Otherness Quotes (page 232)

I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept, and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing. I have devoted my creator, the select specimen of all that is worthy of love and admiration among men, to misery; I have pursued him even to that irremediable ruin. There he lies, white and cold in death. You hate me; but your abhorrence cannot equal that with which I regard myself. I look on the hands which executed the... Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
December is the toughest month of the year. Others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, October, August, and February. Mark Twain
All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. Swami Vivekananda
Audre Lorde quote: "I cannot shut you out the way I shut the others out, so maybe..."
I cannot shut you out the way I shut the others out, so maybe I can destroy you. Must destroy you? Audre Lorde
Yet it is the narrative that is the life of the dream while the events themselves are often interchangeable. The events of the waking world on the other hand are forced upon us and the narrative is the unguessed axis along which they must be strung. Cormac McCarthy
In the political jargon of those days, the word "intellectual" was an insult. It indicated someone who did not understand life and was cut off from the people. All the Communists who were hanged at the time by other Communists were awarded such abuse. Unlike those who had their feet solidly on the ground, they were said to float in the air. So it was fair, in a way, that as punishment the ground was permanently pulled out from under their feet, that they remained suspended a little above the... Milan Kundera
Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others. Fred Rogers
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. Woodrow Wilson
Judith Butler quote: "Let's face it. We're undone by each other. And if we're not,..."
Let's face it. We're undone by each other. And if we're not, we're missing something. Judith Butler
When the animals entered the Ark in pairs, one may imagine that allied species made much private remark on each other, and were tempted to think that so many forms feeding on the same store of fodder were eminently superfluous, as tending to diminish the rations....The same sort of temptation befell the Christian Carnivora who formed Peter Featherstone's funeral procession; most of them having their minds bent on a limited store which each would have liked to get the most of. The... George Eliot
Without a revolution of the inner life, however slow, all our big designs are worthless. The work we have to do is with ourselves if we're ever going to be at peace with each other...the good that flows from it will shape our societies in an unprogrammed, unforeseen way, under the control of no single group of people or set of ideas. Ian Mcewan
Disenchantment, like any other fashion, having started off among the elite had now been passed down to finish its days among the lower orders. Mikhail Lermontov
God has given us two hands--one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing. Billy Graham
E. M. Forster quote: "The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and..."
The armour of falsehood is subtly wrought out of darkness, and hides a man not only from others, but from his own soul. E. M. Forster
Never look at other people's bad fortune,' my mother said. 'If you do, it will come back to find you instead of its rightful owner. Alice Hoffman
