Divergent Quotes

Mario Monti quote: "I don't believe we're seeing the beginning of a divergence. We..."
I don't believe we're seeing the beginning of a divergence. We have seen a partial divergence on this case. Mario Monti
My life after childhood has two main stories: the story of the hustler and the story of the rapper, and the two overlap as much as they diverge. I was on the streets for more than half of my life from the time I was thirteen years old. People sometimes say that now I'm so far away from that life - now that I've got businesses and Grammys and magazine covers - that I have no right to rap about it. But how distant is the story of your own life ever going to be? The feelings I had during that... Jay-Z
Jordan Baker instinctively avoided clever, shrewd men, and now I saw that this was because she felt safer on a plane where any divergence from a code would be thought impossible. She was incurably dishonest. She wasn't able to endure being at a disadvantage and, given this unwillingness, I suppose she had begun dealing in subterfuges when she was very young in order to keep that cool, insolent smile turned to the world and yet satisfy the demands of her hard, jaunty body. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Love of music, of sunsets and sea; a liking for the same kind of people; political opinions that are not radically divergent; a similar stance as we look at the stars and think of the marvelous strangeness of the universe - these are what build a marriage. And it is never to be taken for granted. Madeleine L'Engle
We are not dissatisfied with our choices and with what life hasgiven us, but when we meet we both have a curious and not unpleasantimpression that a veil, a breath, a throw of the dice deflected usonto two divergent paths, which were not ours. Primo Levi
We each appear to hold within ourselves a range of divergent views as to our native qualities.. And amid such uncertainty, we typically turn to the wider world to settle the question of our significance.. we seem beholden to affections of others to endure ourselves. Alain de Botton
Music creates order out of chaos; for rythem imposes unianimity upon the divergent, melody imposes contuniuty upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous. Yehudi Menuhin
Natural Selection almost inevitably causes much Extinction of the less improved forms of life and induces what I have called Divergence of Character. Charles Darwin
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn. Joss Whedon
Robert Frost quote: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled..."
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by. Robert Frost
He thought that in the beauty of the world were hid a secret. He thought that the world’s heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world’s pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower. Cormac McCarthy
Robert Frost quote: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -I took the one less..."
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost
where the parties concerned are male and female, [there] is the divergence of view about Unselfishness which we have built up between the sexes. A woman means by Unselfishness chiefly taking trouble for others; a man means not giving trouble to others. C. S. Lewis
Emma Goldman quote: "The strongest bulwark of authority is uniformity; the least..."
The strongest bulwark of authority is uniformity; the least divergence from it is the greatest crime. Emma Goldman
I had diverged, digressed, wandered, and become wild. I didn't embrace the word as my new name because it defined negative aspects of my circumstances or life, but because even in my darkest days—those very days in which I was naming myself—I saw the power of the darkness. Saw that, in fact, I had strayed and that I was a stray and that from the wild places my straying had brought me, I knew things I couldn't have known before. Cheryl Strayed
