Text Quotes
Truth offends everyone outside its definitions. But the irony of truth is that the greater its potential for offense, the greater its potential for giving hope  (Definitions Quotes) The errors of definitions multiply themselves according as the reckoning proceeds; and lead men into absurdities, which at last they see but cannot avoid, without reckoning anew from the beginning  (Definitions Quotes) The reality we live in is selected by our conceptual definitions. You and I may be in the same physical space, but each of us will see it as entirely different  (Definitions Quotes) Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship  (Definitions Quotes) Like navigation markings in unknown waters, definitions of poverty need to be distinctive and unambiguous. A definition that is not precise is as bad as no definition at all  (Definitions Quotes) Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?  (Definitions Quotes) The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it’s beyond that. It is the very sense of being, or presence, that is there when you become conscious of the present moment. In essence, you and what we call the present moment are, at the deepest level, one  (Definitions Quotes) Yet human experience and the practice of communication have shown throughout the ages that definitions are an illusion, like having a speech defect and trying to say love but unable to get the word out, or, better, having a tongue in one’s head but unable to feel love  (Definitions Quotes) While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science’s reach  (Definitions Quotes) Extinction has only separated groups: it has by no means made them; for if every form which has ever lived on this earth were suddenly to reappear, though it would be quite impossible to give definitions by which each group could be distinguished from other groups, as all would blend together by steps as fine as those between the finest existing varieties, nevertheless a natural classification, or at least a natural arrangement, would be possible  (Definitions Quotes) The greater the scientist, the more he is impressed with his ignorance of reality, and the more he realizes that his laws and labels, descriptions and definitions, are the products of his own thought. They help him to use the world for purposes of his own devising rather than understand and explain it  (Definitions Quotes) Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students, of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own  (Definitions Quotes) It is odd how learned persons fail to see that new terms and definitions are apt to mean new doubts and litigation  (Definitions Quotes) The limits of the body seem well defined enough as definitions go, but definitions seldom go far  (Definitions Quotes) Every artist feels alone and isolated, friends are very important in terms of all sorts of definitions of oneself. They tell you what you are and what they are aside from the intellectual aspects  (Definitions Quotes) Men have laid down the rules and definitions by which the world is run, and one of the objects of their definitions is woman  (Definitions Quotes) He who has the bigger stick has the better chance of imposing his definitions of reality  (Definitions Quotes) Those objecting to the concept of race argue that the taxonomic definitions are arbitrary and subjective  (Definitions Quotes) Law builds upon and, I should like to claim, is one of the liberal arts. It uses words of persuasion and changing definitions for practical ends  (Definitions Quotes) Although the legal and ethical definitions of right are the antithesis of each other, most writers use them as synonyms. They confuse power with goodness, and mistake law for justice  (Definitions Quotes) What is a weed? I have heard it said that there are sixty definitions. For me, a weed is a plant out of place  (Definitions Quotes) There are many words and definitions I have never lost. But some I am only just beginning to truly understand  (Definitions Quotes) Logic issues in tautologies, mathematics in identities, philosophy in definitions; all trivial, but all part of the vital work of clarifying and organising our thought  (Definitions Quotes) The simple sense of wonder at the shapes of things, and at their exuberant independence of our intellectual standards and our trivial definitions, is the basis of spirituality  (Definitions Quotes) Definitions, contrary to popular opinion, tell us nothing about things. They only describe people’s linguistic habits; that is, they tell us what noises people make under what conditions  (Definitions Quotes) Amongst the many definitions, there is one that may be generally agreed upon: modernity is the epoch in which simply being modern became a decisive value in itself  (Definitions Quotes) I have never turned a trick in my life, and I just resent the American definitions of ‘sex slave’ and ‘prostitute’ so much. I was a mistress!  (Definitions Quotes) With bisexuality, there’s so much out there in terms of what that means and there are so many definitions, and it’s about finding out what’s right for you  (Definitions Quotes) There have been many definitions of beauty in art. What is it? Beauty is what the untrained eyes consider abominable  (Definitions Quotes) Definitions are the guardians of rationality, the first line of defense against the chaos of mental disintegration  (Definitions Quotes)
