Overlooked Quotes (page 5)

Anais Nin quote: "What I cannot love, I overlook."
What I cannot love, I overlook. Anais Nin
All of that has been a brutal lesson to me in not overlooking or misunderstanding what is actually there, in your hands, now. We always think the thing we need to transform everything--the miracle--is elsewhere, but often it is right next to us. Sometimes it is us, ourselves. Jeanette Winterson
I don't give a damn about your brother James and his friends. Their theory was not new, it has worked for centuries. But it wasn't foolproof. There is just one point that they overlooked. They thought it was safe to ride on my brain, because they assumed that the goal of my journey was wealth. All their calculations rested on the premise that I wanted to make money. What if I didn't? Ayn Rand
The most significant gifts are the ones most easily overlooked. Small, everyday blessings: woods, health, music, laughter, memories, books, family, friends, second chances, warm fireplaces, and all the footprints scattered throughout our days. Sue Monk Kidd
William James quote: "The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook."
The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook. William James
Your religion assumes that people are children and need a boogeyman so they'll behave. You want people to believe in God so they'll obey the law. That's the only means that occurs to you: a strict secular police force, and the threat of punishment by an all-seeing God for whatever the police overlook. You sell human beings short. Carl Sagan
Willows whiten, aspens quiver, little breezes dusk and shiver, thro' the wave that runs forever by the island in the river, flowing down to Camelot. Four gray walls and four gray towers, overlook a space of flowers, and the silent isle imbowers, the Lady of Shalott. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Jean Paul quote: "Courage consists, not in blindly overlooking danger, but in..."
Courage consists, not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing and conquering it. Jean Paul
It is easy to overlook this thought that life just is. As humans we are inclined to feel that life must have a point. We have plans and aspirations and desires. We want to take constant advantage of the intoxicating existence we've been endowed with. But what's life to a lichen? Yet its impulse to exist, to be , is every bit as strong as ours-arguably even stronger. If I were told that I had to spend decades being a furry growth on a rock in the woods, I believe I would lose the will to go... Bill Bryson
My favorite hotel is the Villa Alilla in Bali. The setting is pure bliss, overlooking the ocean of Uluwhatu; the eye line makes you feel as if you're floating on top of the ocean. Carolyn Murphy
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself. Henry Miller
Matt Groening quote: "Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the..."
Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked. Matt Groening
Sigmund Freud quote: "It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization..."
It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built upon a renunciation of instinct. Sigmund Freud
Paul Desmond quote: "I was overlooked long before anyone knew who I was."
I was overlooked long before anyone knew who I was. Paul Desmond
