Complicity Quotes (page 4)

And no, it wasn't shame I now felt, or guilt, but something rarer in my life and stronger than both: remorse. A feeling which is more complicated, curdled, and primeval. Whose chief characteristic is that nothing can be done about it: too much time has passed, too much damage has been done, for amends to be made. Julian Barnes
And it means that sometimes thing are so complicated that it is impossible to predict what they are going to do next, but they are only obeying really simple rules. Mark Haddon
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "It is not life that's complicated, it's the struggle to guide..."

Oh child, your language is so utterly simple and limited that it has the affect of extreme complication.-Aunt Beast Madeleine L'Engle

Such are the lives of those who haven’t the courage to risk: solutions are generously provided by God, but people always seek complicated explanations, and end up doing nothing. Paulo Coelho
Even if evolution were true, it wouldn't disprove God. God has performed more spectacular feats than evolution. It's not even a daunting challenge to a belief in God. If you want something that complicates a belief in God, try coming to terms with Michael Moore being one of God's special creatures. Ann Coulter
The annals of official philosophy are populated by ‘bureaucrats of pure reason’ who speak in ‘the shadow of the despot’ and are in historical complicity with the State. They invent ‘a properly spiritual…absolute State that… effectively functions in the mind.’ Theirs is a discourse of sovereign judgment, of stable subjectivity legislated by ‘good’ sense, of rocklike identity, ‘universal’ truth, and (white male) justice. ‘Thus the exercise of their thought is in conformity with the aims of the...

He has constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built. The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being. He is owned by his creations, and has lost ownership of himself. Erich Fromm

Itwas all so complicated, like something out of an existentialplay. Everything hit a dead end there, no alternatives left. Haruki Murakami
