Found Quotes

You are wrong when you say there is no power in being a woman. When I think of my mother and the women in my tribe, and the hidden women in the harem, I know there are many types of power in this world... I found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life? I don’t think I could do it Picture Quote #1

We don’t own the earth. We are the earth’s caretakers... we take care of it and all the things on it. And when we’re done with it, it should be left better than we found it Picture Quote #1

So I found myself telling my own stories. It was strange: as I did it I realised how much we get shaped by our stories. It’s like the stories of our lives make us the people we are. If someone had no stories, they wouldn’t be human, wouldn’t exist. And if my stories had been different I wouldn’t be the person I am Picture Quote #1

Once we have tasted far streams, touched the gold, found some limit beyond the waterfall, a season changes and we come back changed but safe, quiet, grateful Picture Quote #1

For indeed you have a choice. You can flee and hide, and wait to be found. You can live out your days in terror, without meaning. Or you can take the harder choice, and you can save them Picture Quote #1

He’d come back, all open and helpless, and I suppose that’s what won her around in the end. But it was so sad, because it was being himself that he found so difficult to cope with Picture Quote #1

I am not the same man you found that day! The monster you’ve created has returned, to kill you! Picture Quote #1

You spend so much time wondering who you are, don’t you think? You flounder about, searching for your identity, when most of the time it is plain as the nose on your face. You struggle with questions of purpose and need, and forget that the answers are found mostly inside yourselves Picture Quote #1

I found I was repeating myself. It is the beginning of the end when you discover you have style Picture Quote #1

Often it was the most unlikely people who found within themselves a spark of something greater. It was probably always there, but most people are never tested, and they go through their whole lives without ever knowing that when things are at their worst, they are at their best Picture Quote #1

She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it Picture Quote #1

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life Picture Quote #1

We found ourselves wanting to hurry time along, which was not in the long run good for our health. Everybody was trapped in this contradiction but nobody ever dared to articulate it Picture Quote #1

The fool’s crime is the crime that is found out and the wise man’s crime is the crime that is not found out Picture Quote #1

I saw the logic that they used, and the death of a thousand cuts as experimental scientists slowly chipped away at the belief that the world was an inexplicably powerful, magical place. Ultimately they failed, though. The magic never really went away. It waited, quietly, for people to return to it when they found the science wanting Picture Quote #1

A new life? There’s not such thing. It was only in the magazine headlines that people got a new life. Stopped drinking or taking drugs, found a new love. But the same life Picture Quote #1

To hear people talk, you would think no one ever did anything but love each other. But when you look for it, when you search out this love everyone is always talking about, it is nowhere to be found; and when someone looks for love from you, you find you are not able to give it, you are not able to hold the trust and dreams they want you to hold, any more than you could cradle water in your arms Picture Quote #1

I got lost in him, and it was the kind of lost that’s exactly like being found Picture Quote #1

She would allow him to comfort her. And perhaps, someday, she would listen patiently if a dark, dreary night found him well in his cups and he drunkenly confessed to still feeling scores of wounds that weren’t his own, but those of men under his command Picture Quote #1

She tried to open the bottle, but the top slipped through her fingers without moving. He took the bottle from her hand and opened it with his thumb and index finger. There was nothing special in the gesture and yet she found it strangely fascinating like a small heroic feat performed specially for her Picture Quote #1

That day I think we really saw each other for the first time. I mean, saw beyond the bag of bones on the outside. You take away her pretty and my plain and what you get underneath is about the same: a couple of lost girls looking to be found Picture Quote #1

I never wanted to get to a point in my life where I knew what was going to happen next. I felt like most people just couldn’t wait until they found themselves settled down into a routine and they didn’t have to think about the next day, or the next year, or the next decade because it was all planned out for them. I can’t understand how people can settle for having just one life Picture Quote #1

I wondered why she craved this knowledge and found myself remembering that she was, after all, an anthropologist Picture Quote #1

I believe there are only one or two people in the world with whom one can have a true connection. When you’ve been fortunate enough to marry one of those people, you are reluctant to settle for less. One can have lovers, those are easily found, but true love rarely strikes twice Picture Quote #1

Jake’s mouth found mine, his lips molding hot and soft to my own. His tongue tentatively tested the seal of my lips; I parted them and he pushed inside. It was startlingly sweet and achingly familiar, like finding harbor Picture Quote #1

Of course, I had my heart broken as a teen. I was desperately in love with myself. Then I found out that I was completely shallow. I haven’t spoken to myself since Picture Quote #1

It is not easy to explain how I felt while I read, but I will try. No doubt you, as a reader, will understand. It appeared I found myself in a place where no one could bother me, where no one could reach me. I grew impervious to all the noises around me Picture Quote #1

Tis a strange thing, that the only friends I have I found in the same way, lying flat in the meadows, crying as if their hearts would break Picture Quote #1

History is written by the victors, the strongest, the most determined. Truth is found most often in the silence, in the quiet places Picture Quote #1

... the men of the Ulysses had no need to stand in shame... many had found, or were finding, that the point of no return was not necessarily the edge of the precipice: it could be the bottom of the valley, the beginning of the long climb up the far slope, and when a man had once begun that climb he never looked back to that other side Picture Quote #1
