Where We Come Quotes

Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are. Joyce Carol Oates
When you meet a man who is broken, pick him up and carry him. When you meet a woman who’s broken, put her all into your arms. Cause we don’t know where we come from … we don’t know where we are. Laurie Anderson
I believe in an individual soul which travels through eternity. This life is far from all there is--in fact, it is a minute part, simply an antechamber, a deciding place where we choose the light from the dark, where we come to know what we truly value. Anne Perry
What we have in life that we can count on is who we are and where we come from, she thought absently. For better or worse, that is what we have to sustain us in our endevors, to buttress us in our darker moments, and to remind us of our identity. Without those things, we are adrift. Terry Brooks
Because of the earth’s roundness, Genghis Khan, in the fever of possession and destruction, hastened his own overthrow by invading lands that he had already razed and conquered. Not only is it impossible to know from where we come, but also from whom we come: nothing in common, in any case, with those who pass for being the “authors of our days” – which days? Better to invent a genealogy based on pure whim and the leanings of our hearts, but what if they don’t agree? Andre Breton
And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible. Alan Rickman
Even if we no longer have much in common, we would have always had the past, which, in some ways, is just as important as the present or future. It is where we come from, what makes us who we are. Emily Giffin
That’s how people live, by telling stories. What’s the first thing a kid says when he learns how to talk? “Tell me a story.” That’s how we understand who we are, where we come from. Stories are everything. Jeffrey Eugenides
In our own, theatre can be the place where we come together, reaching with and through stories, to who we are and to who we can be. Juliet Stevenson
I understood, through rehab, things about creating characters. I understood that creating whole people means knowing where we come from, how we can make a mistake and how we overcome things to make ourselves stronger. Samuel L. Jackson
Glenn Beck quote: "Always remember where we come from, how we got here, and Who..."
Always remember where we come from, how we got here, and Who led us into the warmth of the sunshine. Glenn Beck
All of us have moments in our childhood where we come alive for the first time. And we go back to those moments and think, This is when I became myself. Rita Dove
Jack Kirby quote: "Aw, where we come from the Anti-Life Equation is one of many..."
Aw, where we come from the Anti-Life Equation is one of many others--almost as awesome!! But they merely exist!! Jack Kirby
Swami Vivekananda quote: "The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make..."
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong. Swami Vivekananda
We have only to follow the thread of the hero path. And where we had thought to find an abomonation, we shall find a God. And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves. And where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world. Joseph Campbell
