Complication Quotes (page 15)

To be a good writer, you not only have to write a great deal but you have to care. You do not have to have a complicated moral philosophy. But a writer always tries, I think, to be a part of a solution, to understand a little about life and to pass this on. Anne Lamott
Philip Pullman quote: "People are too complicated to have simple labels."
People are too complicated to have simple labels. Philip Pullman
Woody Guthrie quote: "Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to..."
Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple. Woody Guthrie
Modern civilisation is complicated and artificial. Simple folk live in a world of love and peace. Let no one hate another or harm another. Sivananda
When feeling came back, in a storm of color and force and sensation, the most you could do was hold on to the person beside you and hope you could weather it. Alex closed her eyes and expected the worst-but it wasn't a bad thing; it was just a different thing. A messier one, more complicated one.

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is. John von Neumann

...give me the Tube and Cubismus every time; give me ideas, so snug and neat and simple and well made.

Aldous Huxley
They all attended Hester's church, which Dellarobia viewed as a complicated pyramid scheme of moral debt and credit resting ultimately on the shoulders of the Lord, but rife with middle managers. Barbara Kingsolver
She may have looked normal on the outside, but once you'd seen her handwriting you knew she was deliciously complicated inside. Jeffrey Eugenides
Why did things have to be so complicated with human beings?...Yet if we were not what we were, creatures with at least the awareness of purpose and honor, what would we be? Empty knights in armor, seeming so strong on the outside, yet hollow inside? Piers Anthony
And love is always complicated. But still humans most try to love each other, darling. We must get out hearts broken sometimes. This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something. Elizabeth Gilbert
Ye ken, we've been robbin' and running aroound on all kinds o' worlds for a lang time, and I'll tell ye this: The universe is a lot more comp-li-cated than it looks from the ooutside. Terry Prachett
I don’t understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn’t it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world? Emile M. Cioran
Siobhan also says that if you close your mouth and breathe out loudly through your nose it can mean that you are relaxed, or that you are bored, or that you are angry and it all depends on how much air comes out of your nose and how fast and what shape your mouth is when you do it and how you are sitting and what you just said before and hundreds of other things which are too complicated to work out in a few seconds. Mark Haddon
