Nowhere Quotes - page 4

You see, she had absolutely nowhere else to go. (Vladimir Nabokov)

And now you live dispersed on ribbon roads, And no man knows or cares who is his neighbor Unless his neighbor makes too much disturbance, But all dash to and fro in motor cars, Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.

T. S. Eliot

You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go... well, anywhere at all.

Stephen King

You can be married and bored, or single and lonely. Ain't no happiness nowhere.

Chris Rock

I remember riding my bike down the boardwalk with nowhere to go and looking at the girls. It was really innocent.

Mark Ruffalo

I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks" on that Bridge to Nowhere.

Sarah Palin

It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning.

P. D. Ouspensky

If anyone thinks that Jews can steal into the land of their fathers, he is deceiving either himself or others. Nowhere is the coming of Jews so promptly noted as in the historic home of the Jews, for the very reason that it is the historic home.

Theodor Herzl

Nothing comes from nothing, Thieflet; no story comes from nowhere; new stories are born from old--it is the new combinations that make them new.

Salman Rushdie

Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable.

André Gide

What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself-and thus make yourself indispensable. (André Gide)

There is rest in this world nowhere except in Christ, the manifested love of God. Trust in excellence, and the better you become, the keener is the feeling of deficiency. Wrap up all in doubt, and there is a stern voice that will thunder at last out of the wilderness upon your dream.

Frederick William Robertson

I like living, breathing better than working... my art is that of living. Each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral, it's a sort of constant euphoria.

Marcel Duchamp

Being asked where in Greece he saw good men, he replied, "'Good men nowhere, but good boys at Sparta."

Diogenes of Sinope

Man goes nowhere, everything comes to man like tomorrow.

Antonio Porchia

Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare. Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace, And lay them prone upon the earth and cease To ponder on themselves, the while they stare At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.

Henry Kissinger

Whole great chunks of written history are of little value to the psychohistorian, while other vast areas which have been much neglected by historians - childhood history, content analysis of historical imagery, and so on - suddenly expand from the periphery to the center of the psychohistorian's conceptual world, simply because his or her own new questions require material nowhere to be found in history books.

Lloyd deMause

With Batman & Robin, the fourth entry in the recent Batman movie series, the profitable franchise appears poised to take a nosedive. This film, which places yet another actor in the batsuit, has all the necessary hallmarks of a sorry sequel - pointless, plodding plotting; asinine action; clueless, comatose characterization; and dumb dialogue. ... Batman & Robin moves at a dizzying pace, yet goes absolutely nowhere.

James Berardinelli

Live Free or Die Hard may work better for an audience that doesn't know much about the series is than it will for Die Hard die hards, who will be wondering who that impersonator is and what he did with the real John McClane. The original Die Hard came out of nowhere to blitz the 1988 summer box office. The fourth installment arrives with a weight of expectations that Atlas would have trouble shouldering and, when the dust settles in September, it's unlikely that Live Free or Die Hard will be one of this year's big success stories.

James Berardinelli

I have nowhere to go.
The swift satellites show
The clock of my whole being is slow. (R. S. Thomas)

The individual whose vision encompasses the whole world often feels nowhere so hedged in and out of touch with his surroundings as in his native land.

Emma Goldman

Children are nowhere taught, in any systematic way, to distinguish true from false, or meaningful from meaningless, statements. Why is this so? Because their elders, even in the democratic countries, do not want them to be given this kind of education.

Aldous Huxley

Nowhere probably is there more true feeling, and nowhere worse taste, than in a churchyard.

Benjamin Jowett

There were nowhere more docile disciples of Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin than the Nazis were.

Ludwig von Mises
