The ruin or blank, that we see when we look at nature is in our own eye...Love is as much its demand, as perception. Indeed neither can be perfect without the other. Ralph Waldo Emerson
William Shakespeare quote: "It is far easier for me to teach twenty what were right to be..."
It is far easier for me to teach twenty what were right to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching. William Shakespeare
The oppressors do not perceive their monopoly on having more as a privilege which dehumanizes others and themselves. They cannot see that, in the egoistic pursuit of having as a possessing class, they suffocate in their own possessions and no longer are; they merely have. Paulo Freire
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Oh I've plenty of time, my time is entirely my own."
Oh I've plenty of time, my time is entirely my own. Fyodor Dostoevsky
The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest. Aiden Wilson Tozer
I now believe that the only way in which Americans can rise above their ordinariness, can mature sufficiently to rescue themselves and to help rescue their planet, is through enthusiastic intimacy with works of their own imagination. Kurt Vonnegut
Nothing can work damage to me except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me and never am a real sufferer except by my own fault. Ralph Waldo Emerson
not only does the universe have its own laws, all of them indifferent to the contradictory dreams and desires of humanity, and in the formulation of which we contribute not one iota, apart, that is, fromm the words by which we clumsily name them, but everything seems to indicate that it uses these laws for aims and objectives that transcend and always will transcend our understanding. Jose Saramago
Ludwig van Beethoven quote: "Nothing is more intolerable than to have admit to yourself..."
Nothing is more intolerable than to have admit to yourself your own errors. Ludwig van Beethoven
Margaret Oliphant quote: "Oh, never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one's own,..."
Oh, never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one's own, it is always 20 times better. Margaret Oliphant
Who was this women?' asked Harry. 'I dunno, some Ministry hag.' Mundungus considered for a moment, brow wrinkled. 'Little women. Bow on top of er' head.' He frowned and then added, 'Looked like a toad.' Harry dropped his wand. Harry looked up and saw his own shock reflected in Ron and Hermione's faces. The scars on the back of right hand seemed to be tingling again. J. K. Rowling
George Eliot quote: "Pride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only..."
Pride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts—not to hurt others. George Eliot
Knowing that everything comes to an end is a gift of experience, a consolation gift for knowing that we ourselves are coming to an end. Before we get it we live in a continuous present, and imagine the future as more of that present. Happiness is endless happiness, innocent of its own sure passing. Pain is endless pain. Tobias Wolff
Someone should write an erudite essay on the moral, physical, and esthetic effect of the Model T Ford on the American nation. Two generations of Americans knew more about the Ford coil than the clitoris, about the planetary system of gears than the solar system of stars. With the Model T, part of the concept of private property disappeared. Pliers ceased to be privately owned and a tire pump belonged to the last man who had picked it up. Most of the babies of the period were conceived in... John Steinbeck
The man might have died in a fit; but then the jewels are missing," mused the Inspector, "Ha! I have a theory. These flashes come upon me at times... What do you think of this, Holmes?

How's that?"On which the dead man very considerately got up and locked the door on the inside," said Holmes. Arthur Conan Doyle
