Searching Quotes (page 13)

Ah! realize your youth while you have it. Don’t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar.

Oscar Wilde
Trust me, I know what self loathing is. But to kill myself? That would put a damper on my search for answers. Not at all productive. Besides, I've become increasingly doubtful as to whether I can die at all. But let's not get into that. Jhonen Vasquez
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you. Walt Whitman
A philosopher who uses his professional competence for anything other except a disinterested search for truth is guilty of a kind of treachery. Bertrand Russell

She had blue skin, And so did he. He kept it hid. And so did she. They searched for blue. Their whole life through, Then passed right by-And never knew. Shel Silverstein

George Bernard Shaw quote: "When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth."
When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. George Bernard Shaw
The old channels cannot contain it and in its search for new ones there seems to be growing havoc and destruction along its banks. In this Chautauqua I would like not to cut any new channels of consciousness but simply dig deeper into old ones that have become silted in with the debris of thoughts grown stale and platitudes too often repeated. "What’s new?" is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and... Robert M. Pirsig
My new favorite word is 'awkward.'...The reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. If it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn't be worth the effort. Seth Godin
The whole notion of the nursing home was something dreamed up by people like my mother; American women with sunglasses, always searching for their tanning lotion or cigarette lighters. David Sedaris
Jim Morrison quote: "A man searching for paradise lost can seem a fool to those who..."
A man searching for paradise lost can seem a fool to those who never sought the other world. Jim Morrison
Don’t let this choice [of a marriage partner] ever be made except with earnest, searching, prayerful consideration, confiding in parents, [and] in faithful, mature, trustworthy friends. Richard L. Evans
Nicholas Sparks quote: "The search for God's presence was much of a mystery as God..."
The search for God's presence was much of a mystery as God himself, and what was God if not a mystery? Nicholas Sparks
This was the kiss I had waited for so long - a kiss born by the river of our childhood, when we didn't yet know what love meant. A kiss that had been suspended in the air as we grew, that had traveled in the world in the sovenier of a medal, and that had remained hidden behind piles of books. A kiss that had been lost and now was found. In the moment of that kiss were years of searching, disillusionment and impossible dreams. Paulo Coelho
