Text Quotes
The current disfavor into which socialism has fallen has spurred... the frenzy to proclaim oneself a liberal. Many writers today have recourse to the strategem of inventing for oneself a liberalism according to one’s own tastes and passing it off as an evolution from past ideas  (Passing Quotes) I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?  (Passing Quotes) This is the standard procedure for corporate growth these days; one company buys up another on loans that are floated on the basis of future earnings, and the monopoly or oligopoly created in this way produces the necessary funds by squeezing out competition, and passing the costs along to the consumer. The bucket that holds the new wealth is called a corporation  (Passing Quotes) If you see things as in eternity, you are less a prey to the pain of their passing, and so you can learn the more easily not to clutch at them as they pass... you learn to be reverent and not proudly possessive  (Passing Quotes) Equality means more than passing laws. The struggle is really won in the hearts and minds of the community, where it really counts  (Passing Quotes) A man descending is propelled by inertia; the only initiative left him is whether or not he decides to enjoy the passing scene  (Passing Quotes) Of all the sacred places on the coast, none is more comforting than where rivers join the sea. By the river’s disappearance we are reminded of life’s passing, while by the ocean’s beauty we accept it, in a hope we cannot explain  (Passing Quotes) Hoping to live days of greater happiness, I forget that days of less happiness are passing by  (Passing Quotes) The anger came creeping back like the leak from a dripping water tank, the fall of each individual drop passing almost unnoticed until I realized I was soaked with the emotion  (Passing Quotes) What is your personal carrying capacity for grief, rage, despair? We are living in a period of mass extinction. The numbers stand at 200 species a day. That’s 73,000 a year. This culture is oblivious to their passing, feels entitled to their every last niche, and there is no roll call on the nightly news  (Passing Quotes) How deeply do any of us know our own selves? Ask yourself. We hold a picture of how we wish to be and hope it goes forever unchallenged. Passing through life never pursuing aspects of our natures with which we’d rather not reckon. Dying strangers to ourselves  (Passing Quotes) I don’t want to be the flavor, the passing thing that the girls scream at. I think that it’s more important for me, honestly, that the guy who gets dragged to the show, you know, looks at his wife and says, thank you, that was great and tells his buddies  (Passing Quotes) Photography in our time leaves us with a grave responsibility. While we are playing in our studios with broken flowerpots, oranges, nude studies and still lifes, one day we know that we will be brought to account: life is passing before our eyes without our ever having seen a thing  (Passing Quotes) I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues, until I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them  (Passing Quotes) If things do not exist as fixed, independent entities, then how can they die? Our notion of death as the sudden expiration of that which was once so real starts to unwind. If things do not exist in their own right and are flickering rather than static, then we can no longer fear their ultimate demise. We may fear their instability, or their emptiness, but the looming threat of death starts to seem absurd. Things are constantly dying, we find. Or rather, they are constantly in flux, arising and passing away with each moment of consciousness  (Passing Quotes) I think acceptance of human rights is going to progress from one day to the next. I don’t think there’s going to be any violent revolution about the whole thing anywhere. Of course, it looks like it every once in a while. You hear about it on television and in newspapers: riots here and there. But that is a passing phase  (Passing Quotes) Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible  (Passing Quotes) This is what I have come to know: Our past is never passed and there is no such thing as moving on. But there is this telling and there is such a thing as passing through  (Passing Quotes) Watching something being constructed, whether you’re passing a building site or whether you’re watching an artist at work, is fascinating, and I think that’s the enjoyment  (Passing Quotes) Passing into higher forms of desire, that which slumbered in the plant, and fitfully stirred in the beast, awakes in the man  (Passing Quotes) The work of preservation demands that the feelings playing about in one’s guts not be turned into action. Just watch their passing like cherry blossoms  (Passing Quotes) Despite all expectations, the time of my last campaign and of my passing is near. I wish to die at home. Let not my end disarm you, and on no account weep for me, lest the enemy be warned of my death  (Passing Quotes) Passing competitors always gives you a lift. It probably has a physical effect, too, because you get a surge of adrenaline  (Passing Quotes) It’s a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time  (Passing Quotes) Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you’re not even a memory? Think about it, friends. It’s not just a possibility. It is a certainty  (Passing Quotes) U.S. soldiers, with whom I now have more than a passing acquaintance, joke that they track my movements in order to know where they will be deployed next  (Passing Quotes) Once more their weird laughter of the loons comes to my ear, the distance lends it a musical, melancholy sound. For a dangerous ledge off the lighthouse island floats in on the still air the gentle trolling of a warning bell as it swings on the rocking buoy; it might be tolling for the passing of summer and sweet weather with that persistent, pensive chime  (Passing Quotes) In passing, I firmly believe that research should be offset by a certain amount of teaching, if only as a change from the agony of research. The trouble, however, I freely admit, is that in practice you get either no teaching, or else far too much  (Passing Quotes) All of us inevitably spend our lives evolving from an initial to a final stage of dependence. If we are fortunate enough to achieve power and relative independence along the way, it is a transient and passing glory  (Passing Quotes) Nothing seems real anymore. Even the flames from the fire seem to beckon to me, drawing me into some great past life buried somewhere deep in my subconscious, if only I could find the key.. if only.. if only. Ever since my illness, my condition, I’ve been trying to find some logical way of passing my time, of justifying a means to an end  (Passing Quotes)
