Gathering Quotes

When you’re feeling lost, take heart. It’s just your brain gathering the information it needs to make good decisions Picture Quote #1

To be willing to live within the imagination is to commit oneself to the gathering together of the pieces that might begin to form a self. To avoid this territory is to avoid the encounters that might validate, inform, or enhance one’s experience Picture Quote #1

... there’s no such thing as sustainability. There are just levels of it. It’s a process, not a real goal. All you can do is work toward it. There’s no such thing as any sustainable economy. The only thing I know that’s even close to sustainable economic activity would be organic farming on a very small scale or hunting and gathering on a very small scale. And manufacturing, you end up with way more waste than you end up with finished product. It’s totally unsustainable. It’s just the way it is Picture Quote #1

A choral dance: an attempt to impose upon a chance gathering of a few dozen guests a communal feeling Picture Quote #1

By gathering seed from trees which are close to our homes and close to our hearts, helping them to germinate and grow, and then planting them back into their original landscapes, we can all make a living link between this millennium and the next, a natural bridge from the past to the future Picture Quote #1

Don’t let a single comic moment pass you by; then help the audience get the laughs. Give them permission to laugh by holding for laughter and by letting them know early on what they’re in for. In the first few moments, the audience is gathering information, looking at the scenery and costumes. Create a comic moment as soon as you can Picture Quote #1

This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive Picture Quote #1

A crowd, whether it be a dangerous mob, or an amiably joyous gathering at a picnic is not a community. It has a mind, but no institutions, no organizations, no coherent unity, no history, no traditions Picture Quote #1

Tobacco has not yet been fully tried before the bar of science. But the tribunal has been prepared and the gathering of evidence has begun and when the final verdict is rendered, it will appear that tobacco is evil and only evil; that as a drug it is far more deadly than alcohol, killing in a dose a thousand times smaller, and that it does not possess a single one of the quasi merits of alcohol Picture Quote #1

If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s gathering people together to do something fun Picture Quote #1

Among friends one has the privilege of saying nothing; the civility consists in the assumption that one’s silence will be civilly understood. I can imagine a small gathering of friends who say nothing all evening: they recoil from saying anything that the others don’t want to hear; and their silence would be the subtlest courtesy Picture Quote #1

Unexplained pain may sometimes direct our attention to something unacknowledged, something we are afraid to know or feel. Then it holds us to our integrity, claiming the attention we withhold. The thing which calls our attention may be a repressed experience or some unexpressed and important part of who we are. Whatever we have denied may stop us and dam the creative flow of our lives. Avoiding pain, we may linger in the vicinity of our wounds, sometime for many years, gathering the courage to experience them Picture Quote #1

Religion would certainly be more relevant to the hurting masses of humanity if people could express their hopes and dreams and pain and anguish to one another in the context of religious worship. As it is now our services are so antiseptic and sterile that people gathering for worship relate to others at only the most superficial level, and hardly ever get to know one another... Maybe that is one of the reasons why people feel religion is irrelevant, because they cannot find support and solace during times of crisis and pain. That is when real religion should be at its best Picture Quote #1

I would like to see every newspaper and every magazine have a network of bureaus all over the world, gathering news Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer in gathering together all your obsessions and seeing if you can make a novel out of them Picture Quote #1

Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses Picture Quote #1

It’s strange how deserts turn us into believers. I believe in walking in a landscape of mirages, because you learn humility. I believe in living in a land of little water because life is drawn together. And I believe in the gathering of bones as a testament to spirits that have moved on. If the desert is holy, it is because it is a forgotten place that allows us to remember the sacred. Perhaps that is why every pilgrimage to the desert is a pilgrimage to the self Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the heroic element in our natures is exhibited to the best advantage, not in going from success to success, and so on through a series of triumphs, but in gathering, on the very field of defeat itself, the materials for renewed efforts, and in proceeding, with no abatement of heart or energy, to form fresh designs upon the very ruins and ashes of blasted hopes. Yes, it is this indomitable persistence in a purpose, continued alike through defeat and success, that makes, more than aught else, the hero Picture Quote #1

Worship is of fundamental significance to the life of the individual and to the corporate life of the church, yet we rarely hear it taught as a discipline or practice in the gathering of believers Picture Quote #1

Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum Picture Quote #1

We need a safe place, a reserve of truth, a place where words kindle ideas and set ideas sparking off in others, a word sanctuary. Poetry is this gathering place of words Picture Quote #1

The real axis of social change is not horizontal, but vertical. We don’t need a whole bunch of people gathering to think shallow thoughts together. What we need is for as many people as are ready to gather and think deep thoughts together Picture Quote #1

The gathering of believers should be an opportunity for wonder, anticipation and imagination; not drudgery, duty or routine Picture Quote #1

Writing is more than just the making of a series of comprehensible statements: it is the gathering in of connotations; the harvesting of them, like blackberries in a good season, ripe and heavy, snatched from among the thorns of logic Picture Quote #1

I like that gathering moment where the music is about to begin, that moment right there. It’s like jumping out of an airplane. It’s that moment when the lights go out and then you’re in it Picture Quote #1

Now, settle down, settle down. Hell, I’m an old man, it’s early in the morning and I’m gathering my thoughts here Picture Quote #1

Vaccination is pretty special because you can do a vaccination campaign anywhere in the world. All you are doing is gathering women from the villages, getting them the vaccines and asking them to go around and find the children Picture Quote #1

The investigators are gathering evidence all the time and they’ve put together a package of evidence Picture Quote #1

If we had complete knowledge, you wouldn’t need any intelligence gathering whatsoever. The president isn’t God. We do have intelligence gathering Picture Quote #1

For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear Picture Quote #1
