Anything Quotes (page 36)

I really see no other solution than to turn inwards and to root out all the rottenness there. I no longer believe that we can change anything in the world until we first change ourselves. And that seems to me the only lesson to be learned. Etty Hillesum
If the painful history of the human and Christian striving for God proves anything, it surely proves this: that any attempt to reduce God to the scope of our own comprehension leads to the absurd. We can only speak rightly about him if we renounce the attempt to comprehend and let him be the uncomprehended. Any doctrine of the Trinity, therefore, cannot aim at being a perfect comprehension of God. It is a frontier notice, a discouraging gesture pointing over to unchartable territory. It is... Joseph Ratzinger
Charles de Lint quote: "Dying doesn't end anything - it just changes where you are"
Dying doesn't end anything - it just changes where you are Charles de Lint
Those people were pushing life and night and day in front of them. Life hides everything from people. Their own noise prevents them from hearing anything else. They couldn't care less. The bigger and taller the city, the less they care. Take it from me. I've tried. It's a waste of time. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
J. D. Salinger quote: "Dont's ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start..."
Dont's ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everyone- Holden Caulfield J. D. Salinger
Fearful of missing anything, he read on, filled with this anticipation which was half terror, of coming upon something which would touch him, not simply touch him but lift him and carry him away. William Gaddis
Entire sections of them simply cannot be translated - the characters are legible and well-known, but when put together they do not say anything that leaves an imprint on the modern mind."Like instructions for programming a VCR. Neal Stephenson
John Steinbeck quote: "He never forgot anything but he never bothered to arrange his..."
He never forgot anything but he never bothered to arrange his memories. -Hazel, Cannery Row John Steinbeck
W. Somerset Maugham quote: "If you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often..."
If you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. W. Somerset Maugham
I can’t do nothing for you either, Billy. You know that. None of us can. You got to understand that as soon as a man goes to help somebody, he leaves himself wide open. He has to be cagey, Billy, you should know that as well as anyone. What could I do? I can’t fix your stuttering. I can’t wipe the razorblade scars off your wrists or the cigarette burns off the back of your hands. I can’t give you a new mother. And as far as the nurse riding you like this, rubbing your nose in your weakness... Ken Kesey
If you tried to doubt everything you would not get as far as doubting anything. The game of doubting itself presupposes certainty. Ludwig Wittgenstein
It’s funny how when you are dying, you still fight for the upper hand. You want to pick the terms; you want to choose the date. You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control. Jodi Picoult
Because we live in a largely free society, we tend to forget how limited is the span of time and the part of the globe for which there has ever been anything like political freedom: the typical state of mankind is tyranny, servitude, and misery. The nineteenth century and early twentieth century in the Western world stand out as striking exceptions to the general trend of historical development. Political freedom in this instance clearly came along with the free market and the development of... Milton Friedman
...[she]considered the possibility of telling her about everything that was happening, but then she changed her mind; people never learn anything by being told; they have to find out for themselves. Paulo Coelho
He was nothing to me and I could have had no foresight then, that he ever would be anything to me, but it happened that I had this opportunity of observing him well. Charles Dickens
