Text Quotes
One wonders how people in primitive societies, with no knowledge of chemistry or physiology, ever hit upon a solution to the activation of an alkaloid by a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Pure experimentation? Perhaps not  (Upon Quotes) The greatest barrier to own own healing is not the pain, sorrow or violence inflicted upon us as children. Our greatest hindrance is our ongoing capacity to judge, to criticize, and to bring tremendous harm to ourselves. If we can harden our heart against ourselves and meet our most tender feelings with anger and condemnation, we simultaneously armor our heart against the possibility of gentleness, love and healing  (Upon Quotes) The man who can look upon a crisis without being willing to offer himself upon the altar of his country is not for public trust  (Upon Quotes) So given that reality, let us not cast that all of the problems and ills of our society are somehow upon the immigrants who have come to this country  (Upon Quotes) We also call upon the king to hand over power to the political parties and for the political parties to shoulder their responsibility and turn the people’s demands for democracy and good governance into reality  (Upon Quotes) The finest singing, given a good voice to begin with, comes from the constant play of a fine mind upon the inner meaning of the music  (Upon Quotes) The word patriotism, or its equivalents and derivations, is upon everyone’s lips at the present time. It is a magic word which is thought by most people to cover any multitude of sins. To be patriotic in whatever cause is tantamount to being virtuous, while no worse charge can be brought against a man in popular estimation than to say he is unpatriotic  (Upon Quotes) Architecture is an imposed art in some ways, imposed upon the public, so people must be sure about what you’re doing. You have to be sure about what you’re doing  (Upon Quotes) It is impossible to fully comprehend the evil that would have conjured up such a cowardly and depraved assault upon thousands of innocent people  (Upon Quotes) And every breath I ever took, every tear I ever wept, every star I wished upon seemed nothing until now. Every prayer I ever said seemed strangely answered now. Could it be I’m in love? Could it be I’m in love?  (Upon Quotes) The success or failure of any historical age is the extent to which those living at that time have fulfilled the special role that history has imposed upon them  (Upon Quotes) It’s a subject that is often hidden and very secretive, but it’s something which I feel should have a light shone upon it  (Upon Quotes) The transcendent importance of love and goodwill in all human relations is shown by their mighty beneficent effect upon the individual and society  (Upon Quotes) When you are playing with someone who really has something to say, even though they may be otherwise quite different in style, there’s one thing that remains constant. And that is the tension of the experience, that electricity, that kind of feeling that is a lift sort of feeling. No matter where it happens, you know when that feeling comes upon you, and it makes you feel happy  (Upon Quotes) Every psychological event depends upon the state of the person and at the same time on the environment, although their relative importance is different in different cases  (Upon Quotes) And then, into the fantasy, as into a dream, would come the thought: it’s not like this anymore; the world has changed. Just the way, even at that time fully two years after my mother’s death, I’d catch myself thinking about her as alive; and would suddenly remember, an admonitory finger of grief upon my breast, that she was gone  (Upon Quotes) Although the pure truth has never been stated, nevertheless it has never been lost. Its existence does not depend upon human statement but upon human sensitivity. In this it is unlike all other knowledge  (Upon Quotes) The inventor is a man who looks around upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world; he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization  (Upon Quotes) We ought not to endeavor to revise history according to our latter day notions of what things ought to have been, or upon the theory that the past is simply a reflection of the present  (Upon Quotes) For the virtuoso, musical works are in fact nothing but tragic and moving materializations of his emotions; he is called upon to make them speak, weep, sing and sigh, to recreate them in accordance with his own consciousness. In this way he, like the composer, is a creator, for he must have within himself those passions that he wishes to bring so intensely to life  (Upon Quotes) I live neither in the past nor in the future. I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity  (Upon Quotes) The great lie is that it is civilization. It’s not civilized. It has been literally the most blood thirsty brutalizing system ever imposed upon this planet. That is not civilization. That’s the great lie, is that it represents civilization  (Upon Quotes) In the life of everyone there is a limited number of experiences which are not written upon the memory, but stamped there with a die; and in the long years after, they can be called up in detail, and every emotion that was stirred by them can be lived through anew; these are the tragedies of life  (Upon Quotes) If a man is to shed the light of the sun upon other men, he must first of all have it within himself  (Upon Quotes) The standard of matrimony is erected by affection and purity, and does not depend upon the height, or bulk, or color, or wealth, or poverty of individuals. Water will seek its level; nature will have free course; and heart will answer to heart  (Upon Quotes) You’re walking down life’s road, society’s foot is on your throat, every which way you turn you can’t get from under that foot. And you reach a fork in the road and you can either lie down and die, or insist upon your life  (Upon Quotes) We can’t float through life. We can’t be incidental or accidental. We must fix our gaze on a guiding star as soon as one comes upon the horizon and once we have attached ourselves to that star we must keep our eyes on it and our hands upon the plow. It is the consistency of the pursuit of the highest possible vision that you can find in front of you that gives you the constancy, that gives you the encouragement, that gives you the way to understand where you are and why it’s important for you to do what you can do  (Upon Quotes) I died upon that mountain. There is no question. A part of me will forever be upon that mountain. Dead. That’s my brothers died. If there’s a part of me that live, because of my brothers. Because of them I am still alive, and I can never forget, that no matter how much it hurts, how dark it gets, or how far you fall. You are never out of the fight  (Upon Quotes) Some people are trapped by the belief that love comes in finite quantities, and that our kind of love exhausts the supply upon which they need to draw. I do not accept competitive models of love, only additive ones  (Upon Quotes) Children are notoriously curious about everything, everything except... the things people want them to know. It then remains for us to refrain from forcing any kind of knowledge upon them, and they will be curious about everything  (Upon Quotes)
