Within Quotes (page 82)

Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves. Victor Hugo
Literature is the one place in any society where, within the secrecy of our own heads, we can hear voices talking about everything in every possible way. The reason for ensuring that that privileged arena is preserved is not that writers want the absolute freedom to say and do whatever they please. It is that we, all of us, readers and writers and citizens and generals and goodmen, need that little, unimportant-looking room. We do not need to call it sacred, but we do need to remember that it... Salman Rushdie
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation, & that is called loving. Herman Hesse
Most people are like a falling leaf as it twists and turns its way through the air, lurches and tumbles to the ground. Others, though? a very few? are like stars set on a fixed course; no wind can reach them, and they carry their law and their path within them. Herman Hesse
But Sam turned to Bywater, and so came back up the Hill, as day was ending once more. And he went on, and there was yellow light, and fire within; and the evening meal was ready, and he was expected. And Rose drew him in, and set him in his chair, and put little Elanor upon his lap. He drew a deep breath. ‘Well, I’m back,’ he said J. R. R. Tolkien
George Eliot quote: "After all, the true seeing is within."
After all, the true seeing is within. George Eliot
I consider books to be good for our health, and also our spirits, and they help us to become poets or scientists, to understand the stars or else to discover them deep within the aspirations of certain characters, those who sometimes, on certain evenings, escape from the pages and walk among us humans, perhaps the most human of us all. Jose Saramago
Mathematics catalogues everything that is not self-contradictory; within that vast inventory, physics is an island of structures rich enough to contain their own beholders. Greg Egan
Dave Pelzer quote: "One could come from less than humble beginnings, to become a..."
One could come from less than humble beginnings, to become a winner from within. Dave Pelzer
Immanuel Kant quote: "Two things inspire me to awe: the starry heavens above and the..."
Two things inspire me to awe: the starry heavens above and the moral universe within. Immanuel Kant
Vain are the beliefs and teachings that make man miserable, and false is the goodness that leads him into sorrow and despair, for it is man's purpose to be happy on this earth and lead the way to felicity and preach its gospel wherever he goes. He who does not see the kingdom of heaven in this life will never see it in the coming life. We came not into this life by exile, but we came as innocent creatures of God, to learn how to worship the holy and eternal spirit and seek the hidden secrets... Khalil Gibran
Marriages performed within,' read the sign next to the coffeehouse door, underneath in small letters a verse that combined warning with a sales pitch: 'When lawless lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin. Toni Morrison
Italo Calvino quote: "The sea where living creatures were at one time immersed is..."
The sea where living creatures were at one time immersed is now enclosed within their bodies. Italo Calvino
Samuel Butler quote: "Truth might be heroic, but it was not within the range of..."
Truth might be heroic, but it was not within the range of practical domestic politics. Samuel Butler
I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything - other people, trees, clouds. And this is what I learned, that the world's otherness is antidote to confusion - that standing within this otherness - the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books - can re-dignify the worst-stung heart. Mary Oliver
