“Tall windows show Infinity; And, hard reality, The candles weep and pry and dance Like lives mocked at by Chance. The rooms are vast as Sleep within; When once I ventured in, Chill Silence, like a surging sea, Slowly enveloped me.” HardShowsRealityChanceSleepRoomsSilenceSeaWindowTallInfinityCandleChill Book:Edith Sitwell: fire of the mind : an anthology Source: Edith Sitwell: fire of the mind : an anthology
“Many people don't wake up. They fight against a difficult time, shut the window and become more bitter. Fortunately or unfortunately, however you see it, we are served up those opportunities over and over in our life. So if you've shut the window, don't worry, another hard time is going to come around the corner - to give you that chance all over again.” PeopleIfsGivingHardFightingOpportunityDifficultChanceWorryOur LivesWindowWake UpCornersBitterHard TimesDifficult TimesAround The Corner Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“To be sure, not all moments are equally fleeting. Some moments last longer than others. And certain events do reoccur more than once and even recur repeatedly. Sometimes you do get more than one chance. Sometimes you don't. It helps to know how long a window of opportunity you have and if you'll get another chance.” IfsKnowsLongSometimesMomentsHelpingLastsCertainOpportunityChanceKnow HowEventsWindowFleetingAnother ChanceOne ChanceWindow Of Opportunity Author:John Paul Caponigro
“I remember I would not stand still; I would not stop being perplexed by everything that spontaneously attracted me or caught my attention. I would never cease to look around me and observe myself in relation to nature: either crystal clear skies and sun-melting afternoons, or foggy winter days and weirdly tinted nights. I would never cease to dream and stand by the window, ready to let the diversity of life pass freely through my skin; courageous enough to believe I stood a chance in devouring each shade of sensation. Or perhaps, immensely foolish to plainly - believe at all.” BelieveLooksStillsEnoughDreamRememberNightChanceAttentionSunClearSkyReadyDiversityWindowSkinsRelationWinterCaughtFoolishCeaseCourageousSensationsShadeAfternoonCrystalsMeltingDevouringPerplexedWinter DaysDiversity Of LifeClear Skies Author:Virginia Woolf
“When it was first optioned, I was told that the chances of The Basic Eight becoming a film were slim because no one was making teen movies, and then later, I was told that the chances were slim because there were so many teen movies, and then I was later told that the chances were slim because teen films were over. I'm not sure when the magic window of opportunity was, but perhaps it's still on the horizon.” FirstsStillsFilmOpportunityChanceMagicBecomingWindowEightNot SureHorizonSlimWindow Of Opportunity Author:Daniel Handler
