Its like threading a needle while walking on a water bed.

Phil Donahue

I cannot pull off a mustache. It's like threading a needle, because most of the time, I'll look like a complete idiot.

Will Forte

All things in this creation exist within you and all things in you exist in creation; there is no border between you and the closest things, and there is no distance between you and the farthest things, and all things, from the lowest to the loftiest, from the smallest to the greatest, are within you as equal things.

Khalil Gibran

I heard someone say that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. I decided to sculpt camels in a needle.

Willard Wigan

I would say any behavior that is not the status quo is interpreted as insanity, when, in fact, it might actually be enlightenment. Insanity is sorta in the eye of the beholder.

Chuck Palahniuk

Take a portion of wit, And fashion it fit, Like a needle, with point and with eye: A point that can wound, An eye to look round, And at folly or vice let it fly

Jacques Barzun

The idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterly damnable to me - the raving of insanity, superstition gone to seed! I want no part of such a God.

Luther Burbank

When I was growing up, all the women in my house were using needles. I've always had a fascination with the needle, the magic power of the needle. The needle is used to repair damage. It's a claim to forgiveness. It is never aggressive, it's not a pin.

Louise Bourgeois

(Howard) Dean is a raving nut bag...a raving, sinister, demagogic nutbag...I and a few other people saw that he should be destroyed.

Christopher Hitchens

No rich man can walk through the eye of a needle.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

All the stream that's roaring by Came out of a needle's eye.

William Butler Yeats

Love is so small it can tear itself through the eye of a needle

Michael Ondaatje

Apocalypse is the eye of a needle, through which we pass into a different world.

George Zebrowski

Petty vexations may at times be petty, but still they are vexations. The smallest and most inconsiderable annoyances are the most piercing. As small letters weary the eye most, so the smallest affairs disturb us most.
