But it’s only by having some distance from the world that you can see it whole, and understand what you should be doing with it.
Pico Iyer
Image
Between a battle lost and a battle won, the distance is immense and there stand empires.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Image
A straight line is not the shortest distance between two points.
Madeleine L'Engle
Image
Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
As a black person in America, I am twice as likely as a white person to live in an area where air pollution poses the greatest risk to my health. I am five times more likely to live within walking distance of a power plant or chemical facility, which I do.
Majora Carter

Could distance in one direction differ from distance in another? It's always faster coming home.
Michael Flynn
Image
Early on, I played one or two disturbed people, and I guess I must have been good at it, because it stuck. But, you know, I'm a regular guy. I stay home a lot, I make an effort to keep a distance from the whole social thing, the openings, the parties. I try to live in a calm way.
Christopher Walken

Like the stocks of both Berkshire and Wesco to trade within hailing distance of what we think of as intrinsic value. When it runs up, we try to talk it down. That's not at all common in Corporate America, but that's the way we act.
Charlie Munger

If you go back back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic - being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.

Call you up in the middle of the night. It's awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.
Billy Joel

Being a photographer helps me see the work differently. I always walk away seeing things differently than when I stare at them myself. It gives me a little distance. So I love photography, but it also helps me tell the story. When I shoot the ad campaign for my work, it allows me to be much more direct.
Reed Krakoff

Every relationship I've been in becomes long-distance because of work. It's never worked out. It puts an intense strain on the relationship, and at a certain point, it becomes too difficult.
Anton Yelchin

The laws all true wanderers obey are these: 'Thou shalt not eat nor drink more than thy share,' 'Thou shalt not lie about the places thou hast visited or the distances thou hast traversed.
Rosita Forbes

It's stupid, I know, but I care. All the things that meant so much when we were young. Under the blankets late at night, listening to long-distance radio. All those things lost now or broken. Can you remember? Can you remember that feeling? Perhaps I ought to go to a doctor.
Grant Morrison
Image
God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!
Jim Elliot
Image
Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
The imagination demands that life be told slant because of its need of distance.
John McGahern
Image
Past tense offers authority, distance, and present tense offers emotional immediacy.

The Infinite has to be a relative concept. Go any distance: an infinite space means that there is more to be explored.
