Am Quotes (page 380)

As a young man I was scornful about the supernatural but as I have got older, the sharp line that divided the credible from the incredible has tended to blur; I am aware that the whole world is slightly incredible Colin Wilson
I admit that I myself am far from having a complete command of every topic I touch on, but my knowledge of my subject is always greater than the interest or the understanding of my auditors. You see, there is one very good thing about mankind; the mediocre masses make very few demands of the mediocrities of a higher order, submitting stupidly and cheerfully to their guidance Alfred de Vigny
Just as sex is a God-given instinct for the prolongation of the human race, so the desire for property as a prolongation of one's ego is a natural right sanctioned by natural law. A person is free on the inside because he can call his soul his own; he is free on the outside because he can call property his own. Internal freedom is based upon the fact that "I am"; external freedom is based on the fact that "I have." But just as the excesses of flesh produce lust, for lust is sex in the wrong... Fulton J. Sheen
Few and mean as my gifts may be, I actually am, and do not need for my own assurance or the assurance of my fellows any secondary testimony. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Once more. Uncontradicting solitude. Supports me on its giant palm; And like a sea-anemone. Or simple snail, there cautiously. Unfolds, emerges, what I am. Philip Larkin
Billy Sunday quote: "The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and..."
The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out. Billy Sunday
I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved, me who am but as a dog. C. S. Lewis
Charlotte Bronte quote: "I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the..."
I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. Charlotte Bronte
Some care is needed in using Descartes' argument. "I think, therefore I am" says rather more than is strictly certain. It might seem as though we are quite sure of being the same person to-day as we were yesterday, and this is no doubt true in some sense. But the real Self is as hard to arrive at as the real table, and does not seem to have that absolute, convincing certainty that belongs to particular experiences. Bertrand Russell
The Augusteum warns me not to get attached to any obsolete ideas about who I am, what I represent, whom I belong to, or what function I may once have intended to serve. Elizabeth Gilbert
Edward Albee quote: "I am not interested in living in a citywhere there isn't a..."
I am not interested in living in a citywhere there isn't a production by Samuel Beckett running. Edward Albee
Are you all right, Sir?" asked Hezekiah."Just fighting over old battles in my mind," said John. "It's the problem with age. You have all these rusty arguments, and no quarrel to use them in. My brain is a museum, but alas, I'm the only visitor, and even I am not terribly interested in the displays."Hezekiah laughed, but there was affection in it. "I would love nothing better than to visit there. But I'm afraid I'd be tempted to loot the place, and carry it all away with me. Orson Scott Card
Anais Nin quote: "I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some..."
I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness. Anais Nin
Into the dark night Resignedly I go, I am not so afraid of the dark night As the friends I do not know, I do not fear the night above As I fear the friends below. Stevie Smith
I am in love with you', I responded.He laughed the most beguiling and gentle laugh.'Of course you are,' he replied. 'I understand perfectly because I'm in love with myself. The fact that I'm not transfixed in front of the nearest mirror takes a great deal of self-control.'It was my turn to laugh. Anne Rice
