Which Quotes (page 651)

She resented the fact that her veil, which to her was a symbol of scared relationship to god, had now become an instrument of power, turning the women who wore them into political signs and symbols. Azar Nafisi
For himself, then. For his idea of the world, a world in which men do not use shovels to beat corpses into a more convenient shape for processing. J. M. Coetzee
Institutionalized rejection of difference is an absolute necessity in a profit economy which needs outsiders as surplus people. As members of such an economy, we have all been programmed to respond to the human differences between us with fear and loathing... But we have no patterns for relating across our human differences as equals. As a result, those differences have been misnamed and misused in the service of separation and confusion. Audre Lorde
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "One must require from each one the duty which each one can..."
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The glorious transmutation of autumn had come on: all the vast Canadian shores were clothed with a splendour never seen in France; to which all the pageants of all the kings were as a taper to the sun. Willa Cather
Craig Ferguson quote: "I had lived in fear of the fabled terrifying visions that..."
I had lived in fear of the fabled terrifying visions that assail chronic drinkers, but which had not yet attacked me. Craig Ferguson
Today...no performance can be without its control screen video...its goal is to be hooked up to itself...the mirror phase has given way to the video phase. What develops around the video or stereo culture is not a narcissistic imaginary, but an effect of frantic self-referentiality, a short-circuit which immediately hooks up like with like, and, in doing so, emphasizes their surface intensity and deeper meaninglessness. Jean Baudrillard
John Updike quote: "What is the past, after all, but a vast sheet of darkness in..."
What is the past, after all, but a vast sheet of darkness in which a few moments, pricked apparently at random, shine? John Updike
Like everyone else I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings; a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total. Charlie Chaplin
The way of fortune, is like the Milken Way in the sky; which is a meeting or knot of a number of small stars; not seen asunder, but giving light together. Francis Bacon
Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them. John Calvin
Then came the time for the evening visit to the toilet, for which, in all likelihood, you had waited, all atremble, all day. How relieved, how eased, the whole world suddenly became! How the great questions all simplified themselves at the same instant---did you feel it? Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There are no moments more painful for a parent than those in which you contemplate your child's perfect innocence of some imminent pain, misfortune, or sorrow. That innocence (like every kind of innocence children have) is rooted in their trust of you, one that you will shortly be obliged to betray; whether it is fair or not, whether you can help it or not, you are always the ultimate guarantor or destroyer of that innocence. Michael Chabon
Rita Hayworth quote: "I think all women have a certain elegance about them which is..."
I think all women have a certain elegance about them which is destroyed when they take off their clothes. Rita Hayworth
Khalil Gibran quote: "God has created several doors which open onto truth. He opens..."
God has created several doors which open onto truth. He opens them to all those who knock on them with the hand of faith. Khalil Gibran
