Quotes About Rebuilding

When the world was ending the first time, Noah took all the animals, two by two, and loaded them aboard his escape craft for evacuation. But it's a funny thing: He left the plants to die. He failed to take the one thing he needed to rebuild life on land, and concentrated on saving the freeloaders!

Annabeth, thank goodness, would be staying in New York. She'd gotten permission from her parents to attend a boarding school in the city so she could be close to Olympus and oversee the rebuilding efforts. And close to me? I asked.

I remembered what she'd told me in New York, about building something permanent, and I thought—just maybe—we were off to a good start.

Instead he felt only love. And that was the miracle. The surge in hatred since the war began had created more love around it. It was indomitable, mad, and everlasting, scattered through the rich and the poor, deep and calm in the Quakers, hot and fierce in the mothers, faithful in the warriors, wistful in the pets, seeping its way into mercy and atrocity, destroying things, rebuilding them.
~ Kathy Hepinstall

After reading the journal, I was left with the comfort of that essential recurring image of my husband putting out to sea in a boat he had rebuilt, out through the crashing surf to the calm just beyond. Of him following the coastline north, alone, seeking in that experience the joy of small moments remembered from happier days. It made me fiercely proud of him. It showed resolve. It showed bravery. It bound him to me in a more intimate way than we had ever seemed to have while together.
~ Jeff Vandermeer

We have these meetings every couple of days. We're rebuilding Hell after it went up in flames like a flash-paper bikini when the original Lucifer, the real Lucifer, blew out of town after sticking me with the job.

Laila knows, to those who grumble that the promised aid money to Afghanistan isn't coming, that the rebuilding is going too slowly, that there is corruption, that the Taliban are regrouping already and will come back with a vengeance, that the world will forget once again about Afghanistan.
~ Khaled Hosseini
As a group, attachment-challenged children need to be looked at differently. This is a group of children who have experiences and fears of being separated from parent figures. Until they can rebuild some of their emotional security, their time in child-care must be restricted.
~ Deborah D. Gray
Once the fabric of a just society is undone, it takes generations to weave it back together.
~ Deepak Chopra
Nous ne vous énervez pas simplement parce que quelqu'un nous a menti. Nous perturbons principalement parce que partir de ce moment nous ne pouvons pas faire confiance à nouveau, pas seulement cette personne, mais tout le monde. Il peut ne pas être trop difficile de pardonner et d'oublier, mais il est presque impossible de réparer ce que la confiance brisée.
~ Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
Each word a world, a world bleeding through from some other place, a conduit and an entry point, if you only knew how to use them, the coordinates the biologist now used in her far journeying. Each sentence a merciless healing, a ruthless rebuilding that could not be denied.
~ Jeff Vandermeer

~ Emily Bronte
Depois de deitar por terra o meu palácio, não erga uma cabana só para admirar a sua própria benevolência ao me oferecer abrigo.
~ Emily Bronte
