The straight line is regarded as the shortest distance between two people, as if they were points.
Theodor Adorno
Image
You have to keep your sanity as well as know how to distance yourself from it while still holding onto the reins tightly. That is a very difficult thing to do, but I'm learning.
Diahann Carroll
Image
The upshot of all this is that we live in a universe whose age we can't quite compute, surrounded by stars whose distances we don't altogether know, filled with matter we can't identify, operating in conformance with physical laws whose properties we don’t truly understand.
Bill Bryson
Image
There seemed to be a mystifying universal conspiracy among textbook authors to make certain the material they dealt with never strayed too near the realm of the mildly interesting and was always at least a long-distance phone call from the frankly interesting.
Bill Bryson
Image
Commitment. Someone who'll go the distance. I need somebody with staying power who'll make me go weak in the knees. Commitment. And everything that goes with it. I need honor and love in my life from somebody who's playing for keeps.
LeAnn Rimes
Image
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart
Image
Thoughts race, as if, in a mind devoid of memory, each idea has too much space to grow and move, to collide with others in a shower of sparks before spinning off into its own distance.
S.J. Watson
Image
Ronald Reagan memorably combined intimacy with distance.
James M Strock

Two infinities: the one that stretches to the beginning but never touches-when you halve and halve and halve, infinitely-and then the one that spreads out into the endless, endless future, the endless, endless, distance.The set of infinities that is itself infinite.
David Levithan

My dad taught us that there's no greater distance than that between first and second place.
Janet Jackson

I don't think the philosophy really changes between men and women. I think golf courses need to become more distance-friendly overall. I think golf courses almost need to develop a more generic set of tees instead of calling them black, blue, red or whatever.
Amy Alcott

David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.

Voyaging great distances -- through forests, from island to island, across plains and into the mountains -- is all about finding ourselves.
Tim Lebbon
Image
If a man makes me keep my distance, the comfort is, he keeps his at the same time.
Jonathan Swift
Image
Distance is the Enemy of Awareness.
J. B. MacKinnon
Image
To travel is to discover that everybody is wrong. The philosophies, the civilizations which seem, at a distance, so superior to those current at home, all prove on a close inspection to be in their own way just as hopelessly imperfect.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We're all torn between the desire for privacy and the fear of lonliness. We need each other and we need to get away from each other. We need proximity and distance, conversation and silence. We almost always get more of each than we want at any one time.
Andy Rooney
Image
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
And if any of you want some tips on running, don't be in a hurry, and never let any of the other runners know you are in a hurry even if you are. You can always overtake on long-distance running without letting others smell the hurry in you.
Colin S. Smith
Image
In the world of movie personalities the distance between popularity and politics is short.
Shirley Temple
Image
Light belongs to the heart and spirit. Light attracts people, it shows the way, and when we see it in the distance, we follow it.
Ricardo Legorreta
Image
In general, any form of exercise, if pursued continuously, will help train us in perseverance. Long-distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
Mao Zedong
Image
My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled.
Bill Rodgers

Distance, n. The only thing that the rich are willing for the poor to call theirs and keep.
