Is love this misguided need to have you beside me most of the time? Is love this safety I feel in our silences? Is it this belonging, this completeness? (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)
Time that withers you will wither me. We will fall like ripe fruit and roll down the grass together. Dear friend, let me lie beside you watching the clouds until the earth covers us and we are gone. View quote
Jeanette Winterson
Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! View quote
Emma Lazarus

The kind of painting which I find exciting is not necessarily representational or non-representational, but it is musical and architectural... Whether this visual relationship is slightly more or slightly less abstract is, for me, beside the point. View quote
Ben Nicholson
Dwelling beside a body of water is tonic for the weary psyche. Sea smells, sea birds, seawrack, sands-alternately cool, warm, moist and dry-a taste of brine and the presence of the rocking, slopping bluegraygreen spit-flecked waters, has the effect of rinsing the emotions, bathing the outlook, bleaching the conscience.

Roger Zelazny
Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you. View quote
Walter Winchell
Man is the result of slow growth; that is why he occupies the position he does in animal life. What does a pup amount to that has gained its growth in a few days or weeks, beside a man who only attains it in as many years. View quote
Alexander Graham Bell
I have eaten your bread and salt. I have drunk your water and wine. The deaths ye died I have watched beside And the lives ye led were mine. (Rudyard Kipling)
Lovers lying two and two Ask not whom they sleep beside, And the bridegroom all night through Never turns him to the bride. View quote
A. E. Housman
I sit beside my lonely fire And pray for wisdom yet: For calmness to remember Or courage to forget. View quote
Charles Hamilton Aide
All the living hold together, and all yield to the same tremendous push. The animal takes its stand on the plant, man bestrides animality, and the whole of humanity, in space and in time, is one immense army galloping beside and before and behind each of us in an overwhelming charge able to beat down every resistance and clear the most formidable obstacles, perhaps even death. View quote
Henri Bergson
I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be; The waves that plunged along the shore Said only: "Dreamer, dream no more!" View quote
George William Curtis
The brain is wider than the sky For put them side by side The one the other will contain with ease And you beside. View quote
Emily Dickinson
Dear common flower, that grow'st beside the way, Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold, First pledge of blithesome May, Which children pluck, and, full of pride uphold. View quote
James Russell Lowell
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils. Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. View quote
William Wordsworth
The sweetest thing that ever grew Beside a human door. View quote
William Wordsworth
Body and soul: a horse harnessed beside an ox. View quote
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
When we play the fool, how wide The theatre expands! beside, How long the audience sits before us! How many prompters! what a chorus! View quote
Walter Savage Landor
Destiny itself is like a wonderful wide tapestry in which every thread is guided by an unspeakably tender hand, placed beside another thread and held and carried by a hundred others. View quote
Rainer Maria Rilke
The disciples were not losing time when they sat beside their Master, and held quiet converse with Him under the olives of Bethany or by the shores of Galilee. Those were their school-hours; those were their feeding times. View quote
Theodore L. Cuyler
The psychical condition of men's minds may be compared with a set of bells close together, and so arranged that in the ordinary man a bell rings only when one beside it sounds, and the vibration lasts only a moment. In the genius, when a bell sounds it vibrates so strongly that it sets in action the whole series, and remains in action throughout life. The latter kind of movement often gives rise to extraordinary conditions and absurd impulses, that may last for weeks together and that form the basis of the supposed kinship of genius with insanity.
