Ours Quotes (page 638)

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
There are no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees. Our globe seen by God is a transparent law, not a mass of facts. The law dissolves the fact and holds it fluid. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Andre Maurois quote: "The reading of a fine book is an uninterrupted dialogue in..."
The reading of a fine book is an uninterrupted dialogue in which the book speaks and our soul replies. Andre Maurois

Rumi quote: "There are thousands of wines that can take over our minds...."
There are thousands of wines that can take over our minds. Don't think all ecstasies are the same! Rumi
Another sort of false prayers are our regrets. Discontent is the way of self-reliance: it is infirmity of will. Regret calamities, if you can thereby help the sufferer; if not, attend your own work, and already the evil begins to be repaired. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly. Plotinus
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Courage Merry, courage for our friends!"
Courage Merry, courage for our friends! J. R. R. Tolkien
Lawrence Durrell quote: "What are stars but points in the body of God where we insert..."
What are stars but points in the body of God where we insert the healing needles of our terror and longing? Lawrence Durrell
We don't stop talking about how the world might be better just because we have no chance of making it to Prime Minister. We are all politicians. We are all artists. In an open society everything the mind and hands can achieve is our birthright. It is up to us to claim it. Stephen Fry
Paulo Coelho quote: "We are entering a new world in which we can choose to follow..."
We are entering a new world in which we can choose to follow our own steps, not those that society forces us to take. Paulo Coelho
The painter once believed in something, but now he paints only a hole without meaning, without anything- nothing but nothingness, the nothingness of our time. George Grosz
The second thing I wrote down that day was that exclusive male imagery of the Divine not only instilled an imbalance within human consciousness, it legitimized patriarchal power in the culture at large. Here alone is enough reason to recover the Divine Feminine, for there is a real and undeniable connection between the repression of the feminine in our deity and the repression of women. Sue Monk Kidd
No more words. In the name of this place we drink in with our breathing, stay quiet like a flower. So the nightbirds will start singing. Rumi
Why do we have to listen to our hearts?" the boy asked."Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure. Paulo Coelho
