Seen Quotes (page 89)

Then she told me why a tiger is gold and black. It has two ways. The gold side leaps with its fierce heart. The black side stands still with cunning, hiding its gold between the trees, seeing and not being seen, waiting patiently for things to come. I did not learn to use my black side until after the bad man left me. Amy Tan
Cannot you tell that? Every fool can tell that. It was the very day that young Hamlet was born, he that is mad and sent into England."Ay, marry, why was he sent into England?"Why, because he was mad. He shall recover his wits there, or, if he do not, it's no great matter there."Why?"'Twill not be seen in him there. There the men are as mad as he. William Shakespeare
At the moment our human world is based on the suffering and destruction of millions of non-humans. To perceive this and to do something to change it in personal and public ways is to undergo a change of perception akin to a religious conversion. Nothing can ever be seen in quite the same way again because once you have admitted the terror and pain of other species you will, unless you resist conversion, be always aware of the endless permutations of suffering that support our society. Arthur Conan Doyle
[Kafka] transformed the profoundly antipoetic material of a highly bureaucratized society into the great poetry of the novel; he transformed a very ordinary story of a man who cannot obtain a promised job . . . into myth, into epic, into a kind of beauty never before seen. Milan Kundera
This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light on the stars requires time; deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves. Friedrich Nietzsche
Every stone here sweats with suffering, I know that. I have never looked at them without a feeling of anguish. But deep in my heart I know that the most wretched among you have seen a divine face emerge from their darkness. That is the face you are asked to see. Albert Camus
I have never seen a wrestling match or prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him. Hedy Lamarr
Nobody around here had ever seen a lady beekeeper till her. She liked to tell everybody that women made the best beekeepers, 'cause they have a special ability built into them to love creatures that sting. It comes from years of loving children and husbands. Sue Monk Kidd
I did not know that mankind were suffering for want of gold. I have seen a little of it. I know that it is very malleable, but not so malleable as wit. A grain of gold will gild a great surface, but not so much as a grain of wisdom. Henry David Thoreau
Lawrence Ferlinghetti quote: "We have seen the best minds of our generation destroyed by..."
We have seen the best minds of our generation destroyed by boredom at poetry readings. Lawrence Ferlinghetti
John Steinbeck quote: "I have many homes, some that I have not seen yet. Maybe that..."
I have many homes, some that I have not seen yet. Maybe that is why I am restless; I have not yet known all of my homes John Steinbeck
The first time you see something that you have never seen before, you almost always know right away if you should eat it or run away from it. Scott Adams
All I did was ask you for a role-playing game. You never warned me I’d be pitched into it for real! And I asked you for hobbits on a grail quest, and not one hobbit have I seen! Diana Wynne Jones
Nothing in this world is hidden forever. The gold which has lain for centuries unsuspected in the ground, reveals itself one day on the surface. Sand turns traitor, and betrays the footstep that has passed over it; water gives back to the tell-tale surface the body that has been drowned. Fire itself leaves the confession, in ashes, of the substance consumed in it. Hate breaks its prison-secrecy in the thoughts, through the doorway of the eyes; and Love finds the Judas who betrays it by a... Wilkie Collins
Gore Vidal quote: "What other culture could have produced someone like Hemingway..."
What other culture could have produced someone like Hemingway and not seen the joke? Gore Vidal
