Travelling Quotes - page 5
Now there is little difference, except packaging, between a Mac and a Windows machine. Not no difference, but at home we have - along with six Macs (one for everybody plus my travelling iBook) - three PCs and one Linux box, and I can move from one to the other without having to think about it much. What used to be a night-and-day difference in usability has become a small increment in Apple's favor.
Jef Raskin
It was no affair for the watch: Satan was at large tonight and Satan seemed to be he who appeared dimly in front, heel over gate, knee over fence. Moreover, the adversary was obviously travelling near home or at least in that section of London consecrated to his coarser whims, for the street narrowed like a road in a picture and the houses bent over further and further, cooping in natural ambushes suitable for murder and its histrionic sister, sudden death.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I write incredibly slowly. And, on top of that, I spent my entire youth and twenties working like a dog, so one of the things that happened when I finished 'Drown' was that I got busy living. I'd never travelled, I'd never seen anything. So I did as much travelling as my job teaching would allow.
Junot Diaz
My spring has been much better than every travelling springs of the last two years - I have been working - or trying to work my garden into a kind of permanent shape... At the moment I have three rose bushes so full of red and yellow roses that they look on fire - they are really astonishing - You would really laugh to see them - two are very tall - the other smaller - It is a rose that is the reddest red on top and yellow underneath - then sometimes a few spots that are deep butter yellow - and an odd iris - dirty lavender petals reaching up - a pale lavender mixed with yellow that greys it and yellow petals mixed with a little lavender drooping down - very handsome - There are lots of ordinary colors too - many kinds. Well - that's my life.
Georgia O'Keeffe
The waves of light are not anything mechanical or material, but are something electrical and magnetic-they are, in fact, electrical disturbances periodic in space and time, and travelling with a known and tremendous speed through the ether of space. Their very existence depends upon the ether, and their speed of propagation is its best known and most certain quantitative property.
Oliver Lodge
A travelling kiss whose journey was cut short by dismay when Karna realised that his mother had revealed herself to him only to secure the safety of her five other, more beloved sons - the Pandavas - poised on the brink of their epic battle with their one hundred cousins. It is then that Kunti sought to protect by announcing to Karna that she was his mother. She had a promise to extract. She invoked the Love Laws.
