Text Quotes
Art and music shine a light of meaning on ordinary life, and through them we are able to confront the things that trouble us and to find consolation and peace in their presence  (Ordinary Quotes) One difference between artists and ordinary people is that artists have big egos. In some cases, it’s the only difference  (Ordinary Quotes) I’ve tried to make a book that’s accessible to the ordinary, intelligent reader. Very often books that cover this kind of subject are written by academics, for academics. But I am not an academic  (Ordinary Quotes) I do what I feel, that’s all. I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That’s all I’ve ever done  (Ordinary Quotes) Everything, even the most ordinary daily affair, is enriched by the lessons that can be gleaned from art  (Ordinary Quotes) Under ordinary circumstances, bad art naturally gets sorted out and disappears. That is how history works when it is left alone to do its job  (Ordinary Quotes) I look at ordinary people in their suits, them with no scars, and I’m different. I don’t fit with them. I’m where everybody’s got scar tissue on their eyes and got noses like saddles. I go to conventions of old fighters like me and I see the scar tissue and all them flat noses and it’s beautiful.... They talk like me, like they got rocks in their throats. Beautiful!  (Ordinary Quotes) I myself incline to drift, to accept a lesser situation rather than strive for a greater, and yet, I know that character in life and art is only made by an effort that is quite beyond one’s ordinary everyday acceptance of things as they are  (Ordinary Quotes) No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children; for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night  (Ordinary Quotes) There are two kinds of success. One is the rare kind that comes to the person who has the power to do what no one else has the power to do. That is genius. But the average person who wins what we call success is not a genius. That person is a man or woman who has merely the ordinary qualities that they share with their fellows, but has developed those ordinary qualities to a more than ordinary degree  (Ordinary Quotes) The ordinary air fighter is an extraordinary man and the extraordinary air fighter stands as one in a million among his fellows  (Ordinary Quotes) A key difference between a dialogue and an ordinary discussion is that, within the latter people usually hold relatively fixed positions and argue in favor of their views as they try to convince others to change. At best this may produce agreement or compromise, but it does not give rise to anything creative  (Ordinary Quotes) Age is a state of mind. Youth and age exist only among the ordinary people. All the more talented and exceptional of us; are sometimes old, just as we are sometimes happy, and sometimes sad  (Ordinary Quotes) Giving my life to you may mean leading a very ordinary life or it may mean leading an extraordinary life. It may mean having a family and a career or it may mean going beyond all that to just work for others. It’s hard to say. Rather than making a decision myself, I’m going to give my life to you, to do with as you will, because I know that you are my self, you are my very being  (Ordinary Quotes) We ordinary people can see neither our own eyelashes, which are so close, nor the heavens in the distance  (Ordinary Quotes) When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters  (Ordinary Quotes) Poetry’s medium is not merely light as air, it is air: vital and deep as ordinary breath  (Ordinary Quotes) We have learned that beneath the surface of an ordinary everyday normal casual conscious existence there lies a vast dynamic world of impulse and dream, a hinterland of energy which has an independent existence of its own and laws of its own: laws which motivate all our thoughts and our actions  (Ordinary Quotes) The world looks with some awe upon a man who appears unconcernedly indifferent to home, money, comfort, rank, or even power and fame. The world feels not without a certain apprehension, that here is someone outside its jurisdiction; someone before whom its allurements may be spread in vain; some one strangely enfranchised, untamed, untrammelled by convention, moving independent of the ordinary currents of human action  (Ordinary Quotes) Patterns drawn in ultraviolet might make those ordinary little petals into the exotic peacocks of the botanical world, and yet we cannot appreciate them  (Ordinary Quotes) I don’t want to be ordinary. I’m willing to do the work. I’m willing to suffer the indignities of comedy because I want to be great. I don’t want to just be good. I want to be great  (Ordinary Quotes) There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour  (Ordinary Quotes) Fleas know not whether they are upon the body of a giant or upon one of ordinary size  (Ordinary Quotes) What matters are those ordinary acts of kindness and of love, not vaulting ambition with its attendant hubris and smugness  (Ordinary Quotes) People who don’t know any better will always be in the dark because the power lies in the hands of men who take good care that ordinary folk don’t understand, in the hands, that is, of the government, of the clerical party, of the capitalists  (Ordinary Quotes) A lawsuit is to ordinary life what war is to peacetime. In a lawsuit, everybody on the other side is bad. A trial transcript is a discourse in malevolence  (Ordinary Quotes) The ordinary run of advertising is nothing more than an effort to sell something by yelling in print  (Ordinary Quotes) We must now examine whether just people also live better and are happier than unjust ones. I think it’s clear already that this is so, but we must look into it further, since the argument concerns no ordinary topic, but the way we ought to live  (Ordinary Quotes) A miracle no longer seems to me a manifestation of extraordinary power, but an extraordinary manifestation of ordinary power. God is always showing himself  (Ordinary Quotes) The beauty of modesty... a virtue the world doesn’t have much truck with: one ordinary flower in a vase, as opposed to a bouquet  (Ordinary Quotes)
