Matters Quotes (page 127)

Some people point to me as the cause of all society's problems, others as if I am the benefactor, responsible for everything good, but I am neither the former nor the latter. I am but a man in particular circumstances, and the most beautiful part is that an individual human life is capable of contributing to the growth, the awakening of the collective strength. That is what matters! Hugo Chavez
Azar Nafisi quote: "With fear come the lies and the justifications that, no matter..."
With fear come the lies and the justifications that, no matter how convincing, lower our self-esteem. Azar Nafisi
Of course there are robots among us. There are also Magicians among us. I think we take turns playing each role, as a matter of fact. The Magician defines a reality-mesh and the robot lives in it. Grok? Robert Anton Wilson
William Feather quote: "Success is largely a matter of hanging on after others have..."
Success is largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. William Feather
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "It's something everybody wants-for someone to see the hurt..."
It's something everybody wants-for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters. Sue Monk Kidd
It occured to her that pleasure, no matter how deep, was a ghostly, ephemeral thing. Love might make the world go round, but she was convinced it ws the cries of the badly wounded andf deeply afflicted which spun the universe on the great glass pole of it's axis. Stephen King
In my case, I think my exile saved my life, for it inexorably confirmed something which Americans appear to have great difficulty accepting. Which is, simply, this: a man is not a man until he is able and willing to accept his own vision of the world, no matter how radically this vision departs from others. James Baldwin
Leon Uris quote: "To be homeward bound, no matter what tragic memories you have..."
To be homeward bound, no matter what tragic memories you have harbored, is unlike any voyage a man can ever make. Leon Uris
To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do. Herman Hesse
Hugh Prather quote: "No matter what we talk about, we are talking about ourselves"
No matter what we talk about, we are talking about ourselves Hugh Prather
J. K. Rowling quote: "We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is..."
We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are. J. K. Rowling
How many times have I wondered if it is really possible to forge links with a mass of people when one has never had strong feelings for anyone, not even one's own parents: if it is possible to have a collectivity when one has not been deeply loved oneself by individual human creatures. Hasn't this had some effect on my life as a militant--has it not tended to make me sterile and reduce my quality as a revolutionary by making everything a matter of pure intellect, of pure mathematical... Antonio Gramsci
Roger Ebert quote: "No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to..."
No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to get out. Roger Ebert
If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion. David Hume
I also think there are prices too high to pay to save the United States. Conscription is one of them. Conscription is slavery, and I don't think that any people or nation has a right to save itself at the price of slavery for anyone, no matter what name it is called. We have had the draft for twenty years now; I think this is shameful. If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say: Let the damned thing go down the drain! Robert A. Heinlein
