Findings Quotes (page 168)

The karmic philosophy appeals to me on a metaphorical level because even in ones lifetime it's obvious how often we must repeat our same mistakes, banging our heads against the same ole addictions and compulsions, generating the same old miserable and often catastrophic consequences, until we can finally stop and fix it. This is the supreme lesson of karma ( and also of western psychology, by the way)- take care of the problem now, or else you'll just have to suffer again later when you... Elizabeth Gilbert
Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year's supply of food…and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year's supply of debt and are food-free. Thomas S. Monson

Thinking like your prey. . . that's where you find their vulnerabilities. Suzanne Collins

Hell is the incapacity to be other than the creature one finds oneself ordinarily behaving as. Aldous Huxley

Generations to come will find it difficult to believe that a man such as Gandhi ever walked the face of this earth Albert Einstein
There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day; we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Eric Hoffer
In a word, God paints in many colors; but he never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white. In a sense our age has realized this fact, and expressed it in our sullen costume. For if it were really true that white was a blank and colorless thing, negative and non-committal, then white would be used instead of black and grey for the funereal dress of this pessimistic period. Which is not the case. Meanwhile I could not find my chalk. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Henry David Thoreau quote: "It's circumstantial evidence, like finding a trout in the milk."
It's circumstantial evidence, like finding a trout in the milk. Henry David Thoreau
We came here for a small, informal meeting. We find you've turned it into a circus. Well, if you're going to have a circus, you've got to have elephants. Robert A. Heinlein
Walt Whitman quote: "I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is..."
I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name.... Walt Whitman
The kiss was innocent--innocent enough--but it was also full of something not unlike what Virginia wants from London, from life; it was full of a love complex and ravenous, ancient, neither this nor that. It will serve as this afternoon's manifestation of the central mystery itself, the elusive brightness that shines from the edges of certain dreams; the brightness which, when we awaken, is already fading from our minds, and which we rise in the hope of finding, perhaps today, this new day in... Michael Cunningham
[A]nother important difference between tourist and traveler is that the former accepts his own civilization without question; not so the traveler, who compares it with the others, and rejects those elements he finds not to his liking. Paul Bowles
Gloria Steinem quote: "Once we give up searching for approval we often find it easier..."
Once we give up searching for approval we often find it easier to earn respect. Gloria Steinem
Freda Adler quote: "1. Knowledge alters what we seek as well as what we find."--"
1. Knowledge alters what we seek as well as what we find."-- Freda Adler
What stops me from taking myself seriously, even though I am essentially a serious person, is that I find myself extremely ridiculous, not in the sense of the small-scale ridiculousness of slap-stick comedy, but rather in the sense of ridiculousness that seems intrinsic to human life and that manifests itself in the simplest actions and the most extraordinary gestures. Gustave Flaubert
