Another Quotes (page 128)

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly. Plotinus
What profession is more trying than that of author? After you finish a piece of work it only seems good to you for a few weeks; or if it seems good at all you are convinced that it is the last you will be able to write; and if it seems bad you wonder whether everything you have done isn’t poor stuff really; and it is one kind of agony while you are writing, and another kind when you aren’t. T. S. Eliot
About as genuine as tea made from a bit of paper which once lay in a drawer beside another piece of paper which had been used to wrap up a few tea leaves from which tea had already been made three times. Soren Kierkegaard
I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery. Mother Teresa
She felt a board indifference toward the immediate world around her toward other children and adults alike. She took it as a regrettable accident to be borne patiently for a while, that she happened to be imprisoned among people who were dull. She had caught a glimpse of another world and she knew it existed somewhere, the world that had created trains, bridges, telegraph wires and signal lights winking in the night. She had to wait she thought, and grow up to that world. - Dagny Taggart Ayn Rand
Andre Breton quote: "Words make love with one another."
Words make love with one another. Andre Breton
Arundhati Roy quote: "Change is one thing. Acceptance is another."
Change is one thing. Acceptance is another. Arundhati Roy
There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere. Jane Austen
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "Everything you're sure is right can be wrong in another place."
Everything you're sure is right can be wrong in another place. Barbara Kingsolver
There are indeed many wonders, and with regard to the stories people tell one another, it may be that such tales go beyond the true account and, embellished with iridescent lies, beguile them. Pindar
Paul Auster quote: "All men contain several men inside them, and most of us bounce..."
All men contain several men inside them, and most of us bounce from one self to another without ever knowing who we are. Paul Auster
You'll find that marriage is a good short cut to the truth. No, not quite that. A way of doubling back to the truth. Another thing you'll find is that the years of illusion aren't those of adolescence, as the grown-ups try to tell us; they're the ones immediately after it, say the middle twenties, the false maturity if you like, when you first get thoroughly embroiled in things and lose your head. Your age, by the way, Jim. That's when you first realize that sex is important to other people... Kingsley Amis
I do not have any other way of saying it. I think it happens but once and only to the very young when it feels like your skin could ignite at the mere touch of another person. You get to love like that but once. Pat Conroy
L. M. Montgomery quote: "There be three gentle and goodlie things, To be here, To be..."
There be three gentle and goodlie things, To be here, To be together, And to think well of one another. L. M. Montgomery
Octavio Paz quote: "Love is an attempt to penetrate another being, but it can only..."
Love is an attempt to penetrate another being, but it can only be realized if the surrender is mutual. Octavio Paz
