Jodi Picoult quote: "When you care more if someone else lives than you do about..."
When you care more if someone else lives than you do about yourself- is that what [love is]? Jodi Picoult
I am only trying to call attention to a fact; the fact that this year, of this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practice ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people. C. S. Lewis
Nothing is easier than to admit in words the truth of the universal struggle for life, or more difficult - at least I have found it so - than constantly to bear this conclusion in mind...We behold the face of nature bright with gladness...We do not see, or we forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly live on insects and seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life. Charles Darwin
Marcel Proust quote: "Reality is never more than a first step towards an unknown on..."
Reality is never more than a first step towards an unknown on the road to which one can never progress very far. Marcel Proust
One more time? For the audience?" he says. His voice isn't angry. It's hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me. I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go. Suzanne Collins
His ear heard more than what was said to him, and his slow speech had overtones not of thought, but of understanding beyond thought. John Steinbeck
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction of being loved for yourself or more correctly being loved in spite of yourself. Victor Hugo
Knowing is not simply a material act, since the object that is known always conceals something beyond the empirical datum. All our knowledge, even the most simple, is always a minor miracle, since it can never be fully explained by the material instruments that we apply to it. In every truth there is something more than we would have expected, in the love that we receive there is always an element that surprises us. Joseph Ratzinger
We are constantly being astonished these days at the amazing discoveries in the field of violence. But I maintain that far more undreamt of and seemingly impossible discoveries will be made in the field of nonviolence. Mahatma Gandhi
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, the knowledge, the absolute truth of the day, but remain always uncertain? In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar. Richard P. Feynman
O my vanity I am an arrogant man, is this weakness, is it just a dream of power? Must I betray myself for a seat on the council? Is this sensible and wise or is it hollow and self-loving? I don’t even know if the Grandee is sincere. Does he know? Perhaps not even he. I am weak and he’s strong, the offer gives him many ways of ruining me. But I, too, have much to gain. The souls of the city, of the world, surely they are worth three angels? Is Allah so unbending that he will not embrace three... Salman Rushdie
It's just that none of us had the wit or talent to make them into songs. We made them into life, which much messier, and more time consuming, and leaves nothing for anybody to whistle. Nick Hornby
Anthony Trollope quote: "What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and..."
What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil? Anthony Trollope
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Dorcas, you already reek like a Marseilles cat house; don't..."
Dorcas, you already reek like a Marseilles cat house; don't wheedle Mike for more stinkum. Robert A. Heinlein
Nancy Mitford quote: "Life itself, she thought, as she went upstairs to dress for..."
Life itself, she thought, as she went upstairs to dress for dinner, was stranger than dreams and far, far more disordered. Nancy Mitford
