Text Quotes
This is the great challenge: to maintain passion for the everyday routine and the endlessly repeated act, to derive deep gratification from the mundane  (The Great Quotes) While science has nothing of value to say on the great and aching questions of life, death, love and meaning, what the religious traditions of mankind have said forms a coherent body of thought... There is recompense for suffering. A principle beyond selfishness is at work in the cosmos... I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false  (The Great Quotes) Every great leader is a great teacher, and the greatest leaders seize every opportunity to teach well  (The Great Quotes) God is the great janitor of the universe. Why things don’t work is that we have a janitor in charge, and we keep looking for the landlord  (The Great Quotes) Paper is the strongest material in the world. Things under which a mountain will crumble, you can place on paper and it will hold: beauty at its most intense; love at its fiercest; the greatest grief; the greatest rage  (The Great Quotes) The people who want to be recognized as the greatest traders are probably not the greatest traders. Egos get in the way of the process. In my opinion, you never want to be the largest player in the pit  (The Great Quotes) The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo; the more he can remember, the more divine his life becomes  (The Great Quotes) The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo  (The Great Quotes) We all possess more power and greater possibilities than we realize, and visualizing is one of the greatest of these powers  (The Great Quotes) Once we allow ourselves to do evil so that some perceived good may follow, we allow ever greater evils for the sake of ever more questionable goods, until we consent to the greatest evils for the sake of mere trifles  (The Great Quotes) Love is a vessel that contains both security and adventure, and commitment offers one of the great luxuries of life: time. Marriage is not the end of romance, it is the beginning  (The Great Quotes) At every level the greatest obstacle to transforming the world is that we lack the clarity and imagination to conceive that it could be different  (The Great Quotes) It seems that boredom is one of the greatest discoveries of our time. If so, there’s no question but that he must be considered a pioneer  (The Great Quotes) They said I was the greatest pitcher they ever sawI couldnt understand why they couldnt give me no justice  (The Great Quotes) The great geniuses are those who have kept their childlike spirit and have added to it breadth of vision and experience  (The Great Quotes) The great subversive works of children’s literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. They mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form. They appeal to the imaginative, questioning, rebellious child within all of us, renew our instinctive energy, and act as a force for change. This is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten  (The Great Quotes) My chief joy is to photograph the great in heart, in mind, and in spirit, whether they be famous or humble  (The Great Quotes) Remember, too, that if your country has the greatest name in all the world, it is because she never bent before disaster; because she has expended more life and effort in war than any other city, and has won for herself a power greater than any hitherto known, the memory of which will descend to the latest posterity  (The Great Quotes) What you have to realize when you write poetry, or if you love poetry, is that poetry is just naturally the greatest God damn thing that ever was in the whole universe  (The Great Quotes) We must first realize that dancing is an absolutely independent art, not merely a secondary accompanying one. I believe that it is one of the great arts... The important thing in ballet is the movement itself. A ballet may contain a story, but the visual spectacle... is the essential element. The choreographer and the dancer must remember that they reach the audience through the eye. It’s the illusion created which convinces the audience, much as it is with the work of a magician  (The Great Quotes) There is a sweetness in being the sole source, the autocraticand irresponsible cause of the greatest joy and profoundest pain to another  (The Great Quotes) The colored planes, as much by position and dimension as by the greater value given to color, plastically express only relationships and not forms  (The Great Quotes) New materials are one of the great afflictions of contemporary art. Some artists confuse new materials with new ideas  (The Great Quotes) Trapped. Sinking. Can’t be myself. Made into what other people expect. Is that everyone’s fate? Were the great individualists the products of their friends who wanted a great individualist as a friend?  (The Great Quotes) By all means examine the games of the great chess players, but don’t swallow them whole. Their games are valuable not for their separate moves, but for their vision of chess, their way of thinking  (The Great Quotes) The greatest threat to public confidence in elections in this case is the prospect of enforcing a purposefully discriminatory law, one that likely imposes an unconstitutional poll tax and risks denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters  (The Great Quotes) It is as hard a thing to maintain a sound understanding, a tender conscience, a lively, gracious, heavenly spirit, and an upright life in the midst of contention, as to keep your candle lighted in the greatest storms  (The Great Quotes) In the great scheme of things, what matters is not how long you live but why you live, what you stand for and what you are willing to die for  (The Great Quotes) I struggle with enormous discrepancies: between the reality of motherhood and the image of it, between my love for my home and the need to travel, between the varied and seductive paths of the heart. The lessons of impermanance, the occasional despair and the muse, so tenuously moored, all visit their needs upon me and I dig deeply for the spiritual utilities that restore me: my love for the place, for the one man left, for my children and friends and the great green pulse of spring  (The Great Quotes) Spiritual power is a force which history clearly teaches has been the greatest force in the development of men. Ye. we have been merely playing with it and never have really studied it as we have the physical forces. Some day people will learn that material things do not bring happiness, and are of little use in making people creative and powerful. Then the scientists of the world will turn their laboratories over to the study of spiritual forces which have hardly been scratched  (The Great Quotes)
