If you visit in your dreams, you will shortly have some pleasant occasion in your life.
If your visit is unpleasant, your enjoyment will be marred by the action of malicious persons.
For a friend to visit you, denotes that news of a favorable nature will soon reach you. If the friend appears sad and travel-worn, there will be a note of displeasure growing out of the visit, or other slight disappointments may follow. If she is dressed in black or white and looks pale or ghastly, serious illness or accidents are predicted. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted ....

Familiar Quotations: Visit

AuthorQuotation

Anna Jameson

Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.

Bill Hicks

I'll tell you, too, that's starting to depress me about UFO's, about the fact that they cross galaxies, or wherever they come from to visit us, and always end up in places like Fife, Alabama. Maybe these are not super-intelligent beings, man. Maybe they're like hillbilly aliens. Some intergalactic Joad family or something. "Don't you all want to land in New York, or L.A.?" "Nah, we just had a long trip, we gonna kick back and whittle some." Oh, my God, they're idiots. "We're gonna enter our mothership in the tractor pull!" My God, we're being invaded by rednecks. My biggest fear. Last thing I want to see is a flying saucer up on blocks in front of some trailer, you know? Wouldn't that be depressing? Some bumper sticker on it - "They'll get my ray gun when they pry my cold, dead, eighteen-fingered hand off of it."

Josh Billings

A good place to visit, but a poor place to stay.
Solitude: A good place to visit, but a poor place to stay.

Katharine Hepburn

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.

Oscar Wilde

When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.

Vinton Cerf

A visit to cyberspace is like a visit to the collective consciousness of the world. Alice's journey seems tame by comparison. Our hopes, our dreams, our monumental accomplishments, our frailties, and the everyday business of life is all there to be shared.

William Cowper

Visitors are insatiable devourers of time, and fit only for those who, if they did not visit, would do nothing.
