Only Quotes (page 637)

Let's face it. We're undone by each other. And if we're not, we're missing something. If this seems so clearly the case with grief, it is only because it was already the case with desire. One does not always stay intact. Judith Butler
Caroline B. Cooney quote: "Breakfast was only worth having when somebody else made it for..."
Breakfast was only worth having when somebody else made it for you. Caroline B. Cooney
One cannot escape dogmas—those who hold most firmly to dogmas today are those whose only dogma is that dogmas should be feared like the plague. Sigrid Undset
Vincent Van Gogh quote: "A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm..."
A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke Vincent Van Gogh
i am with the rootsof flowersentwined, entombedsending up my passionate blossomsas a flight of rocketsand argument; wine churls my throat, above mefeet walk upon my brain, monkies fall from the skyclutching photographs of the planets, but i seek only musicand the leisureof my pain Charles Bukowski
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levin said it right. He said, “Love is the only rational act. Mitch Albom
Freedom is only to be found where there is burden to be shouldered. In creative achievements this burden always represents an imperative and a need that weighs heavily upon man’s mood, so that he comes to be in a mood of melancholy. All creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, whether we are clearly aware of the fact or not, whether we speak at length about it or not. All creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, but this is not to say that everyone in a melancholy mood is... Martin Heidegger
The stark, pedestrian images used by filmmakers (probably out of financial necessity) expressed nothing, symbolically or metaphorically. The only purpose they served was to remind me that a huge chunk of my life is completely over, even though I will probably live 60 more years. There are so many things that will never happen to me again, and I never even noticed when those things stopped occurring. And this does not mean I wish I had my old life back, because I like my new life better; I was... Chuck Klosterman
I don't believe you know anything about a man like me or a country like this. It takes rough men, Miss Fair, to tame a rough country; rough men, but good men. Your father is in that class. As for you, I don't think you'd measure up, and you'll do well to leave it. You're a hothouse flower, very soft, very appealing and very useless...In the world you are going to, men want pretty useless women. They want toys for their lighte moments, and we have those women out here, too, only we have... Louis L'Amour
Helen Keller quote: "The only lightless dark is the night of ingnorance and..."
The only lightless dark is the night of ingnorance and insensibility. Helen Keller
It is neither easy nor agreeable to dredge this abyss of viciousness, and yet I think it must be done, because what could be perpetrated yesterday could be attempted again tomorrow, could overwhelm us and our children. One is tempted to turn away with a grimace and close one's mind: this is a temptation one must resist. In fact, the existence of the death squads had a meaning, a message: 'We, the master race, are your destroyers, but you are no better than we are; if we so wish, and we do so... Primo Levi
Margaret Atwood quote: "Myths can't be translated as they did in their ancient soil...."
Myths can't be translated as they did in their ancient soil. We can only find our own meaning in our own time. Margaret Atwood
Evelyn Waugh quote: "[Change is] the only evidence of life."
[Change is] the only evidence of life. Evelyn Waugh
I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the word of God, and to meditation on it. . . . What is the food of the inner man? Not prayer, but the word of God; and . . . not the simple reading of the word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering over it, and applying it to our hearts. George Muller
The kind of people we are is more important than what we can do to improve the world; indeed being the kind of people we should and can be is the best, and sometimes the only way to improve the world. C. S. Lewis
