Strange Quotes

We shall use the terms morality, behavior, conduct, or constructive action in the same broad way. It may sound strange to speak of the morals of an atom, or of the way in which a molecule conducts itself. But in the last analysis, science can draw no fundamental distinction between the conduct of an animal, a bullet, or a freshman, although there may be more unknown factors involved in one case than in the other Picture Quote #1

I’d worked at a small town newspaper, and I was thinking of all the strange stories that I had seen float through the newsroom in my time there that were dismissed as kind of amusing curiosities. Somehow from that I got to this idea of an eccentric alcoholic who built a lighthouse in the woods Picture Quote #1

If you see, in the spectrum of a planet host star, strange chemical elements, it can be a signal from a civilization which is there Picture Quote #1

I never did that badly with women when I wasn’t on telly, but it’s a bit out of control now. Women try it on with me more than I’m comfortable with. It’s strange, because I think I look like a troll wearing a woman’s wig backwards Picture Quote #1

Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange Picture Quote #1

Those persons are happiest in this restless and mutable world who are in love with change, who delight in what is new simply because it differs from what is old; who rejoice in every innovation, and find a strange alert pleasure in all that is, and that has never been before Picture Quote #1

He didn’t like religion, hadn’t liked it for years, but he adored churches, loved them like old scientific instruments whose time is long past but are nevertheless fascinating and strange Picture Quote #1

Spring, which germinated in the earth, moved also with a strange restlessness, in the hearts of... women. As the weeks passed, inextinguishable hope, which mounts with the rising sap, looked from their faces Picture Quote #1

May you eat an unfamiliar dessert in a strange land at least once every three years Picture Quote #1

How strange it is, that a fool or knave, with riches, should be treated with more respect by the world, than a good man, or a wise man in poverty! Picture Quote #1

The real mystery is this strange need. Why can’t we just hide it and shut up? Why do we have to blab? Why do human beings need to confess? Picture Quote #1

There is a strange reluctance on the part of most people to admit that they enjoy life Picture Quote #1

It was strange the way he loved her; a side long and almost casual love, as if loving her were simply a matter of course, too natural to mention Picture Quote #1

We are born seekers, calling strange names into the darkness from our earliest days because we know we are not meant to be alone, and because we know that we await someone whom we cannot always see Picture Quote #1

The night is full of stories. They float up like miasmas, as though the dead leave their dreams in the earth where you bury them, only to have them rise to meet you in sleep. Mostly the scenes are familiar, but sometimes everything is strange, the people unknown Picture Quote #1

I realised that reading was the key that opened the door to secret lands, strange places and the worlds behind other people’s eyes Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any poetry is written that isn’t primarily written to the self, in a way... I’m always talking to myself. But I seem to want somebody else to listen to it. I need, I do want an audience. So it’s a strange thing. It’s a very private conversation that then, you make public, kind of like the starfish flipping its stomach out Picture Quote #1

Let’s assume there is some validity in these prophecies. What vision of the future, of the new world, might we see so that we can place our attention upon this vision as a strange attractor to carry us through this critical transition? Picture Quote #1

Say that I starved; that I was lost and weary; That I was burned and blinded by the desert sun; Footsore, thirsty, sick with strange diseases; Lonely and wet and cold, but that I kept my dream! Picture Quote #1

... when we abandon visible riches... it is strange goods and not our own that we are leaving. And this is so even if we boast that we acquired them through our own efforts or that they were passed on to us as an inheritance. I say nothing is ours except what is in our hearts, what belongs to our souls, what cannot be taken away by anyone Picture Quote #1

Cities force us to interact with strangers and with the strange. They pry the mind open. And that is why they are the idea that has unleashed so many of our new ideas Picture Quote #1

Be different, be altruistic. Be strange, work for others in response to their harm. Raise eyebrows, be generous without agenda Picture Quote #1

Hollywood is a strange place if you’re in trouble. Everybody thinks it’s contagious Picture Quote #1

If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you? Picture Quote #1

Strange about learning; the farther I go the more I see that I never knew even existed Picture Quote #1

As I grew up I realized, though imperfectly, that I was different from other people, and that the way of life in my home was different from that in the homes of others... This stimulated me to introspection and strange mental questionings Picture Quote #1

I like to say, when asked why I pursue science, that it is to satisfy my curiosity, that I am by nature a searcher trying to understand. If you haven’t found something strange during the day, it hasn’t been much of a day Picture Quote #1

More important than innate disposition, objective experience, and environment is the subjective evaluation of these. Furthermore, this evaluation stands in a certain, often strange, relation to reality Picture Quote #1

Successfully functioning in a society with diverse values, traditions and lifestyles requires us to have a relationship to our own reactions rather than be captive of them. To resist our tendencies to make right or true, that which is nearly familiar, and wrong or false, that which is only strange Picture Quote #1
