And if the years vanish in their course, they are still only successions of days that pass right through us as we pass through them in order to seek constantly what You have to show us ... to remain constantly in Your embrace, just as the whole of time remains in the embrace of eternity. ~ Adrienne Von Speyr
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Von Speyr
The first step in learning to love others is the attempt to understand them. ~ Adrienne Von Speyr
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Von Speyr
joy and sorrow, when they are both lived in God, signify fruitfulness for the apostolate. ~ Adrienne Von Speyr
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Von Speyr
Her [Mary's] motherhood extends beyond view. In the will of the Son, she becomes at once mother and maid: sheltering him, but sheltered in him, forming him, but formed by him ... When she pronounces the words: 'Be it done to me according to thy word', the Mother conceives the mystery from the Trinity, in order to give it to the Son. The Son gives the word back to the Trinity by giving everything he has back to the Father in the Spirit. Then, after the Father has received it again, it is distributed to mankind by means of that extravagant expansioning-the Eucharist and the Holy Spirit. ~ Adrienne Von Speyr
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Von Speyr
To suggest that the grief of Christ issues from his perfect wisdom and
charity would confirm that true sorrow is human and therefore cannot
correspond to despair, since the hopelessness of despair would yield nothing
about which to sorrow. If life is meaningless, there is no reason to
mourn. Truth is what makes grief authentic and real, and so it follows
that Truth Incarnate, come down from heaven to our vale of tears, would
grieve at the highest pitch. The "tragic experience of the most complete
desolation"49 depends on "the knowledge and experience of the Father."50
Or as Adrienne von Speyr puts it: "The Father is never more present than
in this absence on the Cross. ~ Aaron Riches
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Aaron Riches
When the Son on the Cross promises paradise in his company to the good thief, when he promises the future feast in Heaven to the Apostles, when he speaks of the kingdom of the Father, he is always pointing toward eternity. However brief and close to the earth his words sound, they echo throughout infinite eternity and permeate the faith of his followers with their eternal content. He knows what he speaks of, what he brings with him and what he promises; and he can convey it to those who know it not. The very words he uses are designed to awaken in them a new sense: the sense of the eternal. ~ Adrienne Von Speyr
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Von Speyr
What people call the spirit of the times is mostly their own spirit in which the times mirror themselves. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Clever people are always the best conversations lexicon. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The total subject of mathematics is clearly too broad for any of us. I do not think that any mathematician since Gauss has covered it uniformly and fully; even Hilbert did not and all of us are of considerably lesser width quite apart from the question of depth than Hilbert. ~ John Von Neumann
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by John Von Neumann
He didn't say anything. He lay there with his eyes closed for a long time after that, sculling along the surface of the sea of pain a little nearer to his story's end or maybe, if that great eschatologist Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun turned out to be right, toward story on the opposite shore that was waiting to begin. ~ Michael Chabon
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Michael Chabon
Number, as it were, lies behind the psychic realm as a dynamic ordering principle, the primal element of which Jung called spirit. As an archetype, number becomes not only a psychic factor, but more generally, a world-structuring factor. In other words, numbers point to a background reality in which psyche and matter are no longer distinguishable. ~ Marie-Louise Von Franz
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Marie-Louise Von Franz
Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations. ~ Wilhelm Von Humboldt
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Wilhelm Von Humboldt
We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right. ~ Wilhelm Von Humboldt
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Wilhelm Von Humboldt
I think even if you are mostly flaws and sad stories so am I and so is everyone. I think your flaws and sad stories go well with mine. I want to kiss your sad stories on the forehead. ~ Clementine Von Radics
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Clementine Von Radics
Suicides pay the world a bad compliment. Indeed, it may so happen that the world has been beforehand with them in incivility. Granted. Even then the retaliation is at their own expense. ~ Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
But even though questions of currency policy are never more than questions of the value of money, they are sometimes disguised so that their true nature is hidden from the uninitiated. Public opinion is dominated by erroneous views on the nature of money and its value, and misunderstood slogans have to take the place of clear and precise ideas. The fine and complicated mechanism of the money and credit system is wrapped in obscurity, the proceedings on the Stock Exchange are a mystery, the function and significance of the banks elude interpretation. So it is not surprising that the arguments brought forward in the conflict of the different interests often missed the point altogether. Counsel was darkened with cryptic phrases whose meaning was probably hidden even from those who uttered them. Americans spoke of 'the dollar of our fathers' and Austrians of 'our dear old gulden note'; silver, the money of the common man, was set up against gold, the money of the aristocracy. Many a tribune of the people, in many a passionate discourse, sounded the loud praises of silver, which, hidden in deep mines, lay awaiting the time when it should come forth into the light of day to ransom miserable humanity, languishing in its wretchedness. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
No matter the truth, people see what they want to see.. ~ Cecily Von Ziegesar
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Cecily Von Ziegesar
Under capitalism the common man enjoys amenities which in ages gone by were unknown and therefore inaccessible even to the richest people. But, of course, these motorcars, television sets and refrigerators do not make a man happy. In the instant in which he acquires them, he may feel happier than he did before. But as soon as some of his wishes are satisfied, new wishes spring up. Such is human nature. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
All changes in space which we see, hear, smell or taste are literally tactile impressions. All our senses are variations of our unique sense of touch. Two approaching objects touch one another when they finally meet without a noticeable space between them. ... This is what happens in any condensing matter in which the outer aspects move towards a centre ... Each single part of matter approaches its neighboring part until the two collide, causing an impact or a pressure. It is space, which appears and disappears between and round object and in the movements of the particles of the object. ~ Rudolf Von Laban
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Rudolf Von Laban
Your battle is over. Live your life, be happy, love deeply. ~ Adrienne Wilder
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Wilder
Oh Gertrud,' I cried, intolerably stirred by the bare mention of that
bed, 'this is a bleak and mischievous world, isn't it? Do you think we
shall ever be warm and comfortable and happy again? ~ Elizabeth Von Arnim
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Elizabeth Von Arnim
In fact, an information theory that leaves out the issue of noise turns out to have no content. ~ Hans Christian Von Baeyer
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Hans Christian Von Baeyer
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. ~ Wernher Von Braun
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Wernher Von Braun
Have you ever wondered where the idea of retirement at the age of 65 came from? I'll tell you where: Otto von Bismarck, the president of Prussia, in 1889. Actually, Bismarck's government: At the time, the life expectancy of the average Prussian was about 45. Today, so many are living well into their 80s and 90s that the same promise might well bankrupt the federal government within the next generation. ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Robert T. Kiyosaki
The mathematical forms of order which the mind of a physicist manipulates coincides "miraculously" with experimental measurements. ~ Marie-Louise Von Franz
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Marie-Louise Von Franz
In capitalist enterprise there is no secure income and no security of wealth. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
Oh, don't be a spoilsport. Gossip is sexy. Gossip is good. Not everybody does it, but everybody should! ~ Cecily Von Ziegesar
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Cecily Von Ziegesar
collect As many tripods as you think you'll need, Together with the other kinds of vessels That the rites of sacrifice require: cauldrons, Shallow basins, bowls; pour tall jugs full 8860 Of purest water from the sacred spring; Have ready wood that's dry and quick to catch; And finally, be sure a sharp knife's there. All else I leave to you." Those ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The FDA has formed a rapid response team. ~ Andrew Von Eschenbach
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Andrew Von Eschenbach
Age merely shows what children we remain. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The new vulcanism is really a daring attempt to connect the present, incomprehensible world to a past, unknown one. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I fling unconscious tendrils of belief, like slender green threads, across statements such as these, statements made so unequivocally, which have no tone or shadow of tentativeness. I build them into the mosaic of my world. I allow my universe to change in minute, significant ways, on the basis of things you have said to me, of my trust in you. ~ Adrienne Rich
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Rich
You are now 18
standing on the precipice,
trembling before your own greatness.

This is your call to leap.

There will always being those
who say you are too young and delicate
to make anything happen for yourself.
They don't see the part of you that smolders.
Don't let their doubting drown out
the sound of your own heartbeat.

You are the first drop of a hurricane.

Your bravery builds beyond you
You are needed by all the little girls
still living in secret, writing oceans
made of monsters and
throwing like lightening.

You don't need to grow up to find greatness.

You are stronger than the world
has ever believed you to be.
The world is waiting for you to set it on fire
Trust in yourself
and burn. ~ Clementine Von Radics
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Clementine Von Radics
Socialism has never and nowhere been at first a working-class movement. It is by no means an obvious remedy for the obvious evil which the interests of that class will necessarily demand. It is a construction of theorists. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
Desperate to become enriched by books, I sometimes barely remembered what I'd read, yet the unconscious effect of so many sentences felt cumulative, like recurring dreams. ~ Adrienne Brodeur
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Brodeur
It's 11 am and I'm sitting in a restaurant
3 beers in. Believe me, even I'm surprised
I'm still alive sometimes.
I have been drinking about you for 2 days.
Lately you remind me of a wild thing
chewing through its foot. But you
are already free and I don't know what to do
except trace the rough line of your jaw
and try not to place blame.
Here is the truth: It is hard to be in love
with someone who is in love someone else.
I don't know how to turn that into poetry. ~ Clementine Von Radics
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Clementine Von Radics
People are good at figuring out what's attractive, and computers are good at quickly searching and finding. You put them together, and bang! ~ Luis Von Ahn
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Luis Von Ahn
Glib tongues frill up their hash of knowledge
for mankind in polished speeches
that are no more than vaporous winds
rustling the fallen leaves in autumn. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Without war no State could be. All those we know of arose through war, and the protection of their members by armed force remains their primary and essential task. War, therefore, will endure to the end of history, as long as there is a multiplicity of states. ~ Heinrich Von Treitschke
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Heinrich Von Treitschke
Know thyself! This is the source of all wisdom, said the great thinkers of the past, and the sentence was written in golden letters on the temple of the gods. To know himself, Linnaeus declared to be the essential indisputable distinction of man above all other creatures. I know, indeed, in study nothing more worthy of free and thoughtful man than the study of himself. For if we look for the purpose of our existence, we cannot possibly find it outside ourselves. We are here for our own sake. ~ Karl Ernst Von Baer
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Karl Ernst Von Baer
Traveling is like gambling: it is always connected with winning and losing and generally where it is least expected we receive, more or less than what we hoped for. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
In all the horror films that I have done, all of those women were strong women. I don't feel I ever played the victim, although I was always in jeopardy. ~ Adrienne Barbeau
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Adrienne Barbeau
I let everyone follow his own bent, that I may be free to follow mine. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Egotism is more like an offense, than a crime; though it is allowable to speak of yourself, provided nothing is advanced in favor; but I cannot help suspecting that those who abuse themselves are, in reality, angling for approbation. ~ Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
No other human activity is so continuously or universally bound up with chance. And through the element of chance, guesswork and luck come to play a great part in war. ~ Carl Von Clausewitz
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Carl Von Clausewitz
I've never been in a barroom brawl in my life. I just don't do such things. ~ Max Von Sydow
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Max Von Sydow
Only learn to seize good fortune, for good fortune's always here. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Fortunately a human being can comprehend only a certain degree of unhappiness; anything beyond it destroys him or leaves him cold. There are situations in which fear and hope become one and the same, cancel one another out, and lose themselves in a dark insensateness. How else could we know the people we love best to be in continual danger and yet go on with our daily lives as usual? ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The style of writing required in the great world is distinguished by a free and daring grace, a careless security, a fine and sharp polish, a delicate and perfect taste; while that fitted for the people is characterized by a vigorous natural fulness, a profound depth of feeling, and an engaging naivete. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
When you lose interest in anything, you also lose the memory for it. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Adrienne Von Speyr quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
There will never be anyone like you, Morgan."
He closed his eyes for a moment.
"Never, not in a million years or a million lifetimes, will there be anyone else who has what I want. ~ Adrienne Wilder
