Text Quotes
These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. There were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works. You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. Money is no substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you as I’m sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have (Sense Quotes)
A man who has once looked with the archaeological eye will never see quite normally. He will be wounded by what other men call trifles. It is possible to refine the sense of time until an old shoe in the bunch grass or a pile of nineteenth century beer bottles in an abandoned mining town tolls in one’s head like a hall clock (Sense Quotes)
Why wouldn’t I help? What good reason do I have as a human being with power and a sense of empathy and morality, why wouldn’t I do something? (Sense Quotes)
All great scientists have, in a certain sense, been great artists; the man with no imagination may collect facts, but he cannot make great discoveries (Sense Quotes)
By happiness I mean here a deep sense of flourishing that arises from an exceptionally healthy mind. This is not a mere pleasurable feeling, a fleeting emotion, or a mood, but an optimal state of being. Happiness is also a way of interpreting the world, since while it may be difficult to change the world, it is always possible to change the way we look at it (Sense Quotes)
I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences (Sense Quotes)
Civilizations die from philosophical calm, irony, and a sense of fair play quite as surely as they die of debauchery (Sense Quotes)
By sticking it out through tough times, people emerge from adversity with a stronger sense of efficacy (Sense Quotes)
Sensuality, too, which used to show itself course, smiling, unmasked, and unmistakable, is now serious, analytic, and so burdened with a sense of its responsibilities that it passes muster half the time as a new type of asceticism (Sense Quotes)
I have a sense of humor; but over the years that sense has developed one blind spot. I can no longer laugh at ignorance or stupidity. Those are our chief enemies, and it is dangerous to make fun of them (Sense Quotes)
It has always seemed to me that any man is a better man for being a hunter. This sport confers a certain constant alertness, and develops a certain ruggedness of character... Moreover, it allies us to the pioneer past. In a deep sense, this great land of ours was won for us by hunters (Sense Quotes)
There is a sense in the tree which feels your love and responds to it. It does not respond or show its pleasure in our way or in any way we can now understand (Sense Quotes)
They’re basically moments in which you’re in touch with the meaning of life, when your relationship to the rest of the universe makes sense (Sense Quotes)
Fate is a misplaced retreat. Many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. But that is not what fate is. The world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. Fate is where these circles cut to earth. Since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. When this happens, we call it fate. Fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time (Sense Quotes)
Peace, or freedom from conflict, is the absolute core of happiness. It is in learning to watch our sense of peace that we avoid unhappiness. All forms of misery are heralded by a frame of mind that must become immediately recognizable if we are ever to gain mastery in happiness... Take the time to look in your heart and be clear. Walk through life being clear. Practice doing each thing in peace (Sense Quotes)
If all sentient beings in the universe disappeared, there would remain a sense in which mathematical objects and theorems would continue to exist even though there would be no one around to write or talk about them. Huge prime numbers would continue to be prime, even if no one had proved them prime (Sense Quotes)
I believe it is impossible to make sense of life in this world except through art (Sense Quotes)
Humans have a sense of spontaneity and emotion. We have a dichotomy between grief and happiness (Sense Quotes)
The source of our love comes from within. No one out there is that source. It makes sense to go to the source (Sense Quotes)
When a doting person gets down on all fours and plays with the dog’s rubber mouse, it only confuses the puppy and gives him a sense of insecurity. He gets the impression that the world is unstable and wonders whether he is supposed to walk on his hind legs and smoke cigars (Sense Quotes)
When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law (Sense Quotes)
Ah, bien je prétends que les courbes des quatre areêtes du monument, telles que le calcul les a fournies, donneront une grand impression de force et de beauté.Well, I think the curves of the four pillars of the monument, as the calculations have provided them, give it a great sense of force and beauty (Sense Quotes)
Later scientific theories are better than earlier ones for solving puzzles in the often quite different environments to which they are applied. That is not a relativist’s position, and it displays the sense in which I am a convinced believer in scientific progress (Sense Quotes)
Science has explored the microcosmos and the macrocosmos; we have a good sense of the lay of the land. The great unexplored frontier is complexity (Sense Quotes)
The extraordinary development of modern science may be her undoing. Specialism, now a necessity, has fragmented the specialities themselves in a way that makes the outlook hazardous. The workers lose all sense of proportion in a maze of minutiae (Sense Quotes)
Do not imagine that mathematics is harsh and crabbed, and repulsive to common sense. It is merely the etherealisation of common sense (Sense Quotes)
I confess, that very different from you, I do find sometimes scientific inspiration in mysticism... but this is counterbalanced by an immediate sense for mathematics (Sense Quotes)
Meditation really helps create not only a sense of balance... but serenity and kind of a calm state of mind (Sense Quotes)
I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked (Sense Quotes)
Let me say that I don’t see any conflict between science and religion. I go to church as many other scientists do. I share with most religious people a sense of mystery and wonder at the universe and I want to participate in religious ritual and practices because they’re something that all humans can share (Sense Quotes)
