Simply Quotes (page 34)

So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator? Stephen Hawking
I watched her departure, as one watches a sunset. She went like a radiance through the dark wood, which was henceforth bright to me, from simply knowing that such a creature was in it. George MacDonald
Plato quote: "Love is simply the name for the desire and pursuit of the whole."
Love is simply the name for the desire and pursuit of the whole. Plato
Faith is neither hope nor trust, but a particular spiritual state. Faith is man’s awareness that his position in the world obliges him to perform certain actions. A person acts according to his faith, not as the catechism says because he believes in things unseen as in things seen, nor because he wishes to achieve things hoped for, but simply because having defined his position in the world it is natural for him to act according to it. Leo Tolstoy
To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. An appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return. Kate Millett
She was furious, with the kind of fury peculiar to the nonpaying client. Those who can't afford private attorneys . . . assumed legal aid was incompetent. Do-gooders were simply losers in disguise. Laura Lippman
He is altogether selfish, she thought in some surprise, the only man I have ever sat and talked to alone, and I am impatient; he is simply not very interesting. Shirley Jackson
Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk. I don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. They don't move just their feet; everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful. Robert A. Heinlein
Mark Twain quote: "Once you've put one of his [Henry James] books down, you..."
Once you've put one of his [Henry James] books down, you simply can't pick it up again. Mark Twain
She always says she dislikes the abnormal, it is so obvious. She says the normal is so much more simply complicated and interesting. Gertrude Stein
Oscar Wilde quote: "Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to..."
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect - simply a confession of failures. Oscar Wilde
[Research] suggests that what we think of as free will is largely an illusion: much of the time, we are simply operating on automatic pilot, and the way we think and act? and how well we think and act on the spur of the moment? are a lot more susceptible to outside influences than we realize. Malcolm Gladwell
We might not know we are seeking people who best enrich our lives, but somehow on a deep subconscious level we absolutely are. Whether the bond is temporary or permanent, whether it succeeds or fails, fate is simply a configuration of choices that combine with others to shape the relationships that surround us. We cannot choose our family, but we can choose our friends, and we sometimes, before we even meet them. Simon Pegg
When I was young, I had to choose between the life of being and the life of doing. And I leapt at the latter like a trout to a fly. But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are. Ursula K. Le Guin
As a recluse I couldn't bear traffic. It had nothing to do with jealousy, I simply disliked people, crowds, anywhere, except at my readings. People diminished me, they sucked me dry. Charles Bukowski
