As a rule we develop a borrowed European idea forward, and ... Europe develops a borrowed American idea backwards.

Mark Twain

Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed-- borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.

Samuel Johnson

He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable.

Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.

Cormac McCarthy

Richard Avedon

Amongst so many borrowed things, am glad if I can steal one, disguising and altering it for some new service.

Michel de Montaigne

My life is on loan, like money borrowed from a bank. God is the lender, and He retains the right to call in the loan any time. Though I am responsible for taking care of it, I do not own this life; it is borrowed. Why should I fear its loss or the loss of anything else in this world when I must surrender it all anyway?
