Exists Quotes (page 126)

Socrates called himself a midwife of ideas. A great book is often such a midwife, delivering to full existence what has been coiled like an embryo in the dark, silent depths of the brain. Clifton Fadiman
The number of people on whose cooperative efforts your eventual existence depends has risen to approximately 1,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is several thousand times the total number of people who have ever lived. Bill Bryson
Robert Bolt quote: "I am used to hear bad men misuse the name of God, yet God exists."
I am used to hear bad men misuse the name of God, yet God exists. Robert Bolt
Without community, there is no liberation...but community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist. Audre Lorde
All this pitting of sex against sex, of quality against quality; all this claiming of superiority and imputing of inferiority, belong to the private-school stage of human existence where there are 'sides,' and it is necessary for one side to beat another side, and of the utmost importance to walk up to a platform and receive from the hands of the Headmaster himself a highly ornamental pot. Virginia Woolf
Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent. Brian Greene
A certain critic -- for such men, I regret to say, do exist -- made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained 'all the old Wodehouse characters under different names.' He has probably by now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have out-generalled the man this time by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters... P. G. Wodehouse
The government is indeed an institution, but "the market" is nothing more than an option for each individual to chose among numerous existing institutions, or to fashion new arrangements suited to his own situation and taste. Thomas Sowell
A man said to the universe: 'Sir, I exist!' 'However,' replied the universe. 'The fact has not created in me. A sense of obligation. Stephen Crane
But that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to know what people are talking about. I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of... Bill Bryson
The buzzard has nothing to fault himself with. Scruples are alien to the black panther. Piranhas do not doubt the rightness of their actions. The rattlesnake approves of himself without reservations. The self-critical jackal does not exist. The locust, alligator, trichina, horseflylive as they live and are glad of it. The killer whale's heart weighs one hundred kilosbut in other respects it is light. There is nothing more animal-likethan a clear conscienceon the third planet of the Sun. Wislawa Szymborska
We must therefore rediscover, after the natural world, the social world, not as an object or sum of objects, but as a permanent field or dimension of existence. Maurice Merleau-Ponty
C. S. Lewis quote: "The home is the ultimate career. All other careers exist for..."
The home is the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose, and that is to support the ultimate career. C. S. Lewis
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would... Arthur Conan Doyle
Edgar Rice Burroughs quote: "They say that none of us exists, except in the imagination of..."
They say that none of us exists, except in the imagination of his fellows, other than as an intangible, invisible mentality. Edgar Rice Burroughs
