Turkeys, quails, and small birds, are here to be seen; but birds are not numerous in desart forests; they draw near to the habitations of men, as I have constantly observed in all my travels.
William Bartram

We are all in this together. We want to have, I suppose, a single point of entry so that anyone coming near a disability service can get a very complete picture. Government needs to understand that picture, and we need to be able to offer somebody a one-stop shop.
Jay Weatherill

We are as near to heaven by sea as by land.
Humphrey Gilbert

We are near waking when we dream we are dreaming.
Novalis

We are still so close, David and I. We were at a party the other day at my mum's house and I was sitting on his lap. We're very affectionate. And I looked at him and thought after being married for 11 years! We were the only couple who were even near each other at that party. We're soul mates.
Victoria Beckham

We are very near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer.
Robert Falcon Scott

We are very near the final climactic events that end with the Second Coming of Christ.
Hal Lindsey

We moved over to Silver Spring, actually near University Park.
Jim Fowler

We saw in 2003 the beginnings of an outbreak of an illness called SARS. SARS ended up killing 800 people which is a significant number of deaths, but nowhere near as high as it could have been.
Michael Burgess

We thus see that the Greeks of the early ages knew little of any real people except those to the east and south of their own country, or near the coast of the Mediterranean.
Thomas Bulfinch

We were all flying around up and down the coast near Dunkirk looking for enemy aircraft which seemed also to be milling around with no particular cohesion.
Douglas Bader

We're not going to make Evolution or any of our other products depend on Mono anytime in the near future.
Nat Friedman

We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'
Justin Bieber

Well, I like way downtown near the Battery. I lived down there at this time and for, I guess, the following well, this is where I moved to uptown and I've been here for four years and this is 1965.
Robert Rauschenberg

What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil Gibran

What's near and dear to my heart is cooperative conservation.
Gale Norton

When I came there I found all my family gone, for the Indians had killed five people in the winter near that place, which frightened my wife and family away to Roanoke about 35 miles nearer in among the inhabitants, which I was informed of by an old man I met near the place.
Christopher Gist

When I see someone who is starved, they don't look alert. They don't have boundless energy. If you're too skinny, it looks like you're near death.
Kirstie Alley

When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog - big as a donkey.
Ray Davies

When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.
