Reconcile Quotes (page 3)

Thus we arrive at the singular conclusion that of all the information passed by our cultural assets it is precisely the elements which might be of the greatest importance to us and which have the task of solving the riddles of the universe and of reconciling us to the sufferings of life -- it is precisely those elements that are the least well authenticated of any. Sigmund Freud
George Santayana quote: "There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink,..."
There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves. George Santayana
Anyhow, with their extraordinary gift for, and experience in, affairs of the heart from the double point of view, both of the man and of the woman it is not difficult to see that these people have a special work to do as reconcilers and interpreters of the two sexes to each other. Edward Carpenter
Thought is no longer theoretical. As soon as it functions it offends or reconciles, attracts or repels, breaks, dissociates, unites or reunites; it cannot help but liberate or enslave. Even before prescribing, suggesting a future, saying what must be done, even before exhorting or merely sounding an alarm, thought, at the level of its existence, in its very dawning, is in itself an action-a perilous act. Michel Foucault
Jane Austen quote: "There is hardly any personal defect which an agreeable manner..."
There is hardly any personal defect which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to. Jane Austen
Nor can we see the coffin of a person we have known, without experiencing some new shock of loss. In this respect, a coffin is like a mirror, in which we see the image of our own condition, and understand that our human differences, whether of appearance, morality or wealth, must finally be reconciled. Andrew Motion
For a while, I thought I was going mad. At last, I became reconciled to my despair. The medications helped, too, I thought, sir. Lois McMaster Bujold
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel quote: "Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but..."
Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Socialism needs to pull down wealth; liberalism seeks to raise up poverty. Socialism would destroy private interests, Liberalism would preserve [them] ... by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the preeminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks ... to build up a minimum standard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism... Winston Churchill
I had once thought strength of character was a hardening of oneself; an intricate protection system by which you reconciled yourself to the truths of life and learned to let them not bother you. But all systems of character building go right out the window when you find there aren't anymore truths.. or none you recognize. Jonathan Carroll
The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic. Ralph Waldo Emerson
and he wasn't reconciled to dying. Dora told him he was going to a better world. "Mebbe, mebbe," says poor Ben, "but I'm sorter used to the imperfections of this one. L. M. Montgomery
She is so beautiful she is unnatural; her beauty is an abnormality, a deformity, for none of her features exhibit any of those touching imperfections that reconcile us to the imperfection of the human condition. Angela Carter
I was not really angry: I felt for him all the time, and longed to be reconciled; but I determined he should make the first advances, or at least show some signs of an humble and contrite spirit, first; for, if I began, it would only minister to his self-conceit, increase his arrogance, and quite destroy the lesson I wanted to give him. Anne Bronte
John Milton quote: "Never can true reconcilement grow where wounds of deadly hate..."
Never can true reconcilement grow where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep... John Milton
