Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.
One must not trifle with love.
Alfred de Musset
Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul and you answer.
Terri Guillemets
Perhaps, if you knew you were going to die, your senses crammed in as much detail as they could while they still had the chance...
Terry Pratchett
Our conversations turned frequently on the two cardinal points of poetry, the power of exciting the sympathy of the reader by a faithful adherence to the truth of nature, and the power of giving the interest of novelty by the modifying colours of imagination.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Monotheism generally allows for no greys. Ideas are either true or false. Hence, although science develops out of the alchemy of the medieval Christian milieu (derived from Arabic alchemy, which was stimulated by the much earlier Chinese alchemy), science is not understood by the nonscientific monotheistic population. The general Western public mistakenly thinks science presents unalterable truth, as does their religion, rather than theories to be tested and continually discarded to be replaced by new hypotheses, which is the actual scientific method.
Jordan D. Paper
The ministry of prayer, if it be anything worthy of the name, is a ministry of ardor, a ministry of unwearied and intense longing after God and after his holiness.
E.M.Bounds
The encouragement of industry and frugality among the poor, by visits at their own inhabitations; the relief of real distress, whether arising from sickness or other causes; and the prevention.This is the Mission Statement of the Brighton District Society (which she created).
Elizabeth Fry
I'm not one of these guys who's constantly in a relationship, not at all.
Robert Pattinson
Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.
George Washington
The new acts' major influences were movies and their curvy queens Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe. With their big blonde hair, ample breasts, and highly fertile hips, these bombshells inspired women everywhere to exxagerate their own voluptuousness.
Dita Von Teese
To fix the thoughts by writing, and subject them to frequent examinations and reviews, is the best method of enabling the mind to detect its own sophisms, and keep it on guard against the fallacies which it practices on others: in conversation we nat
Samuel Johnson
Beauty is an omnipresence of death and loveliness, a smiling sadness that we discern in nature and all things, a mystic communion that the poet feels.
Charlie Chaplin
I am less to you than your ivory Hermes or your silver Faun. You will like them always. How long will you like me? Till I have my first wrinkle, I suppose. I know, now, that when one loses one's good looks, whatever they may be, one loses everything. Your picture has taught me that. Lord Henry Wotton is perfectly right. Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
Oscar Wilde
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.
Mark Wahlberg
I was having that dream again, the good one where we're all in heaven and never heard of Treegap.
Natalie Babbitt
Man could not live if he were entirely impervious to sadness. Many sorrows can be endured only by being embraced, and the pleasure taken in them naturally has a somewhat melancholy character.(translated 1951)
Emile Durkheim, Suicide, bk. 3,
Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world. It is a product of our own thought. We create it out of whole cloth.(translated 1951)
Emile Durkheim, Suicide, bk. 2,
But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword.
Rick Riordan
I set out to show that there exists single creative activity,which is displayed alike in the arts and in the sciences.It is wrong to think of science as a mechanical record of facts, and it is wrong to think of the arts as remote and private fancies. What makes each human, what makes them universal, is the stamp of the creative mind.
Jacob Bronowski, Science and Hum
When the dead departed, they took away any falsehoods that they might have allowed us to believe while alive; we who are left behind have to embark on a different life, since the dead are no longer here to help us deceive ourselves.
Yiyun Li
Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all.
Rudolph Arnheim, Entropy and Art
It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of supersophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.
Erma Bombeck, If Life Is a Bowl
Amazingly when you add life and consciousness to the equation you can actually explain some of the biggest puzzles of science.
Robert Lanza
I remember when the wave of Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek and these beautiful Hispanic women came into light, and I looked up to them and I loved them, but I was like, 'Where are Middle Eastern women?'
Kim Kardashian
The worst thing about the miracle of modern communications is the Pavlovian pressure it places upon everyone to communicate whenever a bell rings.
Russell Baker, No Cause for Pain
One more dance along the razor's edge finished. Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.
Robert Jordan
The marriage of reason and nightmare which has dominated the 20th century has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape move the specters of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy.
J. G. Ballard, Introduction to t
The life of truth is cold.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men and women belong to different species, and communication between them is a science still in its infancy.
Bill Cosby, Love and Marriage, 1
An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.
Edgard Varese
The earth will never be the same againRock, water, tree, iron, share this greifAs distant stars participate in the pain.A candle snuffed, a falling star or leaf,A dolphin death, O this particular lossA Heaven-mourned; for if no angel criedIf this small one was tossed away as dross,The very galaxies would have lied.How shall we sing our love's song nowIn this strange land where all are born to die?Each tree and leaf and star show howThe universe is part of this one cry,Every life is noted and is cherished,and nothing loved is ever lost or perished.
Madeleine L'Engle
If you're not happy in life then you need to change, calibrate, readjust...flush your negative energy and fill it with positive energy; How do we do that you might ask? well I would start by making others happy, deseases are not the only thing that spreads easy. We are all connected in some form of unseen energy... think how those around you will impact you and make you feel if they were happy?
Al Munoz
Let us save the to-morrows for work
Mark Twain
All in good time is something Cosmic Ordering does not follow.
Stephen Richards
I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.
Andy Warhol
Tremendous indeed is the occult influence of sex-love upon the evolution of organic life. Love and glory, fidelity, emulation, resolution, beauty, strength, and courage are directly inspired by sex-passions.
Arthur Desmond
You don’t make art out of good intentions.
Gustave Flaubert
Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea.
George Orwell
After all, it's not every day a woman is given a kingdom of dreams.
Judith McNaught
From where it came and to where it goes, I wish I knew, like the river knows.
