Missed Ones Quotes

“Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give a damn, I cannot, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total dark sublime, Though this might take me a little time.”

“Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?”

“Well, the movie isn't bad. For a while, I even told myself I liked it, even as it missed one mark after another. But in the end, it's shapeless and blandly apolitical, apart from its watered-down feminism. You see, Fey's Kim Baker - changed from Barker - transforms herself from a neophyte reporter, condescended to by male war correspondents, soldiers and Afghan officials, into a hard-charging political animal who speaks the language fluently and parties as hard as men. That's about as edgy as a sitcom.”

“Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.”

“I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.”

“What is the opposite of two? A lonely me, a lonely you.”

“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.”

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”

“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.”

“Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; and every little absence is an age.”

“Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.”

“Gone - flitted away, Taken the stars from the night and the sun From the day! Gone, and a cloud in my heart.”

“If people ever look down upon you for crying for fictional characters, you should give them a gentle, pitying look and feel bad for them. If they've never cried for a fictional character, then they've never loved one (and what a joy that is). If they've never cried at a book, a movie, a piece of music, then they've missed one of the great pleasures life has to offer. Just because fiction does not contain things that are real doesn't mean it doesn't contain truth, and we find it through the alchemy of our tears.”

“Any musical person who has never heard a Negro congregation under the spell of religious fervor sing these old songs has missed one of the most thrilling emotions which the human heart may experience.”

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

“There is only one thing about which I shall have no regrets when my life ends. I have savored to the full all the small, daily joys. The bright sunshine on the breakfast table; the smell of the air at dusk; the sound of the clock ticking; the light rains that start gently after midnight; the hour when the family come home; Sunday-evening tea before the fire! I have never missed one moment of beauty, not even taken it for granted. Spring, summer, autumn, or winter. I wish I had failed as little in other ways.”
