George Eliot
When we get to wishing a great deal for ourselves, whatever we get soon turns into mere limitation and exclusion.
George Eliot
Where ever I am I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else.
Angelina Jolie
We're kind of wishing some parents would come back. And of course we're uneasy about the fact that we wish they'd come back - I mean, what's wrong with us?
David Foster Wallace
Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
When Man evolved Pity, he did a queer thing - deprived himself of the power of living life as it is without wishing it to become something different.
John Galsworthy
