Quotes About Tether

Sentiment would undo her - each of its ties were a tether that would hold her from her purpose. Men, perhaps, might nourish both heart and mind; but for a woman there could be no such luxury.

Wisdom grows by stripping away beliefs, until the last tether is cut, and suddenly you float free.
~ Steven Erikson
Wisdom grows by stripping away beliefs, until the last tether is cut, and suddenly you float free. Only, because your eyes are wide open, you see right away that you can't float in what you're in.

Is that, then, what we call liberty?

~ Charlie Huston

~ Jasper Fforde
We're all strangers connected by what we reveal, what we share, what we take away--our stories. I guess that's what I love about books--they are thin strands of humanity that tether us to one another for a small bit of time, that make us feel less alone or even more comfortable with our aloneness, if need be.
