comfort

... one may live in a big house and yet have no comfort.

He stretched out on the bed and was suddenly struck by how utterly lonely he was.

I need more than anything right now what is, of course, most impossible, someone to love me, to be with me at night when I wake up in shuddering horror and fear of the cement tunnels leading down to the shock room, to comfort me with an assurance that no psychiatrist can quite manage to convey.

Smoking had become my favorite thing in the world to do. It was like having instant comfort, no matter where or when.

Most of us lie because it is our last resort to get out of any uncomfortable situation.

I find a certain comfort," confesses Marinus, "in humanity's helplessness.

Have you strayed from the path leading to heaven? Then call on Mary, for her name means "Star of the Sea, the North Star which guides the ships of our souls during the voyage of this life," and she will guide you to the harbor of eternal salvation.

I'm not at all contemptuous of comforts, but they have their place and it is not first.

So love is rest? The cosy corner? The little nook?Sometimes it ought to be. Sometimes it is.

I wouldn't be comfortable, but at least I'd have marginal protection against pointy steel objects that went stab in the night.

It__ going to be okay, Eric," Urte said, helping me sit up. I shook my head. "Lying is my forte, Urte, not yours._ (Eric.)

Needs? I guess that is what bothers so many folks. They keep expanding their needs until they are dependent on too many things and too many other people... I wonder how many things in the average American home could be eliminated if the question were asked, "Must I really have this?" I guess most of the extras are chalked up to comfort or saving time.Funny thing about comfort - one man's comfort is another man's misery. Most people do't work hard enough physically anymore, and comfort is not easy to find. It is surprising how comfortable a hard bunk can be after you come down off a mountain.

I just want to make sure Mama. Sometimes I don__ even know what I want. A lot of times I__ just tired._ Mama reached up and smoothed Liza__ curls away from her face. __ell darlin_, that__ the sign of a life being lived. I think we__e all tired when we__e giving it our best.
