Paul Tillich quote: "Cynically speaking, one could say that it is true to life to..."
Cynically speaking, one could say that it is true to life to be cynical about it. Paul Tillich
I tend to think of the act of photographing, generally speaking, as an adventure. My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been. Diane Arbus
I might be tempted to make to Christendom a proposal different from that of the Bible society. Let us collect all the New Testaments we have, let us bring them out to an open square or up to the summit of a mountain, and while we all kneel let one man speak to God thus: 'Take this book back again; we men, such as we now are, are not fit to go in for this sort of thing, it only makes us unhappy,' This is my proposal, that like those inhabitants in Gerasa we beseech Christ to depart from our... Soren Kierkegaard
Oh! why was I born with a different face? why was I not born like the rest of my race? when I look, each one starts! when I speak, I offend; then Im silent & passive & lose every friend. Then my verse I dishonour, my pictures despise, my person degrade & my temper chastise; and the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame; all my talents I bury, and dead is my fame. Im either too low or too highly prized; when elate I m envy'd, when meek Im despis'd William Blake
As Lacy waited for her turn to speak on Peter's behalf, she thought back to the first time she realized she could hate her own child. Jodi Picoult
It is more than probable that I am not understood; but I fear, indeed, that it is in no manner possible to convey to the mind of the merely general reader, an adequate idea of that nervous intensity of interest with which, in my case, the powers of meditation (not to speak technically) busied and buried themselves, in the contemplation of even the most ordinary objects of the universe. Edgar Allan Poe
George Eliot quote: "Even when she was speaking, her soul was in prayer reposing on..."
Even when she was speaking, her soul was in prayer reposing on an unseen support. George Eliot
He is the intermediary between us, his audience, the living, and they, the dolls, the undead, who cannot live at all and yet who mimic the living in every detail since, though they cannot speak or weep, still they project those signals of signification we instantly recognize as language. Angela Carter
Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted. Martin Luther
He was one of those men, and they are not the commonest, of whom we can know the best only by following them away from the marketplace, the platform, and the pulpit, entering with them into their own homes, hearing the voice with which they speak to the young and aged about their own hearthstone, and witnessing their thoughtful care for the everyday wants of everyday companions, who take all their kindness as a matter of course, and not as a subject for panegyric. George Eliot
The Voice. There is a voice inside of you. That whispers all day long,"I feel this is right for me, I know that this is wrong."No teacher, preacher, parent, friend. Or wise man can decide. What's right for you--just listen to. The voice that speaks inside. Shel Silverstein
We speak in (rich) monotones. Our poetry is haunted by the music it has left behind. Orpheus shrinks to a poet when he looks back, with the impatience of reason, on a music stronger than death. George Steiner
But neither of them dared speak of it, and not having expressed the one thing that occupied their thoughts, whatever they said rang false. Leo Tolstoy
A. A. Milne quote: "When speaking to a Bear of Very Little Brain, remember that..."
When speaking to a Bear of Very Little Brain, remember that long words may bother him. A. A. Milne
Edmund Burke once described society as a partnership between the dead, the living, and the yet unborn. It is difficult to see in the evolving system who will speak for the yet unborn, for the future. Fareed Zakaria
