Lacking Quotes (page 20)

Neil Gaiman quote: "I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the..."
I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination. Neil Gaiman
My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitud? Albert Einstein
His own faith, however, was not lacking in virtues since it consisted in acknowledging obscurely that he would be granted much without ever deserving anything. Albert Camus
In the face of the obscene, explicit malice of the jungle, which lacks only dinosaurs as punctuation, I feel like a half-finished, poorly expressed sentence in a cheap novel. Werner Herzog
A free theologian works in communication with other theologians...He waits for them and asks them to wait for him. Our sadly lacking yet indispensable theological co-operation depends directly or indirectly on whether or not we are wiling to wait for one another, perhaps lamenting, yet smiling with tears in our eyes.

He awoke, opened his eye. The room meant very little to him; he was too deeply immersed in the non-being from which he had just come. If he had not the energy to ascertain his position in time and space, he also lacked the desire. ... In utter comfort, utter relaxation he lay absolutely still for a while, and then sank back into on the the light momentary sleeps that occur after a long, profound one. Paul Bowles
Graham Greene quote: "Hate is a lack of imagination."
Hate is a lack of imagination. Graham Greene
H. G. Wells quote: "Hunger and a lack of blood-corpuscles take all the manhood..."
Hunger and a lack of blood-corpuscles take all the manhood from a man. H. G. Wells
the great lack of parity between husbands and wives has always been spawned by the disproportionate degree of self-sacrifice that women are willing to make on behalf of those they love. Elizabeth Gilbert
Humanity cannot lift itself by its own bootstraps; there is no such thing as spontaneous generation; life does not come from crystals; poetry does not come from donkeys; international peace does not come from wars; social justice does not come from selfishness. With all our knowledge of chemistry we cannot make a human life in our laboratories because we lack the unifying, vivifying principal of a soul which comes only from God. Life is not a push from below; it is a gift from above. It is... Fulton J. Sheen
A consequentialist or utilitarian is likely to approach the abortion question in a very different way, by trying to weigh up suffering. Does the embryo suffer? (Presumably not if it is aborted before it has a nervous system; and even if it is old enough to have a nervous system it surely suffers less than, say, an adult cow in a slaughterhouse.) Does the pregnant woman, or her family, suffer if she does not have an abortion? Very possibly so; and, in any case, given that the embryo lacks a... Richard Dawkins
Baruch Spinoza quote: "Nothing in nature is by chance... Something appears to be..."
Nothing in nature is by chance... Something appears to be chance only because of our lack of knowledge. Baruch Spinoza
Margaret Atwood quote: "The tension between her lack of control and her attempt to..."
The tension between her lack of control and her attempt to suppress it is horrible. It's like a fart in church. Margaret Atwood
Joseph Brodsky quote: "...and love, as an act, lacks a verb"
...and love, as an act, lacks a verb Joseph Brodsky
I had no interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand something that I didn’t understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go. Charles Bukowski
