Current Quotes (page 15)

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices. Bill Watterson
Indeed, a climate of fear is not one that encourages reflection. However, it is my belief that, instead of using that fear as an excuse, we should recognize it as one of the prime causes of the current situation and try to find a remedy for it. Albert Camus
I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part of God. Ralph Waldo Emerson
P. D. James quote: "Write what you need to write, not what is currently popular or..."
Write what you need to write, not what is currently popular or what you think will sell. P. D. James
It is true that historic Christianity is in conflict at many points with the collectivism of the present day; it does emphasize, against the claims of society, the worth of the individual soul. It provides for the individual a refuge from all the fluctuating currents of human opinion, a secret place of meditation where a man can come alone into the presence of God. It does give a man courage to stand, if need be, against the world; it resolutely refuses to make of the individual a mere means... John Gresham Machen
There is a noticeable element of the pathological in some current leftist critiques, which I tend to attribute to feelings of guilt allied to feelings of impotence. Not an attractive combination, because it results in self-hatred. Christopher Hitchens
Stephen Covey quote: "The reflection of the current social paradigm tells us we are..."
The reflection of the current social paradigm tells us we are largely determined by conditioning and conditions. Stephen Covey
In the face of our common dangers, in this wintr of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Barack Obama
I am currently reading, "The Broker" by John Grisham. it is alittle slow to start so I will have to let you know if it gets better John Grisham
A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. C. S. Lewis
Cosmetic surgery is not "cosmetic," and human flesh is not "plastic." Even the names trivialize what it is. It's not like ironing wrinkles in fabric, or tuning up a car, or altering outmoded clothes, the current metaphors. Trivialization and infantilization pervade the surgeons' language when they speak to women: "a nip," a "tummy tuck."...Surgery changes one forever, the mind as well as the body. If we don't start to speak of it as serious, the millennium of the man-made woman will be upon... Naomi Wolf
Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away...whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism...or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay...The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so. Ron Paul
Tim Murphy quote: "The current medical records system is this: Room after room..."
The current medical records system is this: Room after room after room in a hospital filled with paper files. Tim Murphy
And currently, there are four to five new works in the pipeline for upcoming celebrations such as the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Australian Federation, my 50th Birthday, and Sydney Dance Company's 25th Anniversary. Graeme Murphy
Gerry Mulligan quote: "When we've finished the current tour I'm going to go back to..."
When we've finished the current tour I'm going to go back to Italy and see if I can do some more writing. Gerry Mulligan
