Soul Quotes

Only a soul full of despair can ever attain serenity and, to be in despair, you must have loved a good deal and still love the world Picture Quote #1

... just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul Picture Quote #1

We are, all of us, crippled and twisted. Most of us strive desperately to keep our grotesqueries out of sight and mind. Our suffering is transformed by an alchemy of the soul into addiction, ulcers, strokes, hatred, even war Picture Quote #1

I really hate pain. I’d pull my own soul out if it meant I could stop the pain Picture Quote #1

If you looked down to the bottom of my soul, you would understand fully the source of my longing and – pity me. Even the open, transparent lake has its unknown depths, which no divers know Picture Quote #1

You shall create beauty not to excite the senses but to give sustenance to the soul Picture Quote #1

The more the poet grows, the deeper the level of creative intuition descends into the density of his soul. Where formerly he could be moved to song, he can do nothing now, he must dig deeper Picture Quote #1

I have never felt any rest in sleep. For a few seconds I am numbed, then a new life begins, freed from the conditions of time and space, and doubtless similar to that state which awaits us after death. Who knows if there is not some link between those two existences and if it is not possible for the soul to unite them now? 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

My love had grown one with my soul; it became darker, but did not go out Picture Quote #1

Characters take on life sometimes by luck, but I suspect it is when you can write more entirely out of yourself, inside the skin, heart, mind, and soul of a person who is not yourself, that a character becomes in his own right another human being on the page Picture Quote #1

Tita knew through her own flesh how fire transforms the elements, how a lump of corn flour is changed into a tortilla, how a soul that hasn’t been warmed by the fire of love is lifeless, like a useless ball of corn flour Picture Quote #1

How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul Picture Quote #1

From the bottom of my heart, I wanted to give up; I wanted to give up on living. There was no denying that tomorrow would come, and the day after tomorrow, and so next week, too. I never thought it would be this hard, but I would go on living in the midst of a glomy depression, and that made me feel sick to the depths of my soul. In spite of the tempest raging within me, I walked the night path calmly Picture Quote #1

I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved Picture Quote #1

The mere stuffing of the mind with a knowledge of facts is not education. The mind must not only possess a knowledge of the truth, but the soul must revere it, cherish it, love it as a priceless gem; and this human life must be guided and shaped by it in order to fulfill its destiny Picture Quote #1

Of all our games, love’s play is the only one which threatens to unsettle the soul Picture Quote #1

He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave Picture Quote #1

Before this moment I’d lived as a mind. Body, heart, soul, intellect, so we care ourselves into parts. But the whole of us, what can it be? Picture Quote #1

Just because two of the people in this barn have decided to spend their lives together doesn’t mean the rest of us are obligated to instantly find our soul mates. It’s okay if we just dance Picture Quote #1

Once evil is individualized, becoming part of everyday life, the way of resisting it also becomes individual. How does the soul survive? is the essential question. And the response is: through love and imagination Picture Quote #1

Do they sense it, these dead writers, when their books are read? Does a pinprick of light appear in their darkness? Is their soul stirred by the feather touch of another mind reading theirs? I do hope so Picture Quote #1

Thank you... for gracing my life with your lovely presence, for adding the sweet measure of your soul to my existence Picture Quote #1

A single day spent doing things which fail to nourish the soul is a day stolen, mutilated, and discarded in the gutter of destiny Picture Quote #1

The distant soul can shake the distant friend’s soul and make the longing felt, over untold miles Picture Quote #1

I’m not frightened. I’m not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love Picture Quote #1

The point is to strip down, get protestant, then even more naked. Walk over scorched bricks to find your own soul. Your heart a searching dog in the rubble Picture Quote #1

Man needs bread and hyacinths: one to feed the body, and one to feed the soul Picture Quote #1

A poet is a painter in his way, he draws to the life, but in another kind; we draw the nobler part, the soul and the mind; the pictures of the pen shall outlast those of the pencil, and even worlds themselves Picture Quote #1

All I can think is that when you torment a person... the soul dies. When the soul dies, I suppose mercy dies, too Picture Quote #1
