Challenged Quotes (page 15)

[Changers] were a threat to identity, a challenge to the individualism even of those they were never likely to impersonate. It had nothing to do with souls or physical or spiritual possession; it was, as the Idirans well understood, the behavouristic copying of another which revolted. Individuality, the thing which most humans held more precious than anything else about themselves, was somehow cheapened by the ease with which a Changer could ignore it as a limitation and use it as a disguise. Iain Banks
Marvin J. Ashton quote: "Each of us has the challenge to know the Father and to become..."
Each of us has the challenge to know the Father and to become one with Him. Marvin J. Ashton
Alexander Dumas quote: "that Englishman who came to challenge me three or four months..."
that Englishman who came to challenge me three or four months ago, and whom I killed to stop him bothering me Alexander Dumas
Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you... Bode Miller
America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love. Barack Obama
In half a century of challenge and learning and trial-and-error, each of us had struggled from hard times to a present lovely beyond our dreams. Richard Bach
This has been my greatest challenge: because the current reality now seems so unreal, it's hard to make nonfiction seem believable. But you, my friend [Michael Moore], are able to do that. Kurt Vonnegut
What we have witnessed in our own time is the death of universities as centres of critique. Since Margaret Thatcher, the role of academia has been to service the status quo, not challenge it in the name of justice, tradition, imagination, human welfare, the free play of the mind or alternative visions of the future. We will not change this simply by increasing state funding of the humanities as opposed to slashing it to nothing. We will change it by insisting that a critical reflection on... Terry Eagleton
Whatever our individual troubles and challenges may be, it's important to pause every now and then to appreciate all that we have, on every level. Shakti Gawain
An individual deficient in the sense of humor represents more of a challenge to our idea of the human than a person of subnormal intelligence Christopher Hitchens
George R. R. Martin quote: "And the mystery knight should defeat all challengers and name..."
And the mystery knight should defeat all challengers and name the wolf maid the queen of love and beauty. George R. R. Martin
The challenge I set before anyone who condemns private-sector business is this: If you are a socially conscious person, why don't you run your business in a way that will help achieve social objectives? Muhammad Yunus
There are those who believe destiny rests at the feet of the gods, but the truth is that it confronts the conscious of man with a burning challenge. Eduardo Galeano
This world . . . belongs to the strong, my friend! The ritual of our existence is based on the strong getting stronger by devouring the weak. We must face up to this. No more than right that it should be this way. We must learn to accept it as a law of the natural world. The rabbits accept their role in the ritual and recognize the wolf is the strong. In defense, the rabbit becomes sly and frightened and elusive and he digs holes and hides when the wolf is about. And he endures, he... Ken Kesey
Some mothers in today's world feel "cumbered" by home duties and are thus attracted by other more "romantic" challenges. Such women could make the same error of perspective that Martha made. The woman, for instance, who deserts the cradle in order to help defend civilization against the barbarians may well later meet, among the barbarians, her own neglected child. Neal A. Maxwell
