Sex is not some sort of pristine, reverent ritual. You want reverent and pristine, go to church.

Cynthia Heimel

sad things are beautiful only from a distance therefore you just want to get away from them from a distance of one hundred and thirty years ....i'm going to distance myself until the world is beautiful

Tao Lin

From a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight. From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's the voice of every man

Bette Midler

There is really no fiction or non-fiction; there is only narrative. One mode of perception has no greater claim on the truth than the other; that the distance has perhaps to do with distance - narrative distance - from the characters; it has to do with the kind of voice that is talking, but it certainly hasn't to do with the common distribution between fact and imagination.

E. L. Doctorow

Because no other could do it, he himself went to the greatest possible distance, the infinite distance. This infinite distance between God and God, this supreme tearing apart, this incomparable agony, this marvel of love, is the crucifixion. Nothing can be further from God than that which has been made accursed.

Simone Weil

In her previous novels, Maggie O'Farrell has often measured the distance between intimates and the unexpected intimacy of distance - geographic, temporal, cultural. In 'The Hand That First Held Mine' and 'The Distance Between Us,' characters separated by many miles or many years turn out to be joined in ways they never anticipated.

Stacey D'Erasmo

In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.

Unknown

Physical distance between people has nothing to do with loneliness. It's psychic distance.

Robert M. Pirsig

Distance was a dangerous thing, she knew. Distance changed people.

Rohinton Mistry

Could distance in one direction differ from distance in another? It's always faster coming home.

Michael Flynn

True art is reverent imitation of God.

Tryon Edwards

An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.

John Ruskin

Because everyone is the same distance from the sun. Does it really lessen the distance if you live on top of a skyscraper?

Anthony de Mello

I was in a long-distance relationship. There's a lot of heartache in distance, and in proximity - those ideas you have when you're next to someone who you haven't seen in a month.
