Meaning Quotes

The task is not to search for meaning, but to bring meaning to every situation you are in Picture Quote #1

Life is the leaves which shape and nourish a plant, but art is the flower which embodies its meaning Picture Quote #1

It’s not the meaning of life we seek but our aliveness. Once we have that, the meaning of life is obvious Picture Quote #1

Life is less a quest than a quilt. We find meaning, love, and prosperity through the process of stitching together our bold attempts to help others find their own way in their lives. The relationships we weave become an exquisite and endless pattern Picture Quote #1

We are born for meaning, not pleasure, unless it is pleasure that is steeped in meaning Picture Quote #1

I think that too many people think too much about my lyrics. I am more a person who works with the sound of a word than with its meaning. Often I just choose the words because of the rhythm not because of the meaning Picture Quote #1

One of the fundamental conditions of happiness is to know that everything that one does has a meaning in eternity Picture Quote #1

Today, we turn to one person to provide what an entire village once did: a sense of grounding, meaning, and continuity. At the same time, we expect our committed relationships to be romantic as well as emotionally and sexually fulfilling. Is it any wonder that so many relationships crumble under the weight of it all? Picture Quote #1

Everything that enters our field of perception means something, large or small. Everything speaks to us, if we will take off our headphones and hear a different sound track. Everything corresponds. We travel better in the forest of symbols when we are open and available to all the forms of meaning that are watching†and waiting for us Picture Quote #1

The power of nature exists in its silence. Human words cannot encode the meaning because human language has access only to the shadow of meaning Picture Quote #1

When we spend time in silence, we can hear the voice of our soul whispering its sacred message and encouraging us to make choices that bring us more happiness, health, love, meaning, and peace Picture Quote #1

If you consider an unsuccessful hunt to be a waste of time, then the true meaning of the chase eludes you all together Picture Quote #1

When nature suffers because it is destroyed by human activities, the notion of beauty is really losing its meaning, because nothing is more aesthetic than the natural beauty Picture Quote #1

The more we retreat from the culture at large the more room we will have to carve out lives of meaning, the more we will be able to wall off the flood of illusions disseminated by mass culture and the more we will retain sanity in an insane world Picture Quote #1

Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar Picture Quote #1

There is no use in one person attempting to tell another what the meaning of life is. It involves too intimate an awareness. A major part of the meaning of life is contained in the very discovering of it. It is an ongoing experience of growth that involves a deepening contact with reality. To speak as though it were an objective knowledge, like the date of the war of 1812, misses the point altogether. The meaning of life is indeed objective when it is reached, but the way to it is by a path of subjectivities... The meaning of life cannot be told; it has to happen to a person Picture Quote #1

... numbers have neither substance, nor meaning, nor qualities. They are nothing but marks, and all that is in them we have put into them by the simple rule of straight succession Picture Quote #1

By getting to smaller and smaller units, we do not come to fundamental or indivisible units. But we do come to a point where further division has no meaning Picture Quote #1

A major part of the meaning of life is contained in the very process of discovering it Picture Quote #1

There is a twofold meaning in every creature, a literal and a mystical, and the one is but the ground of the other Picture Quote #1

Action is the music of our life. Like music, it starts from a pause of leisure, a silence of activity which our initiative attacks; then it develops according to its inner logic, passes its climax, seeks its cadence, ends, and restores silence, leisure again. Action and leisure are thus interdependent; echoing and recalling each other, so that action enlivens leisure with its memories and anticipations, and leisure expands and raises action beyond its mere immediate self and gives it a permanent meaning Picture Quote #1

The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose. Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold Picture Quote #1

It is not the courage to be that we must develop as much as the courage to become. We are responsible for our destiny. The meaning of life is not located in some hidden crevice in the womb of nature but is created by free persons, who are aware that they are responsible for their own futures and have the courage to take this project into their own hands Picture Quote #1

In the current era, more than prodigies in mathematics, science, athletics, or art, I believe we need prodigies of good character and integrity. People who have polished their character and integrity until they shine are the ones who can be the real heroes the world needs to solve its problems. I think that, when people have the correct understanding of the meaning of human character, there will be a solution Picture Quote #1

Wine... changing even as we taste it, delivers a message with meaning only in our response. If we are in the right key when we receive it, our eyes will shine and we shall radiate pleasure Picture Quote #1

You see, there is no more purpose or meaning in the world than you put into it Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom Picture Quote #1

Anyone who turns love between two consenting adults into a negative, doesn’t understand the meaning of the word Picture Quote #1

All the translations of a poem in all possible languages may add nuance to nuance and, by a kind of mutual retouching, by correcting one another, may give an increasingly faithful picture of the poem they translate, yet they will never give the inner meaning of the original Picture Quote #1

Happiness is living by inner purpose, not by outer pressures. Happiness is having a sense of meaning, not a feeling of futility Picture Quote #1
