A healthy human environment is one in which we try to make sense of our limits, of the accidents that can always befall us and the passage of time which inexorably changes us.
Rowan Williams
A lot of my works deal with a passage, which is about time. I don't see anything that I do as a static object in space. It has to exist as a journey in time.
Maya Lin
A Passage to India. It is my favourite movie.
Maurice Jarre
A poet must leave traces of his passage, not proof.
Rene Char
Actors do have good and bad sides. It's because the passage down the birth canal distorts the face. People born by caesarean section are more symmetrical.
Richard Griffiths
After clearing 9 metres of the descending passage, in about the middle of the afternoon, we came upon a second sealed doorway, which was almost the exact replica of the first.
Howard Carter
America is terrified of the passage of time. Prozac Nation. Land of Face Lifts.
Dirk Benedict
But 18 years after the passage of the Civil Liberties Act, there still remains unfinished work to completely rectify and close this regrettable chapter in our Nation's history.
Xavier Becerra
Cinema was my rite of passage.
John Singleton
Decisive action has been taken on the home front with passage of the USA Patriot Act, which has strengthened the hand of law enforcement agencies to stop terrorists before they can act.
Roger Wicker
Especially these days where everything is so polite and so proper, I think that rites of passage are good.
Emile Hirsch
Fertile soil, level plains, easy passage across the mountains, coal, iron, and other metals imbedded in the rocks, and a stimulating climate, all shower their blessings upon man.
Ellsworth Huntington
Feverishly we cleared away the remaining last scraps of rubbish on the floor of the passage before the doorway, until we had only the clean sealed doorway before us.
Howard Carter
Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage.
Danny Glover
Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?
Philip Gilbert Hamerton
Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?
Walt Whitman
House passage is good news for the Northwest corner and our environment.
Nancy L. Johnson
I always say that as a Christian I cannot find any passage in the Gospels in which Jesus condemned homosexuality.
Troy Perry
I cannot in good conscience vote for final passage of legislation that would pave the way to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.
Jim Ramstad
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Henry David Thoreau
