Mattered Quotes (page 131)

Once that is clearly understood, I think that each of us can stay quietly in the state in which nature has placed him. since the middle station allotted to us is always far from the extremes, what does it matter if someone else has a slightly better understanding of things? If he has, and if he takes them a little further, is he not still infinitely remote from the goal? Is not our span of life equally infinitesimal in eternity, even if it is extended by ten years?

Robert Hass quote: "Golf is a worrier's game, inward, concentrated, a matter of..."

In the end idealism annoyed Bouvard. ‘I don’t want any more of it: the famous cogito is a bore. The ideas of things are taken for the things themselves. What we barely understand is explained by means of words that we do not understand at all! Substance, extension, force, matter and soul, are all so many abstractions, figments of the imagination. As for God, it is impossible to know how he is, or even if he is! Once he was the cause of wind, thunder, revolutions. Now he is getting smaller.... Gustave Flaubert
Lewis Carroll quote: "If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn't matter..."

I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. Roger Ebert
If you write, good ideas must come welling up into you so that you have something to write. If good ideas do not come at once, or for a long time, do not be troubled at all. Wait for them. Put down little ideas no matter how insignificant they are. But do not feel, any more, guilty about idleness and solitude. Brenda Ueland
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no..."
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place."(Young India, August 4, 1920) Mahatma Gandhi
There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go. I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care passionately about something, is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size. Charlie Kaufman
And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home. Wendell Berry
Stephenie Meyer quote: "I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that..."
I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become. Stephenie Meyer

Agatha Christie quote: "I think human beings matter more than stones. (Signor Richetti)"
I think human beings matter more than stones. (Signor Richetti) Agatha Christie
The root of the matter is a very simple and old fashioned thing... love or compassion. If you feel this, you have a motive for existence, a guide for action, a reason for courage, an imperative necessity for intellectual honesty. Bertrand Russell
Jodi Picoult quote: "Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never..."
