Definition Quotes

I have a definition of success. For me it’s very simple. It’s not about wealth and fame and power. It’s about how many shining eyes I have around me Picture Quote #1

My favorite definition of the mindful path is the one the reveals itself as you walk down it. You cannot find the path until you step on to it Picture Quote #1

For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it’s all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that’s the definition of spectacle Picture Quote #1

I think the whole definition of a geek is somebody being passionate and focused, and being proud of saying that they’re passionate and focused, on a narrow range of subjects Picture Quote #1

The definition of indecent – when it’s in long, and it’s in hard, and it’s in deep – it’s in decent Picture Quote #1

Think of a single word. We’ll use soul as our example. How do you define soul? Is it the same definition I use? Can it ever be it? My soul is not your soul. Our souls, our definitions, are shaped by the singular and cumulative experiences in our lives, the emotional weight we attach to a concept forever locked in the space behind our own eyes Picture Quote #1

Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics Picture Quote #1

Each generation must assume the responsibility of securing their manhood, their womanhood, the definition of their being on earth that in the final analysis is nationhood Picture Quote #1

As long as anyone anywhere is being made to feel less human, our very definition of humanity is at stake, and we are all vulnerable Picture Quote #1

Horror by definition is the emotion of pure revulsion. Terror of the same standard, is that of fearful anticipation Picture Quote #1

We can’t say that we believe in each other’s fundamental humanity and then turn a blind eye to the reality of each others existence and the truth of each other’s hearts. We must be allies. And we must be allies in this business because to be represented is to be humanized. And as long as anyone, anywhere is being made to feel less human, our very definition of humanity is at stake and we are all vulnerable Picture Quote #1

The ultimate definition of success is: you could lose everything that you have and truly be okay with it. Your happiness isn’t based on external factors Picture Quote #1

Sex cannot be contained within a definition of physical pleasure, it cannot be understood as merely itself for it has stood for too long as a profound connection between human beings Picture Quote #1

As with any other great force of nature, there is both glory and danger in the stories we tell ourselves. Some are toxic and keep our problems festering. Others are tonic and bring us beyond the limitations of our previous history. To be in a life of our own definition, we must be able to discover which stories we are following and determine which ones help us grow the most interesting possibilities Picture Quote #1

I tell people if it’s in the news don’t worry about it. Because by definition news is something that almost never happens Picture Quote #1

This is all you have to do. Sit down once a day to the novel and start working without internal criticism, without debilitating expectations, without the need to look at your words as if they were already printed and bound. The beginning is only a draft. Drafts are imperfect by definition Picture Quote #1

If you keep saying two plus two equals five over and over again, then that is what people are going to think. Maybe it does equal five if we keep changing the definition of what’s normal and what’s right and what’s wrong Picture Quote #1

At one point, I worked up a list of five requirements for a superhero: superpowers, a costume, a code name, a mission, and a milieu. If the character had three out of the five, they were a superhero. But that’s just my definition Picture Quote #1

I guess I’m attracted to more archaic words because they can be imbued with more meaning, because their definition is elusive Picture Quote #1

To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results. This is not only intellectually invalid, it is, in practical terms, blinding oneself in advance to some of the unwanted consequences of the process Picture Quote #1

Being an author means, almost by definition, that you make up characters and then complicate their lives. That’s it, really. You make up characters and give them problem after problem after problem Picture Quote #1

How can you possibly be happy if you think you’re a person? Because we all know, just by definition, that people are definitely not happy because they take everything too seriously. They take themselves seriously Picture Quote #1

In the classical spiritual definition, a soul mate is someone that you have reincarnated with many times. You find each other in many lifetimes Picture Quote #1

You start meditation as an average human being who is filled with vagueness and not much purpose or definition, who is controlled by their desires, your mind spins all over the place, your senses spin all over the place, out of control Picture Quote #1

The single definition of government I’ve ever seen that makes sense is that it’s the organization which claims the right to kill people who won’t do what it wants Picture Quote #1

Your first book already defines you, while you are really far from being defined. And this definition is something you may then carry with you for the rest of your life, trying to confirm it or extend or correct or deny it; but you can never eliminate it Picture Quote #1

The next level, by definition, is something you can’t see and you can’t understand Picture Quote #1

I offer something very different from the lifelong career politicians who have worked their way up to run for higher office or those who can parachute in with checks for $5 million or $10 million, and that seems to be the definition of credible or legitimate. I’m rejecting that premise Picture Quote #1

If I had to give a definition of happiness, it would be this: happiness needs nothing but itself; it doesn’t have to be validated Picture Quote #1

It is still your work or role that finally gives you your definition in our society, and the thousands upon thousands of people who I believe are like me are those who have never found the professional skin to fit the riot in their souls Picture Quote #1
