Text Quotes
The critic is genius at one remove; he is not unlike an actor on the stage, and incarnates in his mind, as the actor embodies in his person, another’s work; only thus does he understand art, realize it, know it; and having arrived at this, his task is done (At One Quotes)
... in the business of writing what one accumulates is not expertise but uncertainties. Which is but another name for craft (At One Quotes)
It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly (At One Quotes)
You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know (At One Quotes)
Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world (At One Quotes)
I walk outside and scream at the top of my lungs, and it maybe travels two blocks. A whale unleashes his cry, and it travels hundreds or even thousands of miles. Every whale in the ocean will at one time or another run into that song. And I figure whales probably don’t edit. If they think it, they say it... Whale talk is the truth, and in a very short period of time, if you’re a whale, you know exactly what it is to be you (At One Quotes)
Another person’s life, observed from the outside, always has a shape and definition that one’s own life lacks (At One Quotes)
To think is to confine yourself to a single thought that one day stands still like a star in the world’s sky (At One Quotes)
I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they are turned to loving, they will find that we are turned to hating (At One Quotes)
Never underestimate the power that one good workout can have on your mind. Keeping the dream alive is half the battle (At One Quotes)
Hope is the greatest madness. What can we expect of a world that we enter with the assurance of seeing our fathers and mothers die? A world where, if two beings love each other and give their lives to each other, both can be sure that one will watch the other perish? (At One Quotes)
Now I understand that one of the important reasons for going to college and getting an education is to learn that the things you’ve believed in all your life aren’t true, and that nothing is what it appears to be (At One Quotes)
It is not by believing but by doubting that one can attain to the truth, which is ever changing form and condition (At One Quotes)
He thinks of that ocean house and wishes he were back in his former life or that one could take one moment and remain inside it like an egg inside its shell, instead of constantly being hurried into the future by good luck or bad (At One Quotes)
It was the essence of life to disbelieve in death for one’s self, to act as if life would continue forever. And life had to act also as if little issues were big ones. To take a realistic attitude toward life and death meant that one lapsed into unreality. Into insanity. It was ironic that the only way to keep one’s sanity was to ignore that one was in an insane world or to act as if the world were sane (At One Quotes)
We both wondered whether these contradictions that one can’t avoid if one begins to think of time and space may not really be proofs that the whole of life is a dream, and the moon and stars bits of nightmare (At One Quotes)
You said you didn’t want to get involved with me,that one of us would get hurt and how you couldn’t bear it. Well that just isn’t good enough.. Look what happens to people just living their lives. They get hurt, it’s not fair they get hurt but they do, all the time, no matter how careful they are. Somebody can just just come along and hurt them, for no stupid reason (At One Quotes)
If we have not struggled/as hard as we can/at our strongest/how will we sense/the shape of our losses/or know what sustains/us longest or name/what change costs us,/saying how strange/it is that one sector/of the self can step in/for another in trouble,/how loss activates/a latent double, how/we can feed/as upon nectar/upon need? (At One Quotes)
It’s funny, how one can look back on a sorrow one thought one might well die of at the time, and know that one had not yet reckoned the tenth part of true grief (At One Quotes)
Intelligent people know they are intelligent. They also know that one person cannot know all, hence a person is not stupid simply because he is ignorant of one thing or another. They know that, to another intelligent person, they will not appear stupid in asking for an explanation of what they do not know, and so their ignorance on any particular issue does not become an embarrassment (At One Quotes)
They were maps that lived, maps that one could study, frown over, and add to; maps, in short, that really meant something (At One Quotes)
Her cake is a failure, but she is loved anyway. She is loved, she thinks, in more or less the way the gifts will be appreciated: because they have been given with good intentions, because they exist, because they are part of a world in which one wants what one gets (At One Quotes)
It is only through literature that one can put oneself in someone else’s shoes and understand the other’s different and contradictory sides and refrain from becoming too ruthless. Outside the sphere of literature only one aspect of individuals is revealed. But if you understand their different dimensions you cannot easily murder them (At One Quotes)
The point is... to live one’s life in the full complexity of what one is, which is something much darker, more contradictory, more of a maelstrom of impulses and passions, of cruelty, ecstacy, and madness, than is apparent to the civilized being who glides on the surface and fits smoothly into the world (At One Quotes)
You can choose to die. You can choose to run... but dying alone won’t change a thing. Trust me on that one. If you really want things to change... you’re going to have to live (At One Quotes)
When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings (At One Quotes)
Do you have children? she asked. No. Why? The man answered that one had to have faith in the world to have children (At One Quotes)
And wasn’t it terrible, how much he looked forward to those moments, so much so that sometimes even a ride by himself on the subway was the best part of the day? Wasn’t it terrible that after all the work one put into finding a person to spend one’s life with, after making a family with that person, even in spite of missing that person... that solitude was what one relished the most, the only thing that, even in fleeting, diminished doses, kept one sane? (At One Quotes)
She thought of how much people changed you. It was the opposite of what you always heard, that no one could change a person. It wasn’t true. It was only through other people that one ever did change (At One Quotes)
It was something... the way a person’s life picked up speed, the way a life was like a bullet aimed at one final target, impossible to slow or turn aside, and like the bullet, you were ignorant of what you were going to hit, would never know anything except the rush and the impact (At One Quotes)
