Rooting Quotes (page 5)

The need is not really for more brains, the need is now for a gentler, a more tolerant people than those who won for us against the ice, the tiger and the bear. The hand that hefted the ax, out of some old blind allegiance to the past fondles the machine gun as lovingly. It is a habit man will have to break to survive, but the roots go very deep. Loren Eiseley
Tupac Shakur quote: "Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. I say..."
Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots Tupac Shakur
Steadfastness in believing doth not exclude all temptations from without. When we say a tree is firmly rooted, we do not say the wind never blows upon it. John Owen
No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write, find out wether it spreading out its root in the deepest places of your heart...Delve into yourself for a deep answer Rainer Maria Rilke
In 1850, August Salzmann photographed, near Jerusalem, the road to Beith-Lehem (as it was spelled at the time): nothing but stony ground, olive trees; but three tenses dizzy my consciousness: my present, the time of Jesus, and that of the photographer, all this under the instance of 'reality'? and no longer through the elaborations of the text, whether fictional or poetic, which itself is never credible down to the root. Roland Barthes
I adore Life. What do all the fools matter and all the stupidity. They do matter but somehow for me they cannot touch the body of Life. Life is marvellous. I want to be deeply rooted in it - to live - to expand - to breathe in it - to rejoice - to share it. To give and to be asked for Love. Katherine Mansfield
Abraham Joshua Heschel quote: "Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity..."
Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity growswith the ability to say no to oneself. Abraham Joshua Heschel
I am convinced that imprisonment is a way of pretending to solve the problem of crime. It does nothing for the victims of crime, but perpetuates the idea of retribution, thus maintaining the endless cycle of violence in our culture. It is a cruel and useless substitute for the elimination of those conditions--poverty, unemployment, homelessness, desperation, racism, greed--which are at the root of most punished crime. The crimes of the rich and powerful go mostly unpunished. It must surely... Howard Zinn
it was like a dream in which one is being pursued, nearly caught and will be killed, and is rooted to the spot and cannot even move one’s arms. Fyodor Dostoevsky
I didn’t want to see this, didn’t want to think about this. I didn’t want to imagine him inside her. I didn’t want to know that something I hated so much had taken root in the body I loved. Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.174 Stephenie Meyer
Wilt Chamberlain quote: "Everyone roots for David, Nobody pulls for Goliath"
Everyone roots for David, Nobody pulls for Goliath Wilt Chamberlain
This is the effect of panic, a natural effect, you could say that animal nature is like this, plant life would behave in exactly the same way, too, if it did not have all those roots to hold it in the ground, and how nice it would be to see the trees of the forest fleeing the flames. Jose Saramago
If we do not believe within ourselves this deeply rooted feeling that there is something higher than ourselves, we shall never find the strength to evolve into something higher. Rudolf Steiner
Love, she thought, must come suddenly, with great outbursts and lightnings,--a hurricane of the skies, which falls upon life, revolutionises it, roots up the will like a leaf, and sweeps the whole heart into the abyss. Gustave Flaubert
Paramahansa Yogananda quote: "The power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man's slavery"
The power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man's slavery Paramahansa Yogananda
