Marvelously Quotes (page 9)

All great discoveries...are products as much of doubt as of certainty, and the two in opposition clear the air for marvelous accidents. Mark Helprin
The tribe is whatever we believe it is. If we say the tribe is all the Little Ones in the forest, and all the trees, then that is what the tribe is. Even though some of the oldest trees here came from warriors of two different tribes, fallen in battle. We become one tribe because we say we're one tribe."Ender marveled at his mind, this small raman [member of another sentient species].

That is an emotion in which tenderness is an essential part, but Strickland had no tenderness either for himself or for others; there is in love a sense of weakness, a desire to protect, an eagerness to do good and to give pleasure--if not unselfishness, at all events a selfishness which marvellously conceals itself; it has in it a certain diffidence. W. Somerset Maugham
I was inspired by the marvelous example of Giacometti, the great sculptor. He always said that his dream was to do a bust so small that it could enter a matchbook, but so heavy that no one could lift it. That's what a good book should be. Elie Wiesel
The capacity to blunder slightly is the real marvel of DNA. Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music. Lewis Thomas
There is titillating pleasure in looking back at the past and asking oneself, 'What would have happened if...' and substituting one chance occurrence for another, , observing how, from a gray, barren, humdrum moment in one’s life, there grows forth a marvelous rosy even that in reality had failed to flower. A mysterious thing, this branching structure of life: one senses in every past instant a parting of ways, a 'thus' and an 'otherwise', with innumerable dazzling zigzags bifurcating and... Vladimir Nabokov
E. M. Forster quote: "Boys are marvellous creatures. Perhaps they will sink below..."
Boys are marvellous creatures. Perhaps they will sink below the brutes; perhaps they will attain to a woman’s tenderness. E. M. Forster
Time to plant tears, says the almanac. The grandmother sings to the marvelous stoveand the child draws another inscrutable house. Elizabeth Bishop
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Evermore in the world is this marvelous balance of beauty and..."
Evermore in the world is this marvelous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats. Ralph Waldo Emerson
You will not wonder at his weird pilgrimage,-who who in the swift whifl of living, amid its cold paradox and marvelous vision, have fronted life and aked its riddle face to face. And if you find that riddle hard to read, remember that yonder black boy finds it just a little harder; if it is difficult for you to find and face your duty, it is a shade more difficult for him; if your heart sickens in the blood and dust of battle, remember that to him the dust is thicker and the battle fiercer. W. E. B. Du Bois
There is a marvelous peace in not publishing ... I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure. J. D. Salinger
Gordon B. Hinckley quote: "A marvelous thing it would be to stand with confidence,..."
A marvelous thing it would be to stand with confidence, unafraid, unashamed, and unembarrassed in the presence of God. Gordon B. Hinckley
I have been a lucky man. To feel the intimacy of brothers is a marvelous thing in life. To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. But to feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know, from those unknown to us, who are watching over our sleep and solitude, over our dangers and our weaknesses? that is something still greater and more beautiful because it widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things. Pablo Neruda
My heart sings of your longing for me, and my thoughts climb down to marvel at your mercy. I do not fear as you gather up my days. Your name is the sweetness of time, and you carry me close into the night, speaking consolations, drawing down lights from the sky, saying, See how the night has no terrors for one who remembers the name. Leonard Cohen
