Impossibility Quotes (page 48)

For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work. James C. Collins
Chaos can be one means of arriving at a definable possibility, but if we look back at the works of Blake's youth chaos must be understood as something impossible, as a poetic violence and not as a calculated order. The chaos of the mind cannot constitute a reply to the providence of the universe. All it can be is an awakening in the night, where all that can be heard is anguished poetry let loose. Georges Bataille
Mario Vargas Llosa quote: "It is rare and almost impossible for a novel to have only one..."
It is rare and almost impossible for a novel to have only one narrator. Mario Vargas Llosa
How could people, I wondered for the ten thousandth useless time, how could people who had loved so dearly come to such a wilderness; and yet the change in us was irreversible, and neither of us would even search for a way back. It was impossible. The fire was out. Only a few live coals lurked in the ashes, searing unexpectedly at the incautious touch. Dick Francis
Nicholas Sparks quote: "There are moments when mental overload can render words..."
There are moments when mental overload can render words impossible. Nicholas Sparks
Many older physicians had gone to their graves calling Pasteur a liar, a fool, or worse---and without examining evidence which their “common sense” told them was impossible. Robert A. Heinlein
Orson Scott Card quote: "Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming..."
Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be. Orson Scott Card
Loss leaves us empty- but learn not to close your heart and mind to grief. Allow life to replinish you. When sorrow comes it seems impossible- but new Pam Brown
For anyone of a rational disposition, fashion is often nearly impossible to fathom. Throughout many periods of history? perhaps most? it can seem as if the whole impulse of fashion has been to look maximally ridiculous. If one could be maximally uncomfortable as well, the triumph was all the greater. Bill Bryson
Ray Bradbury quote: "Science fiction is the art of the possible not the impossible."
Science fiction is the art of the possible not the impossible. Ray Bradbury
Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently. Some people say there are true things to be found, some people say all kinds of things can be proved. I don't believe them. The only thing for certain is how complicated it all is, like string full of knots. It's all there but hard to find the beginning and impossible to fathom the end. The best you can do is admire the cat's cradle, and maybe knot it up a bit more. Jeanette Winterson
And fairly enough she thought, for that was the way of the world. A road was to be driven upon. The candy dish was there to be eaten, money in the bank got spent, people claimed whatever they could get their hands on. Wasn't that more or less automatic? For a human being to do any less seemed impossible. Barbara Kingsolver
Murakami: Since I'm a novelist I'm the opposite of you - T believe that what's most important is what cannot be measured. I'm not denying your way of thinking, but the greater part of people's lives consist of things that are unmeasurable, and trying to change all these to something measurable is realistically impossible. Haruki Murakami
Nothing can temper the spirit of a warrior as much as the challenge of dealing with impossible people in positions of power. Only under those conditions can warriors acquire the sobriety and serenity to withstand the pressure of the unknowable. Carlos Castaneda
It was impossible to tell at first sight whether he loved his meek, obedient wife, Marfa. But he really did lover her, and she knew it. Fyodor Dostoevsky
