Quotes About Flame

You know what burns me? Matches.
~ Jay London
God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don't let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

A world that was like a great black ship pulling away from the shore of sanity and civilization, roaring its black horn in the night, taking two billion people with it, whether they wanted to go or not, to death, to fall over the edge of the earth and the sea into radioactive flame and madness.
~ Ray Bradbury
And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering manikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid fire on him.
~ Ray Bradbury
And as before, it was good to burn, he felt himself gush out in the fire, snatch, rend, rip in half with flame, and put away the senseless problem. If there was no solution, well then now there was no problem, either. Fire was best for everything.
~ Ray Bradbury
It was not burning, it was warming.
~ Ray Bradbury
The sun burned every day. It burned Time.
~ Ray Bradbury
Pop, would go one of the six-inch guns; a small flame would dart and vanish, a little white smoke would disappear, a tiny projectile would give a feeble screech - and nothing happend. Nothing could happen. There was a touch of insanity in the proceeding, a sense of lugubrious drollery in the sight; and it was not dissipated by somebody on board assuring me earnestly there was a camp of natives - he called them enemies! hidden out of sight somewhere.
~ Joseph Conrad
Por esa razón afirmo que Kurtz era un hombre notable. Él tenía algo que decir. Lo decía. Desde el momento en que yo mismo me asomé al borde, comprendí mejor el sentido de su mirada, que no podía ver la llama de la vela, pero que era lo suficiente amplia como para abrazar el universo entero, lo suficiente penetrante como para introducirse en todos los corazones que baten en la oscuridad. Había resumido, había juzgado. «¡El horror!».
~ Joseph Conrad
What you call your personality, you know? --it's not like actual bones, or teeth, something solid. It's more like a flame. A flame can be upright, and a flame can flicker in the wind, a flame can be extinguished so there's no sign of it, like it had never been.
~ Joyce Carol Oates

~ Joyce Carol Oates
The sky resembled shattered oyster shells ribboned with flame in the west, but at ground level, you could almost see (sometimes Mananne had stared out the window of her bedroom, observing) how shadows lifted from the snowy contours of the land, like living things.
~ Joyce Carol Oates
There is something in October sets the gipsy blood astir. We must rise and follow her Where from every hill aflame She calls and calls each vagabond by name.
~ Wallace Stegner
To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life.
~ Walter Pater

Oh, 'tis a terrible thing in early youth To be assailed by laughter and mute shame, A terrible thing to be befooled forsooth By one's own foolish face betrayed in flame.
