Text Quotes
Contemplation is an alternative consciousness that refuses to identify with or feed what are only passing shows. It is the absolute opposite of addiction, consumerism or any egoic consciousness  (Absolute Quotes) The 25th anniversary of the decision... is a call to people of good will to reflect. Now is the time for recommitment to the building of a culture of absolute respect for life  (Absolute Quotes) In the eyes of dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred  (Absolute Quotes) There is no repose for the mind except in the absolute; for feeling, except in the infinite; for the soul, except in the divine  (Absolute Quotes) The feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have  (Absolute Quotes) It is an absolute perfection... to get the very most out of one’s individuality  (Absolute Quotes) There is no perfect justice, just as there is no absolute in ethics. But there is perfect injustice, and we know it when we see it  (Absolute Quotes) Gratitude is the proper response for the absolute astonishment of getting to be alive, and aware, and an essential part of this crazy, sprawling story  (Absolute Quotes) For me work is an absolute necessity, indeed I can’t really drag it out, I take no more pleasure in anything than in work, that’s to say, pleasure in other things stops immediately and I become melancholy if I can’t get on with the work  (Absolute Quotes) ... the right to free expression is something one seizes, not something one is given... if it does exist, it exists to be used against the established order... There is absolute opposition between the artist and the state  (Absolute Quotes) All ego really is, is our opinions, which we take to be solid, real, and the absolute truth about how things are  (Absolute Quotes) My idea of absolute happiness is to be in bed on a rainy day, with my blankie, my cat, and my dog  (Absolute Quotes) Among the things that you, and you alone, are the absolute and final judge of is whether or not you are a success  (Absolute Quotes) Action is limited and relative. Unlimited and absolute is the vision of him who sits at ease and watches, who walks in loneliness and dreams  (Absolute Quotes) One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat  (Absolute Quotes) The photograph is the most perfect picture. It does not change; it is absolute, and therefore autonomous, unconditional, devoid of style. Both in its way of informing, and in what it informs of, it is my source  (Absolute Quotes) A nation of slaves is always prepared to applaud the clemency of their master who, in the abuse of absolute power, does not proceed to the last extremes of injustice and oppression  (Absolute Quotes) Even those who have the weakest souls could acquire absolute mastery over all their passions if we employed sufficient ingenuity in training and guiding them  (Absolute Quotes) Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have  (Absolute Quotes) Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things  (Absolute Quotes) The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable, reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past  (Absolute Quotes) I maintain the importance of an absolute prohibition against torture, while acknowledging that even absolute prohibitions can sometimes be broken. If that is a contradiction, it is a contradiction that ethics has to embrace, or else it becomes like glass: hard, clear, but fatally inflexible  (Absolute Quotes) Bad is not an absolute, but a relative term. Ask the robber who used the cash he stole to feed his infant; the rapist who was sexually abused as a child; the kidnapper who truly believed he was saving a life. And just because you break the law doesn’t mean you have intentionally crossed the line into evil. Sometimes the line creeps up on you, and before you know it, you’re standing on the other side  (Absolute Quotes) The thought came over me that never would one full and absolute moment, containing all the others, justify my life, that all of my instants would be provisional phases, annihilators of the past turned to face the future, and that beyond the episodic, the present, the circumstantial, we were nobody  (Absolute Quotes) There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught  (Absolute Quotes) I’ve always been a very restless person. I work hard, spend too much time looking after my son, I dance like a mad thing, I learned calligraphy. I go to courses on selling, I read one book after another. But that’s all a way of avoiding those moments when nothing is happening, because those blank spaces give me a feeling of absolute emptiness, in which not a single crumb of love exists  (Absolute Quotes) For reasons he couldn’t understand a sadness came over him and it was then he saw the girl standing on the other side of the dirt road, her eyes pools of absolute sorrow, her light brown hair glowing in the splinters of sunlight that forced their way through the trees  (Absolute Quotes) All of us carry around countless bags of dusty old knickknacks dated from childhood: collected resentments, long list of wounds of greater or lesser significance, glorified memories, absolute certainties that later turn out to be wrong. Humans are emotional pack rats. These bags define us  (Absolute Quotes) Wealth is not an absolute. It is relative to desire. Every time we yearn for something we cannot afford, we grow poorer, whatever our resources. And every time we feel satisfied with what we have, we can be counted as rich, however little we may actually possess  (Absolute Quotes) When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we’d be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing  (Absolute Quotes)
