We've removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.
Jesse Jackson
Image
Do not believe that man grows. No: he is born suddenly-a word, in a moment, penetrates his heart to a new throb. One scene can hurl him down from the ceiling of childhood on to the ruggedness of the road.
Ghassan Kanafani

I thought of the one thing about home that I missed, my dad's study with its built-in, floor-to-ceiling shelves sagging with thick biographies and the black leather chair that kept me just uncomfortable enough to keep from feeling sleepy as I read.
John Green
Image
Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
Hikes in the debt ceiling - without any political demands from the opposition party - had been routine until President Obama took office.
Juan Williams
Image
I certainly came up in an era where women were really making strides and making a point to beat down doors and find their place and crash through the glass ceiling.
Gina Torres

Lying on the ceiling. Refusing to go to school. Not opening up to me. Climbing water towers. No, she's all right.
Kami Garcia

A bad guy in a movie has a lot of latitude for acting. He can walk up the wall, crawl across the ceiling, go piss in the corner and everybody will say, Fantastic! But somebody's going to have to catch that sucker. Somebody's going to have to play the guy who gets him in the end. And that's a better part.
Harrison Ford

I did once shatter a chandelier. I was singing with my college choir in Wales. I was the soloist and I hit the high note and there was this massive bang and all this glass came down from the ceiling. I'd like that to be my party trick if I can perfect it.
Katherine Jenkins
Image
Right after winning the Oscar, when everyone was going home, they let these little gold Oscary shapes flutter down from the ceiling. Leonardo DiCaprio came over, bowed down, and kissed my hand. It was the most fabulous moment - such a lovely gesture. He didn't say anything.
Helen Mirren
Image
When you don't have as much debt as we do, we don't have to worry about having this debt ceiling fight every single year. And I really think people are getting sick of having this news cycle every single year from Congress, from the Washington bubble.
Katie Pavlich
Image
Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it.
Hillary Clinton
Image
The small gargoyle had gone entirely white to match the ceiling, and only the rims of his ears, his long clawlike nails, and a thick stripe down his whip-like tail were still gray. He was crawling along the ceiling like a bat, wings held to make sharp angles and claws extended. It just about broke my creepy meter.
Kim Harrison

Of course we still want to know you! Harry said, staring at Hagrid. You don't think anything that Skeeter cow - sorry, Professor, he added quickly, looking at Dumbledore. I have gone temporarily deaf and haven't any idea what you said, Harry, said Dumbledore, twiddling his thumbs and staring at the ceiling.
J. K. Rowling
Image
I think that game is a testament to what happens when you put no ceiling to what you're capable of doing.
Kobe Bryant
Image
We lay on our backs looking at the ceiling and wondering what God had wrought when he made life so sad and disinclined.
Jack Kerouac
Image
...and once at Hana's house, when we stole some blackberry liqueur from her parents' liquor cabinet and drank until the ceiling started spinning overhead. Hana was laughing and giggling, but I didn't like it, didn't like the sweet sick taste in my mouth or the way my thoughts seemed to break apart like a mist in the sun.
Lauren Oliver

It's much easier, for example, to play a heroin addict and you're withdrawing - you tear the ceiling off - that's much easier than it is to come in and say, 'Hello.' Or, 'I love you'. When you judge it in that way, the heavy isn't as difficult.
James Stewart
Image
If a man has an apartment stacked to the ceiling with newspapers, we call him crazy. If a woman has a trailer house full of cats, we call her nuts. But when people pathologically hoard so much cash that they impoverish the entire nation, we put them on the cover of Fortune magazine and pretend that they are role models.
Lester B. Pearson
Image
Many women have been successful at breaking the glass ceiling only to find a layer of men.
Jane Harman
Image
I had risked everything, and I had nothing to show for it but my open hand, lying empty and palm up toward the ceiling.
Maggie Stiefvater
Image
Sometimes love not only lifts you to the ceiling, it also keeps your eyes there.
Janette Rallison
Image
I look up at the ceiling, tracing the foliage of the wreath. Today it makes me think of a hat, the large-brimmed hats women used to wear at some period during the old days: hats like enormous halos, festooned with fruit and flowers, and the feathers of exotic birds hats like an idea of paradise, floating just above the head, a thought solidified.
Margaret Atwood
Image
I have been very, very consistent. But at the same time I kept kind of hitting my head on the ceiling and I couldn't break through.
