Touching Quotes (page 13)

As Einstein said, God does not play dice with the universe; everything is interconnected and has a meaning. That meaning may remain hidden nearly all the time, but we always know we are close to our true mission on earth when what we are doing is touched with the energy of enthusiasm. Paulo Coelho
Henrik Ibsen quote: "Everything I touch seems destined to turn into something mean..."
Everything I touch seems destined to turn into something mean and farcical. Henrik Ibsen
It took be less than half a lifetime to realize that regret is one of the few guaranteed certainties. Sooner or later everything is touched by it, despite our naive and senseless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart. Jonathan Carroll
A here exists only in relation to a there, not the other way around. There's this only because there's that; if we don't look up, we'll never know what's down. Think of it, boy. We find ourselves only by looking what we're not. You can't put your feet on the ground until you've touched the sky. Paul Auster
Piers Anthony quote: "Evil can never touch the person who refuses to accept it."
Evil can never touch the person who refuses to accept it. Piers Anthony
I do not live happily or comfortably. With the cleverness of our times. The talk is all about computers, The news is all about bombs and blood. This morning, in the fresh field, I came upon a hidden nest. It held four warm, speckled eggs. I touched them. Then went away softly, Having felt something more wonderful. Than all the electricity of New York City. Mary Oliver
I laugh at those who think they can damage me. They do not know who I am, they do not know what I think, they cannot even touch the things which are really mine and with which I live. Epictetus
He will show you how, during the springtime of life, illusions, innocent hopes, silver threads of gossamer, descend from heaven and return there without ever touching the earth. Honore de Balzac
Aldous Huxley quote: "The leech's kiss, the squid's embrace, The prurient ape's..."
The leech's kiss, the squid's embrace, The prurient ape's defiling touch: And do you like the human race? No, not much. Aldous Huxley
To make sure I learned the etiquette of grieving, Granny took me with her to the many funerals she attended. O Death, where is thy sting? Search me. I grew up looking at so many corpses that I still feel a faint touch of surprise whenever I see people move. Florence King
Life was charmed but without politics or religion. It was the life of children of the children of the pioneers -life after God- a life of earthly salvation on the edge of heaven. Perhaps this is the finest thing to which we may aspire, the life of peace, the blurring between dream life and real life - and yet I find myself speaking these words with a sense of doubt. I think there was a trade-off somewhere along the line. I think the price we paid for our golden life was an inability to fully... Doug Coupland
There is nothing more touching to me then a family picture where everyone is trying to look his or her best, but you can see what a mess they all really are. Anne Lamott
Mary Oliver quote: "I held my breath as we do sometimes to stop time when..."
I held my breath as we do sometimes to stop time when something wonderful has touched us... Mary Oliver
Tuesday night I reorganized my record collection. I often do this at periods of emotional stress. There are some people who would find this a pretty dull way to spend an evening, but I'm not one of them. This is my life, and it's nice to be able to wade in it, immerse your arms in it, touch it. Nick Hornby
People talk about medium. What is your medium? My medium as a writer has been dirt, clay, sand--what I could touch, hold, stand on, and stand for--Earth. My medium has been Earth. Earth in correspondence with my mind. Terry Tempest Williams
