Soulfulness Quotes (page 46)

Poets knew that isolation in nature, far from people and things man-made, was good for the soul, and he'd always identified with poets. Nicholas Sparks
A Childish Prank. Man's and woman's bodies lay without souls. Dully gaping, foolishly staring, inert. On the flowers of Eden. God pondered. The problem was so great, it dragged him asleep. Crow laughed. He bit the Worm, God's only son, Into two writhing halves. He stuffed into man the tail half. With the wounded end hanging out. He stuffed the head half headfirst into woman. And it crept in deeper and up. To peer out through her eyes. Calling it's tail-half to join up quickly, quickly.... Ted Hughes
The word landed with a stony thud Onto my still-beating breast. Nevermind, I was prepared, I will manage with the rest. I have a lot of work to do today; I need to slaughter memory, Turn my living soul to stone Then teach myself to live again. . . But how. The hot summer rustles Like a carnival outside my window; I have long had this premonition Of a bright day and a deserted house. Anna Akhmatova

The law presumably says that it is finest to keep as quiet as possible in misfortunes and not be irritated, since the good and bad in such things aren't plain, nor does taking it hard get one anywhere, not are any of the human things worthy of great seriousness.... One must accept the fall of the dice and settle one's affairs accordingly-- in whatever way argument declares would be best. One must not behave like children who have stumbled and who hold on to the hurt place and spend their time... Socrates
Valor is strength, not of legs and arms, but of heart and soul; it consists not in the worth of our horse or our weapons, but in our own. Michel de Montaigne
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "My soul seemed a foul as smoke from burning cat fur."
My soul seemed a foul as smoke from burning cat fur. Kurt Vonnegut
She was terrified. She was beginning to realise that after long months of selfcontrol, the pressure, theearthquake, the volcano of her soul was showing signs that it was about to erupt, and themoment that this happened, she would have no way of controlling her feelings. Paulo Coelho
No wonder so many sermons are devoted exclusively to "spiritual" subjects. If one is living by the tithes of history's most destructive economy, then the disembodiment of the soul becomes the chief of worldly conveniences. Wendell Berry
Samuel Taylor Coleridge quote: "What is an Epigram? A dwarfish whole, Its body brevity, and..."
What is an Epigram? A dwarfish whole, Its body brevity, and wit its soul. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How do you know, poor fool? Perhaps out there, somewhere, someone is sighing for your absence'; and with this thought, my soul begins to breathe. Petrarch
Sonnet XVIII do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,in secret, between the shadow and the soul.I love you as the plant that never bloomsbut carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or... Pablo Neruda
Look at them. There are your true philosophers. I think that Mack and the boys know everything that has ever happened in the world and possibly everything that will happen. I think they survive in this particular world better than other people. In a time when people tear themselves to pieces with ambition and nervousness and covetousness, they are relaxed. All of our so-called successful men are sick men, with bad stomachs, and bad souls, but Mack and the boys are healthy and curiously... John Steinbeck
Thomas Moore quote: "The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more..."
The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. Thomas Moore
