The sea rises the ordsprog

The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987)

Men never cling to their dreams with such tenacity as at the moment when they are losing faith in them, and know it, but do not dare yet to confess it to themselves.

William Graham Sumner

Then came human beings, they wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to. Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came the human beings, they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate - for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

The more I like a book, the more reluctant I am to turn the page. Lovers, even book lovers, tend to cling. No one-night stands or "reads" for them.

Anatole Broyard

I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase.

Stendhal (1783-1842)

Pex Tufvesson created the music program Noisetracker. There's so much truth about frustration and desperation. These two characters are so beaten down, but they find something to cling to. I think the brain has a way of clinging onto things that may not be rational, but they get you through the moment, and that's what the characters do so much of.

I would like to strengthen defensively. We are very light there but I am not going to hold my breath. We've had a bit of money to spend, there is a bit left but I don't think we are really close at the moment.

For months we have seen the government trying to cling to a pathetic pretense of a cease-fire. Surely Peter Hain can recognize that when live bullets are fired at the police and army, that constitutes a breach of even his definition of a cease-fire.

It is a painting that exposes in oils what Chekhov so often did in print: sunlight mocking a dark isolation of the moment. A moment fixed in a brave, failing light.

Alexandra Johnson

Our detectives are interviewing the parents of the two children we found, to see whether they can't throw any light on the subject ... At the moment we have no leads.

Faith is a light of such supreme brilliance that it dazzles the mind and darkens all its visions of other realities, but in the end when we become used to the new light, we gain a new view of all reality transfigured and elevated in the light itself.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968)

Thomas Merton

The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails -- aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter's reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

. . . cling to Faith beyond the forms of Faith.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)
