And the answer, said the judge. If God meant to interfere in the degeneracy of mankind would he not have done so by now? Wolves cull themselves, man. What other creature could? And is the race of man not more predacious yet? The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the noon of his expression signals the onset of night. His spirit is exhausted at the peak of its achievement. His meridian is at once his darkening and the evening of his day. He loves games? Let him play for stakes. This you see here, these ruins wondered at by tribes of savages, do you not think that this will be again? Aye. And again. With other people, with other sons. (Cormac McCarthy)
``I Like Simone very much. Potentially, there is a talent to bloom out. She is a beautiful woman, her repertory is very good and she is very well orientated by Flavio Rangel and Nelson Ayres´´. View quote
Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira
I still haven't forgiven C. S. Lewis for going on all those long walks with J. R. R. Tolkien and failing to strangle him, thus to save us from hundreds of pages dripping with the wizardly wisdom of Gandalf and from the kind of movie in which Orlando Bloom defiantly flexes his delicate jaw at thousands of computer-generated orcs. In fact it would have been ever better if C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien could have strangled each other, so that we could also have been saved from the Chronicles of Narnia. View quote
Clive James
I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit touch it and the bloom is gone. View quote
Oscar Wilde
The vilest deeds like poison-weeds Bloom well in prison-air It is only what is good in Man That wastes and withers there Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate And the warder is Despair. View quote
Oscar Wilde
People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom? View quote
Nhat Hanh
Sometimes I think illness sits inside every woman, waiting for the right moment to bloom. View quote
Gillian Schieber Flynn
Dr Lecter, my candidate for the male archetype of 1951-2000, will never win any Nice Guy awards, I fear, but he symbolizes our age as totally as Bloom symbolized his. Hannibal's wit, erudition, insight into others, artistic sensitivity, scientific knowledge etc. make him almost a walking one man encyclopedia of Western civilization. View quote
Robert Anton Wilson
I regard the two major male archetypes in 20th Century literature as Leopold Bloom and Hannibal Lecter. View quote
Robert Anton Wilson
Bloom, exploited and downtrodden by the Brits for being Irish and rejected by many of the Irish for being Jewish, does indeed epiphanize humanity in the first half of the 20th Century. And he remains a nice guy despite everything that happens... View quote
Robert Anton Wilson
Imperfect markets are different. (...) Similarly, in Paul Krugman's neat adaptation, "all perfect markets are perfect in the same way: all imperfect markets imperfect in their own different way.” But truly perfect markets exist only in economists' models; in the real world, markets are imperfect. But within imperfect markets there is a range from those that work well enough for a laissez-faire approach to be broadly valid to those for which market failure or imperfection is extreme and inherent. The market for restaurants works pretty well. The best way to ensure a range of restaurants that provide us with variety, incentives for good service, and enjoyment of changing ambience and menu is to let entrepreneurship do its business-let thousands of flowers bloom, some to succeed and some to wilt. (Adair Turner, Baron Turner of Ecchinswell)
A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn. View quote
C. Northcote Parkinson
The Widow Rowens was now in the full bloom of ornamental sorrow. View quote
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Before the seed there comes the thought of bloom. View quote
E. B. White
Whether or not you agree with Ayn Rand - and I have certain issues with some of her beliefs - the woman can tell a story. I mean, the novel as an art form is just in full florid bloom in 'Atlas Shrugged.' It's an unbelievable story. The characters are so compelling, and what she's saying is mind-expanding. View quote
Anne Hathaway
Are we to look at cherry blossoms only in full bloom, the moon only when it is cloudless To long for the moon while looking on the rain, to lower the blinds and be unaware of the passing of the spring - these are even more deeply moving. Branches about to blossom or gardens strewn with flowers are worthier of our admiration. View quote
Yoshida Kenkō
Fly not yet 't is just the hour When pleasure, like the midnight flower That scorns the eye of vulgar light, Begins to bloom for sons of night And maids who love the moon. View quote
Charles Lamb
We lose our hair, our teeth Our bloom, our ideals. View quote
Samuel Beckett
I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool. View quote
Daniel Radcliffe
The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom and fruitage in prayer. View quote
Edward McKendree Bounds
Why should I be unhappy? Each parcel of my being is in full bloom. (Rumi)
This is the Hall of Wisdom. No one can reveal it, no one can hide it. Like a flower it must grow and bloom in thy soul. If thou wouldst plant the seed of this flower in thy soul - learn to discern the real from the false. Listen only to the Voice that is soundless... Look only on that which is invisible, and remember that in thee thyself, is the Temple and the gate to it, and the mystery, and the initiation. View quote
P. D. Ouspensky
When we see the beauty of the snow, when we see the beauty of the full moon, when we see the beauty of the cherries in bloom, when in short we brush against and are awakened by the beauty of the four seasons, it is then that we think most of those close to us, and want them to share the pleasure.

Yasunari Kawabata
I think it's a good thing to have a lot of voices in the media, and I think, you know, let all flowers bloom. View quote
Cokie Roberts
Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side Some great cause, God's new Messiah offering each the bloom or blight, Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light. View quote
James Russell Lowell
