Text Quotes
God must be very great to have created a world that leaves a mystery as to whether he created it  (Leaves Quotes) Philosophy should always know that indifference is a militant thing. It batters down the walls of cities and murders the women and children amid the flames and the purloining of altar vessels. When it goes away it leaves smoking ruins, where lie citizens bayonetted through the throat. It is not a children’s pastime like mere highway robbery  (Leaves Quotes) A church is in a bad way when it banishes laughter from the sanctuary and leaves it to the cabaret, the nightclub and the toastmasters  (Leaves Quotes) Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?  (Leaves Quotes) A good rule of thumb is that any environment that consistently leaves you feeling bad about who you are is the wrong environment  (Leaves Quotes) Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness  (Leaves Quotes) A fragrance is like a signature, so that even after a woman leaves the room, her fragrance should reveal she’s been there  (Leaves Quotes) I have experienced firsthand the tremendous impact breast cancer has on the women who fight it and the loved ones who support them. This is a disease that catches you unaware and, without the right resources, leaves you feeling frightened and alone  (Leaves Quotes) As I would soon learn myself, cleaning up what a parent leaves behind stirs up dust, both literal and metaphorical. It dredges up memories. You feel like you’re a kid again, poking around in your parents’ closet, only this time there’s no chance of getting in trouble, so you don’t have to be so sure that everything gets put back exactly where it was before you did your poking around. Still, you hope to find something, or maybe you fear finding something, that will completely change your conception of the parent you thought you knew  (Leaves Quotes) Life doesn’t take itself seriously for long. Joy leaves an imprint even in the hardest sorrow  (Leaves Quotes) Rabbits live close to death and when death comes closer than usual, thinking about survival leaves little room for anything else  (Leaves Quotes) The people who bind themselves to systems are those who are unable to encompass the whole truth and try to catch it by the tail; a system is like the tail of truth, but truth is like a lizard; it leaves its tail in your fingers and runs away knowing full well that it will grow a new one in a twinkling  (Leaves Quotes) I am one who leaves the table like a man, without putting back the chair or picking up the plate  (Leaves Quotes) The geologist takes up the history of the earth at the point where the archaeologist leaves it, and carries it further back into remote antiquity  (Leaves Quotes) The true poet, is like a man who’s happy anywhere, in endless measure, if he’s allowed to look at leaves and grass, to see the sun rise and set  (Leaves Quotes) After black’s reply to 1.e4 with 1.. e5, leaves him always trying to get into the game  (Leaves Quotes) Stories are a kind of thing, too. Stories and objects share something, a patina. I thought I had this clear, two years ago before I started, but I am no longer sure how this works. Perhaps a patina is a process of rubbing back so that the essential is revealed, the way that a striated stone tumbled in a river feels irreducible, the way that this netsuke of a fox has become little more than a memory of a nose and a tail. But it also seems additive, in the way that a piece of oak furniture gains over years and years of polishing, and the way the leaves of my medlar shine  (Leaves Quotes) The heaviness leaves, and if I’m patient enough it can be replaced by something I need, somthing that would fill instead of drown and let me breathe instead of bleed  (Leaves Quotes) When you really love someone, you think about him all the time. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, he never completely leaves your thoughts. When you’re apart, you want to be with him. When you’re together, you’re conscious of every move he makes, every word he says, and every breath he takes. Just the sight of him makes your heart race and your mouth go dry. And when he touches you, the rest of the world disappears  (Leaves Quotes) I try not to bring in anything I don’t love looking at. It’s about restaint... There is something about an unfinished quality that leaves within you that sense of possibility  (Leaves Quotes) The individual who cultivates grievances, and who is perpetually exacting explanations of his assumed wrongs, can only be ignored, and left to the education of time and of development... One does not argue or contend with the foul miasma that settles over stagnant water; one leaves it and climbs to a higher region, where the air is pure and the sunshine fair  (Leaves Quotes) Americans different in some maybe thoughts or emphasis still have the same ideas. They want a government that lets them be free, that leaves them alone, that doesn’t interrupt and interfere with every aspect of their life, that lets them go to work and keep more of what they’ve worked hard to have  (Leaves Quotes) Photography in our time leaves us with a grave responsibility. While we are playing in our studios with broken flowerpots, oranges, nude studies and still lifes, one day we know that we will be brought to account: life is passing before our eyes without our ever having seen a thing  (Leaves Quotes) Several times in my life I’ve gone through long periods without sex or any other kind of physical contact. The hunger it produces is deep and low; it’s possible to lose track of it, to forget or fail to perceive how it’s emptied everything out of you and made the world papery and thin. Touch starved, you brush against existence like a stick against dry leaves. You become insubstantial yourself, a hungry ghost  (Leaves Quotes) If a book is easy and fits nicely into all your language conventions and thought forms, then you probably will not grow much from reading it. It may be entertaining, but not enlarging to your understanding. It’s the hard books that count. Raking is easy, but all you get is leaves; digging is hard, but you might find diamonds  (Leaves Quotes) Prose is prose because of what it includes; poetry is poetry because of what it leaves out  (Leaves Quotes) When a woman didn’t enjoy it, she leaves early in the morning. Those who had a nice time will wait until the sun comes out, requests breakfast and taxi money. In the morning that lady requested breakfast and taxi money. You don’t ask for taxi money from somebody who raped you  (Leaves Quotes) I always thought jazz was like the trunk of a tree. After the tree has grown, many branches have spread out. They’re all with different leaves and they all look beautiful. But at the end of the season, they fold back up and it’s still the tree trunk  (Leaves Quotes) First, in your sermons, use your logic, and then your rhetoric; Rhetoric without logic, is like a tree with leaves and blossoms, but no root; yet more are taken with rhetoric than logic, because they are caught with fine expressions when they understand not reason  (Leaves Quotes) For me a photograph is most successful when it doesn’t answer all the questions and it leaves something to be desired  (Leaves Quotes)
