Text Quotes
He had been standing still; for an artist, one of the more painful forms of death  (Forms Quotes) The sequoias belong to the silences of the milleniums. Many of them have seen a hundred human generations rise, give off their little clamors and perish. They seem indeed to be forms of immortality standing here amoing the transitory shapes of time  (Forms Quotes) There were thousands and thousands of forms of joy in the world, but that all were essentially one and the same, namely, the joy of being able to love  (Forms Quotes) Character forms a life regardless of how obscurely that life is lived and how little light falls on it from the stars  (Forms Quotes) I do not know much. But there are certain advantages in not knowing. Like virgin territory, the mind is free of preconceptions. Everything I do not know forms the greater part of me: This is my largesse. And with this I understand everything. The things I do not know constitute my truth  (Forms Quotes) Dancing is surely the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression. Nothing else can so effectively give outward form to an inner experience. Poetry and music exist in time. Painting and architecture are a part of space. But only the dance lives at once in both space and time. In it the creator and the thing created, the artist and the expression, are one. Each participates completely in the other. There could be no better metaphor for an understanding of the mechanics of the cosmos  (Forms Quotes) No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment. If it entertains and is clean, it is good literature, or its kind. If it forms the habit of reading, in people who might not read otherwise, it is the best literature  (Forms Quotes) Writing is one of the most ancient forms of prayer. To write is to believe communication is possible that other people are good, that you can awaken their generosity and their desire to do better  (Forms Quotes) And while faith based on theological reasoning is today universally engaged in a bitter struggle with doubt and resistance from the prevailing brand of rationalism, it does seem that the naked fundamental experience itself, that primal seizure of mystic insight, stripped of religious concepts, perhaps no longer to be regarded as a religious experience at all, has undergone an immense expansion and now forms the soul of that complex irrationalism that haunts our era like a night bird lost in the dawn  (Forms Quotes) Christianity taught us to see the eye of the lord looking down upon us. Such forms of knowledge project an image of reality, at the expense of reality itself. They talk figures and icons and signs, but fail to perceive forces and flows. They bind us to other realities, and especially the reality of power as it subjugates us. Their function is to tame, and the result is the fabrication of docile and obedient subjects  (Forms Quotes) The truth is that personality inevitably bleeds into all forms of our intellectual life. We all extrapolate from our own lives in order to understand the world  (Forms Quotes) The world is not a solid continent of facts sprinkled by a few lakes of uncertainties, but a vast ocean of uncertainties speckled by a few islands of calibrated and stabilized forms  (Forms Quotes) The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct  (Forms Quotes) Just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle over geography. That struggle is complex and interesting because it is not only about soldiers and cannons but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings  (Forms Quotes) For the authentic revolutionary conservative, what really counts is to be faithful not to past forms and institutions, but rather to principles of which such forms and institutions have been particular expressions, adequate for a specific period of time and in a specific geographical area  (Forms Quotes) God is love, I said, but art’s the possibility of forms, and shadows are the source of identity  (Forms Quotes) If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish  (Forms Quotes) The caged eagle become a metaphor for all forms of isolation, the ultimate in imprisonment. A zoo is prison  (Forms Quotes) The poet makes himself a voyant through a long, immense reasoned deranging of all his senses. All the forms of love, of suffering, of madness; he tries to find himself, he exhausts in himself all the poisons, to keep only their quintessences  (Forms Quotes) Existential depression has always annoyed me; it is one of the world’s most pointless forms of suffering  (Forms Quotes) We have flooded ourselves with the media in all its many forms. Our minds are now open to signals. We have become aerials  (Forms Quotes) We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all  (Forms Quotes) I’m lazy! I hate work! Hate hard work in all its forms! Clever shortcuts, that’s all I’m about!  (Forms Quotes) I love crystals, the beauty of their forms and formation; liquids, dormant, distilling, sloshing! The fumes, the odors good or bad, the rainbow of colors; the gleaming vessels of every size, shape and purpose  (Forms Quotes) Our society is so caught up in winning, we forget that most of the great men and women in history have, at one time or another, failed at something. Often repeatedly, and discouragingly. But each failure is nothing more than a brick in the wall that forms the foundation of our success. We can’t forget that  (Forms Quotes) Dance, one of the oldest forms of artistic expression, requires only the human body for its realization  (Forms Quotes) It may not be irrelevant to note that even very modest forms of life, like earthworms, dung beetles and fiddler crabs, have no trouble identifying the real problems they must deal with if they are to survive  (Forms Quotes) Dream of a society at peace with its conscience because it respects and lives in harmony with all life forms  (Forms Quotes) ... for limited purposes only, let me define religion as a set of symbolic forms and acts which relate man to the ultimate conditions of his existence  (Forms Quotes) Beautiful forms and compositions are not made by chance, nor can they ever, in any material, be made at small expense. A composition for cheapness and not excellence of workmanship is the most frequent and certain cause of the rapid decay and entire destruction of arts and manufacturers  (Forms Quotes)
