Worldly Things Quotes (page 51)

It's a dark, cool, quiet place. A basement in your soul. And that place can sometimes be dangerous to the human mind. I can open the door and enter that darkness, but I have to be very careful. I can find my story there. Then I bring that thing to the surface, into the real world. Haruki Murakami
If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. Lao Tzu
Happy, even in anguish, is he to whom God has given a soul worthy of love and grief! He who has not seen the things of this world, and the heart of men in this double light, has seen nothing, and knows noting of the truth. Victor Hugo
Carlos Castaneda quote: "The hardest thing in the world is for a warrior to let others be."
The hardest thing in the world is for a warrior to let others be. Carlos Castaneda
In the light of the world's attitude toward woman and her duties, the nature of Carrie's mental state deserves consideration. Actions such as hers are measured by an arbitrary scale. Society possesses a conventional standard whereby it judges all things. All men should be good, all women virtuous. Wherefore, villain, hast thou failed? Theodore Dreiser
And so, he knows. He wants, he needs, to do the immoral, irresponsible thing. He wants to let this boy court his own destruction. He wants to commit that cruelty. Or (kinder, gentler version) he doesn't want to reconfirm his allegiance to the realm of the sensible, all the good people who take responsibility, who go to the right and necessary parties, who sell art made of two-by-fours and carpet remnants. He wants, for at least a little while, to live in that other, darker world - Blake's... Michael Cunningham
She Knows three things:(a) that men are less treacherous than women;(b) that they never notice what a woman is wearing because they're always mentally undressing her,(c) that as long as you've got breasts, thighs, buttocks and belly in good trim, you can conquer the world. Paulo Coelho
Norton Juster quote: "And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you..."
And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer. Norton Juster
Lao Tzu quote: "Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of..."
Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of humility), and manifests it to all the world. Lao Tzu
It hurt when I lost each the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it. Paulo Coelho
Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern. Oscar Wilde
Michael Caine quote: "There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are..."
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch. Michael Caine
She was feeling the pressure of the world outside and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all. F. Scott Fitzgerald
These were the things that built the world. Not to know or care about them was a betrayal of fundamental principles, a betrayal of gender, of species. What could be more useless than a man who couldn't fix a dripping faucet—fundamentally useless, dead to history, to the messages in his genes? I wasn't sure I disagreed. Don DeLillo
There were three of them, three police cars left askew across the road in a way that transcended mere parking. It sent out a massive signal to the world saying that the law was here now taking charge of things, and that anyone who just had normal, good and cheerful business to conduct in Lupton Road could just fuck off. Douglas Adams
