Forms Quotes

To permit writers to use forms which violate convention just might permit writers to develop forms which would teach people to think differently: not to think about different things, but to think in different ways Picture Quote #1

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination prejudice Picture Quote #1

What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary Picture Quote #1

But the long tunnels of art through which I walked in Rome that day had no ragged edges, cowardly colors, or shades of pastel that didn't know what to do with themselves. The wisdom, perfection, and beauty of the colors and forms I passed were more than enough, in their collectivity, to hint at the principles which govern the hereafter, whatever that may be. Indeed, even a detail of one painting can offer solid direction in this regard if one knows how to look Picture Quote #1

He knew very well that love could be like the most beautiful singing, that it could make death inconsequential, that it existed in forms so pure and strong that it was capable of reordering the universe. He knew this, and that he lacked it, and yet as he stood in the courtyard of the Palazzo Venezia, watching diplomats file quietly out the gate, he was content, for he suspected that to command the profoundest love might in the end be far less beautiful a thing than to suffer its absence Picture Quote #1

Thinking in its lower grades is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry Picture Quote #1

Government arrogates to itself that it alone forms men. Everybody knows that government never began anything. It is the whole world that thinks and governs Picture Quote #1

I've been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don't have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms Picture Quote #1

Jesus said that God was not the God of the dead, but of the living. And the other life is not, in fact, thinkable to us except under the same forms as those of this Earthly and transitory life Picture Quote #1

The problem is to extract the desirable traits of forms of community life which actually exist, and employ them to criticize undesirable features and suggest improvement Picture Quote #1

In a potter's shop there are vessels of different shapes and forms - pots, jars, dishes, plates, etc., But all are made of the same clay. So God is one, but He is worshipped in different ages and climes under different names and aspects Picture Quote #1

Many are the names of God, and infinite the forms that lead us to know Him. In whatsoever name or form you desire to call Him, in that very form and name you will see Him Picture Quote #1

Many are the names of God and infinite the forms through which He may be approached Picture Quote #1

All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society Picture Quote #1

The value of books is proportionate to what may be called their plasticity - their quality of being all things to all men, of being diversely moulded by the impact of fresh forms of thought Picture Quote #1
