Consider Quotes (page 49)

If we are in a general way permitted to regard human activity in the realm of the beautiful as a liberation of the soul, as a release from constraint and restriction, in short to consider that art does actually alleviate the most overpowering and tragic catastrophes by means of the creations it offers to our contemplation and enjoyment, it is the art of music which conducts us to the final summit of that ascent to freedom. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The distemper of which, as a community, we are sick, should be considered rather as a moral than a political malady. William Wilberforce
He took in the squeaky music, the vulgar and pining melodies, because passion immobilizes good taste and seriously considers what soberly would be thought of as funny and to be resented. Thomas Mann
To consider this desirable would be to delight in the slaughter of men; and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot get his will in the kingdom. Lao Tzu
The city?" Tyrion was lost. "What city would that be?"King's Landing. I am sending you to court." It was the last thing Tyrion Lannister would ever have anticipated. He reached for his wine, considered for a moment as he sipped. "And what am I to do there?"Rule," his father said curtly. George R. R. Martin
These words were spoken by Him to whom, according to His own statement, is given all power in heaven and on earth. You who hear me must consider within yourselves whether you will bow before his authority or not, accept and believe the words or not. But if you do not wish to do so, then for heaven's sake do not go and accept the words because they are clever or profound or wonderfully beautiful, for that is a mockery of God. Soren Kierkegaard
Someday being with Dex will be a distant memory. This fact makes me sad too. Its the initial stages of grief that seem to be worst but in some ways, Its sadder as time goes by and you consider how much they're missed in your life. Emily Giffin
When I consider the brief span of my life absorbed into the eternity which precedes and will succeed it—memoria hospitis unius diei praetereuntis (remembrance of a guest who tarried but a day)—the small space I occupy and which I see swallowed up in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I know nothing and which know nothing of me, I take fright and am amazed to see myself here rather than there: there is no reason for me to be here rather than there, now rather than then. Who put me here?... Blaise Pascal
More climbers die during the descent than on the way up.” Karakaredes seems to be considering this. After a minute he says, “Yes, but here on the summit, there must be some ritual . . .” “Hero photos,” gasps Paul. “Gotta . . . have . . . hero photos.” Our alien nods. “Did . . . anyone . . . bring an imaging device? A camera? I did not. Dan Simmons
There are men whose sense of humour is so ill developed that they still bear a grudge against Copernicus because he dethroned them from the central position in the universe. They feel it a personal affront that they can no longer consider themselves the pivot upon which turns the whole of created things. W. Somerset Maugham
It's like when someone dies, the initial stages of grief seem to be the worst. But in some ways, it's sadder as time goes by and you consider how much they've missed in your life. In the world. Emily Giffin
The historic atmosphere was there, certainly; but the historic atmosphere, scientifically considered, was no better than a villainous miasma Henry James
I say people who feel they must have a faith or religion in order to face life are showing a kind of cowardice, which in any other sphere would be considered contemptible. But when it is in the religious sphere it is thought admirable, and I cannot admire cowardice whatever sphere it is in. Bertrand Russell
We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart. Walter Scott
The sure mark of an unliterary man is that he considers "I've read it already" to be a conclusive argument against reading a work... Those read great works, on the other hand will read the same work ten, twenty or thirty times during the course of there life. C. S. Lewis
