![Cling Quotes By Evelyn Hinz Cling Quotes By Evelyn Hinz](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-evelyn-hinz-141222.jpg)
In view of her present ease, Anais Nin knows that the description of what she was like as a child will be difficult to accept and so will occasion laughter [...] Nin also knows, however, how much we need to believe that such a triumph over handicaps is possible and how much our admiration for an accomplished person can be discouraging rather than encouraging to our own aspirations if we are not reminded of the struggles that preceded that success. Finally, she also knows that the tendency to cling to the idea that the person who exhibits remarkable qualities was invariably born with exceptional talents and advantages may be an inverted way of rationalizing one's own passivity and mediocrity. — Evelyn Hinz

At times, reality is love's great challenge. When our old stories and dreams are shattered, our first instinct may be to resist, deny, or cling to the way things were. But if we loosen our grip, often what fills the space is a tender forgiveness and the potential for a new and different kind of love. — Sharon Salzberg

![Cling Quotes By Stephen R. Lawhead Cling Quotes By Stephen R. Lawhead](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-stephen-r-lawhead-213391.jpg)
It is the poor man who clenches so tightly to the gold he is given - for fear of losing it. The man of wealth spends his gold freely to accomplish his will in the world. It is the same with life.'

I hope I am the kind of woman who embraces the daily work of letting God's kingdom come on earth with perseverance, faithfulness, and love. I hope we experience things together that prove love wins in eternity, evil loses every time.

![Cling Quotes By Robert Moss Cling Quotes By Robert Moss](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-robert-moss-201405.jpg)
The struggle inside the cocoon between the defenders of the worm state and the agents of winged possibility is one that I was still living, one that many of us surely experience in times of spiritual emergence. We may find ourselves pounded into mush, hanging upside down from whatever we can cling to - and yet have the possibility and destiny of becoming much, much more. — Robert Moss

![Cling Quotes By Curzio Malaparte Cling Quotes By Curzio Malaparte](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-curzio-malaparte-190183.jpg)
There is a profound difference between fighting to avoid death and fighting in order to live. Men who fight to avoid death preserve their dignity and one and all - men, women and children - defend it jealously, tenaciously, fiercely ... When men fight to avoid death they cling with a tenacity born of desperation to all that constitutes the living and eternal part of human life, the essence, the noblest and purest element of life: dignity, pride, freedom of conscience. They fight to save their souls. But after the liberation men had to fight in order to live ... It is a humiliating, horrible thing, a shameful necessity, a fight for life. Only for life. Only to save one's skin. — Curzio Malaparte
![Cling Quotes By Franz Kafka Cling Quotes By Franz Kafka](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-franz-kafka-233631.jpg)
People keep themselves at a tolerable height above an infernal abyss toward which they gravitate only by putting out all their strength and lovingly helping one another. They are tied together by ropes, and it's bad enough when the ropes around an individual loosen and he drops somewhat lower than the others into empty space; ghastly when the ropes break and he falls. That's why we should cling to the others. — Franz Kafka
![Cling Quotes By Rainer Maria Rilke Cling Quotes By Rainer Maria Rilke](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-rainer-maria-rilke-237499.jpg)
All the suffering and torment wrought at places of execution, in torture chambers, madhouses, operating theatres, under the arches of bridges in late autumn - all these are stubbornly imperishable, all these persist, are inaccessible but cling on, envious of everything that is, stuck in their own terrible reality. People would like to be allowed to forget much of it, their sleep gliding softly over these furrows in the brain, but dreams come and push sleep aside and fill the picture again. And so they wake up breathless, let the light of a candle dissolve the darkness as they drink the comforting half-light as if it was sugared water. But, alas, the edge on which this security is balancing is a narrow one. Given the slightest little turn and their gaze slips away from the familiar and the friendly, and the contours that had so recently been comforting take the sharp outlines of an abyss of horror. — Rainer Maria Rilke
![Cling Quotes By Mother Teresa Cling Quotes By Mother Teresa](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-mother-teresa-188778.jpg)
As each Sister is to become a Co-Worker of Christ in the slums, each ought to understand what God and the Missionaries of Charity expect from her. Let Christ radiate and live his life in her and through her in the slums. Let the poor, seeing her, be drawn to Christ and invite him to enter their homes and their lives. Let the sick and suffering find in her a real angel of comfort and consolation. Let the little ones of the streets cling to her because she reminds them of him, the friend of the little ones. — Mother Teresa
![Cling Quotes By Henry Miller Cling Quotes By Henry Miller](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-henry-miller-187769.jpg)
Bomb-proof vault. Our diseases are our attachments, be they habits, ideologies, ideals, principles, possessions, phobias, gods, cults, religions, what you please. Good wages can be a disease just as much as bad wages. Leisure can be just as great a disease as work. Whatever we cling to, even if it be hope or faith, can be the disease which carries us off. Surrender is absolute: if you cling to even the tiniest crumb you nourish the germ which will devour you. — Henry Miller
![Cling Quotes By Orison Swett Marden Cling Quotes By Orison Swett Marden](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-orison-swett-marden-186900.jpg)
Do not give up your dream because it is apparently not being realized, because you cannot see it coming true. Cling to your vision with all the tenacity you can muster. Keep it bright; do not let the bread-and-butter side of life cloud your ideal or dim it. — Orison Swett Marden
![Cling Quotes By W.G. Sebald Cling Quotes By W.G. Sebald](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-w-g-sebald-186260.jpg)
In my photographic work I was always especially entranced, said Austerlitz, by the moment when the shadows of reality, so to speak, emerge out of nothing on the exposed paper, as memories do in the middle of the night, darkening again if you try to cling to them, just like a photographic print left in the developing bath too long. — W.G. Sebald
![Cling Quotes By Jonathan Martin Cling Quotes By Jonathan Martin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-jonathan-martin-194019.jpg)
IT is only when we are no longer in control
because of sickness, death, or our own bad choices
that we no longer cling. The path to salvation is the path of humiliation. — Jonathan Martin
![Cling Quotes By Kiersten White Cling Quotes By Kiersten White](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-kiersten-white-237868.jpg)
I don't want to be like her, like Vivian. I don't want to hurt anyone. Am I going to hurt people?"
"No one can make you do that, child. You are caught between two worlds, much like my own Lend. You will want the fire, you will want to be filled. It is your nature. I hope you do not fall, but she is much stronger than you are."
She smiled at me, reaching out as though she would wipe away my tears. "Cling to what is good in your life. Be good to my son. — Kiersten White
![Cling Quotes By Thomas Babington Macaulay Cling Quotes By Thomas Babington Macaulay](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-thomas-babington-macaulay-180195.jpg)
Everywhere there is a class of men who cling with fondness to whatever is ancient, and who, even when convinced by overpowering reasons that innovation would be beneficial, consent to it with many misgivings and forebodings. We find also everywhere another class of men, sanguine in hope, bold in speculation, always pressing forward, quick to discern the imperfections of whatever exists, disposed to think lightly of the risks and inconveniences which attend improvements and disposed to give every change credit for being an improvement. — Thomas Babington Macaulay
![Cling Quotes By Jeremy Holmes Cling Quotes By Jeremy Holmes](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-jeremy-holmes-178258.jpg)
Try to prise a limpet away from its rock and it will cling all the harder. — Jeremy Holmes
![Cling Quotes By Alan W. Watts Cling Quotes By Alan W. Watts](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-alan-w-watts-178122.jpg)
In a relativistic universe you don't cling to anything, you learn to swim. And you know what swimming is - it's kind of a relaxed attitude with the water. In which you don't keep yourself afloat by holding the water, but by a certain giving to it. — Alan W. Watts
![Cling Quotes By Meister Eckhart Cling Quotes By Meister Eckhart](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-meister-eckhart-176671.jpg)
I mean those who cling to their own egos in their penances and external devotions, which such people regard as being of great importance. God have mercy on them, for they know little of the divine truth! Please people are called holy because of what they are seen to do, but inside they are asses, for they do not know the real meaning of divine truth . . . They are greatly esteemed by people who know no better . . . May they attain heaven because of their good intent, but that poverty, of which we now wish to speak, they know nothing. — Meister Eckhart
![Cling Quotes By Gustave Flaubert Cling Quotes By Gustave Flaubert](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-gustave-flaubert-172696.jpg)
My novel is the rock to which I cling and I know nothing of what is taking place in the world. — Gustave Flaubert
![Cling Quotes By Sharon Salzberg Cling Quotes By Sharon Salzberg](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-sharon-salzberg-239347.jpg)
The middle way is a view of life that avoids the extreme of misguided grasping born of believing there is something we can find, or buy, or cling to that will not change. And it avoids the despair and nihilism born from the mistaken belief that nothing matters, that all is meaningless. — Sharon Salzberg
![Cling Quotes By Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay Cling Quotes By Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-sarat-chandra-chattopadhyay-227618.jpg)
Why must I cling to the customs and practices of a particular country forever, just because I happened to be born there? What does it matter if its distinctiveness is lost? Need we be so attached to it? What's the harm if everyone on earth shares the same thoughts and feelings, if they stand under a single banner of laws and regulations? What if we can't be recognized as Indians any more? Where's the harm in that? No one can object if we declare ourselves to be citizens of the world. Is that any less glorious? — Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
![Cling Quotes By Jack Kornfield Cling Quotes By Jack Kornfield](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-jack-kornfield-222666.jpg)

It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed,you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God. — Paulo Coelho
![Cling Quotes By Penelope J. Stokes Cling Quotes By Penelope J. Stokes](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-penelope-j-stokes-219331.jpg)
Because our hearts are unprepared for truth, we cling to the deception as a shipwreck victim on a storm-tossed sea will grab at anything that floats. But the splintered rubble of our broken trust - those temporary buoys of our shattered dreams - betray us, gouging rough gashes into our souls, drawing our blood and leaving us to sink. — Penelope J. Stokes
![Cling Quotes By Lauren Oliver Cling Quotes By Lauren Oliver](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-lauren-oliver-218878.jpg)
Live free or die.
Four words. Thirteen letters. Ridges, bumps, swirls under my fingertips.
Another story. We cling tightly to it, and our belief turns it to truth. — Lauren Oliver
![Cling Quotes By Nick Tran Cling Quotes By Nick Tran](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-nick-tran-218134.jpg)
The human soul is a divine non-substance. A spirit that permeates our flesh, dwells in our conscious, and rules our subconscious self. It makes us cling to life even when we no longer want to embrace it. It makes us hope in the most desperate of circumstances. It gives our dream shape, our inspiration form, our love its timeless beauty. From The Cartesian Machine — Nick Tran
![Cling Quotes By John Denver Cling Quotes By John Denver](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-john-denver-217542.jpg)
Today While the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Here I forget all the joy that is mine. Today I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover You know who I am by the songs that I sing I'll feast at your table I'll sleep in your clover Who cares what tomorrow shall bring I can't be contented with yesterday's glory I can't live on promises winter to spring Today is my moment and now is my story I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing — John Denver
![Cling Quotes By Antoine De Saint-Exupery Cling Quotes By Antoine De Saint-Exupery](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-antoine-de-saint-exupery-214233.jpg)
When I opened my eyes I saw nothing but the pool of nocturnal sky, for I was lying on my back with out-stretched arms, face to face with that hatchery of stars. Only half awake, still unaware that those depths were sky, having no roof between those depths and me, no branches to screen them, no root to cling to, I was seized with vertigo and felt myself as if flung forth and plunging downward like a diver. — Antoine De Saint-Exupery
![Cling Quotes By James Stalker Cling Quotes By James Stalker](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-james-stalker-212931.jpg)
Where two or three are met together, the prayer of one strikes fire from the soul of another; and the latter in his turn leads the way to nobler heights of devotion. And lo! as their joy increases, there is One in their midst whom they all recognize and cling to. He was there before, but it is only when their hearts begin to burn that they recognize Him; and in a true sense they may be said to bring Him there. — James Stalker
![Cling Quotes By Elton John Cling Quotes By Elton John](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-elton-john-212059.jpg)

We stubbornly cling to past interpretations and old stories even when God's universal story is much better. The reason is not that we lack education and knowledge, but that we overflow with pride. — Nancy B. Winters
![Cling Quotes By Shane Claiborne Cling Quotes By Shane Claiborne](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-shane-claiborne-229864.jpg)
We can also cling to the treasures of our faith and get rid of the things that are cluttering that. It is a time we are seeing some trending away from the things that were cluttering our faith. — Shane Claiborne
![Cling Quotes By Rabindranath Tagore Cling Quotes By Rabindranath Tagore](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-rabindranath-tagore-207605.jpg)
If you would be busy and fill your pitcher, come, O come to my lake.
The water will cling round your feet and babble its secret. The shadow of the coming rain is on the sands, and the clouds hang low upon the blue lines of the trees like the heavy hair above your eyebrows.
I know well the rhythm of your steps, they are beating in my heart.
Come, O come to my lake, if you must fill your pitcher. — Rabindranath Tagore
![Cling Quotes By Maya Angelou Cling Quotes By Maya Angelou](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-maya-angelou-202059.jpg)
I am forced
outside myself to
mount the light and ride joined with Hope.
Through all the bright hours
I cling to expectation, until
darkness comes to reclaim me
as its own. Hope fades, day is gone
into its irredeemable place
and I am thrown back into the familiar
bonds of disconsolation.
Gloom crawls around
lapping lasciviously
between my toes, at my ankles,
and it sucks the strands of my
hair. It forgives my heady
fling with Hope. I am
joined again into its
greedy arms.
from A Plagued Journey — Maya Angelou
![Cling Quotes By Rabindranath Tagore Cling Quotes By Rabindranath Tagore](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-rabindranath-tagore-197224.jpg)
O poor, unthinking human heart! Error will not go away, logic and reason are slow to penetrate.We cling with both arms to false hope, refusing to believe in the weightiest proofs against it, embracing it with all our strength. In the end it escapes, ripping our veins and draining our heart's blood; until, regaining consciousness, we rush to fall into snares of delusion all over again — Rabindranath Tagore
![Cling Quotes By Maria Duenas Cling Quotes By Maria Duenas](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-maria-duenas-232158.jpg)

![Cling Quotes By Johannes Brahms Cling Quotes By Johannes Brahms](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-johannes-brahms-194372.jpg)
We cling nervously to the melody, but we don't handle it freely, we don't really make anything new out of it, we merely overload it. — Johannes Brahms
![Cling Quotes By Lionel Fisher Cling Quotes By Lionel Fisher](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-lionel-fisher-223028.jpg)
I used to feel sorry for them, those people who cling to people. I always thought they brought more needs than gifts. I felt that if they didn't want to be by themselves, with themselves, I surely didn't want to be with them either. — Lionel Fisher

![Cling Quotes By Graham Swift Cling Quotes By Graham Swift](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-graham-swift-106093.jpg)
Life goes on. It doesn't go on. Yes, yes, I know, all we want in the end, we living, breathing creatures (am I still one of them?) is life. All we want to believe in is the persistence and vitality of life. Faced with the choice between death and the merest hint of life, what scrap, what token wouldn't we cling to in order to keep that belief? A leaf? A single moist, green leaf? That will do, that will be enough. — Graham Swift
![Cling Quotes By Maureen F. McHugh Cling Quotes By Maureen F. McHugh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-maureen-f-mchugh-116666.jpg)

![Cling Quotes By Charles Bukowski Cling Quotes By Charles Bukowski](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-charles-bukowski-114758.jpg)
My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it's much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours — Charles Bukowski

Sulien held up the broken spear, one piece in each hand. "A warhammer did this?"
"You saw that hammer the Lightning almost hit Addolgar with. And that's not even the one he uses during battles. That one is bloody huge. Nearly as
big as the bastard's head."
Her father chuckled and stepped around her. "The only purpose of this spear was to protect you - and it did. Its job is now done." He started to
throw the pieces into a bin he kept for trash.
"Don't you dare throw that out."
"Why not? It's broken, and repairing it would be useless. It'l only break again."
"But you made it for me."
"You cling to what is meaningless, child. Just like your mother sometimes, only with her it's mostly grudges. — G.A. Aiken

We don't even know what living means now, what it is, and what it is called? Leave us alone without books and we shall be lost and in confusion at once. We shall not know what to join on to, what to cling to, what to love and what to hate, what to respect and what to despise.
We are oppressed at being men - men with a real individual body and blood, we are ashamed of it, we think it a disgrace and try to contrive to be some sort of impossible generalised man. — Fyodor Dostoyevsky
![Cling Quotes By Henri J.M. Nouwen Cling Quotes By Henri J.M. Nouwen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-henri-j-m-nouwen-119499.jpg)
Addiction" might be the best word to explain the lostness that so deeply permeates society. Our addiction make us cling to what the world proclaims as the keys to self-fulfillment: accumulation of wealth and power; attainment of status and admiration; lavish consumption of food and drink, and sexual gratification without distinguishing between lust and love. These addictions create expectations that cannot but fail to satisfy our deepest needs. As long as we live within the world's delusions, our addictions condemn us to futile quests in "the distant country," leaving us to face an endless series of disillusionments while our sense of self remains unfulfilled. In these days of increasing addictions, we have wandered far away from our Father's home. The addicted life can aptly be designated a life lived in "a distant country." It is from there that our cry for deliverance rises up. — Henri J.M. Nouwen
![Cling Quotes By Erich Maria Remarque Cling Quotes By Erich Maria Remarque](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-erich-maria-remarque-104435.jpg)
The room shall speak, it must catch me up and hold me, I want to feel that I belong here, I want to hearken and know when I go back to the front line that the war will sink down, be drowned utterly in the great home-coming tide, know that it will then be past for ever, and not gnaw us continually, that it will have none but an outward power over us ... Nothing stirs; listless and wretched, like a condemned man, I sit there and the past withdraws itself. And at the same time I fear to importune it too much, because I do not know what might happen then. I am a soldier, I must cling to that. — Erich Maria Remarque
![Cling Quotes By Jerry Bridges Cling Quotes By Jerry Bridges](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-jerry-bridges-101762.jpg)
Trust is not a passive state of mind. It is a vigorous act of the soul by which we choose to lay hold on the promises of God and cling to them despite the adversity that at times seeks to overwhelms us. — Jerry Bridges
![Cling Quotes By Alfred Bunn Cling Quotes By Alfred Bunn](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-alfred-bunn-100443.jpg)
The heart bow'd down by weight of woe, To weakest hope will cling, To thought and impulse while they flow, That can no comfort bring, That can, that can no comfort bring, With those exciting scenes will blend, O'er pleasure's pathway thrown; But mem'ry is the only friend That grief can call its own. — Alfred Bunn

Because desperate people cling to hope like sailors to their wreaks. — Kate Morton

When the mind is left without anything to cling to, it becomes still. — Ramana Maharshi

Slaves, slaves to anything or anyone, despite how much they abhor it, will often cling to that slavery out of fear the alternative would be insufferable. — Terry Goodkind

Each position, each metre of the Soviet territory must be stubbornly defended, to the last drop of blood. We must cling to every inch of Soviet soil and defend it to the end! — Joseph Stalin
![Cling Quotes By Sam Shepard Cling Quotes By Sam Shepard](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-sam-shepard-84352.jpg)
I feel like the writers that I'm drawn to, the writers that I really cling to, are the writers who seem to be writing out of a desperate act. It's like their writing is part of a survival kit. Those are the writers that I just absolutely cherish and carry with me everywhere I go. — Sam Shepard

We never know how strongly we cling to objects until they are taken away, and he who thinks htat he is attached to nothing, is frequently grandly mistaken, being bound to a thousand things, unknown to himself. — Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon

What would Grandfather think of this jump I'm taking? Would this be one time he would tell me to hang on to the edge with all my might? Would he say to cling to the side of the board until my fingers became bloody and scraped? Or would he say that it was all right to let go? — Ally Condie
![Cling Quotes By George R R Martin Cling Quotes By George R R Martin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-george-r-r-martin-144317.jpg)
Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: The realm. Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over, until we forget that it's a lie.
Lord Varys: But what do we have left, once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.
Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is. — George R R Martin
![Cling Quotes By Brigham Young Cling Quotes By Brigham Young](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-brigham-young-171590.jpg)
The man or woman who enjoys the spirit of our religion has no trials; but the man or woman who tries to live according to the gospel of the Son of God, and at the same times clings to the spirit of the world, has trials and sorrows acute and keen, and that too, continually. This is the deciding point, the dividing line. They who love and serve God with all their hearts rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks; but they who try to serve God and still cling to the spirit of the world have got on two yokes
the yoke of Jesus and the yoke of the devil, and they will have plenty to do. They will have a warfare inside and outside, and the labor will be very galling, for they are directly in opposition one to the other. — Brigham Young

People need to cling to something," Oshima says. "They have to. You're doing the same, even though you don't realise it. — Haruki Murakami

Besides, it doesn't matter if it's real. It never does with dreams. They aren't anything anyway but lifesavers to cling to so you don't drown. Life is an ocean, and most everyone's hanging on to some kind of dream to keep afloat. — Tim Tharp
![Cling Quotes By Anais Nin Cling Quotes By Anais Nin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-anais-nin-165246.jpg)
I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don't mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding. — Anais Nin
![Cling Quotes By James Salter Cling Quotes By James Salter](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-james-salter-161057.jpg)
Every object, even those which had been hers, which he never touched, seemed to share his loss. He was suddenly parted from his life. That presence, loving or not, which fills the emptiness of rooms, mildens them, makes them light - that presence was gone. The simple greed that makes one cling to a woman left him suddenly desperate, stunned. A fatal space had opened, like that between a liner and the dock which is suddenly too wide to leap; everything is still present, visible, but it cannot be regained. — James Salter
![Cling Quotes By Robin Hobb Cling Quotes By Robin Hobb](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-robin-hobb-158504.jpg)
When the mainstay of one's world is taken away, it's only natural to cling to all the rest, to try desperately to keep things as close to the way they were as one can." He shook his head sorrowfully. "But no one can ever go back to yesterday. — Robin Hobb

The heat of the incinerator wrapped around Inej like a living thing, a desert dragon in his den, hiding from the ice, waiting for her. She knew her body's limits, and she knew she had no more to give. She'd made a bad wager. It was as simple as that. The autumn leaf might cling to its branch, but it was already dead. The only question was when it would fall. — Leigh Bardugo
![Cling Quotes By Pema Chodron Cling Quotes By Pema Chodron](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-pema-chodron-156358.jpg)
WE ALREADY HAVE everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves - the heavy-duty fearing that we're bad and hoping that we're good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds - never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake. — Pema Chodron
![Cling Quotes By Steven Erikson Cling Quotes By Steven Erikson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-steven-erikson-155653.jpg)
[T]he unnamed soldier is a gift. The named soldier
dead, melted wax
demands a response among the living ... a response no-one can make. Names are no comfort, they're a call to answer the unanswerable. Why did she die, not him? Why do the survivors remain anonymous
as if cursed
while the dead are revered? Why do we cling to what we lose while we ignore what we still hold?
Name none of the fallen, for they stood in our place, and stand there still in each moment of our lives. Let my death hold no glory, and let me die forgotten and unknown. Let it not be said that I was one among the dead to accuse the living. — Steven Erikson

Dust as we are, the immortal spirit grows Like harmony in music; there is a dark Inscrutable workmanship that reconciles Discordant elements, makes them cling together In one society. — William Wordsworth
![Cling Quotes By Charlotte Bronte Cling Quotes By Charlotte Bronte](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-charlotte-bronte-172235.jpg)
I hold another creed, which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention, but in which I delight, and to which I cling, for it extends hope to all; it makes eternity a rest - a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last; with this creed, revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low. I live in calm, looking to the end. — Charlotte Bronte
![Cling Quotes By David A. Livermore Cling Quotes By David A. Livermore](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-david-a-livermore-143154.jpg)
One of the greatest ironies of the history of Christianity is that its leaders constantly gave in to the temptation of power - political power, military power, economic power, or moral and spiritual power - even though they continued to speak in the name of Jesus, who did not cling to his divine power but emptied himself and became as we are. — David A. Livermore
![Cling Quotes By Paramahansa Yogananda Cling Quotes By Paramahansa Yogananda](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-paramahansa-yogananda-138844.jpg)
Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny. — Paramahansa Yogananda
![Cling Quotes By Osho Cling Quotes By Osho](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-osho-138342.jpg)
Never treat any person as a means. Treat everybody as an end in himself, in herself - then you don't cling, then you are not attached. You love, but your love gives freedom - and, when you give freedom to the other, you are free. Only in freedom does your soul grow. You will feel very, very happy. — Osho

I walk back and forth past the bird one hundred and twenty-two times. I think of you and me, us, this elegant architecture called bird. Belly-up, beak to the north, wings splayed to the poles he disintegrates daily. In two days, his eyes are sockets, in four days, his under-feathers scatter to the east. The gentle wind detonates a downy bomb on still, green grass only a few stray flight-feathers cling to the skeleton — Micheline Maylor
![Cling Quotes By Chevy Stevens Cling Quotes By Chevy Stevens](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-chevy-stevens-135685.jpg)
I'm in a weird-ass mood today, Doc. Wired up, mind all over the place, looking for answers, reasons something solid to cling to, something real, but just when I think I've got it figured out and neatly filed under fixed instead of fucked, turns out I'm still shattered, scattered, and battered. But you probably already knew that, didn't you? ... You might not be able to help me. That makes me sad, but not for me. It makes me sad for you. It must be frustrating for a shrink to have a patient who's beyond fixing. That first shrink I saw when I got back to Clayton Falls told me no one is a lost cause, but I think that's bullshit. I think people can be so crushed, so broken, that they'll never be anything more than a fragment of a whole person. (129) — Chevy Stevens
![Cling Quotes By Herman Melville Cling Quotes By Herman Melville](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-herman-melville-131590.jpg)
I somehow cling to the strange fancy, that, in all men hiddenly reside certain wondrous, occult properties - as in some plants and minerals - which by some happy but very rare accident (as bronze was discovered by the melting of the iron and brass at the burning of Corinth) may change to be called forth here on earth. — Herman Melville
![Cling Quotes By Maureen Johnson Cling Quotes By Maureen Johnson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-maureen-johnson-128311.jpg)
I try to shake it loose-but these ideas, they cling. It's like I'm shackled to them with an iron chain. They rattle along behind me, dragging against the ground, always reminding me of their presence. — Maureen Johnson
![Cling Quotes By Michael Horton Cling Quotes By Michael Horton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/cling-quote-by-michael-horton-127276.jpg)
A church that is deeply aware of it's misery and nakedness before a holy God will cling tenaciously to an all sufficient Savior, while one that is self-confident and relatively unaware of its inherent sinfulness will reach for religion and morality whenever it seems convenient — Michael Horton
