Arrow Quotes

A thought is an arrow shot at the truth; it can hit a point, but not cover the whole target. But the archer is too well satisfied with his success to ask anything farther. (Sri Aurobindo)
The shaft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle's own plumes. We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction. View quote

Jerome
What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from. View quote
Sylvia Plath
The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface: and why not? any love is natural and beautiful that lies within a person's nature; only hypocrites would hold a man responsible for what he loves, emotional illiterates and those of righteous envy, who, in their agitated concern, mistake so frequently the arrow pointing to heaven for the one that leads to hell.

If I were a young man With my bones full of marrow, Oh, if I were a bold young man Straight as an arrow, I'd store up no virtue For Heaven's distant plain, I'd live at ease as I did please And sin once again. View quote
Robert Graves
It was precisely this notion of infinite series which in the sixth century BC led the Greek philosopher Zeno to conclude that since an arrow shot towards a target first had to cover half the distance, and then half the remainder, and then half the remainder after that, and so on ad infinitum, the result was, as I will now demonstrate, that though an arrow is always approaching its target, it never quite gets there, and Saint Sebastian died of fright. (Tom Stoppard)
Trying to be Sherlock Holmes is like trying to catch an arrow in mid-flight. View quote
Jeremy Brett
The mystery of the arrow of time comes down to this: Why were the conditions in the early universe set up in a particular way, in a configuration of low entropy that enabled all of the interesting and irreversible processes to come? View quote
Sean M. Carroll
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through. View quote
Bob Dylan
Time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies. View quote
Bob Dylan
It is to be emphasized that no matter how many [amplitude] arrows we draw, add, or multiply, our objective is to calculate a single final arrow for the event. Mistakes are often made by physics students at first because they do not keep this important point in mind. They work for so long analyzing events involving a single photon that they begin to think that the arrow is somehow associated with the photon. View quote
Richard Feynman
Four things do not come back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity. View quote
Ted Chiang
A man without money is a bow without an arrow. View quote

True Love in this differs from gold and clay, That to divide is not to take away. Love is like understanding, that grows bright, Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light, Imagination! which from earth and sky, And from the depths of human phantasy, As from a thousand prisms and mirrors, fills The Universe with glorious beams, and kills Error, the worm, with many a sun-like arrow Of its reverberated lightning. View quote
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Dude! said a party pony as he unloaded his gear. Did you see that bear guy? He was all like: 'Whoa, I have an arrow in my mouth! View quote
Rick Riordan
You have to relax when you're shooting an arrow. You can't be tense. And that just helps, in your day-to-day life. (Stephen Amell)
Have you seen them?" he asked. Arrow looked at him disinterestedly. Will frowned. Not talking, eh?" he said. "Maybe you're a little hoarse." He cackled breifly at his own wit. View quote
John Flanagan
If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose, If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you, If you don't get drunk on my kiss, If you think you can do better than this then I guess we're done. Let's not drag this on, Consider me gone... View quote
Reba McEntire

Maureen O'Hara
I confess I didn't read the 'Green Arrow' comics before coming to play Shado. The comic books are not as easily accessible in Hong Kong as they are in the States. I do enjoy superhero fiction, though. View quote
