Far Quotes

If you’re faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible Picture Quote #1

Harmony comes gradually to a pilot and his plane. The wing does not want so much to fly true as to tug at the hands that guide it; the ship would rather hunt the wind than lay her nose to the horizon far ahead. She has a derelict quality in her character; she toys with freedom and hints at liberation, but yields her own desires gently Picture Quote #1

I was very far away. My real life had gone underground and could not be seen by anybody. The person at the surface that everybody saw was no longer me Picture Quote #1

Art is not the most precious manifestation of life. Art has not the celestial and universal value that people like to attribute to it. Life is far more interesting Picture Quote #1

In my experience, fear comes from not knowing what to expect and not feeling you have any control over what’s about to happen. When you feel helpless, you’re far more afraid than you would be if you knew the facts Picture Quote #1

I want paint to work as flesh... my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them... As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does Picture Quote #1

No people without a government of their own can expect to be treated on the same level as people of independent sovereign states. It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else Picture Quote #1

I hate it when they tell us how far we’ve came to be; as if our people’s history started with slavery Picture Quote #1

When you’re a child you never figure a grownup is going to be jealous of you. It’s the grownups who seem to have everything. Children give adults far too much credit Picture Quote #1

I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand Picture Quote #1

Secrets are my currency: I deal in them for a living. The secrets of desire, of what people really want, and of what they fear the most. The secrets of why love is difficult, sex complicated, living painful and death so close and yet placed far away. Why are pleasure and punishment closely related? How do our bodies speak? Why do we make ourselves ill? Why do you want to fail? Why is pleasure hard to bear? Picture Quote #1

As far as my opinion on galleries, I think they are a great thing.I see them as another outlet. I’m sure by now you’ve figured out that I do my work for everybody to see. That’s the whole point Picture Quote #1

Strolling on the plateau of life, desperate for the mountain, I never thought that I would get this far. It’s only art that has carried me through, given me faith in my own existence. But now I am approaching a point in my life where I desire more Picture Quote #1

What’s been great about the human race gives you a sense of how great you might get, how far you can reach Picture Quote #1

I have put my pen at the service of some of the most persecuted and misunderstood people in the world. So far as I know nothing of the kind has ever been attempted before in fiction Picture Quote #1

So, as you can readily see from what I have said thus far, a creative, active, sensitive, accurate, empathic, nonjudgmental listening is for me terribly important in a relationship. It is important for me to provide it; it has been extremely important, especially at certain times in my life, to receive it. I feel that I have grown within myself when I have provided it; I am very sure that I have grown and been released and enhanced when I have received this kind of listening Picture Quote #1

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. it certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well intentioned words Picture Quote #1

... we may be able to prove conclusively that all men are born with potentially brilliant intellects... and that the source of cultural creativity is the consciousness that springs from social cooperation and loving interaction... the majority of us live far below our potential, because of the oppressive nature of most societies Picture Quote #1

I don’t teach writing. I teach patience. Toughness. Stubbornness. The willingness to fail. I teach the life. The odd thing is most of the things that stop an inexperienced writer are so far from the truth as to be nearly beside the point. When you feel glosbal doubt about your talent, that is your talent. People who have no talent don’t have any doubt Picture Quote #1

Obama’s rhetorical overtures to democracy, it turned out, were just a decoy to conceal his unwavering determination to govern from the far left Picture Quote #1

The dream world of sleep and the dream world of music are not far apart. I often catch glimpses of one as I pass through a door to the other, like encountering a neighbor in the hallway going into the apartment next to one’s own. In the recording studio, I would often lie down to nap and wake up with harmony parts fully formed in my mind, ready to be recorded. I think of music as dreaming in sound Picture Quote #1

Reading poetry and watching cricket were the sum of my world, and the two are not so far apart as many aesthetes might believe Picture Quote #1

As far as I know, we have never before decided to fight a war with borrowed money and ask generations that come after us to pay for it Picture Quote #1

I died upon that mountain. There is no question. A part of me will forever be upon that mountain. Dead. That’s my brothers died. If there’s a part of me that live, because of my brothers. Because of them I am still alive, and I can never forget, that no matter how much it hurts, how dark it gets, or how far you fall. You are never out of the fight Picture Quote #1

People say it’s not what happens in your life that matters, it’s what you think happened. But this qualification, obviously, did not go far enough. It was quite possible that the central event of your life could be something that didn’t happen, or something you thought didn’t happen. Otherwise there’d be no need for fiction, there’d only be memoirs and histories Picture Quote #1

Climbing for speed records will probably become more popular, a mania which has just begun. Climbers climb not just to see how fast and efficiently they can do it, but far worse, to see how much faster and more efficiently they are than a party which did the same climb a few days before. The climb becomes secondary, no more important than a racetrack. Man is pitted against man Picture Quote #1

Instead of inflicting these horrible punishments, it would be far more to the point to provide everyone with some means of livelihood, so that nobody’s under the frightful necessity of becoming first a thief and then a corpse Picture Quote #1

Nor can they understand why a totally useless substance like gold should now, all over the world, be considered far more important than human beings, who gave it such value as it has, purely for their own convenience Picture Quote #1

Raptors are smart. Very smart. Believe me, all the problems we have so far are nothing compared with what we’d have if the raptors ever got out of their holding pen Picture Quote #1

Psychologically, I will not have to seek far if I decide to kill myself, because in my mind and heart I am more ready for this than for the unplanned daily tribulations that mark off the mornings and afternoons Picture Quote #1
