True Quotes (page 138)

Nobody believes me when I say that my long book is an attempt to create a world in which a form of language agreeable to my personal aesthetic might seem real. But it is true. J. R. R. Tolkien
It is true that words have power, and one of the things they are able to do is get out of someone’s mouth before the speaker has the chance to stop them. Terry Prachett
Stephen King quote: "Take the dead from the dead, the old proverb said; only a..."
Take the dead from the dead, the old proverb said; only a corpse may speak true prophecy. Stephen King
Obedience, fasting, and prayer are laughed at, yet only through them lies the way to real true freedom. I cut off my superfluous and unnecessary desires, I subdue my proud and wanton will and chastise it with obedience, and with God's help I attain freedom of spirit and with it spiritual joy. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Friendship however is a plant which cannot be forced -- true friendship is no gourd spring up in a night and withering in a day. Charlotte Bronte
Terry Tempest Williams quote: "There is no one true church, no one chosen people."
There is no one true church, no one chosen people. Terry Tempest Williams
This was sheer idleness to my fellow-townsmen, no doubt; but if the birds and flowers had tried me by their standard, I should not have been found wanting. A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence. Henry David Thoreau
What a silly thing love is!' said the student as he walked away. 'It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true. In fact, it is quite unpractical, and, as in this age to be practical is everything, I shall go back to philosophy and study metaphysics.' So he returned to his room and pulled out a great dusty book, and began to read. Oscar Wilde
Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it. We need equality. Kinda now. Joss Whedon
...How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face... "When You Are Old And Gray William Butler Yeats
I know that's what people say-- you'll get over it. I'd say it, too. But I know it's not true. Oh, youll be happy again, never fear. But you won't forget. Every time you fall in love it will be because something in the man reminds you of him. Betty Smith
Frank Zappa quote: "A true Zen saying: "Nothing is what I want."
A true Zen saying: "Nothing is what I want. Frank Zappa
Why should you think that I should woo in scorn? Scorn and derision never come in tears: Look, when I vow, I weep; and vows so born, In their nativity all truth appears. How can these things in me seem scorn to you, Bearing the badge of faith, to prove them true? William Shakespeare
George R. R. Martin quote: "The longer he lived, the more Tyrion realized that nothing was..."
The longer he lived, the more Tyrion realized that nothing was simple and little was true. George R. R. Martin
The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant’s existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. The ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes these stages moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and... Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
