If we are bound to improve, we need not trouble to improve. The pure doctrine of progress is the best of all reasons for not being a progressive. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Oscar Wilde quote: "The sky was pure opal now."
The sky was pure opal now. Oscar Wilde
Siddhartha has one single goal-to become empty, to become empty of thirst, desire, dreams, pleasure and sorrow-to let the Self die. No longer to be Self, to experience the peace of an emptied heart, to experience pure thought-that was his goal. Herman Hesse
I think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it limp wherever it takes you. Annie Dillard
Keanu Reeves quote: "Multi-culture is the real culture of the world — the pure race..."
Multi-culture is the real culture of the world — the pure race doesn’t exist. Keanu Reeves
Admittedly, I do have several bones, whole war fields full of bones, in fact to pick with organised religion of whatever stripe. This should be seen as a critique of purely temporal agencies who have, to my mind, erected more obstacles between whatever notion of spirituality and Godhead one subscribes to than they have opened doors. To me, the difference between Godhead and the Church is the difference between Elvis and Colonel Parker... although that conjures images of God dying on the... Alan Moore
I am now convinced that I have never been much in love; for had I really experienced that pure and elevating passion, I should at present detest his very name, and wish him all manner of evil. But my feelings are not only cordial towards him; they are even impartial towards her. I cannot find out that I hate her at all, or that I am in the least unwilling to think her a very good sort of girl. There can be no love in all this. Jane Austen
And I, stepping from this skin. Of old bandages, boredoms, old faces. Step to you from the black car of Lethe, Pure as a baby. Sylvia Plath
We're neither pure, nor wise, nor good. We'll do the best we know. We'll build our house and chop our wood. And make our garden grow. And make our garden grow! Leonard Bernstein
TransformationsAll night he ran, his body air, But that was in another year. Lately the answered shape of his laughter, The shape of his smallest word, is fire. He who is a fierce young crier Of poems will be as tranquil as water, Keeping, in sunset glow, the pure Image of limitless desire; Then enter earth and come to be, Inch by inch, geography. Stanley Kunitz
Mitch Albom quote: "Please, please, please, please, please...,", squeezing his..."
Please, please, please, please, please...,", squeezing his eyes shut because it somehow made the words more pure. Mitch Albom
I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use Elizabeth Barrett Browning
But the spectacle perceived does not partake of pure being. Taken exactly as I see it, it is a moment of my individual history, and since sensation is a reconstitution, it pre-supposes in me sediments left behind by some previous constitution, so that I am, as a sentient subject, a repository stocked with natural powers at which I am the first to be filled with wonder. Maurice Merleau-Ponty
As to...old composers like Schubert or Beethoven, I imagine that, while modern music expresses both feeling, thought and imagination, they expressed pure feeling. And you know all day sitting at work, eating, walking, etc., you have hundreds of feelings that can't be put into words. And that is why I think that in a sense music is the highest of the arts, because it really begins where the others leave off. C. S. Lewis
