Sense Quotes

What I think I have in common with the school of deconstruction is the mode of negative thinking or negative awareness, in the technical, philosophical sense of the negative, but which comes to me through negative theology Picture Quote #1

While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world Picture Quote #1

I stand on this rostrum with a sense of deep humility and great pride - humility in the weight of those great American architects of our history who have stood here before me; pride in the reflection that this home of legislative debate represents human liberty in the purest form yet devised Picture Quote #1

Do not let the empty cup be your first teacher of the blessings you had when it was full. Do not let a bard place here and there in the bed destroy your rest. Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life Picture Quote #1

Humor aside, I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him Picture Quote #1

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness Picture Quote #1

The most fascinating women are those that can most enrich the every day moments of existence. In a particular and attaching sense, they are those that can partake our pleasures and our pains in the liveliest and most devoted manner. Beauty is little without this; with it she is triumphant Picture Quote #1

It is by it's promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak Picture Quote #1

Our sense of power is more vivid when we break a man's spirit than when we win his heart Picture Quote #1

With that dull, rooted, callous impudence, which, dead to shame, and every nicer sense, never blushed, unless in spreading vice's snares, she blundered on some virtue unawares Picture Quote #1

Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose Picture Quote #1

Cats have no sense of humor, they have terribly inflated egos, and they are very touchy Picture Quote #1

You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it Picture Quote #1

The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him. That remark in itself wouldn't make any sense if quoted as it stands. The average man ought to be allowed a quotation of no less than three sentences, one to make his statement and two to explain what he meant. Ralph Waldo Emerson was about the only one who could stand having his utterances broken up into sentence quotations, and every once in a while even he doesn't sound so sensible in short snatches Picture Quote #1

For many ages it has been allowed by sensible men, nihil est in intellectu quod non fuit prius in sensu: That is, there is nothing in the understanding which was not first perceived by some of the senses. All the knowledge which we naturally have is originally derived from our senses. And therefore those who want any sense cannot have the least knowledge or idea of the objects of that sense; as they that never had sight have not the least knowledge or conception of light or colours Picture Quote #1

He never went mad in your sense. My dear fellow, you're very much wrong if you think there was anything pathological about him - then. The man was brilliantly sane. His mind was as keen as a keen sword. I couldn't understand him, but I could judge of his sanity right enough Picture Quote #1

The world was arrogant and self-satisfied, but behind all this confidence there was an uneasy sense of impending disaster. The old creeds, both religious and political, were largely in the process of dissolution, but we did not realise the fact, and therefore did not look for new foundations Picture Quote #1

I'd been doing projects outdoors for the public. I made pigeons eat geometry by putting bread out in rhomboids and triangles. I don't know if this activity made sense, but the work was available Picture Quote #1

You feel a sense of urgency, especially at my advanced age, when you're staring into the grave Picture Quote #1

Every rose is an autograph from the hand of the Almighty God. On this world about us He has inscribed His thought, in these marvelous hieroglyphics which sense and science have been these many thousand years seeking to understand. The universe itself is a great autograph of the Almighty Picture Quote #1

As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note Picture Quote #1

The magic was in the Marshall Plan itself. It provided an opportunity for appealing and constructive work. In a sense, the mission chiefs were given the opportunity to help act as architects for the new Europe that was envisioned Picture Quote #1

I'm a good Catholic girl in the way that Madonna is. In the sense that I'm not that good at all Picture Quote #1

And I don't feel any form of music is beyond me in the sense of that I don't understand it or I don't have some love for some part of it Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

My sense of history in music is much greater than a lot of people's. I listen a lot further back in the whole history of music. It's not just pop music of the last 20, 30, 40, 50 years. I'm listening to stuff from hundreds of years ago as well, because you can learn from everything Picture Quote #1

Resignation is, to some extent, spoiled for me by the fact that it is so entirely conformable to the laws of common sense. I should like just a little more of the supernatural in the practice of my favorite virtue Picture Quote #1

Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense Picture Quote #1

In this great society wide lying around us, a critical analysis would find very few spontaneous actions. It is almost all custom and gross sense Picture Quote #1

The flowering of civilization is the finished man, the man of sense, of grace, of accomplishment, of social power - the gentleman Picture Quote #1

I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity Picture Quote #1
