Witness Quotes

Our work is not to change what you do, but to witness what you do with enough awareness, enough curiosity, enough tenderness that the lies and old decisions upon which the compulsion is based become apparent and fall away. When you no longer believe that eating will save your life when you feel exhausted or overwhelmed or lonely, you will stop. When you believe in yourself more than you believe in food, you will stop using food as if it were your only chance at not falling apart. When the shape of your body no longer matches the shape of your beliefs, the weight disappears Picture Quote #1

Apple has a culture of excellence that is, I think, so unique and so special. I’m not going to witness or permit the change of it Picture Quote #1

Death does not simply end life. It steals away the sunsets you’ll never see, the children you’ll ever hold, the wife you’ll never love. It’s frightening to almost lose your future and it’s heartbreaking to witness death snuff out other people’s tomorrows Picture Quote #1

The conspiracy community regularly seizes on one slip of the tongue, misunderstanding, or slight discrepancy to defeat twenty pieces of solid evidence; accepts one witness of theirs, even if he or she is a provable nut, as being far more credible than ten normal witnesses on the other side; treats rumors, even questions, as the equivalent of proof; leaps from the most minuscule of discoveries to the grandest of conclusions; and insists that the failure to explain everything perfectly negates all that is explained Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, all previous advances in the various lines of invention will appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the wonders which are at the threshold Picture Quote #1

A serious life, by definition, is a life one reflects on, a life one tries to make sense of and bear witness to. Truth in a memoir is achieved not through a recital of actual events; it is achieved when the reader comes to believe that the writer is working hard to engage with the experience at hand. What happened to the writer is not what matters; what matters is the large sense that the writer is able to make of what happened Picture Quote #1

I suggest you take a look at yourself. Not the concepts, not the ideas, not the goods, not the bads. But a timeless purity of existence. A witness to the beauty that is Picture Quote #1

When we go... to bear witness to life on the streets, we’re offering ourselves. Not blankets, not food, not clothes, just ourselves Picture Quote #1

The strength of the church is not the strength of its institutions but the authenticity of its witness Picture Quote #1

Writing is in fact an entirely outworn, decayed and corrupt convention whose chief and most conspicuous character is its monumental witness to the conservatism, laziness and irrationality of men and women Picture Quote #1

Because war and preparations for war have acquired legitimacy, and because of the tremendous proliferation of arms through production and export, so that they are now available more or less to all and sundry, right down to handguns and stilettos, the cult of violence has by now so permeated relations between people that we are compelled to witness as well an increase in everyday violence Picture Quote #1

The work of art expresses precisely those things which do not die. It must do so, however, in a form that bears witness to the artist’s own era Picture Quote #1

Long fiction is wonderful and you can lose yourself in it as a reader and as a writer, but short stories don’t allow the same kind of immersion. Often the best stories hold you back and make you witness them. This may be one of the reasons some people reject the form. That and the fact that they are harder work to read. A story will not let you get comfortable and settle in. It is like a stool that is so small that you must always be aware of sitting Picture Quote #1

It is hard to witness to truth to people who believe truth is relative. It is hard to proclaim the forgiveness of sins to people who believe that, since morality is relative, they have no sins to forgive Picture Quote #1

When you are sad or in pain or sick or you witness any cremation then you actually learn the many truths of life Picture Quote #1

That which we witness, we are forever changed by, and once witnessed we can never go back Picture Quote #1

Nothing in the world can be compared to the human face. It is a land one can never tire of exploring. There is no greater experience in a studio than to witness the expression of a sensitive face under the mysterious power of inspiration. To see it animated from inside, and turning into poetry Picture Quote #1

I have the great privilege of being both witness and storyteller. Intimacy, trust and intuition guide my work Picture Quote #1

I want my work to become part of our visual history, to enter our collective memory and our collective conscience. I hope it will serve to remind us that history’s deepest tragedies concern not the great protagonists who set events in motion but the countless ordinary people who are caught up in those events and torn apart by their remorseless fury. I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated Picture Quote #1

And even one life that bears witness to the truth of the prosperity law will quicken the consciousness of the whole community Picture Quote #1

Inside any important philanthropy meeting, you witness heads of state meeting with investment managers and corporate leaders. All are searching for answers with their right hand to problems that others in the room have created with their left Picture Quote #1

Empathy is the faculty to resonate with the feelings of others. When we meet someone who is joyful, we smile. When we witness someone in pain, we suffer in resonance with his or her suffering Picture Quote #1

I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated Picture Quote #1

All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it Picture Quote #1

As athletes, we think we’re heroes, but when you witness firsthand what I saw yesterday, you realize who the real heroes are Picture Quote #1

The ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self: the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone Picture Quote #1

The mere summoning of a witness and compelling him to testify against his will, about his beliefs, expressions or associations, is a measure of governmental interference. And when those forced revelations concern maters that are unorthodox, unpopular, or even hateful to the general public, the reactions in the life of the witness may be disastrous Picture Quote #1

The actions of bad men produce only temporary evil, the actions of good men only temporary good ; and eventually the good and the evil altogether subside, are neutralized by subsequent generations, absorbed by the incessant movements of future ages. But the discoveries of great men never leave us; they are immortal; they contain those eternal truths which survive the shock of empires, outlive the struggles of rival creeds, and witness the decay of successive religions Picture Quote #1

Architecture is exposed to life. If its body is sensitive enough, it can assume a quality that bears witness to past life Picture Quote #1

If in a country, most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few, then this country can hardly witness harmony and stability Picture Quote #1
