Intensity Quotes (page 24)

Painful is the stress when one cannot reproduce or convey vividly to others, however hard he tries, what he's experienced so intensely. Haruki Murakami
I was seized by remorse and the sense of guilt, which hurried me away to a hell of intense tortures as no language can describe Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting, and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age. To my own surprise I burst out with hot conviction. Only a few years ago I enjoyed my tranquility; now I am so disturbed by the outer world and by human quality in general that I want to put things right, as though I still owed a debt to life. I must calm down. I am far too frail to indulge in moral fervor. Florida Scott-Maxwell
Mentally, perhaps she was already three parts glass. So intense was her desire to set up a commemorative window to herself that, when it was erected, she believed she must leave behind in it, for ever, a little ghost. And should this be so, then what joy to be pierced each morning with light; her body flooded through and through by the sun, or in the evening to glow with a harvest of dark colours, deepening into untold sadness with the night....What ecstasy! It was the Egyptian sighing for... Ronald Firbank
The more you love, the more you can love--and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just. Robert A. Heinlein
I have but shadowed forth my intense longing to lose myself in the Eternal and become merely a lump of clay in the Potter's divine hands so that my service may become more certain because uninterrupted by the baser self in me. Mahatma Gandhi
We are so constituted that we can gain intense pleasure only from the contrast, and only very little from the condition itself. Sigmund Freud
These studies are the result of my attempt to extract the essence of literature. Literature is either the essential or nothing. I believe that the Evil—an acute form of Evil—which it expresses, has a sovereign value for us. But this concept does not exclude morality: on the contrary, it demands a 'hypermorality.' Literature is communication. Communication requires loyalty. A rigorous morality results from complicity in the knowledge of Evil, which is the basis of intense... Georges Bataille
It's precisely in despair that you find the most intense pleasure, especially if you are already powerfully conscious of the hopelessness of your predicament. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Anne Sexton quote: "We talked death with burned-up intensity, both of us drawn to..."
We talked death with burned-up intensity, both of us drawn to it like moths to an electric light bulb. Sucking on it! Anne Sexton
Marcel Proust quote: "The person with whom we are in love is to be recognised only..."
The person with whom we are in love is to be recognised only by the intensity of the pain that we suffer. Marcel Proust
Perhaps extreme danger strips us of all pretenses, all ambitions, all confusions, focusing us more intensely than we are otherwise ever focused, so that we remember what we otherwise spend most of our lives forgetting: that our nature and purpose is, more than anything else, to love and to make love, to take joy from the beauty of the world, to live with an awareness that the future is not as real a place for any of us as are the present and the past. Dean Koontz
Charles Dickens quote: "a sea to intensely blue to be looked at, and a sky of purple,..."
...a sea to intensely blue to be looked at, and a sky of purple, set with one great flaming jewel of fire... Charles Dickens
When we love something, emotion often drives our actions. This is the gift and the challenge entrepreneurs face every day. The companies we dream of and build from scratch are part of us and intensely personal. They are our families. Our lives. But the entrepreneurial journey is not for everyone. Yes, the highs are high and the rewards can be thrilling. But the lows can break your heart. Entrepreneurs must love what they do to such a degree that doing it is worth sacrifice and, at times,... Howard Schultz
I believe that life should be lived so vividly and so intensely that thoughts of another life, or of a longer life, are not necessary. Marjory Stoneman Douglas
