Grand Quotes

One day my wife went and saw the accountant and said she’s pulling the plug. She said you guys are done. I said, how bad can it be? 10 grand? She said you’re not even close. It came out to almost $50,000 in alcohol for two months Picture Quote #1

This is how... life happens. One small thing at a time. A series of inconsequential junctions, any or none of which can lead to salvation or disaster.

Each of us wages a private battle each day between the grand fantasies we have for ourselves and what actually happens Picture Quote #1

A good simulation, be it a religious myth or scientific theory, gives us a sense of mastery over experience. To represent something symbolically, as we do when we speak or write, is somehow to capture it, thus making it one’s own. But with this appropriation comes the realization that we have denied the immediacy of reality and that in creating a substitute we have but spun another thread in the web of our grand illusion Picture Quote #1

Math... music... starry nights... These are secular ways of achieving transcendence, of feeling lifted into a grand perspective. It’s a sense of being awed by existence that almost obliterates the self. Religious people think of it as an essentially religious experience but it’s not. It’s an essentially human experience Picture Quote #1

Two people who were once very close can without blame or grand betrayal become strangers. Perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world Picture Quote #1

Sports don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. But in the moment, when things are just right, they’re the most important thing in the world. That’s what makes them so great Picture Quote #1

Life can become once more a grand adventure if we will surrender it to God. He brings one adventure to an end, only to open another to us. With him we must be ready for anything Picture Quote #1

God’s children improve all advantages to advance their grand end; they labour to grow better by blessings and crosses, and to make sanctified use of all things Picture Quote #1

The physicist is like someone who’s watching people playing chess and, after watching a few games, he may have worked out what the moves in the game are. But understanding the rules is just a trivial preliminary on the long route from being a novice to being a grand master. So even if we understand all the laws of physics, then exploring their consequences in the everyday world where complex structures can exist is a far more daunting task, and that’s an inexhaustible one I’m sure Picture Quote #1

The folks who go after grand challenges are impatient. They’re pissed off. They’re sick and tired, but in a passionate way. They’re driven by a fire in their bellies to make a difference Picture Quote #1

Ah, bien je prétends que les courbes des quatre areêtes du monument, telles que le calcul les a fournies, donneront une grand impression de force et de beauté.Well, I think the curves of the four pillars of the monument, as the calculations have provided them, give it a great sense of force and beauty Picture Quote #1

Now that I’ve reached the age where I need my children more than they need me, I really understand how grand it is to be a grandmother Picture Quote #1

In reality, those who deny climate change and demand a halt to emissions reduction and mitigation work, want us to take a huge gamble with the future of every human being on the planet, every future human being, our children and grand children, and every other living species Picture Quote #1

It was a cherished experience. I feel I got the chance to see the inner workings of the grand order of things. In the overall scheme of things, it proves that men can do about anything they want to if they work hard enough at it, and I knew that I could do it... and that leads, of course, to a strong suspicion that everybody else can do it if they want to Picture Quote #1
