Seeking Quotes (page 16)

WHEN reading my present treatise, bear in mind that by "faith" we do not understand merely that which is uttered with the lips, but also that which is apprehended by the soul, the conviction that the object [of belief] is exactly as it is apprehended. If, as regards real or supposed truths, you content yourself with giving utterance to them in words, without apprehending them or believing in them, especially if you do not seek real truth, you have a very easy task as, in fact, you will find... Maimonides
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountaintop, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shal claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. Khalil Gibran
There Albine lay, panting, exhausted by love, her hands clutched closer and closer to her heart, breathing her last. She parted her lips, seeking the kiss which should obliterate her, and then the hyacinths and tuberoses exhaled their incense, wrapping her in a final sigh, so profound that it drowned the chorus of roses, and in this culminating gasp of blossom, Albine was dead.

The simple fact is that we live in a world of conflict and opposites because we live in a world of boundaries. Since every boundary line is also a battle line, here is the human predicament: the firmer one’s boundaries, the more entrenched are one’s battles. The more I hold onto pleasure, the more I necessarily fear pain. The more I pursue goodness, the more I am obsessed with evil. The more I seek success, the more I must dread failure. The harder I cling to life, the more terrifying death... Ken Wilber
Therefore make money. A pox of drowning thyself! 'Tis clean out of the way. Seek thou rather to be hanged in compassing thy joy than to be drowned and go without her. William Shakespeare

But the hunter was also the hunted, For many of my arrows left my bow only to seek my own breast... Khalil Gibran
Beloved," said the Glorious One, "unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly seek. C. S. Lewis

We who would seek new land must be willing to sacrifice the sight of shore for a long, long time. Andre Gide
Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments? and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education. Jiddu Krishnamurti
Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life. Les Brown
John F. Kennedy quote: "Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past, let us accept..."
Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past, let us accept our own responsibility for the future. John F. Kennedy
Come, my friends. Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die Alfred Lord Tennyson
Colleen McCullough quote: "The lioness in Rome is quiet. I will not wake her to seek more..."
The lioness in Rome is quiet. I will not wake her to seek more money. Colleen McCullough
Teaching literature is teaching how to read. How to notice things in a text that a speed-reading culture is trained to disregard, overcome, edit out, or explain away; how to read what the language is doing, not guess what the author was thinking; how to take evidence from a page, not seek a reality to substitute for it. Barbara Johnson
It only meant that my natural inclination was to draw my "energy" from within instead of seeking it outside myself, plus my mom was an introvcert, and so were a lot of normal people. The problem was I was shy on top of that. And we all know how the world loves a shy introvert. Sue Monk Kidd
