡la naturaleza misma! Cuántas mañanas, en verano y en invierno, antes de que ningún vecino se ocupara de sus asuntos, me he ocupado yo de los míos... ¡Cuántos días de otoño, ay, e invierno, pasados fuera de la ciudad, tratando de oír lo que soplaba el viento, de oírlo y llevarlo expreso! Casi hundí todo mi capital en ello, y perdí mi propio aliento en el negocio, corriendo en su cara.

  Henry David Thoreau

• They play in the Meadow. The dancing girl with the dark hair and blue eyes. The boy with blond curls and gray eyes, struggling to keep up with her on his chubby toddler legs. It took five, ten, fifteen years for me to agree. But Peeta wanted them so badly. When I first felt her stirring inside of me, I was consumed with a terror that felt as old as life itself. Only the joy of holding her in my arms could tame it.

  Suzanne Collins

• La poesía es muy juguetona con el lenguaje. Creo que toda poesía, en el fondo, es juguetona. Hace cosas inusuales y juguetonas con el lenguaje, lo agita. Y la prosa no hace eso. En primer lugar, no lo intenta.

• The history of mankind for the last four centuries is rather like that of an imprisoned sleeper, stirring clumsily and uneasily while the prison that restrains and shelters him catches fire, not waking but incorporating the crackling and warmth of the fire with ancient and incongruous dreams, than like that of a man consciously awake to danger and opportunity.

• The sounds proceeding from the instruments of symphonic music seem to be the very organs of the mysteries of creation; for they reveal, as it were, the primal stirrings of creation which brought order out of chaos long before the human heart was there to behold them.

• Something told the wild geese
  It was time to go.
  Though the fields lay golden
  Something whispered, "snow."
  Leaves were green and stirring,
  Berries, luster-glossed,
  But beneath warm feathers
  Something cautioned, "frost."
  All the sagging orchards
  Steamed with amber spice
  But each wild breast stiffened
  At remembered ice.
  Something told the wild geese
  It was time to fly-
  Summer sun was on their wings,
  Winter in their cry.

• Who can confidently say what ignites a certain combination of words, causing them to explode in the mind? Who knows why certain notes in music are capable of stirring the listener deeply, though the same notes slightly rearranged are impotent? These are high mysteries, and this chapter is a mystery story, thinly disguised.

• One has the impression that something is stirring inside [photographs] - it is as if one can hear little cries of despair, gémissements de désespoir... as if the photographs themselves had a memory and were remembering us and how we, the surviving, and those who preceded us, once were.

• Por el bosque he ido. Pero no he encontrado a ningún ateniense, en cuyos ojos pueda aprobar la fuerza de esta flor para conmover el amor. Noche y silencio. ¿Quién está aquí? Hierbas de Atenas lleva: Este es, dijo mi amo, el que despreció a la doncella ateniense; y aquí la doncella, durmiendo profundamente, en el húmedo y sucio suelo. ¡Bonita alma! No se atrevería a yacer cerca de esta falta de amor, de esta cortesía asesina. Churl, sobre tus ojos arrojo todo el poder que este encanto debe. Cuando despiertes, que el amor no permita que duerma en tu párpado: Despierta cuando me haya ido, pues ahora debo ir a Oberón.

• Eric followed Vlad Tepes’s stubby finger, identifying me as the future Happy Meal. Then he stared at Dracula, looking up from his kneeling position. I couldn’t read his face at all, and I felt a stirring of fear. What would Charlie Brown have done if the Great Pumpkin wanted to eat the little red-haired girl?

• This is the first kiss that we're both fully aware of. Neither of us hobbled by sickness or pain or simply unconscious. Our lips neither burning with fever or icy cold. This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another.

• The political awakening that is happening worldwide is a major challenge for America, because it means that the world is much more restless. It's stirring. It has aspirations which are not easily satisfied. And if America is to lead, it has to relate itself somehow to these new, lively, intense political aspirations, which make our age so different from even the recent past.

• ¿Qué haces?", jadeó. "Vas por ahí, revolviéndolo todo". "Tengo tiempo libre", le respondí, igual de jadeante, "desde que dejé al gilipollas de mi novio". Gruñó, ferozmente apasionado, su mano en mi pelo tirando tan fuerte que me dolió. "No puedes arreglar esto con un beso o un f*ck, Gideon. Esta vez no". Gideon y Eva

• The charged life, then, usually calls to us after we have done what we were supposed to do, become who we thought we were supposed to be, lived as we thought we were supposed to live. Then the safety and comfort and compromise get to us, and a stirring of restlessness and revolution sends us off in search of greater adventures and meaning. From THE CHARGE

• She was a keen observer, a precise user of language, sharp-tongued and funny. She could stir your emotions. Yes, really, that's what she was so good at - stirring people's emotions, moving you. And she knew she had this power...I only realized later. At the time, I had no idea what she was doing to me.

• For many of us, the hospital was as much a refuge as it was a prison. Though we were cut off from the world and all the trouble we enjoyed stirring up out there, we were also cut off from the demands and expectations that had driven us crazy. What could be expected of us now that we were stowed away in a loony bin?

• If you have a faith, it is statistically overwhelmingly likely that it is the same faith as your parents and grandparents had. No doubt soaring cathedrals, stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth. The convictions that you so passionately believe would have been a completely different, and largely contradictory, set of convictions, if only you had happened to be born in a different place.
