Open Quotes

I was the one with the open wound, and the river waters turned red when I bathed in them. My sadness is greater than the heavens Picture Quote #1

If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain Picture Quote #1

Writing is an act of hope. It means carving order out of chaos, of challenging one’s own beliefs and assumptions, of facing the world with eyes and heart wide open. Through writing we declare a personal identity amid faceless anonymity. We find purpose and beauty and meaning even when the rational mind argues that none of these exist. Writing therefore, is also an act of courage. How much easier is it to lead an unexamined life than to confront yourself on the page? Picture Quote #1

There is nothing wrong with listening. You can listen to people; you can hear people’s concerns. You can keep an open mind and still be perfectly strong Picture Quote #1

I love the night passionately... I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness Picture Quote #1

What the world needs most is openness: Open hearts, open doors, open eyes, open minds, open ears, open souls Picture Quote #1

In a physical contest on the field of battle it is allowable to use tactics and strategy, to retreat as well as advance, to have recourse to a ruse as well as open attack; but in matters of principle there can be no tactics, there is one straight forward course to follow and that course must be found and followed without swerving to the end Picture Quote #1

If you want to live a life free of regret, there is an option open to you. It’s called a lobotomy Picture Quote #1

Our media, which is very open and report on really everything, tend to exaggerate the crime issue... This is why one gets the impression that we have much more crime than other countries Picture Quote #1

Love yourself, open your heart which means doing the work on yourself first. Then love will follow Picture Quote #1

Tolerance is understanding. It is open to new light. Those who are tolerant are always eager to explore viewpoints other than their own Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I can be walking down the street, or riding a bus, and suddenly I see somebody who remind me of somebody I know back home, and I close my eyes and find myself thinking of the sea, or the taste of grafted mango, or the smell of saltfish frying, and then I come back to myself and open my eyes and realise where I am Picture Quote #1

Words are not in the power of men; men are in the power of words. Every time we open our mouths, a thousand dead men speak through us Picture Quote #1

You do not ask a tame seagull why it needs to disappear from time to time toward the open sea. It goes, that’s all Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the things that break our hearts are the very things that serve to open them Picture Quote #1

I have served many long and lonely years aboard ship in war zones, and the only thing that kept me sane during all that enforced loneliness was my access to a good library in which I read, literally, every book on the shelves, even textbooks, and which gave me access to other worlds no way open to me Picture Quote #1

Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art, you’re stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt that any establishment that doesn’t welcome me with open arms doesn’t deserve my patronage Picture Quote #1

Until we let go of our mental images of who we are or who we should be, our vision remains clouded by expectation. But when we let go of everything, open ourselves to any truth, and see the world without fear or judgement, then we are finally able to begin the process of peeling off the shell of false identity that prevents our true self from growing and shining in to the world Picture Quote #1

I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise Picture Quote #1

When I talk about unrequited love, most of you probably think about romantic love, but there are many other kinds of love that are not adequately returned, if they are returned at all. An angry adolescent may not love her mother back as her mother loves her; an abusive father doesn’t return the innocent open love of his young child. But grief is the ultimate unrequieted love. However hard and however long we love someone who has died, they can never love us back. At least that is how it feels Picture Quote #1

On land off an ice covered sea the traveler can, for example, detect the presence of open water, simply because it reflects less light than land or ice. The open sea’s telltale sign is thus a darkness on the underside of the clouds Picture Quote #1

Part of the adventure in life is not always knowing what’s going to happen next, and the next part may be grander than your original plan. The key to enjoying the journey is being open to the unknown Picture Quote #1

In order to stay relevant, you have to stay open to new trends and keep educating yourself. You have to keep evolving Picture Quote #1

I like big, open, spare landscapes. There’s lots of room. Nobody bothers you... I feel as if I can think there Picture Quote #1

No, I don’t think you’re ever an objective observer. By making a frame you’re being selective, then you edit the pictures you want published and you’re being selective again. You develop a point of view that you want to express. You try to go into a situation with an open mind, but then you form an opinion, and you express it in your photographs Picture Quote #1

Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power Picture Quote #1

Open the doors to all. Let the children of the rich and the poor take their seats together and know of no distinction save that of industry, good conduct, and intellect Picture Quote #1

Say this is what the pain made of you: an open, open, open road, an avalanche of feel it all Picture Quote #1

You can’t be stuck if you’re not trying to get anywhere. Which, to me, means that when you stop fighting with the way things are, magic happens. You relax, open, and any action you take comes from alignment with what’s true Picture Quote #1
