Becomes Quotes (page 108)

(In part, quoting Robert Keegan from Harvard):'When we take the risk of really witnessing another human being, when we validate their human experience, we risk becoming recruited to their welfare.' I allow my empathy to be engaged, and once it is - because my feelings help teach me what my values are - I'm on the path for which there is no return. I am inexorably an advocate when I allow my empathy to be engaged. Ashley Judd
I believe that before anything else I'm a human being -- just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. Henrik Ibsen
I make myself up from everything I am, or could be. For many years I was more desire than fact. When I stop becoming, that’s when I worry. Stephen Dunn
You bring up your children to be self-reliant and independent and they double-cross you and become self-reliant and independent. Robert Cormier
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart. Khalil Gibran
Martin heaved a sigh of relief when the door closed behind the laundryman. He was becoming anti-social. Daily he found it a severer strain to be decent with people. Their presence perturbed him, and the effort of conversation irritated him. They made him restless, and no sooner was he in contact with them than he was casting about for excuses to get rid of them. Jack London
To speak truth, sir, I don't understand you at all: I cannot keep up the conversation, because it has got out of my depth. Only one thing I know: you said you were not as good as you should like to be, and that you regretted your own imperfection--one thing I can comprehend: you intimated that to have a sullied memory was a perpetual bane. It seems to me, that if you tried hard, you would in time find it possible to become what you yourself would approve; and that if from this day you began... Charlotte Bronte
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "She'd become an English major for the purest and dullest of..."
She'd become an English major for the purest and dullest of reasons: because she loved to read. Jeffrey Eugenides
Rumi quote: "Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with..."
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love. Rumi
Sigmund Freud quote: "Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God."
Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. Sigmund Freud
His biggest fear was that if and when he did find his missing daughter, she would no longer recognize who he had become in order to save her. Jodi Picoult
Bitter words normally evaporate with the moisture of breath, after a quarrel. In order to become permanent, they require transcribers, reporters, complicit black hearts. Barbara Kingsolver
All through my life the counsel to depend on prayer has been prized above almost any other advice I have ever received. It has become an integral part of me, an anchor, a constant source of strength and the basis of my knowledge of things divine. Ezra Taft Benson
If the sphere of paradox-religion is abolished, or explained away in aesthetics, an Apostle becomes neither more nor less than a genius, and then--good night, Christianity! Esprit and the Spirit, revelation and originality, a call from God and genius, all end by meaning more or less the same thing. Soren Kierkegaard
Ram Dass quote: "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear..."
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear... Ram Dass
