Which Quotes (page 256)

In this treacherous world. Nothing is the truth nor a lie. Everything depends on the color. Of the crystal through which one sees it Pedro Calderon de la Barca
If someone loves you for what you can do then it's flattering, but why do you love them? If someone loves you for who you are then they have to know you, which means you have to know them. Ann Patchett
He has dreams - not exactly spiritual dreams: but dreams of the tangible and the actual: robust dreams, which take him, not to heaven, but another earth. E. M. Forster
Emile M. Cioran quote: "Bach: a scale of tears upon which our desires for God ascend."
Bach: a scale of tears upon which our desires for God ascend. Emile M. Cioran
The enemy," retorted Yossarian with weighted precision, "is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on Joseph Heller
As I have reviewed the past [several] years, I have made some discoveries. One is that countless experiences I have had were not necessarily those one would consider extraordinary. In fact, at the time they transpired, they often seemed unremarkable and even ordinary. And yet, in retrospect, they enriched and blessed lives—not the least of which was my own. I would recommend this same exercise to you—namely, that you take an inventory of your life and look specifically for the blessings,... Thomas S. Monson
It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them, and that they hadn't heard us calling, still do not hear us, up here in the tree house, with our thinning hair and soft bellies, calling them out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together. Jeffrey Eugenides
The materialist doctrine that men are products of circumstances and upbringing, and that, therefore, changed men are products of other circumstances and changed upbringing, forgets that it is men that change circumstances and that the educator himself needs educating. Hence, this doctrine necessarily arrives at dividing society into two parts, of which one is superior to society (in Robert Owen, for example). The coincidence of the changing of circumstances and of human activity can be... Karl Marx
I've always been impulsive. My thinking is usually pretty good, but I always seem to do it after I do my talking? by which time I've generally destroyed all basis for further conversation. Roger Zelazny
Also, when you are young, you think you can predict the likely pains and bleaknesses that age might bring. You imagine yourself being lonely, divorced, widowed; children growing away from you, friends dying. You imagine the loss of status, the loss of desire? and desirability. You may go further and consider your own approaching death, which, despite what company you may muster, can only be faced alone. But all this is looking ahead. What you fail to do is look ahead, and then imagine... Julian Barnes

I remember the many occasions on which help has come from people whom I though had nothing to add to my life. Paulo Coelho
Mahad had done wrong, but I had been unforgivably trusting, which meant I was fatally dense. I had failed to be suspicious. I deserved my grandma's scorn. I was not allowed to talk back to Grandma, and Ma said nothing to defend me. I could only sob, and seethe. Ayaan Hirsi Ali
It takes a fearless, unflinching love and deep humility to accept the universe as it is. The most effective way he knew to accomplish that, the most powerful tool at his disposal, was the scientific method, which over time winnows out deception. It can't give you absolute truth because science is a permanent revolution, always subject to revision, but it can give you successive approximations of reality. Ann Druyan
Sparta must be regarded as the first vlkisch state. The exposure of the sick, weak, deformed children, in short, their destruction, was more decent and in truth a thousand times more human than the wretched insanity of our day which preserves the most pathological subject. Adolf Hitler
Khalil Gibran quote: "A madman is not less a musician than you or myself; only the..."
A madman is not less a musician than you or myself; only the instrument on which he plays is a little out of tune. Khalil Gibran
