The heart of an Irishman is nothing but his imagination
George Bernard Shaw
So with curious eyes and sick surmiseWe watched him day by day,And wondered if each one of usWould end the self-same way,For none can tell to what red HellHis sightless soul may stray.
Oscar Wilde
Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed.
Leo Tolstoy
This look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven.
William Shakespeare
Knowledge is the food of the soul.
Plato
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
Robert Bolt
Thou are never at any time nearer to God than when under tribulation; which he permits for the purifications and beautifying of thy soul.
Molinos
Have you ever sensed that our soul is immortal and never dies?
I'm not a body with a soul, I'm a soul that has a visible part called the body
Paulo Coelho
The soul never thinks without a picture.
Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
There is that in the soul of man which must respond to the highest in virtue. It may not respond at once. Human nature can easily be over-faced by examples too remote and austere. Moreover, human nature can easily deny God because the whole race has long been in rebellion against Him. Yet there is that in human nature which calls out to the supreme examples of virtue: owns, as it were, the intention of God who made it, and feels the unmistakable homesickness of the soul.
W.E. (William Edwin) Sangster, T
The soul's emphasis is always right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The human soul is hospitable, and will entertain conflicting sentiments and contradictory opinions with much impartiality
George Eliot
The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Kahlil Gibran
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul
Besides this I place another equally obvious confirmation of my view that opera is based on the same principles as our Alexandrian culture. Opera is the birth of the theoretical man, the critical layman, not of the artist: one of the most surprising facts in the history of all the arts. It was the demand of throughly unmusical hearers that before everything else the words must be understood, so that according to them a rebirth of music is to be expected only when some mode of singing has been discovered in which textword lords it over counterpoint like master over servant: For the words, it is argued, are as much nobler than the accompanying harmonic system as the soul is nobler than the body.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you purify your soul of attachment to and desire for things, you will understand them spiritually. If you deny your appetite for them, you will enjoy their truth, understanding what is certain in them.
Saint John of the Cross
The soul that is attached to anything however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for, until the cord be broken the bird cannot fly.
