We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity.
J. C. Ryle
Image
If life was an arc of light that began in darkness, ended in darkness, the first part of his life had happened in ordinary glare. Here it was as though he had found a polarized lens that deepened and intensified all seen through it.
Annie Proulx
Image
No one can achieve Serenity until the glare of passion is past the meridian.
Cyril Connolly
Image
Icy glares from vampires are far icier than icy glares from people and when the vampire giving you an icy glare is originally from Iceland, you're confronted with the archetypal origin of the term, and you shouldn't be surprised if your core body temperature drops a few degrees.
Kevin Hearne
Image
Over the summit, I saw the so-called Mono desert lying dreamily silent in the thick, purple light -- a desert of heavy sun-glare beheld from a desert of ice-burnished granite.
John Muir
Image
It is with books as with women, where a certain plainness of manner and of dress is more engaging than that glare of paint and airs and apparel which may dazzle the eye, but reaches not the affections.
David Hume
Image
... but the greatest wisdom is blinded by the glare of vanity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The reason so many celebrities try to keep things secret is you want the chance to get to know someone without the glare of public scrutiny.
Jesse Metcalfe

Her dark-eyed glare narrowed on me. You could have least given him a shirt, Kaylee. Like you're an expert on when it's appropriate to wear a shirt. Sabine bristled. This seems headed into girl-fight territory, Tod said. Should I make popcorn?
Rachel Vincent
Image
You have one of two choices. Either you can panic and start making frantic attempts to reform under the glare of these awful critical eyes, or you can just say, The hell with you! I know what I'm doing. If you don't yet, it's because you haven't given me an attentive reading.
Saul Bellow
Image
If, in all the cities, every house that is past repairing could be pulled down or burned up, how great would be the crash, how heaven-high the conflagration. It would be a veritable crack of Doom and glare of the Judgment.
Albion Fellows Bacon
Image
One of the nice things about being a private company is operating without the intensity of public glare. It's hard to grow a company under a microscope of constant second guessing.
Sarah Lacy
Image
She dropped her shyness like a nightgown, and in the liquid glare of sunlight on old boards she held up her hands-as if, in the terror of the upcoming skirmish, she had at last understood that she was beautiful. In her own way.
Gregory Maguire
Image
They say it's not the snoring itself but those anxiety-packed moments in between snorts. It's the waiting for the nasal passages of the person lying beside you to strike again. And strike it always does. In the dark, almost against your will, you produce that special glare reserved for people who cannot control their own behaviour.
Sloane Crosley
Image
Close your mouth, block off your senses, blunt your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare, settle your dust. This is the primal identity.
Laozi
Image
Wear a smile and have friends wear a scowl and have wrinkles.
George Eliot
Image
It takes so much to be a king that he exists only as such. That extraneous glare that surrounds him hides him and conceals him from us our sight breaks and is dissipated by it being filled and arrested by this strong light.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Cynicism cripples our imagination and limits our ability to see faint possibilities amidst glaring problems.
Cory Booker
Image
And each forgets, as he strips and runs With a brilliant, fitful pace, It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones Who win in the lifelong race. And each forgets that his youth has fled, Forgets that his prime is past, Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead, In the glare of the truth at last.
Robert W. Service
Image
There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.
James Thurber
Image
All see, and most admire, the glare which hovers round the external trappings of elevated office. To me there is nothing in it, beyond the lustre which may be reflected from its connection with a power of promoting human felicity.
George Washington
Image
But why didn't you just ask me? I set down my fork and glare at her. Because you were sleeping, She says, taking a sip if Chardonnay. I was taking a nap, Mom. It wasn't intended to be some kind of Disney fairy-tale hundred-year snooze.
Alyson Noel
Image
Hey, times are tough, and thirty gold coins can do a lot of good. But I guess you wouldn't know about needing money, since you grew up like a little princ... (Rapunzel glares) Prin... soner. I mean, prisoner! A prisoner in a tower, such a shame, that.
Shannon Hale
Image
Not too fast, called Raoul. Let's not scare anyone. His majesty said with all deliberate speed! chirped the courier. He flinched under Lerant's glare. That's how we're doing it, Raoul told him. Deliberately.
