Increasingly Quotes (page 27)

Nothing can be given or taken away; nothing has been added or subtracted; nothing increased or diminished. We stand on the same shore before the same mighty ocean. The ocean of love. There it is - in perpetuum. As much in a broken blossom, the sound of a waterfall, the swoop of a carrion bird as in the thunderous artillery of the prophet. We move with eyes shut and ears stopped; we smash walls where doors are waiting to open to the touch; we grope for ladders, forgetting that we have... Henry Miller
Charles Morgan quote: "As knowledge increases, wonder deepens. (Thanks Joe P. for..."
As knowledge increases, wonder deepens. (Thanks Joe P. for the quote) Charles Morgan
Christian community is like the Christian's sanctification. It is a gift of God which we cannot claim. Only God knows the real state of our fellowship, of our sanctification. What may appear weak and trifling to us may be great and glorious to God. Just as the Christian should not be constantly feeling his spiritual pulse, so, too, the Christian community has not been given to us by God for us to be constantly taking its temperature. The more thankfully we daily receive what is given to us,... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
John Keats quote: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases;..."
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; It will never. Pass into nothingness. John Keats
the condition of leadership adds new degrees of solitariness to the basic solitude of mankind. Every order that we issue increases the extent to which we are alone, and every show of deference which is extended to us separates us from our fellows. Thornton Wilder
The true division of humanity is this: the luminous and the dark...To diminish the number of the dark, to increase the number of the luminous, there is the aim. Victor Hugo
The truth is that Dr. Juvenal Urbino's suit had never been undertaken in the name of love, and it was curious, to say the least, that a militant Catholic like him would offer her only worldly goods: security, order, happiness, contiguous numbers that, once they were added together, might resemble love, almost be love. But they were not love, and these doubts increased her confusion, because she was also not convinced that love was really what she most needed to live. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I find economics increasingly satisfactory, and I think I am rather good at it. I want to manage a railroad or organise a Trust or at least swindle the investing public John Maynard Keynes
Margaret Atwood quote: "Within each of these categories, the principle was the same:..."
Within each of these categories, the principle was the same: rarity and beauty increased value. Margaret Atwood
So pleas'd at first the tow'ring Alps we try, Mount o'er the vales, and seem to tread the sky; Th'eternal snows appear already past, And the first clouds and mountains seem the last: But those attain'd, we tremble to survey. The growing labours of the lengthen'd way; Th'increasing prospect tires our wand'ring eyes, Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise! Alexander Pope
You know how it's going to end, but instead of spoiling things, that somehow increases your fascination. It's like watching a kid run his electric train faster and faster and waiting for it to derail on one of the curves. Stephen King
John Ashbery quote: "In the increasingly convincing darkness. The words become..."
In the increasingly convincing darkness. The words become palpable, like a fruit. That is too beautiful to eat. John Ashbery
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within. Immanuel Kant
As long as one egg looks pretty much like another, all the chickens like chicken, and beef beef, the substitution of quantity for quality will go unnoticed by most consumers, but it is becoming increasingly apparent to anyone with an electron microscope or a mass spectrometer that, truly, this is not the same food. Michael Pollan
As we draw on the grace of God He increases voluntary poverty all along the line. Always give the best you have got every time; never think about who you are giving it to; let other people take it or leave it as they choose. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never reserve anything; never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. Oswald Chambers
