Out Of Reach Quotes

“The funny thing about a lie is that once it has been said and believed, it lives and becomes. It can't be taken back. It sucks all the air from you until you give up and it takes over and you forget how to breathe on your own. It is like those parasitic relationships, but not like the shark and the little remora that politely cleans the shark's skin and sometimes attaches itself to its underbelly. No, it is more like a tapeworm eating someone from the inside out.”
― Carrie Arcos, Out of Reach

“I gaze out, to the stars. I remember the first time I saw real stars, through the hatch window. They were beautiful then, but now, seeing them here, all around me, beautiful feels like an inadequate word.

But all of them are out of reach.”
― Beth Revis, A Million Suns

“My eyes closed, hands open, Take it, take it. Then, every day wasted chasing it.”
― Laura Kasischke, Space, in Chains

“Out Of Reach
***
What would be a severe failure than that?
In the breaths of life
I had a thought
I had a dream
But that was out of my reach
How compelled I was.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“Any star thinks it's out of reach until it falls.”
― Tamerlan Kuzgov

“He could see Cannes shimmering in the distance, like a mirage it haunted him. A mirage, so nearby yet so far out of reach, a mirage of light and elegance, a mirage of fame and excess, a place where modern mythologies came to life, if only temporarily.”
― Ryan Gelpke, Dying in Champoussin

“Housing is out of reach to the masses!”
