Aldous Huxley quote: "Even science must sometimes be treated as a possible enemy...."
Even science must sometimes be treated as a possible enemy. Yes even science. Aldous Huxley
Religion is the vision of something which stands beyond, behind, and within, the passing flux of immediate things; something which is real, and yet waiting to be realised; something which is a remote possibility, and yet the greatest of present facts; something that gives meaning to all that passes, and yet eludes apprehension; something whose possession is the final good, and yet is beyond all reach; something which is the ultimate ideal, and the hopeless quest. Alfred North Whitehead
Michael Pollan quote: "We are at once the problem and the only possible solution to..."
We are at once the problem and the only possible solution to the problem. Michael Pollan
A man may ask anything of a woman, but unless he wishes to behave like a brute, he must make it possible for her to act in harmony with her deepest self-deceptions. Milan Kundera
just because of its promise of unlimited possibilities technology is an empty form like the most formalistic logic and is unable to determine the content of life. that is why our time, being the most intensely technical, is also the emptiest in all human history. Jose Ortega y Gasset
You need as much ballast as possible to stop you from floating away; you need people around you, things going on, otherwise life is like some film where the money ran out, and there are no sets, or locations, or supporting actors, and it's just one bloke on his own staring into the camera with nothing to do and nobody to speak to, and who'd believe in this character then? Nick Hornby
I think I may boast myself to be, with all possible vanity, the most unlearned and uninformed female who ever dared to be an authoress. Jane Austen
The relationship between the famous and the public who sustain them is governed by a striking paradox. Infinitely remote, the great stars of politics, film and entertainment move across an electric terrain of limousines, bodygurads and private helicopters. At the same time, the zoom lens and the interview camera bring them so near to us that we know their faces and their smallest gestures more intimately than those of our friends. Somewhere in this paradoxical space our imaginations are free... J. G. Ballard
Richard Russo quote: "Can it be that what provides for us is the very thing that..."
Can it be that what provides for us is the very thing that poisons us? Who hasn't considered this terrible possibility? Richard Russo
There are a lot of us, some published, some not, who think the literary life is the loveliest one possible, this life of reading and writing and corresponding. We think this life is nearly ideal. Anne Lamott
If you know what you're looking for, that's all you'll get - what's previously known. But when you're open to what's possible, you get something new - that's creativity. Alan Alda
It is the history of our kindnesses that alone make this world tolerable. If it were not for that, for the effect of kind words, kind looks, kind letters . . . I should be inclined to think our life a practical jest in the worst possible spirit. Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert H. Schuller quote: "Let your imagination release your imprisoned possibilities"
Let your imagination release your imprisoned possibilities Robert H. Schuller
I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth. And my happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it. My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose. Ayn Rand
[I]f creative fiction writing is a process of translating an abstraction into the concrete, there are three possible grades of such writing: translating an old (known) abstraction (theme or thesis) through the medium of old fiction means (that is, characters, events or situations used before for that same purpose, that same translation) -- this is most of the popular trash; translating an old abstraction through new, original fiction means -- this is most of the good literature; creating a...
