Begining Quotes (page 34)

An idea is inevitably a coordination. It is a coming together of something that is separate or disorganized or incomplete. With an idea you begin to feel into the nature of that incompleteness."Nature and Idea" December 30, 1956 Frank Lloyd Wright
Empire as located its existence not in the smooth recurrent spinning time of the cycle of the seasons but in the jagged time of rise and fall, of beginning and end, of catastrophe. J. M. Coetzee
I have a strong propensity in me to begin this chapter very nonsensically, and I will not balk my fancy.--Accordingly I set off thus: Laurence Stern
Paris is the city in which one loves to live. Sometimes I think this is because it is the only city in the world where you can step out of a railway station—the Gare D'Orsay—and see, simultaneously, the chief enchantments: the Seine with its bridges and bookstalls, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the beginning of the Champs Elysees—nearly everything except the Luxembourg Gardens and the Palais Royal. But what other city offers as much as you leave a... Margaret Anderson
I have made up thousands of stories; I have filled innumerable notebooks withphrases to be used when I have found the true story, the one story to which allthese phrases refer. But I have never yet found the story. And I begin to ask, Are there stories? Virginia Woolf
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Life is at an end where the kingdom of God begins"
Life is at an end where the kingdom of God begins Friedrich Nietzsche
How eloquent could Anne Elliot have been, - how eloquent, at least, were her wishes on the side of early warm attachment, and a cheerful confidence in futurity, against that over-anxious caution which seems to insult exertion and distrust Providence! - She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning. Jane Austen
This pain to remain the same outweigh the pain to change... When you get tired enough is when you begin to want to sacrifice everything inside of you—the fear just leaves Erykah Badu
And this tenderness was not like. That which a certain poet. At the beginning of the century called true. And, for some reason, quiet. No, not at all. It rang out, like the first waterfall, It crunched like the crust of bluish ice. And it prayed with a swanlike voice, And it broke down right before our eyes. Anna Akhmatova
Two tasks of the beginning of life: to keep reducing your circle, and to keep making sure you're not hiding somewhere outside it. Franz Kafka
For it is the fate of every myth to creep by degrees into the narrow limits of some alleged historical reality, and to be treated by some later generation as a unique fact with historical claims...this is the way in which religions are wont to die out: under the stern, intelligent eyes of an orthodox dogmatism, the mythical premises of a religion are systematized as a sum total of historical events; one begins apprehensively to defend the credibility of the myths, while at the same time one... Friedrich Nietzsche
Anna Akhmatova quote: "I know beginnings, I know endings too, and life-in-death, and..."
I know beginnings, I know endings too, and life-in-death, and something else. I'd rather not recall just now. Anna Akhmatova
That Hegelian dialectics should provide a wonderful instrument for always being right, because they permit the interpretations of all defeats as the beginning of victory, is obvious. One of the most beautiful examples of this kind of sophistry occurred after 1933 when the German Communists for nearly two years refused to recognize that Hitler's victory had been a defeat for the German Communist Party. Hannah Arendt
Suzanne Collins quote: "Panic begins to set in. I can’t stay here. Flight is..."
Panic begins to set in. I can’t stay here. Flight is essential… But I can’t let my fear show. Suzanne Collins
