Text Quotes
People don’t really know themselves until they’re 30. Like most people nowadays, I went to university, got a degree and wandered for a bit. I trained to be a chartered accountant, which I didn’t much enjoy, and it was only slowly that the idea of becoming a creative writer gelled  (Becoming Quotes) Nobody gets argued all the way into becoming a believer on the sheer basis of logic and reason. That requires a leap of faith  (Becoming Quotes) You can’t assume any place you go is private because the means of surveillance are becoming so affordable and so invisible  (Becoming Quotes) People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else. No one cared to admit that life was becoming ever poorer, bleaker and more monotonous. The ones who felt this most keenly were the children, because no one had time for them any more. But time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart. And the more people saved, the less they had  (Becoming Quotes) One of life’s quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful even if it is only a floating ash  (Becoming Quotes) A people fired... with love of their country and of liberty, a zeal for the public good, and a noble emulation of glory, will not be disheartened or dispirited by a succession of unfortunate events. But like them, may we learn by defeat the power of becoming invincible  (Becoming Quotes) Our spirits have their own private way of understanding each other, of becoming intimate, while our external persons are still trapped in the commerce of ordinary words, in the slavery of social rules.

If you give people a good book to talk about, you can build a community out of a diverse group. A common language grows out of it  (Becoming Quotes) Memories have ways of becoming independent of the reality they evoke. They can soften us against those we were deeply hurt by or they can make us resent those we once accepted and loved unconditionally  (Becoming Quotes) Once evil is individualized, becoming part of everyday life, the way of resisting it also becomes individual. How does the soul survive? is the essential question. And the response is: through love and imagination  (Becoming Quotes) It was more dangerous not to go; I was running the risk of becoming trapped in my own fantasies. So I was doing the right thing by going. She would behave normally, I would behave normally, and everything would be normal again  (Becoming Quotes) Love is the wanting, and the having, and the choosing, and the becoming. Love is the desire to see the person we love be and become all he or she is capable of being and becoming. Love is a willingness to lay down our own personal plans, desires, and agenda for the good of the relationship. Love is delayed gratification, pleasure, and pain. Love is being able to live and thrive apart, but choosing to be together  (Becoming Quotes) Perhaps I wasn’t going crazy after all. Perhaps I was just becoming a writer  (Becoming 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  (Becoming Quotes) No, no, don’t let my vulnerable heart share in this sacrifice to lust! Let him disgust me before pleasing me! Let him be what others have been, an instrument that I can break before becoming the echoes of its vibration  (Becoming Quotes) Sometimes you do have to laugh to keep from crying. And sometimes the world feels all right and good and kind of like it’s becoming nice again around you. And you realize it, and realize how happy you are in it, and you just gotta laugh  (Becoming Quotes) The same old dumb teachers teaching the same old dumb subjects in the same old dumb school. I seem to be kind of losing interest in everything. At first I thought high school would be fun but it’s just dull. Everything’s dull. Maybe it’s because I’m growing up and life is becoming more blase  (Becoming Quotes) .. if you dread tomorrow, it’s because you don’t know how to build the present, you tell yourself you can deal with it tomorrow, and it’s a lost cause anyway because tomorrow always ends up becoming today, don’t you see?  (Becoming Quotes) For me, the person I was becoming when we left was erased, and another one was created  (Becoming Quotes) Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution. Let my tax money go for the protection of me. Protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property... worry about becoming a human being and not about how you can prevent others from enjoying their lives because of your own inability to adjust to life  (Becoming Quotes) Enlightenment is not about becoming divine. Instead it’s about becoming more fully human... It is the end of ignorance  (Becoming Quotes) If, in our world, there is any chance of becoming the person you haven’t yet become... will I know how to seize that chance, turn my life into a garden that will be completely different from my forebears’?  (Becoming Quotes) Remembrance restores possibility to the past, making what happened incomplete and completing what never was. Remembrance is neither what happened nor what did not happen but, rather, their potentialization, their becoming possible once again  (Becoming Quotes) He could see plainly that she was not herself. That is, he could not see that she was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world  (Becoming Quotes) Certein bodies... become luminous when heated. Their luminosity disappears after some time, but the capacity of becoming luminous afresh through heat is restored to them by the action of a spark, and also by the action of radium  (Becoming Quotes) I make myself up from everything I am, or could be. For many years I was more desire than fact. When I stop becoming, that’s when I worry  (Becoming Quotes) It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young  (Becoming Quotes) Every new medium transforms the nature of human thought. In the long run, history is the story of information becoming aware of itself  (Becoming Quotes)
