Canned Quotes (page 540)

There is no pattern the human mind can devise that does not exist already within the bounds of nature...Everything we do, see, write, notate, all are an echo of the deep seams of the universe. Music is the invisible world made visible through sound. Kate Mosse
Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn't my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I don't really feel, of understanding things I don't understand, being able to do things I'm not able to do (...) Can it really be allowable for anyone who feels like it to hypnotize another person, or many other persons, and then do what he likes with them? Particularly if the hypnotist is the first... Leo Tolstoy
There are three types of friends: those like food without which you can't live those like medicine which you need occasionally and those like an illness which you never want. Solomon Ibn Gabirol
As everyone applauds and sips champagne, I smile back at Rachel, thinking she got it just right. Love and friendship. They are what makes us who we are and what can change us, if we let them. Emily Giffin
Despite all that education and experience can do, I retain a certain level of unsophistication that I cannot eradicate and that my friends find amusing. In fact, I think I sometimes detect conspiratorial plottings among my friends to protect me against my own lack of sophistication. I don't mind. I suspect that I am never quite as unsophisticated as they think I am, but I don't mind. Isaac Asimov
Samuel Johnson quote: "There can be no friendship without confidence, and no..."
There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity. Samuel Johnson
Anger ... it's a paralyzing emotion ... you can't get anything done. People sort of think it's an interesting, passionate, and igniting feeling —- I don't think it's any of that —- it's helpless ... it's absence of control —- and I need all of my skills, all of the control, all of my powers ... and anger doesn't provide any of that —- I have no use for it whatsoever. Toni Morrison
He was one of those men, and they are not the commonest, of whom we can know the best only by following them away from the marketplace, the platform, and the pulpit, entering with them into their own homes, hearing the voice with which they speak to the young and aged about their own hearthstone, and witnessing their thoughtful care for the everyday wants of everyday companions, who take all their kindness as a matter of course, and not as a subject for panegyric. George Eliot
August Strindberg quote: "The further from one another, the nearer one can be."
The further from one another, the nearer one can be. August Strindberg
Jesus is busy with his own stuff, and is not going to get involved in your little tug-of-war. Plus, don't forget, he has his own mother to deal with. She's all he can handle, as far as mothers go. Anne Lamott
Reading is a dialog with oneself; it is self-reflection, which cultivates profound humanity. Reading is therefore essential to our development. It expands and enriches the personality like a seed that germinates after a long time and sends forth many blossom-laden branches. People who can say of a book, 'this changed my life' truly understand the meaning of happiness. Reading that sparks inner revolution is desperately needed to escape drowning in the rapidly advancing information society.... Daisaku Ikeda
Lloyd Alexander quote: "Keep reading. It's one of the most marvelous adventures that..."
Keep reading. It's one of the most marvelous adventures that anyone can have. Lloyd Alexander
It is both relaxing and invigorating to occasionally set aside the worries of life, seek the company of a friendly book...from the reading of 'good books' there comes a richness of life that can be obtained in no other way. Gordon B. Hinckley
Part came from Lane, and part from D. H. Lawrence; Gide, though I didn't know it then, gave part. They taught me to express my deep abhorrence. If I caught anyone preferring Art. To Life and Love and being Pure-in-heart. I lived with crooks but seldom was molested; The Pure-in-heart can never be arrested. W. H. Auden
John Fowles quote: "Art's cruel. You can get away with murder with words. But a..."
Art's cruel. You can get away with murder with words. But a picture is like a window straight through to your inmost heart. John Fowles
