It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture. (Oswald Spengler)
How could I help if tears were starting? Goodbye to tender nights beside the silv'ry sea. I longed to hold you near and kiss you just once more, But you were on the ship and I was on the shore. View quote
Jimmy Kennedy
Come now, my child, if we were planning to harm you, do you think we'd be lurking here beside the path in the very darkest part of the forest? View quote
Kenneth Patchen
Time comes to us softly, slowly. It sits beside us for a while. Then, long before we are ready, it moves on. View quote
Jacqueline Woodson
Oh let thy fear within me dwell, Thy love my footsteps guide ; That love shall vainer loves expel, That fear all fears beside. View quote
James Merrick
From me you fly! Ah! let me crave, By these poor tears, that hand you gave- Since, parting with my woman's pride, My madness leaves me nought beside- By that our wedlock, by the rite Which, but begun, could yet unite, If e'er my kindness held you bound, If e'er in me your joy you found, Look on this falling house, and still, If prayer can touch you, change your will. View quote
John Conington
Women were created from the rib of man to be beside him, not from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled by him, but from under his arm to be protected by him, near to his heart to be loved by him. View quote
Matthew Henry
The majestic king of Troy slipped past the rest and kneeling down beside Achilles, clasped his knees and kissed his hands, those terrible, man-killing hands that had slaughtered Priam's many sons in battle. View quote
Homer
Ah son! compel me not to speak The sorrows of our race! That youth the Fates but just display To earth, nor let him longer stay: With gifts like these for aye to hold, Rome's heart had e'en been overbold. Ah! what a groan from Mars's plain Shall o'er the city sound! How wilt thou gaze on that long train, Old Tiber, rolling to the main Beside his new-raised mound! No youth of Ilium's seed inspires With hope as fair his Latian sires: Nor Rome shall dandle on her knee A nursling so adored as he. O piety! O ancient faith! O hand untamed in battle scathe! No foe had lived before his sword, Stemmed he on foot the war's red tide Or with relentless rowel gored His foaming charger's side. Dear child of pity! shouldst thou burst The dungeon-bars of Fate accurst, Our own Marcellus thou! View quote
John Conington
There and then, sitting beside her and within the strength of my adoration, I felt invincible. View quote
Hisham Matar
Because of the distrust that has grown from our experience, we are very careful whom we welcome. We are selective in our companions, we look suspiciously those who sit beside us in a bar and start talking to us: "is he crazy? What's he up to?” we wonder. The city becomes a desert. With groups of friends who are nobody else's friends. As Emily Dickinson, the reclusive poet, once wrote: "The soul selects its own society, then shuts the door.”. (Michael Elmore-Meegan)
I just want to be beside you everywhere, As long as we're together, honey, I don't care, cause you've started something, Oh, can't you see? That ever since we met You've had a hold on me. View quote
Mike Hawker
.... People think that when you get saved, you're crazy. Did you ever wonder why? What would you think if you were standing beside the road and you saw the local Baptist church go by in pieces? Would you think they had all their marbles, huh? Would you think they had both oars in the water, huh? Huh? Wouldn't you think that maybe their porchlight was out? View quote
Mike Warnke
I was left alone there in the company of the orchids, roses and violets, which, like people waiting beside you who do not know you, preserved a silence which their individuality as living things made all the more striking, and warmed themselves in the heat of a glowing coal fire... View quote
Marcel Proust
Thus will the traveller return - by and by - to the place of his starting; the legend of the second coming of the Redeemer will be justified, in, at all events, my lesser world; and the tale to Manuel's life will have come again, as it did once beside the pool of Haranton, full circle. View quote
James Branch Cabell
At the gate of the garden, beside the lingham post which stood there in eternal erection, sat a boy who was diverting himself by whittling, with a small green-handled knife, a bit of cedar-wood into the quaint shaping which the post had. View quote
James Branch Cabell
And you are here beside me, small, Contained and fragile, and intent On things that I but half recall - Yet going whither you are bent. I am the past, and that is all. View quote
Yvor Winters
The young girl stood beside me. I Saw not what her young eyes could see: -A light, she said, not of the sky Lives somewhere in the Orange Tree. View quote
Shaw Neilson
To the fanatical believer physical and spiritual suffering is beside the point, compared with salvation. That is why, to him, everything happening around him is irrelevant, a mirror-image, a mere will-o'-the-wisp. ... I can really never get shot of them, the fanatics. Whether they appear as religious fanatics or vegetarian fanatics makes no odds. They're catastrophic people. View quote
Ingmar Bergman
He was there beside her, yet she was far away from him, aone with her outraged love and her ruined life. View quote
Edith Hamilton
... the wreck of the Batavia provides the greatest dramatic tragedy in Australian history, beside which the Mutiny on the Bounty is an anaemic tale. (Thomas Davies Mutch)
In the future no human being is to find peace in the enjoyment of happiness if others beside him are unhappy. View quote
Rudolf Steiner
Julie always tried to stand beside me, or talk to me, or in some other way mortify me. View quote
Wendelin Van Draanen
The moving moon went up the sky, And nowhere did abide Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside. View quote
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The German who is still free from all Slav or Celtic alloy has a distinctive character and vies with all his equals. When he is allied with other races, provided he has the necessary patience and endurance he always succeeds in becoming, the chief, the directing will, as the husband must be in a household. I have no desire to offend the Slavs, but it is very necessary to recognise that their character has much of the feminine in it: they have charm, intelligence, artifice, address, and often the Germans appear heavy and clumsy beside them. But we always carry the day, and that is why I would like to say to you: when you are doing business with your Slav rivals, even at moments of the most violent anger and in the most critical situations, always retain the profound conviction, the most profound but secret conviction, that you are fundamentally their superiors, and that you always will be so.
