Thinking Quotes (page 651)

As an addict who will read anything, I obeyed, but I am not saved, and return to tell you neither what to read nor how to read it, only what I have read and think worthy of rereading, which may be the only pragmatic test for the canonical. Harold Bloom
It seemed to me certain, and I still think so today, that one can never wrestle enough with God if one does so out of pure regard for the truth.

Bushand Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been themost disturbing to me. Jimmy Carter
Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient and taking orders is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one's need to think. Adolf Eichmann
Claude Bernard quote: "It's what we think we know that keeps us from learning."
It's what we think we know that keeps us from learning. Claude Bernard
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast." ~ Norman Vincent Peale
My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them. Abraham Lincoln
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never..."
Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault. Louisa May Alcott
What do I really want? he thinks. This is, of course, an extremely good question. It was just such a pity that, life being as it tended to be, it so rarely came as part of a matched pair, with an extremely good answer.--The Steep Approach to Garbadale Iain Banks
