Uneasy

Famous quotes containing the word uneasy:

    My thoughts are children
    With uneasy faces
    That awake and rise
    Beneath running skies
    From buried places.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Solomon’s Proverbs, I think, have omitted to say, that as the sore palate findeth grit, so an uneasy consciousness heareth innuendos.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    ... it is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self—never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardour of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dim-sighted.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
