Outsider Quotes (page 10)

Art must always stand guard against stirring emotions that lie outside the aesthetic: sexual arousal, terror, disgust, shock. Milan Kundera
What is "grace"? It is God's own life, shared by us. God's life is love. Deus caritas est. By grace we are able to share in the infinitely selfless love of Him Who is such pure actuality that He needs nothing and therefore cannot conceivably exploit anything for selfish ends. Indeed, outside of Him there is nothing, and whatever exists exists by His free gift of its being, so that one of the notions that is absolutely contradictory to the perfection of God is selfishness. Thomas Merton
In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colorless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and... Barbara Kingsolver
To be a man, to have been born without knowing it or wanting it, to be thrown into the ocean of existence, to be obliged to swim, to exist; to have an identity; to resist the pressure and shocks from the outside and the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts - one's own and those of others - which so often exceed one's capacities? And what is more, to endure one's own thoughts about all this: in a word, to be human. Ivo Andric
Stephen Covey quote: "Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how..."
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us. Stephen Covey
Charles M. Schulz quote: "One moment, please... We interrupt our regular program to..."
One moment, please... We interrupt our regular program to bring you this special bulletin: It's a nice day outside. Charles M. Schulz
I consider it an extremely dangerous doctrine, because the more likely we are to assume that the solution comes from the outside, the less likely we are to solve our problems ourselves. Carl Sagan
I was tired of chasing ghosts, hollow men who were outside my comfort zone, men who had nothing to give me except a rush. It was all I asked for, and all I ever got. Terry McMillan
Orhan Pamuk quote: "As always after drinking too much, I felt like my own ghost..."
As always after drinking too much, I felt like my own ghost trying to take it's first solo walk outside the body. Orhan Pamuk
It tires me to talk to rich men. You expect a man of millions, the head of a great industry, to be a man worthhearing; but as a rule they don't know anything outside their own business. Theodore Roosevelt
Winston Churchill quote: "When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt..."
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. Winston Churchill
The answer, The answer, my friend, is not yours to invent or create. It will be decided for you. It is outside you. It is real and objective and firm. One day you will hear it. You don’t create it. You don’t define it. It comes to you, and sooner or later you conform to it—or bow to it. John Piper
I get a kick out of being an outsider constantly. It allows me to be creative. I don't like anything in the mainstream and they don't like me. Bill Hicks
When I say that life is like an onion, I mean this: if you don't do anything with it, it goes rotten. So far, that's no different from other vegetables. But when an onion goes bad, it can either do it from the inside, or the outside. So sometimes you see one that looks good, but the core is rotten. Other times, you can see a bad spot on it, but if you cut that out, the rest is fine. Tastes sharp, but that's what you paid for, isn't it? Steven Brust
Some things you forget. Other things you never do. But it's not. Places, places are still there. If a house burns down, it's gone, but the place--the picture of it--stays, and not just in my remory, but out there, in the world. What I remember is a picture floating around out there outside my head. I mean, even if I don't think if, even if I die, the picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is still out there. Right in the place where it happened. Toni Morrison
