Halo Silentium Quotes

#1. You,
With the
Paper weight halo
And the papier-mâché heart.

You,
With the trembling palms,
That are tired
Of touching, but never grasping.

But
My love,
When your scintillating gaze
Lands on what has dismantled you,
Forgive it.

Forgive yourself.
For what is not meant for
Will never reach you. #Quote by Zienab Hamdan

#2. Everything that liberals want they call a civil right. This avoids them having to argue about it and puts the halo around the issue. #Quote by Ann Coulter

#3. I might be more kindly disposed to this ultra-secular notion that whenever bad things happen someone must be held accountable if a curious little halo of blamelessness did not seem to surround those very people who perceive themselves as bordered on every side by agents of wickedness. That is, it seems to be the same folks who are inclined to sue builders who did not perfectly protect them from the depredations of an earthquake who will be the first to claim that their son failed his math test because of attention deficit disorder, and not because he spent the night before at a video arcade instead of studying complex fractions. #Quote by Lionel Shriver

#4. Creep we did, until we were just outside the halo of firelight. Three bent-backed hags were walking a slow circle around a large cauldron, dropping in twisted bits of this and that as they chanted. "Double, double, toil and trouble: Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." "Witches," whispered Kent, paying tribute to the god of all things bloody fucking obvious. #Quote by Christopher Moore

#5. I have angel wings and a halo on my wrist, which I got done on my 30th birthday in memory of my brother. #Quote by Sheridan Smith

#6. That's awesome, I told her, but I'm letting you use my body so that we can break into Lara's office, not so that you can give me a makeover. Besides, if I wander around looking like this, people will either know I'm doing magic somehow or wonder how I managed to sneak a flatiron into Hex Hall.
It was an odd thing, watching my face crumple into a scowl at…myself.
"You're supremely irritating when you're right," she said, waving her hand. Once again, my hair sprang out in a messy halo of curls. #Quote by Rachel Hawkins

#7. The thinking (person) must oppose all cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another. #Quote by Albert Schweitzer

#8. We think we value mothers in America, but we don't. We may revere motherhood, the hazy abstraction, the cream-of-wheat-with-a-halo ideal, but a mother is just a kind of woman, after all, and women are trouble and not so valuable. Low-income mothers drag down the country - why'd they have kids if they couldn't support them? Middle-class mothers are boring frumps. Elite ones are obsessed sanctimommies: Don't they know how annoying they are, with their yoga, their catfights over diapers and breastfeeding, their designer strollers that take up half the sidewalk so that people with important places to go have to take several extra steps? #Quote by Katha Pollitt

#9. She knelt at the side of my bed, kissed my cheek, and I woke, rubbed my eyes, looked up at her dreamily. The hall light shone in my eyes. There was a halo in her hair. It must have been that Tupperware bowl on her head. #Quote by Laura Kasischke

#10. In psychology, they call the holistic view you form about another person your global evaluation. As you can see, your global evaluation about the height or beauty of another person greatly affects your other estimations, but many other global evaluations can produce the halo effect. When it comes to your favorite bands, directors, brands, or companies, you often lie to yourself about their shortcomings. For example, if you really, truly love a particular musician or band, you will forgive their poorer works much more readily than will a less-devoted fan. You may find yourself defending their latest album, explaining the nuances to the uninitiated, wondering why they can't appreciate it. Or maybe you absolutely love a particular director or author, and believe her to be a genius who can do no wrong. When critics slam her latest movie or book, how do you react? Like most fanatics, you probably see the dissenters as naysayers and nitpickers drunk on their own haterade. The halo effect nullifies your objectivity. #Quote by David McRaney

#11. 'Salaam Bombay' didn't put a halo on the poor. Instead, it said that they will teach us how to live. #Quote by Mira Nair

#12. He leaned over her, the sun behind his head making a halo of gold, his face lit by the reflections off the water. #Quote by Elizabeth Chandler

#13. it was too late, the buildings were falling to dust, eaten by the invisible jaws of quantum desintegrators, and hostiles had ringed the city in deadly mechas. that void of obliteration plucked me away from any kind of hope. no warning was made, only the halo of plasma guns juicing up behind walls of lifeless wreck. and then i was buried in the dirt left only for the gods to remember #Quote by Unknown

#14. That night, having wriggled down into my futon all alone, I found myself in the grips of a wrenching sadness. I was only a child, but I knew the feeling that came when you parted with something, and I felt that pain. I lay gazing up at the ceiling , feeling the sleek stiffness of the well-starched sheets against my skin. My distress was a seed that would grow into an understanding of what it meant to say goodbye. In contrast to the heavy ache I would come to know later on in life, this was tiny and fresh – a green bud of pain with a bright halo of light rimming its edges. #Quote by Banana Yoshimoto

#15. I looked down at Lilah, her hair around her on the pillow like a damn halo. "Baby," I rasped, you look like a fuckin' angel right now. I ain't seeing any evidence of some evil, sinful woman." Lilah's hand dropped. "That is the disguise. The devil is beautiful after all."
"Then I fuckin' want the devil, Li...I want you. #Quote by Tillie Cole

#16. 'Ghosts of Onyx' is the end of one chapter in the 'Halo' saga - and hopefully the start of an entirely new one! #Quote by Eric Nylund

#17. Positive thought expands the halo of mind energy. #Quote by Betty Shine

#18. I think it's a facade - like a puppet show, you know? We can only see what's going on above the curtain. But with the halo on, it's like the curtains have been removed and there's a whole world of activity behind them. It makes me wonder if the world I thought I knew would even be possible without the Celestial #Quote by Shannon Dittemore

#19. Their house was about a mile outside of town. The kids would play outdoors, in the backyard and the large stubble field behind the house. Dusk seemed to last for hours, and when it was finally dark they would sit under the porch light, catching thickly buzzing June bugs and moths, or even an occasional toad who hopped into the circle of light, tempted by the halo of insects that floated around the bare orange lightbulb next to the front door #Quote by Dan Chaon

#20. And a face above mine, white and beautiful, eyes as large as the moon. You saved me. A hand on my cheek, cool and dry. Why did you save me? Words welling up on a tide: No, the opposite. Eyes the colour of a dawn sky, a crown of blond hair, so bright and white and blinding I could swear it was a halo. #Quote by Lauren Oliver

#21. He said, A ring is a halo for your finger. From now on, we no longer cast two shadows, we cast one. #Quote by Douglas Coupland

#22. Once in a while, I like to polish my halo by taking on a case pro bono. #Quote by Dana Stabenow

#23. Hey angel, I think you're halo has a screw loose. #Quote by Jesse Lacey

#24. The games enthralled the public and diverted their attentions from the Halo wars. And - unlike the arts - they could not be used as vehicles for subversion. For gamers like myself it was a near-utopian state of affairs. We were pampered and courted by the houses and made immensely rich. #Quote by Alastair Reynolds

#25. You," I surmised, and gestured round. "Thank you."
"No," he denied. His pale hair floated out from beneath his cap in a halo as he shook his head. "But I assisted. Thank you for bathing. It makes my task of checking on you less onerous. I'm glad you're awake. You snore abominably."
I let this comment pass. "You've grown." I observed.
"Yes. So have you. And you've been sick. And you slept quite a long time. And now you're awake and bathed and fed. You still look terrible. But you no longer smell. It's late afternoon now. Are there any other obvious facts you'd like to review? #Quote by Robin Hobb

#26. 'Halo' I wrote with my grandpa in his nursing home. When I went to visit him, he'd often comment on my halo. But of course, I couldn't see. And he always - he had pictures of Jesus with these beautiful halos. And so I asked him if he'd write a song with me about Jesus' halo. #Quote by Abigail Washburn

#27. Pick," Emma tells her.
Tira's lip trembles. She tries to back out of sight, but someone pushes her forward. "Pick…Pick what?"
Emma motions to the halo of predators above them, around them, everywhere. "Pick two. Any two you want, and I will have them divide Jagen's body evenly."
"No!" Jagen screams, his face contorted in terror.
Emma cocks her head at him. "Jagen, make up your mind. Didn't you just say you don't believe I have the Gift? So then why should you care if she points to some harmless sharks?"
He clamps his mouth shut, but the look of panic stays.
Tira says, "I couldn't do that, Highness."
Highness! Someone called Emma "Highness!" It's one of the many names she calls Galen when she's mad at him. The irony is not lost on Emma. Her death glare cuts off his snickers.
She turns back to Tira. "Of course you can. There's nothing to worry about because Paca has the Gift, remember? Isn't that what you all believe? She would never let any harm come to her own father, would she? I know I wouldn't. So go ahead and pick. Paca will save Jagen."
Clever little angelfish. Galen smirks at Jagen, who won't meet his eyes. Nalia and Grom make their way to the edge of the center. Grom grins at Emma like she's his own daughter. Which is very weird for Galen. #Quote by Anna Banks

#28. Kiss me again," he challenged, only half joking.
It was so weird to hear him say that, to hear those words out loud. They had kissed. More than once. More than a lot. They had passed the point of being "just friends" by a long shot.
She leaned down and gave him a dry, sisterly little peck. And then she leaned back up again and smiled at him innocently. She wished she could a halo appear above her head for effect.
Jay made a sound at her that was like a growl, and then he pulled her down . . . hard. He flipped her over so that she was lying on her back and he was poised above her, and taking full advantage of his upper hand, he moved his lips over hers with a feather-light touch, in a way that was anything but innocent. Until she parted her lips and let him kiss her again . . . completely . . . thoroughly. She heard herself moan, and she could feel the throbbing of her own pulse flickering hotly through her veins.
He lifted his head and stared down at her, rubbing his thumb across her lower lip. "That's what I was talking about. A real kiss. #Quote by Kimberly Derting

#29. In the long, sleepless watches of the night, A gentle face the face of one long dead Looks at me from the wall, where round its head The night-lamp casts a halo of pale light. #Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

#30. I nodded and nodded and nodded again, like the motion could buoy me up for what had to be done. "Okay. We'll be okay. I'll go through and use . . . use my own soul to close the agte."
"You can't!" Lend said.
I shrugged, putting on a brave smile. "I'll be okay. They can probably fix me. I mean, Reth was able to put soul into me on this side. He should be able to do it on the other side, right?"
I looked from Vivian to Lend for reassurance, but neither of them had any to give. I needed them to be brave for me, to tell me it was going to work out. I'd come so far to get this bright, happy soul of my own, to figure out who I was and how to love and let myself be loved. I didn't want to give it up, and I needed to know it would be okay.
"Lie to me!" I shouted. "Tell me it's going to be okay!"
Lend shook his head. "There's no way I'm letting you use your own soul to close the gate." He stood straighter. "Use mine."
"What?"
"Take mine! I have more than you do anyway, right? It only makes sense."
"But who knows what that would do to you on the other side! You would be mortal! We'd have no idea how long you'd live, how it would change you."
He smiled bravely, shrugging. "I never asked to last forever. I'm not interested in immortality; you are the life I chose."
"Oh, will you two shut up?" Vivian stomped over to us, her white-blond hair whipped up into a bizarre halo around her head and her cotton gown barely staying on. "'Let me sacri #Quote by Kiersten White

#31. To the being of fully alive, the future is not ominous but a promise; it surrounds the present like a halo. #Quote by John Dewey

#32. Christopher . . . are these from you?" she asked at lunch, careful to make her tone light as she placed the two picture-poems on the table. Christopher's eyes fell to them, and he smiled.
"Yes."
He didn't ask if she liked them, and he didn't seem embarrassed.
Sarah was flustered, and somewhat surprised by Christopher's easy confidence. Even so, her natural suspicion surfaced. "Why?"
"Because," he answered seriously, "you make a good subject. Your hair, for one, is like a shimmering waterfall. It's so fair that it catches the light. It makes you seem like you have a halo about you. And your eyes - they're such a pure color, not washed out at all, deep as the ocean. And your expression . . . intense and yet somehow detached, as if you see more of the world than the rest of us."
Flustered, she could think of no way to respond. Did he just say this stuff from the top of his head? Only her strict Vida control kept her from blushing.
Meanwhile Nissa entered the cafeteria. She started to sit, then glanced from the pictures, to Christopher, to Sarah. "Should I go somewhere else?"
Christopher nodded to a chair, answering easily, "Sit down. We aren't exchanging dark secrets - yet."
Nissa flashed a teasing look to her brother as she took a seat. "As his sister, I feel the need to inform you, Sarah, that Christopher has been talking about you incessantly."
Christopher smiled, unembarrassed. "I suppose I might have been.'
"Especially your #Quote by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

#33. My first book was signed up when I was 13, and I've been writing ever since. But penning the 'Halo' series has been so much more rewarding than I ever expected. For three years, from the age of 16 to 19, I poured my life, my experiences, and a love for the supernatural that dates back to childhood into these books. #Quote by Alexandra Adornetto

#34. The raven of Edgar Allan Poe has a halo that he extinguishes from time to time

("Spanish Generosity") #Quote by Max Jacob

#35. I'm always game for creating a new character, and I liked the idea of putting something new into the 'Halo' universe. #Quote by Mike Colter
