Familiar Things Quotes

Mysteries lie all around us, even in the most familiar things, waiting only to be perceived Picture Quote #1

Most of us prefer to walk backward into the future, a posture that may be uncomfortable but which at least allows us to keep on looking at familiar things as long as we can Picture Quote #1

Familiar things happen, and mankind does not bother about them. It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious Picture Quote #1

The two most engaging powers of a good author are to make new things familiar and familiar things new Picture Quote #1

Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing things differently; it is about seeing familiar things in new ways. When we find new eyes, the unsuspected blessing in work we have done for many years may take us completely by surprise. We can see life in many ways: with the eye, with the mind, with the intuition. But perhaps it is only those who speak the language of meaning, who have remembered how to see with the heart, that life is ever deeply known or served Picture Quote #1

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn’t far away at all. It’s in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for. That for me, is glamor Picture Quote #1

The essential fault of surrealism is that it invents without discovering. To make a clam play an accordion is to invent not to discover. The observation of the unconscious, so far as it can be observed, should reveal things of which we have previously been unconscious, not the familiar things of which we have been conscious plus imagination Picture Quote #1

In this work are exhibited, in a very high degree, the two most engaging powers of an author. New things are made familiar, and familiar things are made new Picture Quote #1

We take a natural interest in novelties, but it is against nature to take an interest in familiar things Picture Quote #1

Usually when someone says a thing is too simple, they’re saying that certain familiar things aren’t there, and they’re seeing a couple maybe that are left, which they count as a couple, that’s all Picture Quote #1

There’s beauty all around our paths, if but our watchful eyes can trace it midst familiar things, and through their lowly guise Picture Quote #1

What affects men sharply about a foreign nation is not so much finding or not finding familiar things; it is rather not finding them in the familiar place Picture Quote #1

It is the first changes among familiar things that make such a mystery of time to the young, afterwards we lose the sense of the mysterious Picture Quote #1
