Retains Quotes

When one has love for God, one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them Picture Quote #1

The mind is like a sheet of white paper in this, that the impression it receivest oftenest, and retains the longest, are black ones Picture Quote #1

And yet, protest it if we will, some corner of the mind retains the medieval man, who still keeps watch upon those starry skeins and drives us out of doors at night to gaze at anagrams of light Picture Quote #1

If a man has been his mother's undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it Picture Quote #1

Memory in youth is active and easily impressible; in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions, but still retains vividly those of earlier years Picture Quote #1

In this retirement of the mind from the senses, it retains a yet more incoherent manner of thinking, which we call dreaming Picture Quote #1

Always carry a notebook. And I mean always. The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper you can lose an idea for ever Picture Quote #1

It is among the less privileged groups relatively new to leisure and consumption that the zest for possessions retains something of its pristine energy Picture Quote #1

You can have a silence full of words. A lute retains, in its bowl, the notes it has played. The viol, in its strings, holds a concord. A shriveled petal can hold its scent, a prayer can rattle with curses; an empty house, when the owners have gone out, can still be loud with ghosts Picture Quote #1

The land retains an identity of its own, still deeper and more subtle than we can know. Our obligation toward it then becomes simple: to approach with an uncalculating mind, with an attitude of regard... be alert for its openings, for that moment when something sacred reveals itself within the mundane, and you know the land knows you are there Picture Quote #1

Preventive war is a crime not easily committed by a country that retains any traces of democracy Picture Quote #1

The spirit of tanka interests me more than following rigid conventions. As I understand it, the tradition allows a variety of approaches, from simple description and heartfelt expression to classical allusion and evocative wordplay. Succeeding generations rediscover and renew the form so that it retains its vitality Picture Quote #1

The ideal artist is he who knows everything, feels everything, experiences everything, and retains his experience in a spirit of wonder and feeds upon it with creative lust Picture Quote #1

One cannot blame an organization that picks up an occasional black sheep, one only takes exception if it retains an accumulation of them Picture Quote #1

There has never been a humane communist regime. Marxism is inherently totalitarian. It recognizes no moral limits on the state. It’s the most convenient ideology for aspiring tyrants; it also retains its appeal for intellectuals, who have proved equally skillful at rationalizing abuses of power and at exculpating themselves Picture Quote #1

I wonder, only in passing, whether the indelible ornamentation that man inscribes upon his own epidermis does not respond to a nostalgia for the universal internally generated coloring of corrollas, furs, shells, carapaces and wings. For man it has been necessary to create both works and tools outside of himself. But it may be that he retains an obscure nostalgia to create them on his own body, to make them a part of it rather than projecting them outwards onto an independent surface, where he is free to retouch them as he sees fit, which is precisely what painting and art are Picture Quote #1

He who is mistaken in an action which he sincerely believes to be right may be an enemy, but retains our esteem Picture Quote #1

Just as eating against one’s will is injurious to health, so studying without a liking for it spoils the memory, and it retains nothing it takes in Picture Quote #1

There is no reader so parochial as the one who reads none but this morning’s books. Books are not rolls, to be devoured only when they are hot and fresh. A good book retains its interior heat and will warm a generation yet unborn Picture Quote #1

Melody is the single most important thing to any song, period. I don’t care what anybody says, it trumps everything. Not because that’s my opinion but because I think it’s actually indisputable fact. The human brain retains melody easier than it retains words. It’s that simple Picture Quote #1

For most baseball fans, maybe oldest is always best. We love baseball because it seizes and retains the past, like the snowy village inside a glass paperweight Picture Quote #1

As a piece of rope, when burnt, retains its form, but cannot serve to bind, so is the ego which is burnt by the fire of supreme Knowledge Picture Quote #1
