It's the problem with age. You have all these rusty arguments, and no quarrel to use them in. My brain is a museum, but alas, I'm the only visitor, and even I am not terribly interested in the displays.
Orson Scott Card
Image
But alas! Science cannot now rescue us, for even the scientist is lost in the terrible midnight of our age. Indeed, science gave us the very instruments that threaten to bring universal suicide.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Image
Alas, by what rude fate Our lives, like ships at sea, an instant meet, Then part forever on their courses fleet.
Edmund Clarence Stedman
Image
Alas for the rarity Of Christian charity Under the sun!
Thomas Hood
Image
Alas! they had been friends in youth But whispering tongues can poison truth, And constancy lives in realms above And life is thorny, and youth is vain And to be wroth with one we love Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Alas! this time is never the time for self-denial, it is always the next time. Abstinence is so much more pleasant to contemplate upon the other side of indulgence.
George MacDonald
Image
Alas, poor Yorick! How surprised he would be to see how his counterpart of today is whisked off to a funeral parlor and is in short order sprayed, sliced, pierced, pickled, trussed, trimmed, creamed, waxed, painted, rouged and neatly dressed - transformed from a common corpse into a Beautiful Memory Picture.
Jessica Mitford
Image
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
Image
We live in an age where there is both more expression and more self-censorship than existed even a decade ago. Alas, laws have immunized internet carriers from many of the usual rules that govern public dialogue. Rights must always stay ahead of technology to assure that constitutional protections apply to all forms of communication.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
Years hence, perhaps, may dawn an age, More fortunate, alas! than we, Which without hardness will be sage, And gay without frivolity.
Matthew Arnold
Image
There are thousands of books on the joy of gardening and cooking. Alas, there are only few on the joy of living.
Robert Muller
Image
It is disgraceful when the passers-by exclaim, O ancient house! alas, how unlike is thy present master to thy former one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare
Image
Sublime Philosophy! Thou art the patriarch's ladder, reaching heaven And bright with beckoning angels—but alas! We see thee, like the patriarch, but in dreams, By the first step, dull slumbering on the earth.
Alan Judd
Image
Friendship is but a name, faith is an empty name. Alas, it is not safe to praise to a friend the object of your love as soon as he believes your praises, he slips into your place.
Ovid
Image
Alas! those good old days are gone, when a murderer could wipe the stain from his name and soothe his trouble to sleep simply by getting out his blocks and mortar and building an addition to a church.
Mark Twain
Image
God has a plan for His Church upon earth. But alas! we too often make our plan, and we think that we know what ought to be done. We ask God first to bless our feeble efforts, instead of absolutely refusing to go unless God go before us.
Andrew Murray
Image
The greatest dramas in the world are all about sex, violence and death.
Ray Winstone
Image
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! *It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.*
William Shakespeare
Image
And if that is the Foremast, what do you think that sail might be called, Mr. Wheeler? The Foresail? Very good, Mr. Wheeler, and the next one up would be called... ...The Next Sail, Sir? Alas, no, Mr. Wheeler.
L.A. Meyer
Image
Habit is the cement of society, the comfort of life, and, alas! The root of error.
Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke
Image
Behold, O Lord, that I am indignant with myself, for my senseless, profitless, hurtful, perilous passions that I loathe myself, for these inordinate, unseemly, deformed, false, shameful, disgraceful passions that my confusion is daily before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me. Alas! woe, woe! O me, how long?
Lancelot Andrewes
Image
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Miguel de Cervantes
Image
If we lose our money while traveling, think how frantically we search for it! In the same way, if we are unable to do japa even for a brief moment, we should grieve: 'Alas, Lord, I have lost so much time!' If there is such anguish, even the time we spend sleeping will not be wasted.
