Happiness does not lie in amusement; it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself Aristotle
It was too perfect to last,' so I am tempted to say of our marriage. But it can be meant in two ways. It may be grimly pessimistic - as if God no sooner saw two of His creatures happy than He stopped it ('None of that here!'). As if He were like the Hostess at the sherry-party who separates two guests the moment they show signs of having got into a real conversation. But it could also mean 'This had reached its proper perfection. This had become what it had in it to be. Therefore of course it... C. S. Lewis
Alfred Lord Tennyson quote: "For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw..."
For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be. Alfred Lord Tennyson
The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. I would not interfere with any one's religion, either to strengthen it or to weaken it. I am not able to believe one's religion can affect his hereafter one way or the other, no matter what that religion may be. But it may easily be a great comfort to him in this life--hence it is a valuable possession to him. Mark Twain
Under these conditions it is no wonder, that the movement of atheists, which declares religion to be just a deliberate illusion, invented by power-seeking priests, and which has for the pious belief in a higher Power nothing but words of mockery, eagerly makes use of progressive scientific knowledge and in a presumed unity with it, expands in an ever faster pace its disintegrating action on all nations of the earth and on all social levels. I do not need to explain in any more detail that... Max Planck
No it's not!" said Constable Visit. "Atheism is a denial of a god."Therefore It Is A Religious Position," said Dorfl. "Indeed, A True Atheist Thinks Of The Gods Constantly, Albeit In Terms of Denial. Therefore, Atheism Is A Form Of Belief. If The Atheist Truly Did Not Believe, He Or She Would Not Bother To Deny. Terry Prachett
Daisy Ashford quote: "My life would be sour grapes and ashes without you"
My life would be sour grapes and ashes without you Daisy Ashford
I am incomplete without my work. I am so closely bound to it, so much identified by it, that without it I think I would crumble into dust and drift away. Terry Brooks
Now I found it in writing sentences. You can write that sentence in a way that you would have written it last year. Or you can write it in the way of the exquisite nuance that is sriting in your mind now. But that takes a lot of ... waiting for the right word to come. Joseph Campbell
For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver. Virginia Woolf
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "People, in general, would rather die than forgive. It's that..."
People, in general, would rather die than forgive. It's that hard. Sue Monk Kidd
Robert H. Schuller quote: "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? Robert H. Schuller
A rose by any other name. Would get the blame. For being what it is--The colour of a kiss, The shadow of a flame. A rose may earn another name, So call it love; So call it love I will, And love is like the sea, Which changes constantly, And yet is still. The same. Tanith Lee
Someone real," I hear myself saying. "Someone who never has to pretend, and who I never have to pretend around. Someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. Someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because he understands music can be too big for words. Someone who knows me better than I know myself. Someone I want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Someone I feel like I've known my whole life, even if I haven't. Jodi Picoult
Jane Austen quote: "If I could but know his heart, everything would become easy."
If I could but know his heart, everything would become easy. Jane Austen
