And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." "Within each of us, oftentimes, there dwells a mighty and raging fury." "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." "Accept the things to which fate binds you and love the people with whom fate brings you together but do so with all your heart." "I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me." "If you were to turn into a snake tomorrow and begin devouring humans, and from the same mouth you started devouring humans, you cried out to me 'I love you,' would I still be able to say 'I love you' the same way I do today?" “What Woody realizes in the end is that we can love someone and let them go, and that our physical separation doesn’t diminish the realness or beauty of that relationship.” "Oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid. I see you there, lurking on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy, squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you do you return to the center of my eye? Oh, squiggly line, it's all right. You are forgiven." "Never ask why I love you, just accept that I do, and that I will for the rest of my life." "Happiness is not in us, nor is happiness outside of us. Happiness is in God alone. And if we have found Him, then it is everywhere." “Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are stupider than that.” "A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand" "Does it mean nothing to you that you are everything to me?" "I will take up my pencil, which I had forsaken in my discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing." "But I, being poor, have only my dreams; "Well, it seems to me that the best relationships— the ones that last— are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with." "Everybody stutters one way or the other, “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” "I wonder can I carry on with the speed of the world without you in it." "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" "And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart." "When the cold of Winter comes "Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see." “Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy.” "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." "It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony." "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you." "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." "All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." "If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law." "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." "Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe." "Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices." "Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men." "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." "In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of." "Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death." "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men." "A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self." "Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." "Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart." "A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act." "We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." "Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." "A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." "Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them." "If you're going through hell, keep going." "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." "Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company." "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear." "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." "The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." "The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers." |
