Rope Quotes

“Hold this rope while I dive into my soul; don't even bother pulling it if I didn't come up on my own.”
― Ahmed Mostafa

“Perhaps the wolf wasn't quite so dangerous as he pretended. Unfortunately, there was only one way to find out for sure——give him a little rope and see if he hung himself.

And pray that he didn't tie her up with it instead.”
― Sabrina Jeffries, Dance of Seduction

“All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment…

(…)

Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman—a rope over an abyss…

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under…”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Brandon, until this very moment, the world and the people in it have always been dark and incomprehensible to me, and I've tried to clear my way with logic and superior intellect, and you've thrown by own words right back in my face; you've given my words a meaning that I never dreamed of, and you tried to twist them into a cold logical excuse for your ugly murder!

Tonight you've made me ashamed of every concept I've ever had, of superior or inferior beings, but I thank you for that shame, because now I know that we're each of us a separate human being, Brandon, with the right to live and work and think as individuals, but with an obligation to the society that we live in. By what right do you dare say that there's a superior few to which you belong? By what right did you dare decide that that boy in there [he's referencing the dead body of "David," lying in a trunk in the middle of the room] was inferior and therefore could be killed?

Did you think you were God Brandon? Is that what you thought when you choked the life out of him? Is that what you thought when you served food from his grave! I don't know what you thought or what you are, but I know what you've done—YOU'VE MURDERED! You've strangled the life of a fellow human being who could live and love as you never could... and never will again!”
― Arthur Laurents

“It was hard to conceive of one so young roped into the war, but that was war for you. Jacob was just shy of twice his age and had avoided the rope so far. He thought that was a good thing. You see, the rope'd hang you.”

“Everything have something overall, everything says something about something about something, like the words the new you check out this word and you must check out this word because you don't know it and then you must this and this...
The same is here, there is some kind a string, but who will find the rope??
Who will pull the rope, who will remove this invisible wall which blocks the incrediable and spectacular stuff?”
― Deyth Banger

“one plus one is two; so the cord of two is better than one.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Regardless of how people divide people by color, social code, and category, the equality of one human being to the next (civilized or otherwise) is a tethered-rope of human emotions; most are born with them taut, some learn to twist them, and still others fight daily to keep theirs from unravelling.”
― Tracey Bond

“If I’d just quit making ropes I’d no longer be at the end of one.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Sometimes, life gives you hurdles you need to cross. But sometimes, it can give you hills or even mountains to climb. It can even give you a valley or two you need to get out off. It takes longer if you have no one to pull you out. Or you’ll never come out. It’s always nice to have someone who helps you climb that mountain. Who manages the rope to get you over it. It’s great to have someone toss you a rope so you can climb out that valley.
Just never think you can do something alone, because in the end, you won’t be able to climb that mountain, or escape that valley.
If you can... than you’re a superhero. Because in my experience, you need something to hold on to. Hold the rope and let that someone pull you up.”
― Kim Pape

“A person that climbs without ropes should not be surprised when they fall into heaven.”
― Steven Magee
