Oneness Quotes (page 1033)

A little library, growing larger every year, is an honourable part of a man's history. It is a man's duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. Henry Ward Beecher
Books, for me, are a home. Books don't make a home - they are one, in the sense that just as you do with a door, you open a book, and you go inside. Inside there is a different kind of time and space. There is warmth there too - a hearth. I sit down with a book and I am warm. Jeanette Winterson
Last night I thought about all the kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before...It took some man a lifetime maybe to put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life, and then I come along in two minutes and boom! it's all over. Ray Bradbury
Reading a novel, War and Peace for example, is no Catnap. Because a novel is so long, reading one is like being married forever to somebody nobody knows or cares about. Kurt Vonnegut
The Holy Spirit is the most perfect gift of the Father to men, and yet He is the one gift which the Father gives most easily. Thomas Merton
Whoever extolleth him as a God of love, doth not think highly enough of love itself. Did not that God want also to be judge? But the loving one loveth irrespective of reward and requital. Friedrich Nietzsche
We could say that the human race is a great coauthorship in which we are collaborating with God and nature in the making of ourselves and one another. From this there is no escape. We may collaborate either well or poorly or we may refuse to collaborate, but even to refuse to collaborate is to exert an influence and to affect the quality of the product. This is only a way of saying that by ourselves we have no meaning and no dignity; by ourselves we are outside the human definition, outside... Wendell Berry
Man approaches God most nearly when he is in one sense least like God. For what can be more unlike than fullness and need, sovereignty and humility, righteousness and penitence, limitless power and a cry for help? C. S. Lewis
Fate isn’t one straight road…there are forks in it, many different routes to different ends. We have the free will to choose the path. Dean Koontz
Rumi quote: "You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but..."
You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and thatsight becomes this art. Rumi
After a long analysis of Robson’s suicide, we concluded that it could only be considered philosophical in an arithmetical sense of the term: he, being about to cause an increase of one in the human population, had decided it was his ethical duty to keep the planet’s numbers constant. Julian Barnes
James Beard quote: "If I had to narrow my choice of meats down to one for the rest..."
If I had to narrow my choice of meats down to one for the rest of my life, I am quite certain that meat would be pork. James Beard
Francois de La Rochefoucauld quote: "There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand..."
There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand different versions. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "The lucky ones are just born dead."
The lucky ones are just born dead. Chuck Palahniuk
I came here to be for all and with all,and what I do today in my solitudewill be echoed tomorrow by the multitude.What I say now with one heartwill be said tomorrow by thousands of hearts... Khalil Gibran
