Narrow Quotes

The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man’s mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others Picture Quote #1

When I consider the narrow limits within which our active and inquiring faculties are confined; when I see how all our energies are wasted in providing for mere necessities, which again have no further end than to prolong a wretched existence; and then that all our satisfaction concerning certain subjects of investigation ends in nothing better than a passive resignation... when I consider all this... I am silent Picture Quote #1

If there’s a thing, a scene, maybe, an image that you want to see real bad, that you need to see but it doesn’t exist in the world around you, at least not in the form that you envision, then you create it so that you can look at it and have it around, or show it to other people who wouldn’t have imagined it because they perceive reality in a more narrow, predictable way. And that’s it. That’s all an artist does Picture Quote #1

There’s no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us Picture Quote #1

Silence emerges from the sound of rain and spreads in a crescendo of gray monotony over the narrow street I contemplate. I’m sleeping while awake, standing by the window, leaning against it as against everything. I search in myself for the sensations I feel before these falling threads of darkly luminous water that stand out from the grimy building facades and especially from the open windows. And I don’t know what I feel or what I want to feel. I don’t know what to think or where I am Picture Quote #1

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive Picture Quote #1

A transition from an author’s book to his conversation is too often like an entrance into a large city, after a distant prospect. Remotely, we see nothing but spires of temples and turrets of palaces, and imagine it the residence of splendour, grandeur, and magnificence; but when we have passed the gates, we find it perplexed with narrow passages, disgraced with despicable cottages, embarrassed with obstructions, and clouded with smoke Picture Quote #1

It will be forgotten, on the one hand, that jealousy is the usual concomitant of violent love, and that the noble enthusiasm of liberty is too apt to be infected with a spirit of narrow and illiberal distrust. On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten, that the vigour of government is essential to the security of liberty Picture Quote #1

History shows that the human mind, fed by constant accessions of knowledge, periodically grows too large for its theoretical coverings, and bursts them asunder to appear in new habiliments, as the feeding and growing grub, at intervals, casts its too narrow skin and assumes another Picture Quote #1

I’ve debated many economists who claim to specialize in risk and probability: when one takes them slightly outside their narrow focus, but within the discipline of probability, they fall apart, with the disconsolate face of a gym rat in front of a gangster hit man Picture Quote #1

Let us, my dear contemporaries, arise above such narrow prejudices. If wisdom be desirable on its own account, if virtue, to deserve the name, must be founded on knowledge, let us endeavour to strengthen our minds by reflection till our heads become a balance for our hearts Picture Quote #1

Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students, of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own Picture Quote #1

An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes, which can be made, in a very narrow field Picture Quote #1

The limit is not as narrow as it might be. I do not claim for this action, as it now goes on, an ideal degree of efficiency. What I do claim is that this type of competition already reveals its nature and its ultimate power to hold seeming monopolies in check Picture Quote #1

What I liked about doing a soundtrack is that it’s almost the opposite of any kind of normal recording that a band does, because it’s very much a restricted, narrow... and I kind of like that, I find it exciting to work within these things Picture Quote #1

In all earlier civilizations, it should be remembered, commerce was treated as a narrow activity and by no means the senior sector in society Picture Quote #1

I am always amazed how much a certain facility with a special and apparently narrow technique can accomplish Picture Quote #1

Come out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts? Picture Quote #1

We ended up with 19 hours of footage and had to narrow it down to an hour and a half. Our instructions were to film everything that came up, including the more mundane moments Picture Quote #1

An expert is a person who has found out by his own painful experience all the mistakes that one can make in a very narrow field Picture Quote #1

I carry on in my own narrow little tunnel and we have very different experiences of life even though we live together Picture Quote #1

Then time seemed to stop, or rather to lose its directional urgency of movement; it became a place in the open where one stood rather than a low, narrow corridor down which one was hurried Picture Quote #1

Human existence is girt round with mystery: The narrow region of our experience is a small island in the midst of a boundless sea Picture Quote #1

Sages say the path is narrow and difficult to tread, narrow as the edge of a razor Picture Quote #1

Strange difference of sex, that time and circumstance, which enlarge the views of most men, narrow the views of women almost invariably Picture Quote #1

Some men are like pyramids, which are very broad where they touch the ground, but grow narrow as they reach the sky Picture Quote #1

The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies far away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and woman, old age is upon us Picture Quote #1
