Descendant Quotes (page 7)

Nobody understands the nature of the Church, or the ringing note of the creed descending from antiquity, who does not realize that the whole world once very nearly died of broadmindedness and the brotherhood of all religions. Gilbert K. Chesterton
As I descended the stairs, the years between us seemed accumulated everywhere, filling the house, and it seemed strange to me, how love and habit blurred so thoroughly to make a life. Sue Monk Kidd
Being or nothing, that is the question. Ascending, descending, coming, going, a man does so much that in the end he disappears. Raymond Queneau
Alice Walker quote: "When life descends into the pit. I must become my own candle...."
When life descends into the pit. I must become my own candle. Willingly burning my self. To light up the darkness around me. Alice Walker
I began to see why woman-haters could make such fools of women. Woman-haters were like gods: invulnerable and chock full of power. They descended, and then they disappeared. You could never catch one. Sylvia Plath
And of the sixth day yet remained. There wanted yet the master work, the end. Of all yet done: a creature who not prone And brute as other creatures but endued. With sanctity of reason might erect His stature and, upright with front serene, Govern the rest, self-knowing, and from thence. Magnanimous to correspond with Heaven, But grateful to acknowledge whence his good Descends, thither with heart and voice and eyes. Directed in devotion to adore And worship God supreme who made him chief. Of... John Milton
Aeschylus quote: "In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many..."
In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many memories of pain Aeschylus
The Cosmos extends, for all practical purposes, forever. After a brief and sedentary hiatus we are resuming our ancient nomadic way of life. Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds though through the Solar System and beyond, will be unified by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by knowledge that, whatever other life may be, the only humans in all the Universe come from Earth. Carl Sagan
Nikos Kazantzakis quote: "The truth is that we all are one, that all of us together..."
The truth is that we all are one, that all of us together create god, that god is not man's ancestor, but his descendant. Nikos Kazantzakis
Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once; someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE???? I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure; I did it for the pain. Lance Armstrong
The current generation now sees everything clearly, it marvels at the errors, it laughs at the folly of its ancestors, not seeing that this chronicle is all overscored by divine fire, that every letter of it cries out, that from everywhere the piercing finger is pointed at it, at this current generation; but the current generation laughs and presumptuously, proudly begins a series of new errors, at which their descendants will also laugh afterwards. Nikolai Gogol
We should not forget that it will be just as important to our descendants to be prosperous in their time as it is to us to be prosperous in our time. Theodore Roosevelt
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own..."
He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind, he has descended into the secrets of all minds. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our wise old church...has discovered that if you will act as if you believed belief will be given to you; if you pray with doubt, but pray with sincerity, your doubt will be dispelled; if you will surrender yourself to the beauty of that liturgy the power of which over the human spirit has been proved by the experience of the ages, peace will descend upon you. W. Somerset Maugham
...my soul always reverts to the Old Testament and to Shakespeare. There at least one feels that it's human beings talking. There people hate, people love, people murder their enemy and curse his descendants through all generations, there people sin. Soren Kierkegaard
