Top Cyclopean Quotes

Cyclopean Quotes By Stephen King

At moments like this he suspected that Hitler had been nothing but a harried bureaucrat and Satan himself a mental defective with a rudimentary sense of humor - the kind that finds feeding firecrackers wrapped in bread to seagulls unutterably funny. — Stephen King

Cyclopean Quotes By Andre Malraux

Even the West has known the architecture of empty space, whose object, for thousands of years, has been less to construct divine houses, than to create sacred places, to seize upon mystery and to immerse man in it-whether by raising the cyclopean pedestal that surrounds him with stars, or by hollowing out the sanctuary that wraps him in haunted night. — Andre Malraux

Cyclopean Quotes By John Gunther

New York city, the incomparable, the brilliant star city of cities, the forty-ninth state, a law unto itself, the Cyclopean Paradox, the inferno with no-out-of bounds, the supreme expression of both the miseries and the splendors of contemporary civilization, the Macedonia of the United States. It meets the most severe test that may be applied to definition of a metropolis - it stays up all night. But also it becomes a small town when it rains. — John Gunther

Cyclopean Quotes By Garth Crooks

Football's football, if that weren't the case it wouldn't be the game that it is — Garth Crooks

Cyclopean Quotes By Manly P. Hall

The pineal gland is a link between the consciousness of man and the invisible worlds of Nature. Whenever the arc of the pituitary body contacts this gland there are flashes of temporary clairvoyance, but the process of making these two work together consistently is one requiring not only years bur lives of consecration and special physiological and biological training. This third eye is the Cyclopean eye of the ancients, for it was an organ of conscious vision long before the physical eyes were formed, although vision was a sense of cognition rather than sight in those ancient days. — Manly P. Hall

Cyclopean Quotes By Lao-Tzu

Who acts in stillness finds stillness in his life. — Lao-Tzu

Cyclopean Quotes By Adrian Van Young

She scanned Clemens from head to toe and did not seem hugely impressed, but a rushing back behind her eyes revealed she had a complex opinion. — Adrian Van Young

Cyclopean Quotes By Pythagoras

If men with fleshly mortals must be fed, and chew with bleeding teeth the breathing bread; what else is this but to devour our guests, and barbarously renew Cyclopean feasts? While Earth not only can your needs supply, but, lavish of her store, provides for luxury; a guiltless feast administers with ease, and without blood is prodigal to please. — Pythagoras

Cyclopean Quotes By Mikel Dufrenne

For the spectator does not see space, he sees the objects and events; he does not perceive the coordinates with the same cyclopean eye of the camera. With his entire body, desires, and fantasies, he perceives the existential dimensions by which the world is organized. — Mikel Dufrenne

Cyclopean Quotes By Raul Julia

I knew there was something special about the theater for me something beyond the regular reality, something that I could get into and transcend and become something other than myself. — Raul Julia

Cyclopean Quotes By Donald Trump

One of the keys to thinking big is total focus. I think of it almost as a controlled neurosis, which is a quality I've noticed in many highly successful entrepreneurs. — Donald Trump

Cyclopean Quotes By H.P. Lovecraft

He talked of his dreams in a strangely poetic fashion; making me see with terrible vividness the damp Cyclopean city of slimy green stone - whose geometry, he oddly said, was all wrong - and hear with frightened expectancy the ceaseless, half-mental calling from underground: "Cthulhu fhtagn", "Cthulhu fhtagn". — H.P. Lovecraft

Cyclopean Quotes By Anonymous

mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly — Anonymous

Cyclopean Quotes By Lucy Larcom

There is something in the place where we were born that holds us always by the heart-strings. — Lucy Larcom

Cyclopean Quotes By H.P. Lovecraft

Great Cyclopean cities of titan blocks and sky-flung monoliths, all dripping with green ooze and sinister with latent horror. — H.P. Lovecraft

Cyclopean Quotes By H.P. Lovecraft

The effect was that of a Cyclopean city of no architecture known to man or to human imagination, with vast aggregations of night-black masonry embodying monstrous perversions of geometrical laws and attaining the most grotesque extremes of sinister bizarrerie. — H.P. Lovecraft

Cyclopean Quotes By George Granville, 1st Baron Lansdowne

Whoe'er thou art, thy Lord and master see,
Thou wast my Slave, thou art, or thou shalt be. — George Granville, 1st Baron Lansdowne

Cyclopean Quotes By Charles Dickens

The world has narrowed to these dimensions, — Charles Dickens

Cyclopean Quotes By Fritz Zwicky

Astronautics, strictly speaking, will be concerned with voyages to other stars. Remarkably enough, to achieve such feats, we might not even have to leave the earth. It would suffice to accelerate the sun itself to a very high speed and let it drag all its planets with it. — Fritz Zwicky

Cyclopean Quotes By Stephen King

[Eddie] cried out but his cry was lost in the golden blast of some tremendous horn. It came from the top of the Tower, and seemed to fill the world. As that note of warning held and drew out over the field where he stood, blackness welled from the windows which girdled the Tower. It overspilled them and spread across the sky in flaggy streams which came together and formed a growing blotch of darkness. It did not look like a cloud; it looked like a tumor hanging over the earth. The sky was blotted out. And, he saw, it was not a cloud or a tumor but a shape, some tenebrous, cyclopean shape racing toward the place where he stood. — Stephen King

Cyclopean Quotes By Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen

I still remember our first meeting, when Albers brought him to my house. On the little carriage which carried him from the station, and which was hardly built with such loads in mind, sat a massive figure who appeared even more enormous by virtue of the thick overcoat he wore. Everything about him had the effect of extraordinary permanence and solidity: the deep bass voice; the tweed jacket, already, at that time, almost habitual; the appetite at dinner; and at night, the truly Cyclopean snoring, loud as a series of buzz saws, which frightened the other guests at my Chiemgau country house out of their peaceful slumbers. — Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen

Cyclopean Quotes By Michael Gira

When I first started doing the quieter, more acoustic material in Swans, there was a lot of derision and outright hatred from the audience and press, just as in the early days of Swans when we were rejected outright because of the bludgeoning, single-minded violence of the music. — Michael Gira

Cyclopean Quotes By H.P. Lovecraft

He talked about terrible meetings in lonely places, of cyclopean ruins in the heart of the Maine woods beneath which vast staircases led down to abysses of nighted secrets, of complex angles that led through invisible walls to other regions of space and time, and of hideous exchanges of personality that permitted explorations in remote and forbidden places, on other worlds, and in different space-time continua. — H.P. Lovecraft
