We Cannot Quotes (page 37)

Rene Magritte quote: "An object is not so attached to its name that we cannot find..."
An object is not so attached to its name that we cannot find another one that would suit it better. Rene Magritte
Listen, I would say, this is not how I thought our lives would go; and may be we cannot find our way out of this alley. But there is no one I'd rather be lost with. Jodi Picoult
The final test of a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, of anything else which we cannot define. E. M. Forster
Consummation is consumption. We cannot consummate our bliss and not consume. All joys are cakes and vanish in eating. All bliss is sugar's melting in the mouth. Wilfred Owen
Now, if there were an Olympics for misleading, mismanaging and misappropriating then this administration would take the gold, world-records for violations of national and international law. They want another four year term to continue to alienate our allies, spend our children's inheritance and hollow out the economy. We cannot afford another Republican administration. Dennis Kucinich
The large, gaping flaws in the construction of the stories--mad wives in the attic, strange apparitions in Belgium--are a representation of the life she could not face; these gothic subterfuges represent the mind at a breaking point, frantic to find any way out. If the flaws are only to be attributed to the practicce of popular fiction of the time, we cannot then explain the large amount of genuine feeling that goes into them. They stand for the hidden wishes of an intolerable life. Elizabeth Hardwick
Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners. Edward Abbey
The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of. Samuel Beckett
Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence neither speed up nor slow down add to nor diminish it is an imponderably valuable gift. Maya Angelou
And once he had seen this, he could never again see it otherwise, just as we cannot reconstruct an illusion once it has been explained. Leo Tolstoy
There is a place within each of us where we cannot hide from the truth, where virtue sits as judge. To admit the truth of our actions is to go before that court, where process is irrelevant. Good and evil are intents, and intent is without excuse. R. A. Salvatore
Marcus Aurelius quote: "What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be..."
What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne. Marcus Aurelius
Corrie Ten Boom quote: "Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way . . . God can..."
Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way . . . God can give us the perfect way. Corrie Ten Boom
Dietrich Bonhoeffer quote: "For we cannot speak of the beginning; where the beginning..."
For we cannot speak of the beginning; where the beginning begins our thinking stops, it comes to an end. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It's just harder out there in the world of the living, and we cannot protect you out there as easily. I wanted to keep you perfectly safe...But there is only one perfectly safe place for your kind, and you will not reach it until all your adventures are over and none of them matter any longer. Neil Gaiman
