Margaret Halsey

Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again; the parted hills are left scarred; if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair. View quote
George Eliot
Send home my long strayed eyes to me, Which (Oh) too long have dwelt on thee. View quote
John Donne
Thou'rt slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell; And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke. View quote
John Donne
I believe in God who made of one blood all races that dwell on earth.

W. E. B. Du Bois
If I could dwell Where Israfel Hath dwelt, and he where I, He might not sing so wildly well A mortal melody, While a bolder note than this might swell From my lyre within the sky. View quote
Edgar Allan Poe
On a late-winter evening in 1983, while driving through fog along the Maine coast, recollections of old campfires began to drift into the March mist, and I thought of the Abnaki Indians of the Algonquin tribe who dwelt near Bangor a thousand years ago. (Norman Mailer)
If thou rememberest that God standeth by to behold and visit all that thou doest; whether in the body or in the soul, thou surely wilt not err in any prayer or deed; and thou shalt have God to dwell with thee. View quote
Epictetus
In spite of every sage whom Greece can show, Unerring wisdom never dwelt below; Folly in all of every age we see, The only difference lies in the degree. View quote

Robert Graves
Ah, fortune and fame shall follow me ... and I shall dwell in the world of the chosen for a few moments of fleeting ecstasy; ere the seven burly lads turn into creditors and hustle me off to debtors' prison at last. View quote
Hunter S. Thompson
Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. It is a seeking that he who wishes may know the cosmic secrets of the world and they that dwell therein. View quote
Zora Neale Hurston
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions. View quote
Francis de Sales
I don't dwell in the past; I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened. View quote
Yanni

François Fénelon
Anxiety, the illness of our time, comes primarily from our inability to dwell in the present moment. View quote

How can you expect to dwell with God forever, if you so neglect and forsake him here? View quote
Jonathan Edwards (theologian)
Man-like is it to fall into sin, Fiend-like is it to dwell therein; Christ-like is it for sin to grieve, God-like is it all sin to leave. View quote
Friedrich von Logau
One family--we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. View quote
Charles Wesley
Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime you should dwell. View quote
