Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Thomas Arnold
Piecing together the details of the bunker almost seemed like archaeological work at times. It was like collecting fragments of a mosaic. I was able to speak to some of his servants, and people who were close to the imperial court, but I can't give any names because some of them prefer to remain in the shadows.
Alexander Sokurov
Foreign rightwing fundamentalists attacked the United States. Domestic rightwing fundamentalists took the spotlight. And everywhere, progressives, liberals, and moderates either fell in behind them, or retreated into the shadows . . . We have seen the consequences.
Ben Manski

'White Shadows' is one of my favorite songs on the record, ... It's just really strong rhythmically. And the fact that it's going down so well with crowds is very cool.
Guy Berryman
. . . daydreams, as it were . . . I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.
Grandma Moses
Forty-six years ago, Martin Luther King had a dream. Today, we have a dream, a dream to come out from the shadows. .
Miguel Molina
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
Gaston Bachelard
Often, I would paint from a photograph, or from a magazine layout. Photography has taught me to see shapes. Before, I only saw a pretty flower. Now, I see shadows and things behind the flower that form a special shape. A macro lens allows me to photograph the things most people never see.
Jim Schupp
If God created shadows it was to better emphasize the light.
Pope John Xxiii
Life is itself but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living. All things fall under this name. The sun itself is but the dark simulacrum, and light but the shadow of God.
Thomas Browne, Sr.
That's tough. The toughest part was the shadows. We all came back saying we couldn't see the ball. It was tough picking it up. When you go from a slow knuckleball to a guy throwing 95 and you add in the shadow, it's tough.
Frank Catalanotto
When I hit the ball, I knew that I had hit it high enough to hit the wall. But there were shadows on the net behind the wall and I didn't see the ball land there. I didn't know I had hit a homer until I saw the umpire at first signaling home run with his hand. I couldn't believe it.
Bucky Dent

If I'm gong out to a club I like to have fun with it. I'll use blue or red sparkly eyeliners and glittery eye shadows. Then I'll put on some blue mascara. I focus on the eyes.
Julia Stiles
I greet you. Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.

William H. Gass
Man is his own star; and the soul that can/ Render an honest and a perfect man/ Commands all light, all influence, all fate./Nothing to him falls early, or too late./Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,/ Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.
John Fletcher

I guess we're coming out of the shadows of football.
Ashley Allen
I had the advantage of making a movie about a man who was an artist himself, and an artist of the shadows, in the sense that he understood life's lonelinesses and life's mistakes, and that people make them. In that sense, he wasn't interested in hiding them.
James Mangold
When the hounds of spring are on winter's traces,/ The mother of months in meadow or plain/ Fills the shadows and windy places/ With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain . . .
Algernon Charles Swinburne
There are people who assert that the Ministers are at fault. Not so. The country now realizes that the Ministers are but fleeting shadows. The country can clearly see who sends them here. To prevent a catastrophe the Tsar himself must be removed, by force if there is no other way.
Alexander Kerensky
For people who like my work, the shadows of the children are like a fleeting moment; that moment you know will be gone in five seconds.
Susan Oomen
Earlier lives drift by on silver soles, and the shadows of the damned descend into these sighing waters.
Georg Trakl
I don't think it's made a massive difference, I think there's been a lot of conjecture about this new rule (faster kick-ins) and what a massive difference it's going to make ... but I think it's a little bit of jumping at shadows.
Paul Hamilton
Soldier in the Shadows. Unfortunately, it caused a little bit of a scare, but the program worked the way it was intended to.
Chris Dancy

Lydia Hernandez
You can only come to the morning through the shadows.
J.r.r. Tolkien

Mahonrry Hidalgo
One is forever throwing away substance for shadows.
Jennie Jerome Churchill
What we favor is everybody coming out of the shadows, paying a fine and becoming part of a legal guest-worker program. That would not necessarily take away their right to apply for citizenship, but what it does say is you can be part of a guest-worker program and get in line with everybody else for citizenship.
Jack Camper
That was a good group and these guys have played in their shadows since they were in Mustang and Bronco. They're not in anybody's shadow any longer — everyone around them is in their shadow now. We'll see how they react and so far they've been doing well.
Denny Butler
Nancy is now in the shadows. Up until Dellums declared, she had progressives supporting her.
Cy Gulassa
Historians are left forever chasing shadows, painfully aware of their inability ever to reconstruct a dead world in its completeness however thorough or revealing their documentation. We are doomed to be forever hailing someone who has just gone around the corner and out of earshot.
Simon Schama
I wear my shadows where they're harder to see, but they follow me everywhere. I guess that should tell me I'm travelling toward light.
Bruce Cockburn

Arthur Bryant
Money, power, victory and success fade in the shadows as we take our last breath for the only thing we take with us is the same thing we leave behind -- how we love and we were loved.
Robert Anthony
This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.
Aaron Nieckula
A lot of shows deal with government conspiracy, and there are the people in the shadows who you don't quite know what they're up to.
Brannon Braga
I couldn't really judge him because of the shadows. He was hitting his spots and didn't leave any balls out over the plate. That was the first time I faced him, and he's got good stuff with a bright future.
Shea Hillenbrand
Inebriations of love, shadows of love, fantasies of love, but never yet the one true love.
Edna O'brien
Nevertheless, the consuming hunger of the uncritical mind for what it imagines to be certainty or finality impels it to feast upon shadows in the prevailing famine of substance.
Eric Temple Bell
She fought so many battles for others, so I thought it would be most befitting to have her sitting in the quiet shadows of Battle Oaks, in a semi-reclined reassessment of what she's done and the battles she's fought.
