Text Quotes

The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness (Abstract Quotes)
There’s no way that scientists can ever rule out religion, or even have anything significant to say about the abstract idea of a divine creator (Abstract Quotes)
It is often my nature to be abstract, hidden in plain sight, or nowhere at all (Abstract Quotes)
The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more you need to seduce the senses to it (Abstract Quotes)
My notion’s to think of the human beings first and let the abstract ideas take care of themselves (Abstract Quotes)

There were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity. Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene (Abstract Quotes)
Children in the abstract, had never appealed to me. They seemed to be loud creatures, often dripping some form of goo (Abstract Quotes)
Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black (Abstract Quotes)
Guilt was a fascinating thing: it seemed not to weaken over time. If anything it grew stronger as the circumstances faded from memory, as the fear and the necessity became abstract. And only her own actions stood out with crystal clarity (Abstract Quotes)
Life is one long struggle between conclusions based on abstract ways of conceiving cases, and opposite conclusions prompted by our instinctive perception of them (Abstract Quotes)
From all these facts there emerges a very simple abstract program for the teacher to follow in keeping the attention of the child: Begin with the line of his native interests, and offer him objects that have some immediate connection with these (Abstract Quotes)
Liberty is not just an idea, an abstract principle. It is power, effective power to do specific things. There is no such thing as liberty in general; liberty, so to speak, at large (Abstract Quotes)
I’ve not seen an effective manager or leader who can’t spend some fraction of time down in the trenches... If they don’t do that they get out of touch with reality, and their whole thought and management process becomes abstract and disconnected (Abstract Quotes)
Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings who represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it (Abstract Quotes)
We shall some day catch an abstract truth by the tail, and then we shall have our religion and our immortality (Abstract Quotes)
The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life (Abstract Quotes)
Abstract pictures are fictive models, because they make visible a reality that we can neither see nor describe, but whose existence we can postulate (Abstract Quotes)
Ordinary language is totally unsuited for expressing what physics really asserts, since the words of everyday life are not sufficiently abstract. Only mathematics and mathematical logic can say as little as the physicist means to say (Abstract Quotes)
Money alone is absolutely good, because it is not only a concrete satisfaction of one need in particular; it is an abstract satisfaction of all (Abstract Quotes)
Developing characters is a strange thing. In the beginning they are abstract and I wonder how to move on from there (Abstract Quotes)
That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography (Abstract Quotes)
One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth (Abstract Quotes)
There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract. The notion that some subjects and methods and that acquaintance with certain facts and truths possess educational value in and of themselves is the reason why traditional education reduced the material of education so largely to a diet of predigested materials (Abstract Quotes)
Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives us equations, not for abstract figures, triangles, squares, and the like, but for the human emotions. If one has a mind which inclines to magic rather than science, one will prefer to speak of these equations as spells or incantations; it sounds more arcane, mysterious, recondite (Abstract Quotes)
I have always been resistant to doctrine, and any spirituality I had experienced thus far in my life had been much more abstract and not aligned with any recognized religion. For me, the most trustworthy vehicle for spirituality had always proven to be music. It cannot be manipulated, or politicized, and when it is, that becomes immediately obvious (Abstract Quotes)
I deliberately and consciously give preference to a dramatic, mythological way of thinking and speaking, because this is not only more expressive but also more exact than an abstract scientific terminology, which is won’t to toy with the notion that its theoretic formulations may one fine day be resolved into algebraic equations (Abstract Quotes)
Our vanity, our passions, our spirit of imitation, our abstract intelligence, our habits have long been at work, and it is the task of art to undo this work of theirs, making us travel back in the direction from which we have come to the depths where what has really existed lies unknown within us (Abstract Quotes)
That’s what I love about poetry. The more abstract, the better. The stuff where you’re not sure what the poet’s talking about. You may have an idea, but you can’t be sure. Not a hundred percent. Each word, specifically chosen, could have a million different meanings (Abstract Quotes)
