Wherefrom Quotes

He showed the world what can be done against the odds, against a superpower. He showed - and this is where Vietnam and Iraq come in, that in a war between an imperialist occupier and the people who actually live there, the people will eventually prevail. They know the terrain. They have more at stake. They have nowhere else to go Picture Quote #1

All the lives I could live, all the people I will never know, never will be, they are everywhere. That is all that the world is Picture Quote #1

So you are Catholic? Didn't know that. I am nothing, I said. God knows God is no friend of mine. But I envy people who believe in this crap. They don't worry about the meaning of life and things, whereas I do Picture Quote #1

Displacement results in a tenuous relationship with the past, with the self that used to exist and operate in a different place, where the qualities that constituted us were in no need of negotiation. Immigration is an ontological crisis because you are forced to negotiate the conditions of your self-hood under perpetually changing existential circumstances Picture Quote #1

If you can't go home, there is nowhere to go, and nowhere is the biggest place in the world - indeed, nowhere is the world Picture Quote #1

All the lives we could live, all the people we will never know, never will be, they are everywhere. That is what the world is Picture Quote #1

And did the biblical Lazarus have a mother? What did she do when he was resurrected? Did he bid her good-bye before he returned to his undeath? Was he the same son to her undead as he was alive? I read that he sailed to Marseilles with his sisters afterward, where he may or may not have died again Picture Quote #1

What is life? This is no life. Who wants this life? The dead leave it to us to struggle in this world. They go elsewhere, wherever it is, and wait for God to sort it all out. But we have to stay here, no matter how hard it is. Nobody can be alone. Life is the life of others. My life, your life, that is nothing Picture Quote #1

I will never know you, nothing about you, what has died inside you, what has lived invisibly. I am elsewhere now Picture Quote #1

We've reached a point in American history when death has become almost the last obscenity. Have you noticed how many of us refuse to say ‘he or she died'? We're far more likely to say ‘she passed away, ' as though death were a sterile process of modest preparation, followed by shrink-wrapping, then rapid transit-where? Well, elsewhere. In short, it's the single thing we're loath to discuss in public Picture Quote #1

If our family was an airline, Mom was the hub and we were the spokes. You rarely went anywhere nonstop; you went via Mom, who directed the traffic flow and determined the priorities: which family member was cleared for takeoff or landing. Even my father was not immune to Mom's scheduling, though he was given more leeway than the rest of us Picture Quote #1

It is not by regretting what is irreparable that true work is to be done, but by making the best of what we are. It is not by complaining that we have not the right tools, but by using well the tools we have. What we are, and where we are is God's providential arrangement - God's doing, though it may be man's misdoing; and the manly and the wise way is to look your disadvantages in the face, and see what can be made our of them Picture Quote #1

The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive - you are leaking Picture Quote #1

I'm talking about those novels where the characters aren't really interesting and you don't care about them or anything they care about. It's those books I won't read anymore. There's too much else to read - books about people and things that matter, books about life and death Picture Quote #1

Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus' name, Amen Picture Quote #1

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world Picture Quote #1

How convalescence shrinks a man back to his pristine stature! Where is now the space, which he occupied so lately, in his own, in the family's eye? Picture Quote #1

The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is not true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only. Where real repentance is, there is obedience; for repentance is not only sorrow for past failures and sins, it is a determination to begin now to do the will of God as He reveals it to us Picture Quote #1

Courage is the main quality of leadership, in my opinion, no matter where it is exercised. Usually it implies some risk - especially in new undertakings. Courage to initiate something and to keep it going, pioneering and adventurous spirit to blaze new ways, often, in our land of opportunity Picture Quote #1

The cheerful Sabbath bells, wherever heard, strike pleasant on the sense, most like the voice of one, who from the far-off hills proclaims tidings of good to Zion Picture Quote #1

God perfectly knows Himself and, being the source and author of all things, it follows that He knows all that can be known. And this He knows instantly and with a fullness of perfection that includes every possible item of knowledge concerning everything that exists or could have existed anywhere in the universe at any time in the past or that may exist in the centuries or ages yet unborn Picture Quote #1

The ancient image of God whispers within every man of everlasting hope; somewhere he will continue to exist. Still he cannot rejoice, for the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world troubles his conscience, frightening him with proofs of guilt and evidences of coming death. So is he ground between the upper millstone of hope and the nether stone of fear Picture Quote #1

I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place - a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it Picture Quote #1

Look at these poisonous color maps where flesh trees grow from human sacrifices; listen to these sniggering half-heard words of tenderness and doom from lips spotted with decay Picture Quote #1

I have a dream that my four children will one day life in a nation where they are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character Picture Quote #1

No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star Picture Quote #1

True religion is removed from diet and days, from garments and ceremonies, and placed where it belongs-in the union of the spirit of man with the Spirit of God Picture Quote #1

Rather was it not a series of seven uneasy days, spent in restless pursuit of pleasure, and a wearisome anxiety to find out how to make the most of them? Where was the quiet, where the promised rest? Picture Quote #1

As I stood outside in Cow Lane, it occurred to me that Heaven must be a place where the library is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. No... eight days a week Picture Quote #1

What intrigued me more than anything else was finding out the way in which everything, all of creation - all of it! - was held together by invisible chemical bonds, and I found a strange, inexplicable comfort in knowing that somewhere, even though we couldn't see it in our own world, there was a real stability Picture Quote #1
