Doing Quotes (page 1072)

For the whole earth is the tomb of famous men; not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions in their own country, but in foreign lands there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men. Make them your examples, and, esteeming courage to be freedom and freedom to be happiness, do not weigh too nicely the perils of war."[Funeral Oration of Pericles] Thucydides

William Golding quote: "I do think that art that doesn't communicate is useless."
I do think that art that doesn't communicate is useless. William Golding
If our lives are truly "hid with Christ in God," the astounding thing is that this hiddenness is revealed in all that we do and say and write. What we are is going to be visible in our art, no matter how secular (on the surface) the subject may be. Madeleine L'Engle

Art has nothing to do with taste. Art is not there to be tasted Max Ernst
There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas. Steve Jobs
How should an artist begin to do his work as an artist? I would insist that he begin his work as an artist by setting out to make a work of art. Francis Schaeffer
Gore Vidal quote: "The public is always relieved to find that once the chief..."
The public is always relieved to find that once the chief officers of state are elected they do not sincerely want change. Gore Vidal
Those of us who follow politics seriously rather than view it as a game show do not look at Hillary Clinton and simply think 'first woman president.' We think—for example—'first ex-co-president' or 'first wife of a disbarred lawyer and impeached former incumbent' or 'first person to use her daughter as photo-op protection during her husband's perjury rap. Christopher Hitchens
Let no one misunderstand our idea; we do not confound what are called 'political opinions' with that grand aspiration after progress with that sublime patriotic, democratic, and human faith, which, in our days, should be the very foundation of all generous intelligence. Victor Hugo
The King! I thought him enough of a philosopher to realize that there is no such thing as murder in politics. You know as well as I do, my dear boy, that in politics there are no people, only ideas; no feelings, only interests. In politics, you don't kill a man, you remove an obstacle, that's all. Alexander Dumas
Hagrid looked down at his umbrella and scratched his beard. 'Shouldn'ta lost me temper,' he said ruefully, 'but it didn't work anyway. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much left ter do. J. K. Rowling
Jane Austen quote: "she had nothing to do but to forgive herself and be happier..."

How aware are we of our own inner life, our spirituality-something so intangible yet so priceless? How much effort do we make to perceive that which is not obvious, which can neither be seen nor heard? I believe the exploration and enrichment of the human spirit is what determines our very humanity. Such enrichment provides an inner compass that can lead civilizations to greatness. Daisaku Ikeda
John Keats quote: "Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little..."
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know. John Keats
