A celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity.
Jeremy Taylor
A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.
George Bernard Shaw
A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilization; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment.
Walter Bagehot
Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution.
Theophile Gautier
Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.
Walter Anderson
Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?
Chuck Palahniuk
Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope, a form of optimism. Really hokey I know, but it's true.
Lev Yilmaz
Every spring is the only spring, a perpetual astonishment.
Ellis Peters
Every year the State will be the dog that chases its own tail... engaging in a futile attempt to close a perpetual budget gap.
Richard J. Codey
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.
Benito Mussolini
Five enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.
Petrarch
I exist in a state of almost perpetual hysteria.
Sting
I put for the general inclination of all mankind, a perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death.
Thomas Hobbes
I think one of the privileges of being a filmmaker is the opportunity to remain a kind of perpetual student.
Edward Zwick
I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.
Brandi Chastain
I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.
William Shakespeare
If it were a real effort to live in the Middle Ages, your life would be one perpetual prevarication.
Goldwin Smith
If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds.
Alice Meynell
If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place.
Orison Swett Marden
