Sunday Quotes - Compassion is a lifetime business
“Sunday
is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week.”

is a lifetime business. You can't say something like, "I will have
compassion on Monday, Thursdays and Fridays only. But for the rest, I will be
cruel". That is hypocrisy.”

“It's
not that we spend five days looking forward to just two. It's that most people
do what they enjoy most on those two days. Imagine living a life where everyday
are your Saturdays and Sundays. Make everyday your weekend. Make everyday a
play-day…”

spice has a special day to it. For turmeric it is Sunday, when light drips fat
and butter-colored into the bins to be soaked up glowing, when you pray to the
nine planets for love and luck.”

“Two
or three angels
Came
near to the earth.
They
saw a fat church.
Little
black streams of people
Came
and went in continually.
And
the angels were puzzled
To
know why the people went thus,
And
why they stayed so long within.”

happened on one of those what we called "Sunday Kind of Love" days, after
the song by Etta James. We loved the lyrics, because, as she sings, it was the
kind of love that lasted past Saturday night. That felt right to us.”

“A
friend said to me – we were talking about our stage in life, when we suddenly
discover that we are the grown-ups, with children and parents, and even
grandparents to tend to, not to mention our pupils, patients or clients or
employers – that we spend so much time dealing with it all, there is scarcely
time to feel. I walked up the silent road, wondering if I couldn’t reconcile
myself again to the idea of the Sabbath, to the day of dreary silence and mutton
broth I’d known as a child, if we couldn’t close the shops and still the
traffic and institute a modern, churchless day of contemplation and rest; and
if it would help at all.”

“Stormy
Sunday by Stewart Stafford
Coffee
offsets the stormy Sunday,
Thundery
fingers scratch the drum,
The
coal-black sky stares unamused,
A
dim rainbow stripe upon its back.
The
understudy sun punches through,
Slamming
into a house's white gable,
Blinding
against the dark backdrop,
The
shushing showers rage angrier.
Liquid
beading on the window pane,
Translucent
insects marching slipshod,
Weather
duellists go back and forth,
A
primal rolling flux rumbling on.

occured to me that anyway one more Sunday was over, that Maman was buried now,
that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed.”

Albert Camus, The Stranger
“So
we reached a compromise. It was item No. 1 in the prenuptial agreement. It was,
in fact, the only item in the prenuptial agreement. Since she already owned a
gas grill, I would agree to having occasional cookouts on our patio. But if she
insisted on eating burnt food, she would have to burn it herself. As Donald
Trump found out, a prenuptial agreement is not always worth the disappearing
ink it is written with. On a Sunday afternoon of our first summer together, I
find myself on the patio, chewing smoke. But it is a compromise.”
