Importance Quotes (page 109)

We have made men proud of most vices, but not of cowardice. Whenever we have almost succeeded in doing so, God permits a war or an earthquake or some other calamity, and at once courage becomes so obviously lovely and important even in human eyes that all our work is undone, and there is still at least one vice of which they feel genuine shame. The danger of inducing cowardice in our patients, therefore, is lest we produce real self-knowledge and self-loathing, with consequent repentance and... C. S. Lewis
Because everybody lies. It's part of living in society. Don't get me wrong-I think it's necessary. The last thing anyone wants is to live in a society where total honesty prevails. Can you imagine the conversations? You're short and fat, one person might say, and the other might answer, I know. But you smell bad. It just wouldn't work. So people lie by omission all the time. People will tell you most of the story...and I've learned that the part they neglect to tell you is often the most... Nicholas Sparks
When I was a kid--10, 11, 12, 13--the thing I wanted most in the world was a best friend. I wanted to be important to people; to have people that understood me. I wanted to just be close to somebody. And back then, a thought would go through my head almost constantly: "There's never gonna be a room someplace where there's a group of people sitting around, having fun, hanging out, where one of them goes, 'You know what would be great? We should call Fiona. Yeah, that would be good.' That'll... Fiona Apple
Timothy Zahn quote: "Governments and entire planets are important, Threepio. But..."
Governments and entire planets are important, Threepio. But when you sift everything down, they're all just made of people. Timothy Zahn
Yet, he thought, if I can die saying, "Life is so beautiful," then nothing else is important. If i can believe in myself that much, nothing else matters. Mario Puzo
The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Haruki Murakami quote: "This may be the most important proposition revealed by..."
This may be the most important proposition revealed by history: 'At the time, no one knew what was coming. Haruki Murakami
We don't always choose the best solution but we carry on regardless, trying to remain upright and decent in order to do honor not to the walls or the doors or the windows but to the empty space inside, the space where we worship and venerate what is dearest and most important to us. Paulo Coelho
I have treated many artists. There are among them many neurotics, so many that one finally comes to believe that one cannot be an artist without being neurotic. Again I found in them that inner conflict which is characteristic of modern man: the conflict between a right intuition (namely, that their vocation has fundamental importance for the destiny of humanity) and a false idea (namely, that art is superfluous luxury). Paul Tournier
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important. Martin Luther King jr.
We shouldn't live as if [other worlds] mattered more than this life in this world, because where we are is always the most important place. Philip Pullman
You're beautiful, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nathaniel Branden quote: "Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important..."
Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves. Nathaniel Branden
Charles Bukowski quote: "I do think that poetry is important though, if you don’t..."
I do think that poetry is important though, if you don’t strive at it, if you don’t fill it full of stars and falseness. Charles Bukowski
About winning and losing: It isn't important, what really counts is how you play the game. About playing the game: PLAY TO WIN! Robert Fulghum
