Famous quotes containing the words side and/or trails:
“If the heart beguiles itself in its choice [of a wife], and imagination will give excellencies which are not the portion of flesh and blood:Mwhen the dream is over, and we awake in the morning, it matters little whether tis Rachael or Leah,be the object what it will, as it must be on the earthly side ... of perfection,it will fall short of the work of fancy, whose existence is in the clouds.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply wont be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
