Oneness Quotes (page 1041)

At the last moment, Antoinette came out of her faint and shouted one word to her child. That word, reader, was adieu... Adieu is the French word for farewell. Kate DiCamillo
How did it happen that now he could see everything so clearly. Something had given him leave to live in the present. Not once in his entire life had he come to rest in the quiet center of himself but had forever cast himself from some dark past he could not remember to a future that did not exist. Not once had he been present for his life. So his life had passed like a dream. Is it possible for people to miss their lives the way one can miss a plane? Walker Percy
Why couldn't I accept what was happening without trying to explain it, without bringing up ideas of order and disorder, of freedom, as one sets out geranium pots in a courtyard on the Calle Cochabamba? Maybe on had to fall into the depths of stupidity in order to make the key fit the lock to the latrine or to the Garden of Olives. Julio Cortazar
Walking and talking are two very great pleasures, but it is a mistake to combine them. Our own noise blots out the sounds and silences of the outdoor world; and talking leads almost inevitably to smoking, and then farewell to nature as far as one of our senses is concerned. C. S. Lewis
Life is maybe like deep-sea fishing. We wake up in the morning, we cast our nets into the water, an, if we are lucky, at day's end we will have netted one-- maybe two-- small fish. Occasionally we will net a seahorse or sometimes a shark-- or a life preserver or an iceberg, or a monster. And in our dreams at night we assess our Catch of the Day-- the treasures of this long, slow process of accumulation... Doug Coupland
There is no true life. Your true life is the one you end up with, whatever it may be. You just do the best you can with what you've got. Anne Tyler
His answers were quite often like that. When she spoke of beauty, he spoke of the fatty tissue supporting the epidermis. When she mentioned love, he responded with the statistical curve that indicates the automatic rise and fall in the annual birthrate. When she spoke of the great figures in art, he traced the chain of borrowings that links these figures to one another. Robert Musil
Helene Cixous quote: "We must kill the false woman who is preventing the live one..."
We must kill the false woman who is preventing the live one from breathing. Helene Cixous
Carolus Linnaeus quote: "When all the thoughts are concerning one thing and the person..."
When all the thoughts are concerning one thing and the person loses interest in other things, the melancholy begins. Carolus Linnaeus
John Irving quote: "He was one of those people things came easily to, but he did..."
He was one of those people things came easily to, but he did little to demonstrate that he deserved to be gifted. John Irving
Nothing can be forgotten. Nothing can be lost. The universe itself is one vast memory system. Look back and you will find the beginnings of the world. Jeanette Winterson
Jeanette Winterson quote: "I can hold you up with one hand, but you can balance me on..."
I can hold you up with one hand, but you can balance me on your fingertips. Jeanette Winterson
There are all sorts of books offering advice on how to deal with life-threatening situations, but where's the advice on dealing with embarrassing ones? Ellen DeGeneres
There comes a time when a man finds himself in front of a dark uncrossable abyss, which he himself has spent years digging. He cannot go forward, and has no way back. Words have failed, tears won't help, and who would he call out to? He can't even remember his own name. Then the man sees that on this god's green earth there is but one true suffering: the torment of guilty conscience. Ivo Andric
And then the death will come. The great parting, but the least painful of all the goodbyes we ever knew. For in death, only one shall grieve. And so far we have always, at every parting, grieved together. Ivo Andric
