Becoming Quotes (page 110)

And before you know it, the object disappears, arguments evaporate; no culprit is discovered, the offense ceases to be an offense and becomes a matter of fate, like the toothache which cannot be blamed on anyone, and the only thing that's left is, once again, to bang the wall as hard as you can. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Mignon McLaughlin quote: "Once you become self-conscious, there is no end to it; once..."
Once you become self-conscious, there is no end to it; once you start to doubt, there is no room for anything else. Mignon McLaughlin
Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin! Salvador Dali
In a certain faraway land the cold is so intense that words freeze as soon as they are uttered, and after some time then thaw and become audible so that words spoken in winter go unheard until the next summer. Plutarch
Azar Nafisi quote: "Reality has become so intolerable, she said, so bleak, that..."
Reality has become so intolerable, she said, so bleak, that all I can paint now are the colors of my dreams. Azar Nafisi
Can human nature ever be wholly and radically transformed? Can the man whom God made good be made wicked by man? Can the soul be reshaped in its entirety by destiny and made evil because destiny is evil? Can the heart become misshapen and afflicted with ugly, incurable deformities under disproportionate misfortune, like a spinal column bent beneath a too low roof? Victor Hugo
The magician was studying her face with his green eyes. "Your face is wet," he said worriedly. "I hope that's spray. If you've become human enough to cry, then no magic in the world? oh, it must be spray. Come with me. It had better be spray. Peter S. Beagle
To be in the weakest camp is to be in the strongest school. Nor can I imagine anything that would do humanity more good than the advent of a race of Supermen, for them to fight like dragons. If the Superman is better than we, of course we need not fight him; but in that case, why not call him a Saint? But if he is merely stronger (whether physically, mentally, or morally stronger, I do not care a farthing), then he ought to have to reckon with us at least for all the strength we have. If we... Gilbert K. Chesterton
Jane Austen quote: "Now they were as strangers; nay worse than strangers, for they..."
Now they were as strangers; nay worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. Jane Austen
Robert Musil quote: "One must conform to the baseness of an age or become neurotic."
One must conform to the baseness of an age or become neurotic. Robert Musil
Soren Kierkegaard quote: "In the Christianity of Christendom the Cross has become..."
In the Christianity of Christendom the Cross has become something like the child’s hobby-horse and trumpet. Soren Kierkegaard
Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated. The singularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth. Bob Marley
Bruce Lee quote: "Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain..."
Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality. Bruce Lee
The State which would provide everything, absorbing everything into itself, would ultimately become a mere bureaucracy incapable of guaranteeing the very thing which the suffering person—every person—needs: namely, loving personal concern. We do not need a State which regulates and controls everything, but a State which, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, generously acknowledges and supports initiatives arising from the different social forces and combines spontaneity with... Joseph Ratzinger
Jeanette Winterson quote: "Intensity is the desire to receive. Open yourself to light and..."
Intensity is the desire to receive. Open yourself to light and you will become light. Jeanette Winterson
