Text Quotes
If life was an arc of light that began in darkness, ended in darkness, the first part of his life had happened in ordinary glare. Here it was as though he had found a polarized lens that deepened and intensified all seen through it (Ordinary Quotes)
Most inexperienced cooks believe, mistakenly, that a fine cake is less challenging to produce than a fine souffle or mousse. I know, however, that a good cake is like a good marriage: from the outside, it looks ordinary, sometimes unremarkable, yet cut into it, taste it, and you know that it is nothing of the sort. It is the sublime result oflong and patient experience, a confection whose success relies on a profound understanding of compatibilities and tastes; on a respect for measurement, balance, chemistry and heat; on a history of countless errors overcome (Ordinary Quotes)
Here was a thing that would grow old; here was a thing that would turn beautiful and lose that beauty, that would inherit the grace but also the bad ear and flawed figure of her mother, that would smile too much and squint too often and spend the last decades of her life creaming away the wrinkles made in youth until she finally gave up and wore a collar of pears to hide a wattle; here was the ordinary sadness of the world (Ordinary Quotes)
Not that she’s a political animal, she’s just an ordinary woman, but as a woman she’s of the view that you don’t bring children into the world to have them shot (Ordinary Quotes)
... she had come long ago to understand that loneliness was the curse of those who were free, even of all those who rose a little above the level of ordinary humanity (Ordinary Quotes)
It wasn’t because they had extraordinary powers, really, but because of how well they used the ordinary powers everyone had: the power of courage, the power of kindness, the powers of curiosity and knowledge (Ordinary Quotes)
Maybe we’re all like that with our mothers. They seem ordinary until one day they’re extraordinary (Ordinary Quotes)
I still maintain that an ordinary human being has the right to be horrified by a mangled body seen on an afternoon walk (Ordinary Quotes)
When my parents were liberated, four years before I was born, they found that the ordinary world outside the camp had been eradicated. There was no more simple meal, no thing was less than extraordinary: a fork, a mattress, a clean shirt, a book. Not to mention such things that can make one weep: an orange, meat and vegetables, hot water. There was no ordinariness to return to, no refuge from the blinding potency of things, an apple screaming its sweet juice (Ordinary Quotes)
The ordinary activities I find most compatible with contemplation are walking, baking bread, and doing laundry (Ordinary Quotes)
Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority (Ordinary Quotes)
There are no ordinary feelings. Just as there are no ordinary spring days or kicked over cans of paint (Ordinary Quotes)
Solitude, I reflected, is the one deep necessity of the human spirit to which adequate recognition is never given in our codes. It is looked upon as a discipline or penance, but hardly ever as the indispensable, pleasant ingredient it is to ordinary life, and from this want of recognition come half our domestic troubles (Ordinary Quotes)
Love doesn’t mean doing extraordinary or heroic things. It means knowing how to do ordinary things with tenderness (Ordinary Quotes)
It was going to be so much fun dragging his complacent sexual views out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary (Ordinary Quotes)
What looks like crazy on an ordinary day looks looks a lot like love if you catch it in the moonlight (Ordinary Quotes)
I think fantasy is best described as a kind of fiction that evokes wonder, mystery or magic, a sense of possibility beyond the ordinary world in which we live, and yet which reflects and comments upon that known world (Ordinary Quotes)
I don’t think ordinary things are very interesting, so I try to imagine a world that is less ordinary (Ordinary Quotes)
There was nothing particularly wrong with them; they were just the ordinary garden variety of human garbage (Ordinary Quotes)
The ordinary procedure of the nineteenth century is that when a powerful and noble personage encounters a man of feeling, he kills, exiles, imprisons or so humiliates him that the other, like a fool, dies of grief (Ordinary Quotes)
Let us create extraordinary words, on condition that they be put to the most ordinary use and that the entity they designate be made to exist in the same way as the most common object (Ordinary Quotes)
When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t understand data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor, and you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse. What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world (Ordinary Quotes)
What would be frightening about me jumping out of the bush wearing a pig mask is not the sudden surprise, not me, and not the pig mask, but that the ordinary world had split open for a moment to reveal some possibility never previously considered (Ordinary Quotes)
Only miracle is plain; it is in the ordinary that groans with the weight of glory (Ordinary Quotes)
His thoughts inhabit a different plane from those of ordinary men; the simplest interpretation of that is to call him crazy (Ordinary Quotes)
When you are born without the ordinary feelings and emotions shared by most other human beings, life looks different to you. It seems at times like a movie you’re walking through, more a spectator than a participant. There is above all a lack of empathy with most of mankind, a sense of detachment. But with detachment comes perspective. The less you care, the more you know, and the more you know the less you care (Ordinary Quotes)
She’s a smart woman. I love that. Intelligence is a wonderful and powerful aphrodisiac. To me, it enhances beauty, makes an ordinary woman look like a movie star (Ordinary Quotes)
You’ve faced horrors in these past weeks... I don’t know which is worse. The terror you feel the first time you witness such things, or the numbness that comes after it starts to become ordinary (Ordinary Quotes)
I have not led an ordinary life, nor a life that would suit everyone. I took great risks, but because I did, I also earned great reward. I found the way to show my true face freely, without fear. Because of this, I found true love (Ordinary Quotes)
The world was made up of people putting one foot in front of the other; and a life might appear ordinary simply because the person living it had been doing so for a long time (Ordinary Quotes)
