Famous quotes containing the word thoughts:
“A novel is what you dream in your night sleep. A novel is
not waking thoughts although it is written and thought
with waking thoughts. But really a novel goes as
dreams go in sleeping at night and some dreams are like
anything and some dreams are like something and some
dreams change and some dreams are quiet and some dreams
are not. And some dreams are just what any one would
do only a little different always just a little
different and that is what a novel is.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“What fond and wayward thoughts will slide
Into a Lover’s head!
‘O mercy!’ to myself I cried,
‘If Lucy should be dead!’”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“My thoughts are children
With uneasy faces
That awake and rise
Beneath running skies
From buried places.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
