Save Us Quotes

Humans make the mistake of believing that it is their right to survive. Species die out on this planet all the time without anyone noticing. The planet will still be there, and we must lose this attitude of divine right, that something will save us Picture Quote #1

If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us Picture Quote #1

The note of hope is the only note that can help us or save us from falling to the bottom of the heap of evolution, because, largely, about all a human being is, anyway, is just a hoping machine Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it is our fear, that in the silence between stories, in the moment of falling, the fear that we will never find the one story which will save us, and so we lunge for another, and we feel safe again, if only for as long as we are telling it Picture Quote #1

Our age of mechanization leads along a road ending with man himself as a machine. Only the spirit of singing can save us from this fate Picture Quote #1

Past: Jesus saved us from the penalty of sin. Present: He saves us from the power of sin. Future: He will save us from the presence of sin Picture Quote #1

To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty Picture Quote #1

The main human problems often are that we misidentify what will make us happy; and we ask people and things to save us beyond their ability Picture Quote #1

If we become a people who are willing to give up our money and our freedom in exchange for rhetoric and promises, then nothing can save us Picture Quote #1

Institutions do all the things that are supposed to be bad. They impede personal exploration. They enforce conformity. But they often save us from our weaknesses and give meaning to life Picture Quote #1

It is the artists of the world, the feelers and the thinkers who will ultimately save us; who can articulate, educate, defy, insist, sing and shout the big dreams Picture Quote #1

God save us from people who do the morally right thing. It’s always the rest of us who get broken in half Picture Quote #1

Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma; and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma Picture Quote #1

We must be precise with love, its language and its gestures. If it is to save us, we must look at it as clearly as we should learn to look at death Picture Quote #1

Lord save us from off-handed, flabby-cheeked, brittle-boned, weak-kneed, thin-skinned, pliable, plastic, spineless, effeminate, ossified, three-karat Christianity Picture Quote #1

And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they’re for Picture Quote #1

I suppose that we women are such cowards that we think a man will save us from fears, and we marry him Picture Quote #1

Love is the only thing that will save us, independent of any mistakes we may make. Love is always stronger Picture Quote #1

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves Picture Quote #1

I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't Picture Quote #1

It is the inefficiency and sham of... our schools... that save us from being dashed on the rocks of false doctrine instead of drifting down the midstream of mere ignorance Picture Quote #1

Proverbs save us the trouble of thinking. What we call folk wisdom is often no more than a kind of expedient stupidity Picture Quote #1

So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all Picture Quote #1

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces Picture Quote #1
