Meaning Quotes

That which should distinguish the suffering of believers from unbelievers is the confidence that our suffering is under the control of an all-powerful and all-loving God.

The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less Picture Quote #1

As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it Picture Quote #1

The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning - in other words, of absurdity - the more energetically meaning is sought Picture Quote #1

A tear that trembles for a little while upon the trembling eyelid, till the world wavers within its circle like a dream, holds more of meaning in its narrow orb than all the distant landscape that it blurs Picture Quote #1

The indefatigable pursuit of an unattainable perfection, even though it consists in nothing more than the pounding of an old piano, is what alone gives meaning to our life on this unavailing star Picture Quote #1

It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition Picture Quote #1

Oh, my dear friends, - you who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year, meaning to clear them up some day, - if you only could know and see and feel that the time is short, how it would break the spell! How you would go instantly and do the thing which you might never have another chance to do! Picture Quote #1

Without the constantly living and articulated experience of absurdity, there would be no reason to attempt to do something meaningful. And on the contrary, how can one experience one's own absurdity if one is not constantly seeking meaning? Picture Quote #1

It cannot suffice to invent new machines, new regulations, new institutions. It is necessary to change and improve our understanding of the true purpose of what we are and what we do in the world. Only such a new understanding will allow us to develop new models of behavior, new scales of values and goals, and thereby invest the global regulations, treaties and institutions with a new spirit and meaning Picture Quote #1

To happy folk all heaviest words no more of meaning bear than far-off bells saddening the summer air Picture Quote #1

This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century - solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others Picture Quote #1

We need God, not in order to understand the why, but in order to feel and sustain the ultimate wherefore, to give a meaning to the universe Picture Quote #1
