Someone Quotes (page 81)

Marilyn Monroe quote: "It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone. Marilyn Monroe
Joss Whedon quote: "Recognizing someone else’s power does not diminish your own."
Recognizing someone else’s power does not diminish your own. Joss Whedon
Man is originally characterized by his "search for meaning" rather than his "search for himself." The more he forgets himself—giving himself to a cause or another person—the more human he is. And the more he is immersed and absorbed in something or someone other than himself the more he really becomes himself. Viktor E. Frankl
We often feel that we lack something, and seem to see that very quality in someone else, promptly attributing all our own qualities to him too, and a kind of ideal contentment as well. And so the happy mortal is a model of complete perfection--which we have ourselves created. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A human being without the proper empathy or feeling is the same as an android built so as to lack it, either by design or mistake. We mean, basically, someone who does not care about the fate which his fellow living creatures fall victim to; he stands detached, a spectator, acting out by his indifference John Donne's theorem that 'No man is an island,' but giving that theorem a twist: that which is a mental and a moral island is not a man. Philip K. Dick
In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it. Thucydides
Much better stay in company! To love you must have someone else, Giving requires a legatee, Good neighbours need whole parishfuls. Of folk to do it on - in short, Our virtues are all social; if, Deprived of solitude, you chafe, It's clear you're not the virtuous sort. Philip Larkin
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on. Jodi Picoult
Paulo Coelho quote: "It is not time that changes man nor knowledge the only thing..."
It is not time that changes man nor knowledge the only thing that can change someone's mind is love. Paulo Coelho
Cesare Pavese quote: "From someone who doesn't want to share your destiny, you..."
From someone who doesn't want to share your destiny, you should neither accept a cigarette Cesare Pavese
It is significant comment on the victory of science over magic that were someone to say ‘if I put this pill in your beer it will explode,’ we might believe them; but were they to cry ‘if I pronounce this spell over your beer it will go flat,’ we should remain incredulous and Paracelsus, the Alchemists, Aleister Crowley and all the Magi have lived in vain. Yet when I read science I turn magical; when I study magic, scientific. Cyril Connolly
A socialist is just someone who is unable to get over his or her astonishment that most people who have lived and died have spent lives of wretched, fruitless, unremitting toil. Terry Eagleton
Reading is merely a surrogate for thinking for yourself; it means letting someone else direct your thoughts. Many books, moreover, serve merely to show how many ways there are of being wrong, and how far astray you yourself would go if you followed their guidance. You should read only when your own thoughts dry up, which will of course happen frequently enough even to the best heads; but to banish your own thoughts so as to take up a book is a sin against the holy ghost; it is like deserting... Arthur Schopenhauer
Don’t follow someone else’s map. You should glean teachings from all directions, keeping true to those that bring progress yet remaining open to changes in yourself. Deepak Chopra
Rockabye Baby, in the treetop Dont you know a treetop is no safe place to rock? And who put you up there, and your cradle too? Baby, I think someone down here has got it in for you! Shel Silverstein
