Famous Quotes & Sayings

Blaise Pascal

Evil is easily discovered; there is an infinite variety; good is almost unique. But some kinds of evil are almost as difficult to discover as that which we call good; and often particular evil of this class passes for good. It needs even a certain greatness of soul to attain to this, as to that which is good.

Claire Danes

I don't know any celebrated people that register in a big way who aren't unique.

Chris Martin

A band's only unique thing is its chemistry, especially if none of you are prodigious players or particularly handsome. The one thing you have is your uniqueness, so we hold on to that.

Jacques Monod

Modern societies accepted the treasures and the power offered them by science. But they have not accepted - they have scarcely even heard - its profounder message: the defining of a new and unique source of truth, and the demand for a thorough revision of ethical premises, for a complete break with the animist tradition, the definitive abandonment of the 'old covenant', the necessity of forging a new one. Armed with all the powers, enjoying all the riches they owe to science, our societies are still trying to live by and to teach systems of values already blasted at the root by science itself.

Jacques Ellul

Having analyzed these traits, we can now advance a definition of propaganda not an exhaustive definition, unique and exclusive of all others, but at least a partial one: Propaganda is a set of methods employed by an organized group that wants to bring about the active or passive participation in its actions of a mass of individuals, psychologically unified through psychological manipulations and incorporated in an organization.

Henry Rollins

Being unique is never easy, and often, by the time culture catches up with you, there are only a few people who notice.

M. Scott Peck

The problem of unmet expectations in marriage is primarily a problem of stereotyping. Each and every human being on this planet is a unique person. Since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other. Yet we tend to wed with explicit visions of what a “good” marriage ought to be like. Then we suffer enormously from trying to force the relationship to fit the stereotype and from the neurotic guilt and anger we experience when we fail to pull it off.

Eric Hoffer

That which is unique and worthwhile in us makes itself felt only in flashes. If we do not know how to catch and savor the flashes we are without growth and exhilaration.

Emmylou Harris

I think everyone's voice is unique. Although sometimes when you listen to the radio, it makes you wonder.

Azar Nafisi

What we search for in fiction is not so much reality, but the epiphany of truth.

Jamie Drummond

Not only has President Bush broken his word on funding, he has not put in the effort required to turn this excellent idea into a lifesaving reality.

Carl Sandburg

A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.

Arthur C. Clarke

Any path to knowledge is a path to God-or Reality, whichever word one prefers to use

Brian Cox

We explore because we are curious, not because we wish to develop grand views of reality or better widgets.

Brian Reynolds

The reality is we all have to work together to make it work. We're going to be congenial with everyone. We're not telling people to park on the street.

Billy Blanks

Today is a reality, tomorrow's a promise, and yesterday's history!

Deepak Chopra

Since consciousness is the basis of all reality, any shift in consciousness changes every aspect of our reality. Reality is created by consciousness differentiating into cognition, moods, emotions, perceptions, behavior, speech, social interactions, environment, interaction with the forces of nature, and biology. As consciousness evolves, these different aspects of consciousness also change.

There is only God. REALITY is God and has never required your belief. This reality no "one" survives. In Ultimate Reality no "one" is saved either - there is simply nothing to save you "from" : you have not emerged from any "other" and there is no place else for "you" to disappear into. Ever.
