A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Benjamin Disraeli
A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it's far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality.
Wes Bentley
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
Lord Byron
Enthusiasm is that secret and harmonious spirit which hovers over the production of genius.
Isaac Disraeli
In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.
W. Somerset Maugham
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
Henry Ward Beecher
My own nature hovers between neurotic and paranoid. I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day.
Martha Beck
The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike.
Ralph Ellison
The modern computer hovers between the obsolescent and the nonexistent.
Sydney Brenner
