Through Quotes (page 57)

Past, present and future are not amenities of language. Time unfolds into the seamsof being. It passes through you, making and shaping. Don DeLillo
We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world. Marcel Proust
At that time the only treatment of angelism, that is, excessive abstraction of the self from itself, was recovery of the self through ordeal. Walker Percy
The instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred C. S. Lewis
Evelyn Waugh quote: "So through a world of piety I made my way to Sebastian."
So through a world of piety I made my way to Sebastian. Evelyn Waugh
To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face; to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the Ultimate Purpose toward which I am working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done... Thomas Dekker
John Steinbeck quote: "And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history:..."
And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed. John Steinbeck
Noel Coward quote: "A.E. Matthews ambled through This Was a Man like a charming..."
A.E. Matthews ambled through This Was a Man like a charming retriever who has buried a bone and can't quite remember where. Noel Coward
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long. Ron Paul
We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand,... Aldous Huxley
Augusten Burroughs quote: "My mother is from Cairo, Georgia. This makes everything she..."
My mother is from Cairo, Georgia. This makes everything she says sound like it went through a curling iron. Augusten Burroughs
Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sens? he is "collective man? one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind. Carl Jung
Joel Rosenberg quote: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no..."
Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil, for I am the meanest son of a bitch in the valley. Joel Rosenberg
Language, at least, may give up the secrets of life and death, leading us through the maze to the original Word as monster or angel, to the mournful place where we may meet Job and hear his cry, 'How long will you vex my soul and break me in pieces with words? Janet Frame
The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom. Paulo Coelho
