[On collectors of quotations:] How far our literature may in future suffer from these blighting swarms, will best be conceived by a glance at what they have already withered and blasted of the favourite productions of our most popular poets.
Maria Edgeworth
Image
As but a swift glance is enough to catch the glory of a great landscape, or only a little lingering is necessary to observe many peculiar beauties in it, so but a brief turn of the mind to sublime thoughts will give us their light and power.
James Vila Blake
Image
The greatest ownership of all is to glance around and understand.
William Stafford
Image
Many works of the past complete what they announce they are going to do, to our increasing boredom. Certain others plague me because I cannot follow their intentions. I can tell at a glance what Fabritius is doing, but I am spending my life trying to find out what Rembrandt was up to.
Philip Guston
Image
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
Alan Rickman
Image
IM is interesting because you look at your buddy list and, at a glance, see what your friends are listening to, what they're working on, what they're doing. The problem was that you were bound to the computer keyboard.
Jack Dorsey
Image
the whole world is caught in her glance and at last the universe is magnificent.
Charles Bukowski
Image
The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.
Jodi Picoult
Image
Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral: a thing as simple and specious as a statue to the first glance, and yet on examination, as lively and interesting as a forest in detail.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
The sidelong glance is what you depend on.
Robert Frost
Image
Symmetry is what we see at a glance based on the fact that there is no reason for any difference.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Never look back, except for an occasional glance, look ahead and plan for the future. Success is not built on past laurels, but rather on a continuous activity. Keep busy searching out new ideas and, experimentally, keep ahead of the times, or at least up with them.
Dorothy Draper
Image
My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
Erma Bombeck
Image
Hey, which one of them is supposed to be your boyfriend?” Stark asked me. Even in the terrible shape he was in, he caught my glance with his. His voice was scratchy, and he sounded scarily weak, but his eyes sparkled with humor. I am!” Heath and Erik said together.
P. C. Cast
Image
At first glance a photograph can inform us. At second glance it can reach us.
Minor White
Image
I am not fitted to give concerts. The audience intimidates me, I feel choked by its breath, paralyzed by its curious glances, struck dumb by all those strange faces.
Frederic Chopin
Image
I took one glance at her in that hospital bed under the dull light and recognised the look on her face, which I'd seen on donors often enough before. It was like she was willing her eyes to see right inside herself, so she could patrol and marshal all the better the separate areas of pain in her body.
Kazuo Ishiguro
Image
Rich men are resolved to be astonished at nothing. When they see a masterpiece, they must needs at one glance recognize some flaw to dispense them from admiration, a vulgar emotion.
Honore de Balzac
Image
...The girl raised her eyes to see who was passing by the window, and that casual glance was the beginning of a cataclysm of love that still had not ended half a century later.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Image
The opposite of a glance... is a glimpse: because in a glance, we see only for a second, and in a glimpse, the object shows itself only for a second.
James Elkins
Image
Let us not satisfy ourselves with a knowledge of God in the mass a glance upon a picture never directs you to the discerning the worth and art of it.
Stephen Charnock
Image
I won't deny that I'm in touch with my feminine side. If I'm in a lift and there's no one in there, I'll have a glance and check my hair. And if there's someone in there, I'll still check it.
Jack P. Shepherd
Image
To be content with life or to live merrily, rather all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
Image
If I never meet you In this life Let me feel the lack A glance from your eyes Then my life Will be yours
