But the truth is that critics are by definition critical. That's their job.
Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.
Thich Nhat Hanh
You enter the forestat the darkest point,where there is no path.Where there is a way or path,it is someone else's path.You are not on your own path.If you follow someone else's way,you are not going to realizeyour potential.
Joseph Campbell
People happy in love have an air of intensity.
Stendhal
[I]n any profession the highest order of work is achieved, not by fussy empirical demands for 'something to be done,' but by patient study of the eternal laws.
Henry Whitehead
...who would have known the dark eyes staring into mine would become our children's eyes...?
John Geddes
Life goes on in the same manner,evil wins and peace is slaughtered.Change the channel, change the view,tired of the same reruns on the evening news.
Susie Clevenger
To be successful, you need to do two things:1. Condition your hair,2. Do the same with your mind.
Manhardeep Singh Ahluwalia
If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it walls, and we will furnish it with soft, red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweller's felt so that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Emptiness and the not-I is the quality that arises when the therapist consciously moves out of his own way without hindering the therapeutic process through his own ideas, attitudes, expectations and concepts. He is present, available and responds with the truth in the moment.
Swami Dhyan Giten
Wonderful art can spring from misery,I'm the last person to deny that.I'd go even further:the best works of art of all time are probably stemmed from the deep human sorrow or hellish frustration,the death of a loved one or a divorce and yes:jealousy.Heartache and impotence as the man-spring for making the unverifiable verifiable and for giving it face.How romantic,beautiful and especially useful pain and misery can be.
Esther Verhoef
The embrace of a new technology by ordinary people leads inevitably to its embrace by people of malign intent.
Charles C. Mann
I was there to see beautiful naked women. So was everybody else. It's a common failing.
Robert A. Heinlein
Love as thou wilt
Jacqueline Carey
I got my heart's desire, and there my troubles began.
Lev Grossman
I have never had a social life, don't ever want one because it's boring. I'm just not very good with people, and you meet people every night who expect you to be this rock star with these developed social skills, which I don't have.
Daniel Johns
Like most novelists, I like to do exactly the opposite of what I'm told. It's in my nature as a novelist. Novelists can't trust anything they haven't seen with their own eyes or touched with their own hands. (Jerusalem Prize acceptance speech, JERUSALEM POST, Feb. 15, 2009)
Haruki Murakami
I can do nothing without His help. Oh, Lord, what ignorance thinking everything was wealth.
Venus Angelica Perez
For those scientists who take it seriously, Darwinian evolution has functioned more as a philosophical belief system than as a testable scientific hypothesis. This quasi-religious function of the theory is, I think, what lies behind many of the extreme statements that you have doubtless encountered from some scientists opposing any critical analysis of neo-Darwinism in the classroom. It is also why many scientists make public statements about the theory that they would not defend privately to other scientists like me.
James A. Shapiro
Love is God's essence; Power but his attribute: therefore is his love greater than his power.
Richard Garnett
Looking back you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life- and it was you. It is not too late to find that person again.
Robert Brault
If you can't test it, it's not theorics -- it's metatheorics. A branch of philosophy. So, if you want to think of it this way, our test equipment is what defines the boundary separating theorics from philosophy.
Neal Stephenson
True beauty dwells in deep retreats, Whose veil is unremoved Till heart with heart in concord beats, And the lover is beloved.
William Wordsworth
Unhappiness does not come from the way things are, but from the difference between how things are and how we think they should be
Creflo A. Dollar
I smiled ruefully to myself, knowing I had already experienced a far greater and deeper union with this man than that which propriety was so busy guarding against. I had seen and accepted our fate here, tonight, on the crest of this ancient hill, and all other ceremonies would be just that: rituals to please the people and make public the commitment that had been made in the privacy of my own heart.
Persia Woolley
City people make most of the fuss about the charms of country life.
Mason Cooley
Zeal is that pure and heavenly flame, The fire of love supplies ; While that which often bears the name, Is self in a disguise. True zeal is merciful and mild, Can pity and forbear ; The false is headstrong, fierce and wild, And breathes revenge and war.
John Newton
On the whole, the psychological work of the last quarter of the nineteenth century emphasized the study of consciousness to the neglect of the total life of intellect and character.
Edward Thorndike
To me, the stand up part in my life is great. I know I can do that. When I get an acting chance, I'm really thrilled.
Don Rickles
You are a firework!
Katy Perry
Your feelings wouldn't get hurt if you were honest with yourself
Ty Gray
In the natural state no concept of God can arise, and the false one which one makes for himself is harmful. Hence the theory of natural religion can be true only where there is no science; therefore it cannot bind all men together.
Immanuel Kant
I love my jokes.
Dave Chappelle
I found myself facing a Christian Science Reading Room. My God! It had been eight years. There had never been any renunciation of religion on my part, but like so many people, it was a gradual fading away.
Henry Fonda
I guessed life was like that. You gained and you lost, and if you saved anything from the ruins, even if only a shred of self-respect, it was enough to take you through the next bit.
Dick Francis
It is deeply satisfying to win a prize in front of a lot of people.
E.B. White
It's sad when the people you love most become a bitter memory.
Kiera Forsythe
Enjoy every ounce of your life, get high and be sincere to anybody that comes around you.
Salman Aditya
Do we mean love, when we say love?
Samuel Beckett
What our closest friends do for us is to teach us true selflessness. We learn that while it might be safer for them if we keep them out, true friendship means letting them in. We cannot decide for them what they are willing to suffer with us and for us. While we certainly don't want to see our friends suffer, friendship isn't about protecting each other from pain so much as it is about helping each other to become what God has called us to be.
Mark Mossa
So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each man's genius contracts itself to a very few hours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
