Seeing Quotes (page 237)

Not merely hope, but any burdensome yearning: ambition, hatred, love (especially love) - how rarely do our emotions meet the object they seem to deserve? How hopelessly we signal; how dark the sky; how big the waves. We are all lost at see, washed between hope and despair, hailing something that may never come to rescue us. Catastrophe has become art; but this is no reducing process. It is freeing, enlarging, explaining. Catastrophe has become art: that is, after all, what it is for. Julian Barnes
You can get into a habit of thought in which you enjoy making fun of all those other people who don't see things as clearly as you do. We have to guard carefully against it. Carl Sagan
It is not enough for journalists to see themselves as mere messengers without understanding the hidden agendas of the message and the myths that surround it. John Pilger
George R. R. Martin quote: "Pissing is the least of my talents. You ought to see me shit"
Pissing is the least of my talents. You ought to see me shit George R. R. Martin
Henrik Ibsen quote: "You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that..."
You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with. Henrik Ibsen
Divinely wise souls often infuriate the worldly-wise because they always see things from the Divine point of view. The worldly are willing to let anyone believe in God if he pleases, but only on condition that a belief in God will mean no more than belief in anything else. They will allow God, provided that God does not matter. But taking God seriously is precisely what makes the saint. As St. Teresa put it, “What is not God to me is nothing.” This passion is called snobbish, intolerant,... Fulton J. Sheen
Ah! how little knowledge does a man acquire in his life. He gathers it up like water, but like water it runs between his fingers, and yet, if his hands be but wet as though with dew, behold a generation of fools call out, 'See, he is a wise man!' Is it not so? H. Rider Haggard
...I learned that God was an equal opportunity employer—that it was possible to experience the divine anywhere you were, anywhere you could see the sun and moon rise or set, or burn through the fog. Anne Lamott
How could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so. Anne Rice
When we try to focus our thought upon One who is pure uncreated being we may see nothing at all, for He dwelleth in light that no man can approach unto. Only by faith and love are we able to glimpse Him as He passes by our shelter in the cleft of the rock. Aiden Wilson Tozer
William James describes a man who got the experience from laughing-gas; whenever he was under its influence, he knew the secret of the universe, but when he came to, he had forgotten it. At last, with immense effort, he wrote down the secret before the vision had faded. When completely recovered, he rushed to see what he had written. It was: "A smell of petroleum prevails throughout. Bertrand Russell
Alfred Lord Tennyson quote: "For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw..."
For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be. Alfred Lord Tennyson
I've changed my ways a little, I cannot now. Run with you in the evenings along the shore, Except in a kind of dream, and you, if you dream a moment, You see me there. Robinson Jeffers
Occasionally, there arises a writing situation where you see an alternative to what you are doing, a mad, wild gamble of a way for handling something, which may leave you looking stupid, ridiculous or brilliant -you just don't know which. You can play it safe there, too, and proceed along the route you'd mapped out for yourself. Or you can trust your personal demon who delivered that crazy idea in the first place.Trust your demon. Roger Zelazny
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself..."
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them. Marcus Aurelius
