Progress Quotes (page 29)

Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came human beings; they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate--for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself. Albert Camus
Frederick Douglass quote: "Without struggle there can be no forward progress!"
Without struggle there can be no forward progress! Frederick Douglass
The two plants had a gentleman's agreement going, like the railroad companies and the real-estate speculators in the old days, whereby they progressed together up the hill and into the yard. Nicholson Baker
I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit. Remember what risk the nations of Europe ran, not so many centuries ago of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how ridiculous such an idea now is! The more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been... Charles Darwin
Nora Roberts quote: "People and relationships never stop being a work in progress"
People and relationships never stop being a work in progress Nora Roberts
The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us. Aiden Wilson Tozer
But when you are week the best way to fortify yourself is to strip the people you fear of the last bit of prestige you’re still inclined to give them. Learn to consider them they are, worse than they are in fact and from every point of view. That will release you, set you free, protect you more than you can possibly imagine. It will give you another self. There will be two of you. That will strip their words and deeds of the obscene mystical fascination that weakens you and makes you... Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Almost all men are over anxious. No sooner do they enter the world than they lose that taste for natural and simple pleasures so remarkable in early life. Every hour do they ask themselves what progress they have made in the pursuit of wealth or honor and on they go as their fathers went before them till weary and sick at heart they look back with a sigh of regret to the golden time of their childhood. Samuel Rogers
C. S. Lewis quote: "The history of literature is very far from being one of simple..."
The history of literature is very far from being one of simple progress. C. S. Lewis
Wide horizons lead the soul to broad ideas; circumscribed horizons engender narrow ideas; this sometimes condemns great hearts to become small minded. Broad ideas hated by narrow ideas,—this is the very struggle of progress. Victor Hugo
But if we are talking in terms of making progress in life, we must understand that "good enough" is very different from "best. Paulo Coelho
Garrison Keillor quote: "The rich can afford to be progressive. Poor people have reason..."
The rich can afford to be progressive. Poor people have reason to be afraid of the future. Garrison Keillor
We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron... J. R. R. Tolkien
Ayn Rand quote: "A man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress."
A man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress. Ayn Rand
Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, this is recognized: that the human race has been harshly treated, but that it has advanced. Victor Hugo
