There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life; and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, sa...lute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
His usual note was this demoniac laughter, yet somewhat like that of a water-fowl; but occasionally, when he had balked me most su...ccessfully and come up a long way off, he uttered a long-drawn unearthly howl, probably more like that of a wolf than any bird; as when a beast puts his muzzle to the ground and deliberately howls.

I concluded that he laughed in derision of my efforts, confident of his own resources.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the col...ored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina.

But vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.--Only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
An older child, one who possesses a conscience, will be troubled with self-reproaches and feelings of shame for his naughtiness, e...ven if he is not discovered.

In doing this, they have taken the first steps toward the goal of conscience, but there is a long way ahead before the policeman outside becomes the policeman inside.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then i...mposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius--a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If you think you are emancipated, you might consider the idea of tasting your menstrual blood--if it makes you sick, you've a long... way to go, baby.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
