Seeing Quotes (page 122)

If God meant to interfere in the degeneracy of mankind would he not have done so by now? Wolves cull themselves, man. What other creature could? And is the race of man not more predacious yet? The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the noon of his expression signals the onset of night. His spirit is exhausted at the peak of its achievement. His meridian is at once his darkening and the evening of his day. He loves games? Let him... Cormac McCarthy
The life of a poet lies not merely in the finite language-dance of expression but in the nearly infinite combinations of perception and memory combined with the sensitivity to what is perceived and remembered. My three local years on Heaven’s Gate, almost fifteen hundred standard days, allowed me to see, to feel, to hear to remember, as if I literally had been born again. Little matter that I had been born again in hell. Dan Simmons
Sometimes, "never let them see you sweat," is truly bad advice. The work of an individual who cares often exposes the grit and determination and effort that it takes to be present. Perfecting your talk, refining your essay and polishing your service until all elements of you disappear might be obvious tactics, but they remove the thing we were looking for: you. Seth Godin
That’s why our TVs are brimming with so much hot man-on-pan action. You can’t channel surf for long without seeing turkey getting stuffed over and over until they finally cut to the gravy shot. Stephen Colbert
Patti Smith quote: "It seemed as if the whole of the world was slowly being..."
It seemed as if the whole of the world was slowly being stripped of innocence. Or maybe I was seeing a little too clearly. Patti Smith
Full many a gem of purest ray serene. The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. And waste its sweetness on the desert air"A good many flowers bloom and fade away in deserted places, seen by no one. In its context in Thomas Gray's "Elegy" it is actually a metaphor for common folk who do heroic things that are never reported in the news or recorded in history. Like a precious stone unmined at the bottom of the ocean or a beautiful flower blooming in... Thomas Gray
Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity. For the crowd believes that if it cannot see to the bottom of something it must be profound. It is so timid and dislikes going into the water. Friedrich Nietzsche
Sylvia Plath quote: "Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which..."
Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming? Sylvia Plath
Stephenie Meyer quote: "The thing about the sun… is that it’s always there. Like..."
The thing about the sun… is that it’s always there. Like sometimes, you can’t see it, but it never really goes away. Stephenie Meyer
Naturally, if one's days were passed in this seeing of angular essences, this reducing of lovely evenings, with all their flamingo clouds and blue and silver to a white deal four-legged table (and it was a mark of the finest minds to do so), naturally one could not be judged like an ordinary person. Virginia Woolf
...I think it's some kind of meeting of energies that causes what we see, and that part of those energies emanate from our lifeforces, our minds. Walter Mosley
All witches who'd lived in her cottage were bookish types. They thought you could see life through books but you couldn't, the reason being that the words got in the way. Terry Prachett
Terry Goodkind quote: "If you regain your senses, come see me, I will teach you how?..."
If you regain your senses, come see me, I will teach you how? - Cara Terry Goodkind
Jodi Picoult quote: "When you love someone, you don't see parts of him you don't like."
When you love someone, you don't see parts of him you don't like. Jodi Picoult
And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’ But I’ll know my song well before I start singin Bob Dylan
