Means Quotes

There are many sources of spirituality; religion may be the most common, but it is by no means the only. Anything that generates a sense of awe may be a source of spirituality. Science does this in spades Picture Quote #1

Often, to be free means the ability to deal with the realities of one’s own situation so as not to be overcome by them Picture Quote #1

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself Picture Quote #1

Please don’t think so lightly of liking someone. It’s terribly important. It is a kind of loving, you know, and one that frequently lasts a lot longer than romance. You can fall out of love, as well in. Most of us do, especially if you don’t actually like the person as well. It doesn’t always grow into love by any means, but sometimes it does Picture Quote #1

Who has not asked himself at some time or other: am I a monster or is this what it means to be a person? Picture Quote #1

I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too Picture Quote #1

So, if you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for Picture Quote #1

Being human means throwing your whole life on the scales of destiny when need be, all the while rejoicing in every sunny day and every beautiful cloud Picture Quote #1

All they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with a rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means Picture Quote #1

True lovers may never know what love means. A man may love a woman out of his reach. She does not know he loves her, and he will never speak of it Picture Quote #1

I can hardly wait for tomorrow, it means a new life for me each and every day Picture Quote #1

Wealth means nothing at all if you do not know, to the last penny, what your fortune is. You might as well be poor if you do not know what you have Picture Quote #1

We are trying to communicate that which lies in our deepest heart, which has no words, which can only be hinted at through the means of a story. And somehow, miraculously, a story that comes from deep in my heart calls from a reader that which is deepest in his or her heart, and together from our secret hidden selves we create a story that neither of us could have told alone Picture Quote #1

The rational approach start from the idea that everything is explainable and that mystery is in some sense the enemy. This means that it prefers pejorative, and even wrong, answers to admitting its own lack of understanding Picture Quote #1

It’s not my victory, it’s yours and yours and yours. If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We’ve given them hope Picture Quote #1

To speak... means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization Picture Quote #1

I wonder if being sane means disregarding the chaos that is life, pretending only an infinitesimal segment of it is reality Picture Quote #1

In our country we call this type of mother love teng ai. My son has told me that in men’s writing it is composed of two characters. The first means pain; the second means love. That is a mother’s love Picture Quote #1

Embraces do not matter; they merely indicate the will to love and may as well be followed by defeat as victory. But disregard means that now there needs to be no straining of the eyes, no stretching forth of the hands, no pressing of the lips, because theirs is such a union that they are no longer aware of the division of their flesh Picture Quote #1

Some people are just afraid of what’s different. It doesn’t mean different is bad. It just means different is different Picture Quote #1

I once heard my mother tell my sister love only comes at a price, there’s no way around it. You give up parts of yourself for love, she said. If that’s true, I thought, the cost of our love had risen. And despite wanting to be as real to you as you were to me, I couldn’t afford us any longer. We were beyond my means Picture Quote #1

To live for the moment: it sounds so right and so beautiful. But the more I want to, the less I understand what it means Picture Quote #1

Obsessed? I don’t know what the word means. I know there were times when I couldn’t think of anything else. I used to stay in every weeknight in the hope that he might get free and call me. It felt like I had a disease I didn’t want to get rid of. I suppose that’s a definition of obsession, yes Picture Quote #1

... I would never choose a subject for what it means to me. I choose a subject and then what I feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold Picture Quote #1

That’s the wonderful thing with nerds: they’re enthusiasts. Not having a life means you get to love things with a passion and nobody bothers you about it Picture Quote #1

Nobody knows you as well as our spouse. And that means no one will be quicker to recognize a change when you deliberately start sacrificing your wants and wishes to make sure his or her needs are met Picture Quote #1

Most people carry that pain around inside them their whole lives, until they kill the pain by other means, or until it kills them. But you, my friends, you found another way: a way to use the pain. To burn it as fuel, for light and warmth. You have learned to break the world that has tried to break you Picture Quote #1

If you ask a living teacher a question, he will probably answer you. If you are puzzled by what he says, you can save yourself the trouble of thinking by asking him what he means. If, however, you ask a book a question, you must answer it yourself. In this respect a book is like nature or the world. When you question it, it answers you only to the extent that you do the work of thinking an analysis yourself Picture Quote #1

A man moves through time. It means nothing except that, like a harpoon, once thrown he will arrive Picture Quote #1

I have written letters that are failures, but I have written few, I think, that are lies. Trying to reach a person means asking the same question over and over again: Is this the truth, or not? I begin this letter to you, then, in the western tradition. If I understand it, the western tradition is: Put your cards on the table Picture Quote #1
