Mean Quotes (page 244)

England was alive, throbbing through all her estuaries, crying for joy through the mouths of all her gulls, and the north wind, with contrary motion, blew stronger against her rising seas. What did it mean? For what end are her fair complexities, her changes of soil, her sinuous coast? Does she belong to those who have moulded her and made her feared by other lands, or to those who have added nothing to her power, but have somehow seen her, seen the whole island at once, lying as a jewel in a... E. M. Forster
Knowing hot to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape. Bell Hooks
It’s all a complete farce you understand? We’re born into a losing struggle...I’ve investigated the road up ahead. No one comes out of this a winner. In the meantime I think one must show some contempt and some defiance and the best means of doing that that I know are irony and obscenity. Christopher Hitchens
They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had. And add some extra, just for you. Philip Larkin
It may look impossible, but God can do the impossible. Just because you don’t see anything happening doesn’t mean God is not working Joel Osteen
Albert Camus quote: "Person describes himself throughout life. To know oneself..."
Person describes himself throughout life. To know oneself perfectly means to die. Albert Camus
Forgiveness means that I continually am willing to forgive the other person for not being God? for not fulfilling all my needs. I, too, must ask forgiveness for not being able to fulfill other people's needs.? The interesting thing is that when you can forgive people for not being God, then you can celebrate that they are a reflection of God. Henri Nouwen
Does this mean that my life has been nothing but a process through which I am giving concrete form to the dormant image inside me? And how much responsibility do I bear? ? Haruki Murakami
I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough? I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race. Friedrich Nietzsche
The Great Work is the uniting of opposites. It may mean the uniting of the soul with God, of the microcosm with the macrocosm, of the female with the male, of the ego with the non-ego—or what not. Aleister Crowley
Ordinarily, people are anxious to test their theories in practice, to learn from experience, but those who wield power are so anxious to establish the myth of their own infallibility that they turn back on truth as squarely as they can. Politics mean nothing to me. I don't like people who are indifferent to the truth. Boris Pasternak
For "to love" means to hate oneself and to condemn oneself, according to Christ's saying in John 12:25: "He that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. Martin Luther
The most interesting thing about writing is the way that it obliterates time. Three hours seem like three minutes. Then there is the business of surprise. I never know what is coming next. The phrase that sounds in the head changes when it appears on the page. Then I start probing it with a pen, finding new meanings. Sometimes I burst out laughing at what is happening as I twist and turn sentences. Strange business, all in all. One never gets to the end of it. That’s why I go on, I suppose.... Gore Vidal
Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is what it means to have no loved version of your life but the one you made. Dorothy Allison
the great aim of every human being is to understand the meaning of total love. Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with. Paulo Coelho
