Outsider Quotes (page 49)

You can be so much in a room that the world outside turns to water. You've got the heater blowing out burnt air, but you still don't get warm. Your ankles are singed, but your head's in a bucket of ice. Time drips like a stalactite. The water for the coffee boils away in a tree of steam. Iain Sinclair
Anais Nin quote: "The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or a..."
The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or a woman, it's what we lack in ourselves. Anais Nin
The soul of man, left to its own natural level, is a potentially lucid crystal left in darkness. It is perfect in its own nature, but it lacks something that it can only receive from outside and above itself. But when the light shines in it, it becomes in a manner transformed into light and seems to lose its nature in the splendor of a higher nature, the nature of the light that is in it. Thomas Merton
Institutionalized rejection of difference is an absolute necessity in a profit economy which needs outsiders as surplus people. As members of such an economy, we have all been programmed to respond to the human differences between us with fear and loathing... But we have no patterns for relating across our human differences as equals. As a result, those differences have been misnamed and misused in the service of separation and confusion. Audre Lorde
William got up and went over to the window. Outside, the autumn fields lay pleasingly striped with stubble and speckled with partridges. Joanna Trollope
Don't think of what's past!" said she. "I am not going to think outside of now. Why should we! Who knows what tomorrow has in store? Thomas Hardy
The human spirit glows from that small inner light of doubt whether we are right, while those who believe with certainty that they possess the right are dark inside and darken the world outside with cruelty, pain, and injustice. Saul Alinsky
Jack Kerouac quote: "But, outside of being a sweet little girl, she was awfully..."
But, outside of being a sweet little girl, she was awfully dumb and capable of doing horrible things. Jack Kerouac
The bubbly play of wit, the chesty laughs, the resonant voices of men when glass in hand they shut the grey world outside and prod their brains with the fun and folly of an accelerated pulse. Jack London
I heard of a manwho says words so beautifullythat if he only speaks their namewomen give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your bodywhile silence blossoms like tumors on our lipsit is because I hear a man climb stairsand clear his throat outside our door. Leonard Cohen
My reflection in the mirror wasn't me. It looked like exactly like me on the outside, but it definitely wasn't me. No, that's not it. It was me, of course, but another me. Another me that never should have been. Haruki Murakami
In short, Israel is the measure of our failings and our incompetence. We have waited for a great leader for years, but none came; we have waited for a mighty military victory, but we were defeated roundly; we have waited for outside powers (the US or, in its time, the Soviet Union), but none came to our aid. The one thing we have not tried in all seriousness is to rely on OURSELVES: until we do that with a full commitment to success there is no chance that we can advance towards... Edward Said
Apart from the agglomeration of huge masses in which the individual disappears anyway, one of the chief factors responsible for psychological mass-mindedness is scientific rationalism, which robs the individual of his foundations and his dignity. As a social unit he has lost his individuality and become a mere abstract number in the bureau of statistics. He can only play the role of an interchangeable unit of infinitesimal importance. Looked at rationally and from outside, that is exactly... Carl Jung
The same applies to any artist; we are the tools and instruments of our talent. We are outsiders; we have no place in society because society is what we’re watching, and dealing with. William Trevor
Jeanette Winterson quote: "I realised something important: whatever is on the outside can..."
I realised something important: whatever is on the outside can be taken away at any time. Only what is inside you is safe. Jeanette Winterson
