Centre Quotations
A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.
George Eliot
Opinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law. If it goes past the centre of gravity on one side, it must go a like distance on the other; and it is only after a certain time that it finds the true point at which it can remain at rest.
Arthur Schopenhauer
He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself his own dungeon.
John Milton
In the sense that you're not at the centre of power, like a president or prime minister of a major power, everyone is marginalised; my position doesn't isn't unique in that respect. I think there are different sorts of relevance in different contexts.
Peter Singer
We are now in the middle of the centre of the first half.
David Pleat
I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America, but the business and administrative centre of American culture.
Saul Bellow
Time, which runs through the world like an endless tinsel thread, seemed to pass through the centre of this room and through the centre of these people and suddenly to pause and petrify, stiff, still and glittering... and the objects in the room drew a little closer together.
Robert Musil
One is and is not in the centre of the maelstrom of it all.
Harold Pinter
Memory that yearns to join the centre, a limb remembering the body from which it has been severed, like those bamboo thighs of the god.
Derek Walcott
Time to open up a new chapter in life, and to explore a larger centre.
Lillian Russell
