Worldly Quotes (page 575)

To see a world in a grain of sandAnd a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternity in an hour. William Blake
There is a thought among some brands of theology that souls are waiting up in heaven to be born. Now how in the world anybody comes up with that is beyond me, and how you can be so sure of that is also beyond me. I always like to go back to Snoopy's theological writings, which he called, "Has It Ever Occurred to You That You Might Be Wrong." And that's the way I feel. These things fascinate me, and I like to talk about them with other people, and hear what they think. But I'm always a little... Charles M. Schulz
Suffering invites us to place our hurts in larger hands. In Christ we see God suffering – for us. And calling us to share in God’s suffering love for a hurting world. The small and even overpowering pains of our lives are intimately connected with the greater pains of Christ. Our daily sorrows are anchored in a greater sorrow and therefore a larger hope. Henri Nouwen
But now, as it is, sorrows, unending sorrows must surge within your heart as well—for your own son’s death. Never again will you embrace him stiding home. My spirit rebels—I’ve lost the will to live, to take my stand in the world of men— Homer
writing is like being in love. You never get better at it or learn more about it. The day you think you do is the day you lose it. Robert Frost called his work a lover's quarrel with the world. It's ongoing. It has neither a beginning nor an end. You don't have to worry about learning things. The fire of one's art burns all the impurities from the vessel that contains it. James Lee Burke
At night, when the objective world has slunk back into its cavern and left dreamers to their own, there come inspirations and capabilities impossible at any less magical and quiet hour. No one knows whether or not he is a writer unless he has tried writing at night. H. P. Lovecraft
Poppy Z. Brite quote: "If you want something, you don't wait for the world to deal it..."
If you want something, you don't wait for the world to deal it out for you. You take it. Poppy Z. Brite
There are no happy endings... There are no endings, happy or otherwise. We all have our own stories which are just part of the one Story that binds both this world and Faerie. Sometimes we step into each others stories - perhaps just for a few minutes, perhaps for years - and then we step out of them again. But all the while, the Story just goes on. Charles de Lint
The world will give you that once in awhile, a brief timeout; the boxing bell rings and you go to your corner, where somebody dabs mercy on your beat-up life. Sue Monk Kidd
Alan Paton quote: "This world is full of trouble, umfundisi."
This world is full of trouble, umfundisi. Alan Paton
Michel de Montaigne quote: "The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to..."
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself. Michel de Montaigne
I think people who truly can live a life in music are telling the world, ‘You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don’t need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it’s the very best, and it’s the part I give most willingly George Harrison
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Her existence alone was excuse enough to justify the creation..."
Her existence alone was excuse enough to justify the creation of the entire world. Stephenie Meyer
Khalil Gibran quote: "An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind."
An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind. Khalil Gibran
Oscar Wilde quote: "To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except..."
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable. Oscar Wilde
