Cannot Quotes (page 161)

Pain is not the same as suffering. Left to itself, the body discharges pain spontaneously, letting go of it the moment that the underlying cause is healed. Suffering is pain that we hold on to. It comes from the mind’s mysterious instinct to believe that pain is good, or that it cannot be escaped, or that the person deserves it. Deepak Chopra
Martin Luther King jr. quote: "If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way"
If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way Martin Luther King jr.
It draws it's strength, this big secret, from the same root from which I draw my strength, both the good and the bad, because in the end, they cannot be separated. Anne Rice
Susan Sontag quote: "One cannot use the life to interpret the work. But One can use..."
One cannot use the life to interpret the work. But One can use the work to interpret the life. Susan Sontag
It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters. Edmund Burke
How men envy and often hate these warm clocks, these wives, who know they will live forever. So what do we do? We men turn terribly mean, because we can't hold to the world or ourselves or anything. We are blind to continuity, all breaks down, falls, melts, stops, rots, or runs away. So, since we cannot shape Time, where does that leave men? Sleepless. Staring. Ray Bradbury

We have a disharmony in our natures. We cannot live together without injuring each other. William Golding
The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way. (There is no good asking first whether the work before you deserves such a surrender, for until you have surrendered you cannot possibly find out.) C. S. Lewis
Thought and science are therefore raising problems which their terms of study can never answer, many of which are doubtless problems only for thought. The trisection of an angle is similarly an insoluble problem only for compass and straight-edge construction, and Achilles cannot overtake the tortoise so long as their progress is considered piecemeal, endlessly having the distance between them. However, as it is not Achilles but the method of measurement which fails to catch up with the... Alan Watts
Niels Bohr quote: "Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum..."
Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it. Niels Bohr
Jorge Luis Borges quote: "I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books."
I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books. Jorge Luis Borges
Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. […] If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there. Gene Roddenberry
I don't believe in God. And I certainly don't feel chosen."I think you may be."I smiled dubiously. "Thank you."It is not meant as a compliment. Hazard makes you elect. You cannot elect yourself. John Fowles
With me poetry has been not a purpose, but a passion; and the passions should be held in reverence: they must not? they cannot at will be excited, with an eye to the paltry compensations, or the more paltry commendations, of mankind. Edgar Allan Poe
Christopher Marlowe quote: "I am Envy...I cannot read and therefore wish all books burned."
I am Envy...I cannot read and therefore wish all books burned. Christopher Marlowe
