Itself Quotes (page 47)

Louise Erdrich quote: "Old love, middle love, the kind of love that knows itself and..."
Old love, middle love, the kind of love that knows itself and knows that nothing lasts, is a desperate shared wildness. Louise Erdrich
Most of us take for granted that time flies, meaning that it passes too quickly. But in the mindful state, time doesn't really pass at all. There is only a single instant of time that keeps renewing itself over and over with infinite variety. Deepak Chopra
Yes, as Rhett had prophesied, marriage could be a lot of fun. Not only was it fun but she was learning many things. That was odd in itself, because Scarlett had thought life could teach her no more. Now she felt like a child, every day on the brink of a new discovery. Margaret Mitchell
Epicurus quote: "The noble soul occupies itself with wisdom and friendship."
The noble soul occupies itself with wisdom and friendship. Epicurus
Friendship, then, like the other natural loves, is unable to save itself. In reality, because it is spiritual and therefore faces a subtler enemy, it must, even more wholeheartedly than they, invoke the divine protection if it hopes to remain sweet. For consider how narrow its true path is. Is must not become what the people call a "mutual admiration society"; yet if it is not full of mutual admiration, of Appreciative love, it is not Friendship at all. C. S. Lewis
True politics cannot take a single step without first paying homage to morals, and while politics itself is a difficult art, its combination with morals is no art at all; for morals cuts the Gordian knot which politics cannot solve as soon as the two are in conflict. Immanuel Kant
War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular. War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it. War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out. Joseph de Maistre
Do not trouble about those who practice philosophy, whether they are good or bad; but examine the thing itself well and carefully. And if philosophy appears a bad thing to you, turn every man from it, not only your sons; but if it appears to you such as I think it to be, take courage, pursue it, and practice it, as the saying is, 'both you and your house. Socrates
Language can't describe reality. Literature has no stable reference, no real meaning. Each reader's interpretation is equally valid, more important than the author's intention. In fact, nothing in life has meaning. Reality is subjective. Values and truths are subjective. Life itself is a kind of illusion. Blah, blah, blah, let's have another scotch. Dean Koontz
What began the change was the very writing itself. Let no one lightly set about such a work. Memory, once waked, will play the tyrant. C. S. Lewis
Julio Cortazar quote: "The mysterious does not spell itself out in capital letters,..."
The mysterious does not spell itself out in capital letters, as many writers believe, but is always between, an interstice. Julio Cortazar
When you start putting pen to paper, you see a side of your personal truth that doesn't otherwise reveal itself in conversation or thought. Anthony Kiedis
Love must not entreat,' she added, 'or demand. Love must have the strength to become certain within itself. Then it ceases merely to be attracted and begins to attract. Herman Hesse
Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath. L. M. Montgomery
My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and isforever the same. Everything interests me, but nothingholds me. Fernando Pessoa
