No Purpose Quotes

They came to know the incorrigible sorrow of all prisoners and exiles, which is to live in company with a memory that serves no purpose Picture Quote #1

A person with a clear purpose will make progress, even on the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress, even on the smoothest road Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness happens naturally when you see that it has no purpose other than to strengthen a false sense of self, to keep the ego in place Picture Quote #1

There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting Picture Quote #1

Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain. I love you still among these cold things. Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels that cross the sea towards no arrival. I see myself forgotten like those old anchors. The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there. My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose. I love what I do not have. You are so far. My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights. But night comes and starts to sing to me Picture Quote #1

This last chapter.. may have given the impression that somehow man is the ultimate triumph of evolution, that all these millions of years of development have had no purpose other than to put him on earth. There is no scientific evidence whatever to support such a view and no reason to suppose that our stay here will be any more permanent than that of the dinosaur Picture Quote #1

Natural selection is the blind watchmaker, blind because it does not see ahead, does not plan consequences, has no purpose in view. Yet the living results of natural selection overwhelmingly impress us with the appearance of design as if by a master watchmaker, impress us with the illusion of design and planning Picture Quote #1

If the universe were just electrons and selfish genes, meaningless tragedies... are exactly what we should expect, along with equally meaningless good fortune. Such a universe would be neither evil nor good in intention... The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind pitiless indifference Picture Quote #1

Dominance in an adaptation to anarchy and it serves no purpose in a society that has undergone a civilising process or in an international system regulated by agreements and norms. Anything that deflates the concept of dominance is likely to drive down the frequency of fights between individuals and wars Picture Quote #1

Our present time is indeed a criticizing and critical time, hovering between the wish, and the inability to believe. Our complaints are like arrows shot up into the air at no target: and with no purpose they only fall back upon our own heads and destroy ourselves Picture Quote #1

Many people flounder about in life because they have no purpose. Before it is possible to achieve anything, an objective must be set Picture Quote #1

This was the most difficult, the most extraordinary transition. Her body had been a source of shame and disgust; to engage in activities with no purpose at all except to revel in their sheer physicality had first nauseated, then terrified, and finally liberated her Picture Quote #1

They who are most weary of life, and yet are most unwilling to die, are such who have lived to no purpose, who have rather breathed than lived Picture Quote #1

Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you Picture Quote #1

You can have the best technology in the world, but if you don’t have a community who wants to use it and who are excited about it, then it has no purpose Picture Quote #1

I think I lot of young people feel like they have no purpose, so I try to enlighten them with my life and show them you can do whatever you put your mind to Picture Quote #1

I dropped out of school in the 11th grade because there was no purpose in it for me. I’m not proud of this, and I’m not trying to promote it Picture Quote #1

It serves no purpose to man if there is no room for repentance, and he who is tormented can never grow better... let this punishment be severe, let it be bitter, nay let it be lasting, but let it at length have an end Picture Quote #1

I am pleased that I am able to stand here today and say with a pure heart and meaningful heart that I am against the death penalty. There is no purpose that it serves except to further the damage that death has already done Picture Quote #1

The difference between me and a butterfly is that the butterfly looks at a flower with no purpose in mind but to sip nectar. The flower feeds its body while for me the colours and shapes and scents of flowers feed my heart. But how arrogant of me to assume that the butterfly does not feel its miniscule heart also soar for no reason other than touching and being touched by beauty! Picture Quote #1

Rules serve no purpose; they can only do harm. Not only must the artist’s mind be clear, it must also be free. His fancy should not be hindered and weighed down by a mechanical servility to such rules Picture Quote #1

Man has risen, not fallen. He can choose to develop his capacities as the highest animal and to try to rise still farther, or he can choose otherwise. The choice is his responsibility, and his alone. There is no automatism that will carry him upward without choice or effort and there is no trend solely in the right direction. Evolution has no purpose; man must supply this for himself. The means to gaining right ends involve both organic evolution and human evolution, but human choice as to what are the right ends must be based on human evolution Picture Quote #1

What I don’t like is when I see stuff that I know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there’s no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. What you don’t want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here’s the epiphany scene and then the movie’s over Picture Quote #1

I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilized life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of their striving is to no purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men’s work? Picture Quote #1

Man cannot live without some knowledge of the purpose of life. If he can find no purpose in life he creates one in the inevitability of death Picture Quote #1

It was very important that it be done in such a way that it be executed with complete conviction. If I had done it both ways, if I was trying to cover myself in case it didn’t work, then it would have been to no purpose Picture Quote #1

Ideas? My head is full of them, one after the other, but they serve no purpose there. They must be put down on paper, one after the other Picture Quote #1

Granpa said if there was less words, there wouldn’t be as much trouble in the world. He said privately to me that there was always some damn fool making up a word that served no purpose except to cause trouble Picture Quote #1

There can be no purpose more enspiriting than to begin the age of restoration, reweaving the wondrous diversity of life that still surrounds us Picture Quote #1
