Absences Quotes (page 2)

Peter Drucker quote: "The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the..."
The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it. Peter Drucker
Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. . . . It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it's a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different. J. K. Rowling
You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. Terence McKenna
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "And the most poignant thing was not Lolita's absence from my..."
And the most poignant thing was not Lolita's absence from my side, but the absence of her voice from the chorus. Vladimir Nabokov
What any true painting touches is an absence - an absence of which without the painting, we might be unaware. And that would be our loss. John Berger
He has given ample evidence of qualities hardly any other living statesman has demonstrated to the same degree: the courage to look facts in the face and to seek flexible solutions, respect for others, give-and-take in dialog situations, absence of hypocrisy, a complete absence of grandeur in the conduct of his personal life. He has never been driven by blind self-assertion to make absurd decisions. Alice Miller
We know that attention acts as a lightning rod. Merely by concentrating on something one causes endless analogies to collect around it, even penetrate the boundaries of the subject itself: an experience that we call coincidence, serendipity? the terminology is extensive. My experience has been that in these circular travels what is really significant surrounds a central absence, an absence that, paradoxically, is the text being written or to be written. Julio Cortazar
Carl Sagan quote: "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence."
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Carl Sagan
Neal A. Maxwell quote: "Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence..."
Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage. Neal A. Maxwell
Let me tell you I am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction: absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer. Ovid
If your parent is deployed and you are that young, you spend the whole time wondering where they are and waiting for them to come home. As time passes and the absence is longer and longer, you become more and more concerned - but you don't really have the words to express your concern. There's only this continued absence. Suzanne Collins
Happiness is the absence of suffering. I think it's an interesting way of looking at it. I think the absence of suffering exists very rarely in the world we live in. Julie Christie
Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple. Jonathan Ive
It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present. Antonin Artaud
Now, when their glances met, they understood one another. The power that lay within both their souls had met, and, as it were, clasped hands. They accepted one another's sacrifice. Hers, mayhap, was the more complete of the two, because for her his absence would mean weary waiting, the dull heartache so terrible to bear. Baroness Orczy
