Presence Quotes

For manipulation to be most effective, evidence of its presence should be nonexistent... It is essential, therefore, that people who are manipulated believe in the neutrality of their key social institutions Picture Quote #1

If there’s anything worse than being 16, it’s having parents visibly reliving their own teenage years in your anguished presence Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a rough environment. You want to be strong and have your presence felt out there. That attitude reflects how people see you Picture Quote #1

For the most part, of course, the presence of the great spiritual universe surrounding us is no more noticed by us than the pressure of air on our bodies, or the action of light. Our field of attention is not wide enough for that; our spiritual senses are not sufficiently alert. Most people work so hard at developing their correspondence with the visible world, that their power of correspondence with the invisible is left in a rudimentary state Picture Quote #1

Not only do these abominable weapons lie buried in silence and in their millions waiting to kill or maim innocent women and children; but the presence or even the fear of the presence of a single landmine can prevent the cultivation of an entire field, rob a whole village of its livelihood, place yet another obstacle on a country’s road to reconstruction and development Picture Quote #1

If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach? Men are not apt to change their character by agglomeration; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with the consciousness of their strength. And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them Picture Quote #1

When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers Picture Quote #1

I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. These properties we can only speak of when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view Picture Quote #1

Indeed the presence of outstanding strengths presupposes that energy needed in other areas has been channeled away from them Picture Quote #1

Identity is your role in life, the part you play. Individuality is who you are, and who you are is revealed to you if you can get to complete presence Picture Quote #1

The presence of death annihilates all superstitions. We are the children of death, and it is death that rescues us from the deceptions of life. In the midst of life he calls us and summons us to him Picture Quote #1

You may have a cat in the room with you without anxiety about anything except eatables. The presence of a cat is positively soothing to a student Picture Quote #1

Whatever you put your attention on in this life, will increase in your life. As you put your attention on angels, they will begin increasingly to make their presence known to you Picture Quote #1

I have always found thick woods a little intimidating, for they are so secret and enclosed. You may seem alone but you are not, for there are always eyes watching you. All the wildlife of the woods, the insects, birds, and animals, are well aware of your presence no matter how softly you may tread, and they follow your every move although you cannot see them Picture Quote #1

Many of our miseries are merely comparative: we are often made unhappy, not by the presence of any real evil, but by the absence of some fictitious good; of something which is not required by any real want of nature, which has not in itself any power of gratification, and which neither reason nor fancy would have prompted us to wish, did we not see it in the possession of others Picture Quote #1

If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity Picture Quote #1

Except for the rare cases of plastid inheritance, the inheritance of all known cooacters can be sufficiently accounted for by the presence of genes in the chromosomes. In a word the cytoplasm may be ignored genetically Picture Quote #1

Whatsoever you are doing, be absorbed in it so utterly that the mind thinks nothing, is just there, is just a presence. And more and more totality will be coming Picture Quote #1

Meditation is just being delighted in your own presence... where you are not doing anything. The moment doing enters, you become tense; anxiety enters immediately. How to do? What to do? How to succeed? How not to fail? You have already moved into the future Picture Quote #1

Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatesoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer Picture Quote #1

Questions appear real for as long as you consider yourself to be a person. When you realize you are the impersonal presence, all questions vanish Picture Quote #1

God is that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful and consoles us for not sharing the happiness of the wicked Picture Quote #1

Anxiety is essential to the human condition. The confrontation with anxiety can relieve us from boredom, sharpen the sensitivity and assure the presence of tension that is necessary to preserve human existence Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What is precious inside us does not care to be known by the mind in ways that diminish its presence Picture Quote #1

The significance of something lies in its presence here and now. I don’t care what it has been or what it will become. It is the experience of things that matters, the confrontation with things Picture Quote #1

There is a hunger to see the human presence acted out. As long as that need remains, people will find a way to do theater Picture Quote #1

We know the human mind is programmed to glaze over when bored. Conversely, the mind is more alert in the presence of novelty. Our muse needs to stay seductive to keep our hands doing the right things Picture Quote #1

Beauty is a living abiding presence completely untouchable by all the devices of man, such as moral codes, creeds, intellectual analysis, games and cliches, the acquisitive instinct, or lust for anything whatsoever Picture Quote #1

The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet, challenging us to be true to ourselves by appeals to the martial spirit that keeps the blood at heat. Some little, unassuming, unobtrusive choice presents itself before us slyly and craftily, glib and insinuating, in the modest garb of innocence.... Then it is that you will be summoned to show the courage of adventurous youth Picture Quote #1
