In this world in which we live, there is a tendency for us to describe needed change, required help, and desired relief with the familiar phrase, ‘They ought to do something about this.’ We fail to define the word they. I love the message, ‘Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. Thomas S. Monson
I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him. Bret Easton Ellis
Jean-Paul Sartre quote: "your judgement judges you and defines you"
your judgement judges you and defines you Jean-Paul Sartre

The world can be made beautiful again by viewing it as a battlefield. When we have defined and isolated the evil things, the colors come back into everything else. When evil things have become evil, good things, in a blazing apocalypse, become good. There are some men who are dreary because they do not believe in God; but there are many others who are dreary because they do not believe in the devil. Gilbert K. Chesterton

If I spoke to Rodman in those terms, saying that my grandparents' lives seem to me organic and ours what? hydroponic? he would ask in derision what I meant. Define my terms. How do you measure the organic residue of a man or a generation? This is all metaphor. If you can't measure it, it doesn't exist. Wallace Stegner
This has nothing to do with realism (even if it explains also realism). A completely real world can be constructed, in which asses fly and princesses are restored to life by a kiss, but that world, purely possible and unrealistic, must exist according to structures defined at the outset (we have to know whether it is a world where a princess can be restored to life only by the kiss of a prince, or also by that of a witch, and whether the princess's kiss tranforms only frogs into princes or... Umberto Eco
What defines us as Christians is not most profoundly that we have come to know him but that he took note of us and made us his own. John Piper
There is almost no country in Africa where it is not essential to know to which tribe, or which subgroup of which tribe, the president belongs. From this single piece of information you can trace the lines of patronage and allegiance that define the state. Christopher Hitchens
