Glance backward, look heavenward, reach outward, press onward
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Glance is the enemy of vision.
Ezra Pound
Image
He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also.
Waqar Younis
Image
Love sometimes elevates, creates new qualities, suspends the working of evil inclinations but only for a day. Love, then, is an Oriental despot, whose glance lifts a slave from the dust, and then consigns him to it again.
Sophie Swetchine
Image
Again and again I've taken quick glances and then for some reason I've got to sit before a picture waiting and it's opened up like one of those Japanese flowers that you put into water and something I thought wasn't worth more than a casual, respectful glance begins to open up depth after depth of meaning.
Wendy Beckett
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
If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions of the human mind.
Wilhelm von Humboldt
Image
You drive the landscape like a herd of clouds Moving against your horizontal tower Of steadfast speed. All England lies beneath you like a woman With limbs ravished By one glance carrying all these eyes.
Stephen Spender
Image
Labor is blossoming or dancing where The body is not bruised to pleasure soul, Nor beauty born out of its own despair, Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil. O chestnut tree, great-rooted blossomer, Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole? O body swayed to music, O brightening glance How can we know the dancer from the dance?
William Butler Yeats
Image
The two women exchanged the type of glance women use when there is no knife handy.
Sydney Smith
Image
In my workshop, I like to have the TV on for background noise, but I only put on shows that you don't really need to watch in serial order stuff you can glance up every once in a while and still know what's going on for example, Cops reruns, Jeopardy!, and Forensic Files.
William Gurstelle
Image
When it was her own doing, she was always tempted to skip a day, or just glance down, then get back to the ground. Kel had to force herself to keep her vow.
Tamora Pierce
Image
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to Earth, from Earth to heaven and as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet's pen turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name such tricks hath strong imagination.
William Shakespeare
Image
Once in Persia reigned a king Who upon his signet ring Graved a maxim true and wise, Which if held before the eyes Gave him counsel at a glance Fit for every change and chance. Solemn words, and these are they: Even this shall pass away.
Theodore Tilton
Image
The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love, The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.
William Shakespeare
Image
In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
The greatest ownership of all is to glance around and understand.
William Stafford
Image
A glance, a word -- and joy or pain befalls.... How slight the links are in the chain that binds us to our destiny!
Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Image
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
Image
To brisk notes in cadence beating, glance their many-twinkling feet.
Thomas Gray
Image
The whole, though it be long, stands almost complete and finished in my mind so that I can survey it at a glance. Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them, as it were, all at once. What delight this is I cannot tell!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
After years of practice, I can walk into a bookstore and understand its layout in a few seconds. I can glance at the spine of a book and make a good guess at its content from a number of signs.
Umberto Eco
Image
I glance at Tris. She grins at me, then leans in to whisper something to Christina. Are you here to help or what, Stiff? I say.
Veronica Roth
Image
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo
