Absence quotes
" When I came back to Dublin I was courtmartialed in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence. "

Brendan Behan
" And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else. "

Patti Davis
" I also love the absence of pressure, any kind of pressure, with documentaries. I know what Roger Corman's talking about when he says that a director has to be part businessman. "

Jonathan Demme
" The main reason for the parental absence is to protect my parents' private lives. "

Anita Desai
" The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. "

Henry Ellis
" The odd thing that a lot of people don't get is that I have written a wrenching and harrowing work of non-fiction about my mother's murder and its effect on me but I was a happy man when I started out writing the book and I'm a happier man now. I think the absence of self-pity shows in the book. "

James Ellroy
" That a great battle must soon be fought no one could doubt; but, in the apparent and perhaps real absence of plan on the part of Lee, it was impossible to foretell the precise scene of the encounter. "

Edward Everett
" We prefer to believe that the absence of inverted commas guarantees the originality of a thought, whereas it may be merely that the utterer has forgotten its source. "

Clifton Paul Fadiman
" Worried about his absence - Campari's car was faster than mine- and the chase of Bonmartini and Giulio Masetti's Mercedes, I looked at Siena with a first sign to slow down. "

Enzo Ferrari
" Yes, I think we have created a culture in which there is a complete absence of piety of any kind. And piety was always an ingredient of culture. "

Ian Hamilton Finlay
" It is hard to think of any previous age in which there has been this kind of absence of piety - piety took different forms, but it has never before been completely abandoned. Our age has abandoned it and that is why so many things become incomprehensible, and therefore cannot be spoken about. "

Ian Hamilton Finlay
" I wish you to inform the Court that my absence, though deliberate, is not intended in any way to be disrespectful. Nor is it prompted by any fear of the punishment which might be inflicted on me. "

Bram Fischer
" Buildings can be rebuilt, no matter what the size. The void in sky is not just the absence of buildings, but the loss of faith in the human conscience. "

Fred Gallagher
" In France, a woman may forget that she is neither young nor handsome; for the absence of these claims to attention does not expose her to be neglected by the male sex. "

Marguerite Gardiner
" Yes, the meeting of dear friends atones for the regret of separation; and like it so much enhances affection, that after absence one wonders how one has been able to stay away from them so long. "
