Let me see, what am I to buy for our sheep-shearing feast? Three pound of sugar, five pound of currants, rice--what will this sist...er of mine do with rice? But my father hath made her mistress of the feast, and she lays it on.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on mortals, while they slumber on their beds, then he opens their ears..., and terrifies them with warnings, that he may turn them aside from their deeds, and keep them from pride, to spare their souls from the Pit, their lives from traversing the River.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I shall come out like gold. My foot has held fast to his steps; I have ke...pt his way and have not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If you turn aside from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes...then...Israel will be...come a proverb and a taunt among all peoples.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There are many persons ready to do what is right because in their hearts they know it is right. But they hesitate, waiting for the... other fellow to make the first move--and he, in turn, waits for you. The minute a person whose word means a great deal dares to take the open- hearted and courageous way, many others follow. Not everyone can be turned aside from meanness and hatred, but the great majority of Americans is heading in that direction. I have a great belief in the future of my people and my country.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the ...world, no species of composition has been so much decried.... "And what are you reading, Miss--?" "Oh! it is only a novel!" replies the young lady; while she lays down her book with affected indifference, or momentary shame. "It is only Cecilia, or Camilla, or Belinda"; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best chosen language.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which not...hing can dismay nor turn aside.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exa...ct than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When we experience a film, we consciously prime ourselves for illusion. Putting aside will and intellect, we make way for it in ou...r imagination. The sequence of pictures plays directly on our feelings. Music works in the same fashion; I would say that there is no art form that has so much in common with film as music. Both affect our emotions directly, not via the intellect. And film is mainly rhythm; it is inhalation and exhalation in continuous sequence. Ever since childhood, music has been my great source of recreation and stimulation, and I often experience a film or play musically.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
