Sayings Quotes (page 148)

I do not at all believe in human freedom in the philosophical sense…. Schopenhauer’s saying, ‘A man can do what he wants, but not will what he wants,’ has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth; it has been a continual consolation in the face of life’s hardships, my own and others’, and an unfailing wellspring of tolerance. This realization mercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from taking ourselves and other people too seriously; it is... Albert Einstein
Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle them? Gene Wolfe
He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on? Stephen King
William Shakespeare quote: "For what says Quinapalus? Better a witty fool than a foolish wit."

I am still raw. I say I may be back. You know what lies are for. Even in your Zen heaven we shan't meet. Sylvia Plath
Jonathan Larson quote: "I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had. Someone to..."
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had. Someone to live for. Unafraid to say I Love You. Jonathan Larson
Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell. Rollo May
If that be simply perfectest. Which can by no way be expresst. But negatives, my love is so. To All, which all love, I say no. Negative Love John Donne
But on the way home tonight, you wish you'd picked him up, held him a bit. Just held him, very close to your heart, his cheek by the hollow of your shoulder, full of sleep. As it it were you who could, somehow, save him. For the moment not caring who you're supposed to be registered as. For the moment, anyway, no longer who the Caesars say you are. Thomas Pynchon
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew. Albert Einstein
When you go to a country, you must learn how to say two things: how to ask for food, and to tell a woman that you love her. Of these the second is more important, for if you tell a woman you love her, she will certainly feed you. Louis L'Amour
Jim Hightower quote: "Some people say we need a third party. I wish we had a second..."
Some people say we need a third party. I wish we had a second one. Jim Hightower
Maya Angelou quote: "In all my work what I try to say is that as human beings we..."
In all my work what I try to say is that as human beings we are more alike than we are unalike. Maya Angelou
The man who truly and disinterestedly enjoys any one thing in the world, for its own sake, and without caring two-pence what other people say about it, is by that very fact forewarmed against some of our subtlest modes of attack. C. S. Lewis
Patience is more than endurance. A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says--'I cannot stand anymore.' God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands. Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him. Oswald Chambers
