Worldly Quotes (page 208)

It's funny how when you're little, you miss all the little lies. They float right past you, but you don't wonder about them much. For a long time, you think this is just something adults still do after being kids - pretend. Then one day you wake up and realize most of the world you're in is built on someone's make-believe. Virginia C. Andrews
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "You can go other places, all right - you can live on the other..."
You can go other places, all right - you can live on the other side of the world, but you can't ever leave home Sue Monk Kidd
There wasn't a woman alive who could resist a man who paid attention to her, who made her feel like she was the only other person in his world. Sylvia Day
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth. Henry Beston
The task is not to turn the world upside down but in a given place to do what, from the perspecive of reality, is necessary objectively and to really carry it out. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Do you want to change the world? Then change yourself first. Do you want to change yourself? Then remain completely silent inside the silence-sea. Sri Chinmoy
If you invest all your energy in economics, world commerce, parliamentarianism, military engagements, power and power politics, -if you take the quantum of intelligence, seriousness, will, and self-overcoming that you embody and expend it all in this one direction, there there won't be any left for the other direction. Culture and the state - let us be honest with ourselves - these are adversaries. Friedrich Nietzsche
We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace. Albert Schweitzer
While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary. Chinua Achebe
But sometimes, in tight corners, when your back is against the wall and the world is against you, you have to fight back in unexpected ways. Caroline B. Cooney
[…] nobody grows up. Everyone carries around all the selves that they have ever been, intact, waiting to be reactivated in moments of pain, of fear, of danger. Everything is retrievable, every shock, every hurt. But perhaps it becomes a duty to abandon the stock of time that one carries within oneself, to discard it in favour of the present, so that one’s embrace may be turned outwards to the world in which one has made one’s home. Anita Brookner
Sardar Harbans Singh passed away peacefully in a wicker rocking-chair in a Srinigar garden of spring flowers and honeybees with his favourite tartan rug across his knees and his beloved son, Yuvraj the exporter of handicrafts, by his side, and when he stopped breathing the bees stopped buzzing and the air silenced its whispers and Yuvraj understood that the story of the world he had known all his life was coming to an end, and that what followed would follow as it had to, but it would... Salman Rushdie
Emile M. Cioran quote: "True confessions are written with tears only. But my tears..."
True confessions are written with tears only. But my tears would drown the world, as my inner fire would reduce it to ashes. Emile M. Cioran
Twelve thousand miles of it, to the other side of the world. And whether they came home again or not, they would belong neither here, nor there, for they would have lived on two continents and sampled two different ways of life. Colleen McCullough
Mother Teresa quote: "In the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world."
In the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world. Mother Teresa
