Adjustment Quotes (page 3)

So I taught Sunday school and brought dishes to all manner of potlucks and tried to adjust the things I heard from the pulpit to my increasingly incongruent faith. Sue Monk Kidd
Dwight L. Moody quote: "No one can sum up all God is able to accomplish through one..."
No one can sum up all God is able to accomplish through one solitary life, wholly yielded, adjusted, and obedient to Him. Dwight L. Moody
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves. Julian Barnes
...women who 'adjust' as housewives, who grow up wanting to be 'just a housewife,' are in as much danger as the millions who walked to their own death in the concentration camps...they ate suffering a slow death of mind and spirit. Betty Friedan
In almost every professional field, in business and in the arts and sciences, women are still treated as second-class citizens. It would be a great service to tell girls who plan to work in society to expect this subtle, uncomfortable discrimination--tell them not to be quiet, and hope it will go away, but fight it. A girl should not expect special privileges because of her sex, but neither should she "adjust" to prejudice and discrimination Betty Friedan
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "It is invariably saddening to look through new eyes at things..."
It is invariably saddening to look through new eyes at things upon which you have expended your own powers of adjustment. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Will Cuppy quote: "A hermit is simply a person to whom civilization has failed to..."
A hermit is simply a person to whom civilization has failed to adjust itself. Will Cuppy
J. K. Rowling quote: "Her gorgeousness was a matter of minor adjustments to a..."
Her gorgeousness was a matter of minor adjustments to a pattern, so that a breathtaking harmony resulted. J. K. Rowling
He glanced at the hand that held the brand, noticing the cunning delicacy of the fingers that gripped it, how they adjusted themselves to all the inequalities of the surface, curling over and under and about the rough wood, and one little finger too close to the burning portion of the brand, sensitively and automatically writhing back from the hurtful heat to a cooler gripping-place; and in the same instant he seemed to see a vision of those same sensitive and delicate fingers being crushed... Jack London
Margaret Atwood quote: "We get along by a symbiotic adjustment of habits and with a..."
We get along by a symbiotic adjustment of habits and with a minimum of that pale-mauve hostility you often find among women. Margaret Atwood
Toni Morrison quote: "...the change was adjustment without improvement."
...the change was adjustment without improvement. Toni Morrison
Oho, now I know what you are. You are an advocate of Useful Knowledge.... Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge. You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly, and with no extra bits or useless parts. I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes... Robertson Davies
Let his name be cleared and everyone else adjust their thinking. He had put in time, now they must do the work. His business was simple. Find Cecilia and love her, marry her and live without shame. Ian Mcewan
The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. Martin Luther King jr.
One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change. Martin Luther King jr.
