my compass QUOTES

1 " Her eyes began to shimmer with tears. “You . . . you love me?”

His heart seemed permanently lodged in his throat. “More than life. God only knows why you love me, because I sure as hell don’t, but I know why I love you. You’re my beacon in the darkness, and my compass on a night sea. When I’m with you, I don’t want to dance with Death. I want to dance with Life. I want to dance with you. And whatever it takes, I mean to spend the rest of my life trying to deserve you. "

― Sabrina Jeffries , To Wed a Wild Lord (Hellions of Halstead Hall, #4)

2 " Due north’ on my compass is largely ‘due’ to the fact that in ‘due’ time I have been ‘unduly’ lax in recalibrating my compass. And I’m apparently ignorant enough to wonder why I’m lost. "

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

3 " The proper way is lost to me; my compass spins. I therefore give my entire attention to those works that seem to me most incorruptible: the application of heat, the proportion of seasoning, the arrangement of a plate. When robbed of all pretensions and aspirations, with no proper home nor any knowledge of what discord tomorrow brings, I still may have a pocketful of dignity. The Roman pomp and raiment have fallen away, and I see at last the glory of washed feet and shared bread. "

― Eli Brown , Cinnamon and Gunpowder

4 " Did you really think I'd steer you wrong?" Then William pointed to the wide-open country beyond the next ridge. " New York's that way. My compass is unerring. "

5 " Though pleas'd to see the dolphins play, I mind my compass and my way. "
