Seen Quotes (page 24)

I find that, as a rule, when a thing is a wonder to us it is not because of what we see in it, but because of what others have seen in it. We get almost all our wonders at second hand. Mark Twain
Would to Heaven we had never approached them at all, but had run back at top speed out of that blasphemous tunnel with the greasily smooth floors and the degenerate murals aping and mocking the things they had superseded-run back, before we had seen what we did see, and before our minds were burned with something which will never let us breathe easily again! H. P. Lovecraft
She had reached the age of seventeen, without having seen one amiable youth who could call forth her sensibility, without having inspired one real passion, and without having excited even any admiration but what was very moderate and very transient. Jane Austen

Everyone had taken their places, when I excused myself to visit the bathroom, and there, in the toilet, was the absolute biggest turd I have ever seen in my life - no toilet paper or anything, just this long and coiled specimen, as thick as a burrito. David Sedaris
I've spent my whole life doing some things because they were logical and not doing others because they were not. I've seen what happens when people act on intuition, or for illogical reasons. Sometimes the results are ludicrous and embarrassing; more often they are simply horrible. But here I am, just the same, behaving like a crackbrained crystal gazer. Stephen King
Milan Kundera quote: "The novel is a meditation on existence as seen through the..."

Philip Pullman quote: "Lyra has never seen such a sight, never heard such a bellow;..."
Lyra has never seen such a sight, never heard such a bellow; it was like a mountain laughing. Philip Pullman
Heinrich Heine quote: "But that age? exerts on us. An almost terrible charm, Like the..."
But that age? exerts on us. An almost terrible charm, Like the memory of things seen. And a life lived in dreams. Heinrich Heine
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet. A sudden tree or standing stone. That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! J. R. R. Tolkien
There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied int he one, I will indulge the other. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "An actress wants to be seen. An actress wants to be loved. ..."
An actress wants to be seen. An actress wants to be loved. By multitudes of people, not just one lone man. Joyce Carol Oates
From a translation by Stephen Mitchell Chapter 14Look, and it can't be seen. Listen, and it can't be heard. Reach, and it can't be grasped. Above, it isn't bright. Below, it isn't dark. Seamless, unnamable, it returns to the realm of nothing. Form that includes all forms, image without an image, subtle, beyond all conception. Approach it and there is no beginning; follow it and there is no end. You can't know it, but you can be it, at ease in your own life. Just realize where you come from:... Lao Tzu
