Refuge Quotes

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness Picture Quote #1

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists Picture Quote #1

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds Picture Quote #1

The very idea of carrying my memory into eternity devastated me, and I took refuge in atheism Picture Quote #1

I see the player piano as the grandfather of the computer, the ancestor of the entire nightmare we live in, the birth of the binary world where there is no option other than yes or no and where there is no refuge Picture Quote #1

No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all around hell raising remain the true duty of patriots Picture Quote #1

The Christian religion is only for one who needs infinite help, therefore only for one who feels an infinite need. The whole planet cannot be in greater anguish than a single soul. The Christian faith - as I view it - is the refuge in this ultimate anguish. To whom it is given in this anguish to open his heart, instead of contracting it, accepts the means of salvation in his heart Picture Quote #1

There can be few fields of human endeavor in which history counts for so little as in the world of finance. Past experience, to the extent that it is part of memory at all, is dismissed as the primitive refuge of the those who do not have insight to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present Picture Quote #1

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world Picture Quote #1

My house is my refuge, an emotional piece of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience Picture Quote #1

There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect; it bids a man to ponder or create; and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide Picture Quote #1

There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance Picture Quote #1

In its early stages, insomnia is almost an oasis in which those who have to think or suffer darkly take refuge Picture Quote #1

A refuge is supposed to prevent what? The genes from flowing out of sight? This refuge idea won’t stop insects from moving across boundaries. That’s absurd Picture Quote #1

Historical analogy is the last refuge of people who can’t grasp the current situation Picture Quote #1

Not to get overly psychological about this, but it’s probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much Picture Quote #1

Even if I know I shall never change the masses, never transform anything permanent, all I ask is that the good things also have their place, their refuge Picture Quote #1

Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does Picture Quote #1

The seed of a metaphysical or religious defeat is in us all. For the honest questioner, however, who doesn’t seek refuge in some faith or fantasy, there will never be an answer Picture Quote #1

The tantalizing and compelling pursuit of mathematical problems offers mental absorption, peace of mind amid endless challenges, repose in activity, battle without conflict, refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings, and the sort of beauty changeless mountains present to senses tried by the present day kaleidoscope of events Picture Quote #1

In the city one clings to nostalgic and unreal signs of community, takes forced refuge in codes, badges and coteries; the city’s life, of surfaces and locomotion, usually seems too dangerous and demanding to live through with any confidence Picture Quote #1

Writing is my refuge. It’s where I go. It’s where I find that integrity I have Picture Quote #1

Maybe there are moments between any two adults in love when the age of one of them dissolves before the other’s eyes, when the first refuge of the soul at its creation is laid bare and skinless as a sunbeam through a window. Innocence and vulnerability, two unmeasurable quantities... Perhaps that is the essence of the protection’s intimacy, that it dwells in camouflage and justifies itself in stillness Picture Quote #1

There’ll be times when the only refuge is books. Then you’ll read as if you meant it, as if your life depended on it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

So when I say that I am a refugee, you must understand that there is no refuge Picture Quote #1

Death, of course, is a refuge. It’s where you go when a new name, or a mask and cape, can no longer hide you from yourself. It’s where you run to when none of the principalities of your conscience will grant you asylum Picture Quote #1

When something is bothering me, I seek refuge. No need to travel far; a trip to the realm of literary memory will suffice. For where can one find more noble distraction, more entertaining company, more delightful enchantment than in literature? Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life Picture Quote #1
