Nothing Quotes (page 204)

There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private. We must reasonably now all regard the fact that there are no secrets and nothing is private. Everything is public. Philip K. Dick
Now you feel how nothing clings to you; your vast shell reaches into endless space, and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow. Illuminated in your infinite peace, a billion stars go spinning through the night, blazinghigh above your head. But IN you is the presence that will be, when all the stars are dead. Rainer Maria Rilke
When I have something to say that I think will be too difficult for adults, I write it in a book for children. Children are excited by new ideas; they have not yet closed the doors and windows of their imaginations. Provided the story is good... nothing is too difficult for children. Madeleine L'Engle
How infinitely good that Providence is which has provided, in its government of mankind, such narrow bounds to his sight and knowledge of things; and though he walks in the midst of so many thousand dangers, the sight of which, if discovered to him, would distract his mind and sink his spirits, he is kept serene and calm by having the events of things hid from his eyes, and knowing nothing of the dangers which surround him! Daniel Defoe
If I should sell my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I am sure that for me there would be nothing left worth living for. Henry David Thoreau
Most people would have found it grotesque, but when you're in love nothing is so abstract or horrible that it can't be thought of as cute. David Sedaris
Romain Rolland quote: "To understand everything is to hate nothing."
To understand everything is to hate nothing. Romain Rolland
To set out for rehearsals in that quivering quarter-hour is to engage conclusions, not beginnings, for one walks past the guilded hallucinations of poverty with a corrupt resignation touched by details, as if the destitute, in their orange-tinted back yards, under their dusty trees, or climbing into their favelas, were all natural scene designers and poverty were not a condition but an art. Deprivation is made lyrical, and twilight, with the patience of alchemy, almost transmutes despair... Derek Walcott
Is war perhaps nothing else but a need to face death, to conquer and master it, to come out of it alive -- a peculiar form of denial of our mortality? Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Over there you think of nothing but becoming President of the United States some day. Potentially every man is Presidential timber. Here it's different. Here every man is potentially a zero. If you become something or somebody it is an accident, a miracle. Henry Miller
July 1936There are betrayals in war that are childlike compared with our human betrayals during peace. The new lover enters the habits of the other. Things are smashed, revealed in new light. This is done with nervous or tender sentences, although the heart is an organ of fire. A love story is not about those who lose their heart but about those who find that sullen inhabitant who, when it is stumbled upon, means the body can fool no one, can fool nothing - not the wisdom of sleep or the... Michael Ondaatje
And immediately. Rather than words comes the thought of high windows: The sun-comprehending glass, And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows. Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless. Philip Larkin
I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people. Katharine Hepburn
Title: What Can a Thoughtful Man Hope for Mankind on Earth, Given the Experience of the Past Million Years? Only verse: Nothing. Kurt Vonnegut
Robert Bolt quote: "For Wales? Why Richard, it profit a man nothing to give his..."
For Wales? Why Richard, it profit a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. . . but for Wales! Robert Bolt
