― Billy Graham , Billy Graham in Quotes

62 " Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise. "

― George Orwell , 1984

63 " As sensory experience junkies, we have been blinded to the majesty in the common. "

― Bryant McGill , Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

64 " I know your head aches. I know you're tired. I know your nerves are as raw as meat in a butcher's window. But think what you're trying to accomplish - just think what you're dealing with. The majesty and grandeur of the English language; it's the greatest possession we have. The noblest thoughts that ever flowed through the hearts of men are contained in its extraordinary, imaginative and musical mixtures of sounds. And that's what you've set yourself out to conquer, Eliza. And conquer it you will. "

― , My Fair Lady

65 " Like dandelions they flew across the expanse
Of desert calm without advance
They filtered through the stilled “become”
Returning to the land they knew.
They knew no more than where they flew.
And so they gathered, one and all,
And scattered it throughout their path.
Only golden-shafted majesty could still their might.
And so they flew onward, without a path. "

― Gina Marinello-Sweeney , The Rose and the Sword (The Veritas Chronicles #2)

66 " Black people are not the descendants of kings. We are—and I say this with big pride—the progeny of slaves. If there’s any majesty in our struggle, it lies not in fairy tales but in those humble origins and the great distance we’ve traveled since. Ditto for the dreams of a separate but noble past. Cosby’s, and much of black America’s, conservative analysis flattens history and smooths over the wrinkles that have characterized black America since its inception. "

― Ta-Nehisi Coates , We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy

67 " But there could be no doubt that greatness was seated within; greatness was passing, hidden, down Bond Street, removed only by a hand's-breadth from ordinary people who might now, for the first and last time, be within speaking distance of the majesty of England, of the enduring symbol of the state which will be known to curious antiquaries, sifting the ruins of time, when London is a grass-grown path and all those hurrying along the pavement this Wednesday morning are but bones with a few wedding rings mixed up in their dust and the gold stoppings of innumerable decayed teeth. "

― Virginia Woolf , Mrs. Dalloway

68 " I cannot heave my heart into my mouth. I love your majesty according to my bond "

69 " Anything great will only be appreciated if I am given the opportunity to feel the absence of it, or experience the reversal of it. It is only then that I can even begin to understand its majesty and cherish it in the manner I should have all along. "

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

70 " It is not the importance of the thing, but the majesty of the Lawgiver, that is to be the standard of obedience.
~Andrew Bonar~ "

― Jerry Bridges , The Pursuit of Holiness

71 " It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder and real worship; for when the soul is overwhelmed with the majesty of God's glory, though it may not express itself in song, or even utter its voice with bowed head in humble prayer, yet it silently adores. "

― Charles Haddon Spurgeon , Morning and Evening, Based on the English Standard Version

72 " Drowning in the majesty of the constellations is a reminder that the universe was here long before us, and it will be here long after we’re gone.

When our bones become nothing but ash and earth, the world will keep on spinning.

People will die, cry, love, and live as if we never were.

But we are now. And that’s all that matters.

In this moment, we are.

Nothing but a boy and a girl.

On the cusp of something greater than ourselves.

Entering into the unknown and hoping we make it out the other side.

With a strong sense of ourselves and only a faint idea of who we want to be.

We are what we are.

And we. are. now.

Young, free, alive.

Here, together, loved. "

― A.J. Compton , The Counting-Downers
