The Muslim world, with its history and cultures, and indeed its different interpretations of Islam, is still little known in the West ... The two worlds, Muslim and non-Muslim, Eastern and Western, must, as a matter of urgency, make a real effort to get to know one another, for I fear that what we have is not a clash of civilisations, but a clash of ignorance on both sides. ~ Aga Khan IV
Different Interpretations quotes by Aga Khan IV
I think there are fundamentalists all over the world. I think all religions have fundamentalists who have different interpretations of scriptures that are very vague. ~ Ishmael Reed
Different Interpretations quotes by Ishmael Reed
The world offers many possibilities for different sensory universes, which support very different interpretations of the world's significance. In this way our so-called Universe is already very much a multiverse. ~ Frank Wilczek
Different Interpretations quotes by Frank Wilczek
The good thing is in my case I'm all about love and communications, so there was no hard feelings, it was like ok we reached the end of this season and I wish you well and it's time to move on. As a pop song it's definitely open to many different interpretations, I received a call from a cousin saying that it helped her heal after an abusive relationship and another friend said it represented her of a summer fling. We tried to write carefully so that it can be relatable to cover a wide audience. ~ Alyson Stoner
Different Interpretations quotes by Alyson Stoner
When people complain, for instance, that they find it hard to believe, it is a sign of deliberate or unconscious disobedience... The outcome is usually that self-imparted absolution confirms the man in his disobedience, and makes him plead ignorance of the kindness as well as the commandment of God. He complains that Godís commandment is uncertain, and susceptible of different interpretations. At first he was aware enough of his disobedience, but with his increasing hardness of heart that awareness grows ever fainter, and in the end he becomes so enmeshed that he loses all capacity for hearing the Word, and faith is quite impossible... It is time to take the bull by the horns, and say: 'Only those who obey believe.'... 'You are disobedient, you are trying to keep some part of your life under your own control. That is what is preventing you from listening to Christ and believing in His Grace. You cannot hear Christ because you are willfully disobedient. Somewhere in your heart you are refusing to listen to his call. Your difficulty is your sins.' Christ now enters the lists again and comes to grips with the devil, who until now has been hiding. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Different Interpretations quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Even though the outside world has not changed, your brain dynamically presents different interpretations. ~ David Eagleman
Different Interpretations quotes by David Eagleman
Book reviews have never helped me. Most of them erred in their interpretations and their work has been a waste of time. ~ Manuel Puig
Different Interpretations quotes by Manuel Puig
Differing perspectives, needs, and desires sometimes have a way of spawning completely different interpretations of the same events. ~ Michael Makai
Different Interpretations quotes by Michael Makai
To what a degree the same past can leave different marks - and especially admit of different interpretations. ~ Andre Gide
Different Interpretations quotes by Andre Gide
There are lots of different interpretations of the word 'prodigy.' My own is of someone who is talented and tries to help other children. So in that respect I could be called one, although I don't think I'll go off the rails. ~ Adora Svitak
Different Interpretations quotes by Adora Svitak
The religious and irreligious are agreeing with each other almost all the time. Their rhetoric is the same, and their plans are the same. Through slightly different interpretations, they all think the same thing is going to happen, that the Earth is going to be perfected and that humans are going to do the work of perfecting it. ~ Christine Jennings
Different Interpretations quotes by Christine Jennings
The reason I often say, for me, photography is analogous to poetry, for my kind of work more so than journalism, is because it's so open to interpretation. And I'm very happy having different interpretations of it. ~ Alec Soth
Different Interpretations quotes by Alec Soth
There are different interpretations of the problem of universals. I understand it as the problem of giving the truthmakers of propositions to the effect that a certain particular is such and such, e.g. propositions like 'this rose is red'. Others have interpreted it as a problem about the ontological commitments of such propositions or a problem about what those propositions mean. ~ Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
Different Interpretations quotes by Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
The Bible is not a set of instructions that can give us simple answers," wrote Webber, "nor a text with which to prove points ... . The guidance the Bible gives was provided for a society very different from ours ... and any set of words is open to different interpretations. ~ Sara Miles
Different Interpretations quotes by Sara Miles
The (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) stories were great, for one. The thing that makes him a remarkable character is how he can withstand all of these different interpretations and different styles and, that's what makes a classic character a classic character; they keep coming back and you see them in a new way every time. ~ Laura Linney
Different Interpretations quotes by Laura Linney
Everyone in a complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretations we gather, the easier it becomes to gain a sense of the whole. ~ Margaret J. Wheatley
Different Interpretations quotes by Margaret J. Wheatley
The calamities that are constantly being reported - battles, massacres, famines, revolutions - tend to inspire in the average person a feeling of unreality. One has no way of verifying the facts, one is not even fully certain that they have happened, and one is always presented with totally different interpretations from different sources. Probably the truth is discoverable, but the facts will be so dishonestly set forth in almost any newspaper that the ordinary reader can be forgiven either for swallowing lies or for failing to form an opinion. The general uncertainty as to what is really happening makes it easier to cling to lunatic beliefs. Since nothing is ever quite proved or disproved, the most unmistakable fact can be impudently denied. Moreover, although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge, the nationalist is often somewhat uninterested in what happens in the real world. What he wants is to feel that his own unit is getting the better of some other unit, and he can more easily do this by scoring off an adversary than by examining the facts to see whether they support him. ~ George Orwell
Different Interpretations quotes by George Orwell
There's the ambiguity of human relationships, for instance. A relationship between two people, just like a sequence of words, is ambiguous if it is open to different interpretations. And if two people do have differing views about their relationship - I don't just mean about its state, I mean about its very nature - then that difference can affect the entire course of their lives. ~ Elliot Perlman
Different Interpretations quotes by Elliot Perlman
In the 300 years of the crucifixion of Christ to the conversion of Emperor Constantine, polytheistic Roman emperors initiated no more than four general persecutions of Christians. Local administrators and governors incited some anti-Christian violence of their own. Still, if we combine all the victims of all these persecutions, it turns out that in these three centuries the polytheistic Romans killed no more than a few thousand Christians. In contrast, over the course, of the next 1,500 years, Christians slaughtered Christians by the millions, to defend slightly different interpretations of the religion of love and compassion. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Different Interpretations quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
The rub is that any work of nonsense abounds with so many inviting symbols that you can start with any assumption you please about the author and easily build up an impressive case for it. Consider, for example, the scene in which Alice seizes the end of the White King's pencil and begins scribbling for him. In five minutes one can invent six different interpretations. ~ Martin Gardner
Different Interpretations quotes by Martin Gardner
Love wasn't a piece of music you could play over and over again with different interpretations. It actually needed to be improvised as you went along. ~ Tobsha Learner
Different Interpretations quotes by Tobsha Learner
Being a Christian does not mean that there is one way of living a Christian life, people do it differently in different cultures because they have different interpretations, that's how it should be. The disciples had arguments with Jesus! It is about listening to one another, and respecting one another with those differences. ~ Alan Green
Different Interpretations quotes by Alan Green
There is no "true Islam," just different interpretations. ~ Shirin Ebadi
Different Interpretations quotes by Shirin Ebadi
An experiment in nature, like a text in the Bible, is capable of different interpretations, according to the preconceptions of the interpreter. ~ William Jones
Different Interpretations quotes by William Jones
Through hand gestures was no easy business. A single gesture could have many different significations. Even the mano infica turned out to have three different interpretations: it could mean the subject was warding off evil, or dishing out an insult, or making a kind of offensive or impertinent invitation. ~ Ross King
Different Interpretations quotes by Ross King
Before the Thunderhead, governments had constitutions and massive tomes of laws - yet even then, they were forever debated and challenged and manipulated. Wars were fought over the different interpretations of the same doctrine. ~ Neal Shusterman
Different Interpretations quotes by Neal Shusterman
Frustrated, Carl said, 'Ain't we anarchyists?'
'It's pronounced an-are-kists. And no, we aren't.'
'I thought we was.'
'We rule through chaos. That's different.'
Carl sounded like a pouting child. 'We need to be doing some anarchyism.'
Intellectual arguments between satanists were less witty than I had expected. ~ Dean Koontz
Different Interpretations quotes by Dean Koontz
I have had the occasion to meet child actors from the '60s and '70s at various functions, and everyone's gone on to various different lives - they're real-estate agents or surfers. ~ Mike Lookinland
Different Interpretations quotes by Mike Lookinland
Proactive people show you what they love, what they want, what they purpose, and what they stand for. These people are very different from those who are known by what they hate, what they don't like, what they stand against, and what they will not do. ~ Henry Cloud
Different Interpretations quotes by Henry Cloud
Actors tell stories and we play different characters, and not all of them are healthy. ~ Andrea Roth
Different Interpretations quotes by Andrea Roth
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point? ~ Taylor Swift
Different Interpretations quotes by Taylor Swift
Actors aren't all the same. They have very different skills. There are actors of intellect who are very thoughtful about everything they do ... and then there are actors of instinct who don't know what they're doing until the cameras roll ... My father was actually quite thoughtful about what he did, while my mother was much more instinctual. ~ Campbell Scott
Different Interpretations quotes by Campbell Scott
Marriage is under attack from so many different areas. There should be benefits associated with married people. Life is unfair. Maybe you won't find the right person and you won't end up getting married. Oh, well, life is unfair. But married people, because of their capacity to have children, even if they're not going to end up having children, even if they're unable to bear children, marriage is an institution that is absolutely central to civilization. ~ Ann Coulter
Different Interpretations quotes by Ann Coulter
Every crowd is different. But that's something that I enjoy, and you can feel it in the first few seconds when you walk out on stage. You know, how a crowd is. ~ Lyle Lovett
Different Interpretations quotes by Lyle Lovett
God is different to us now, after all these years in Africa. More spirit than ever before, and more internal. Most people think he has to look like something or someone- a roofleaf or Christ- but we don't. And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us. ~ Alice Walker
Different Interpretations quotes by Alice Walker
When you're an author, you're always two people. Jasper the writer is different from Jasper the person at home. ~ Jasper Fforde
Different Interpretations quotes by Jasper Fforde
You don't do that.
You don't just announce that your dad built a mysterious house on a sacred spot for dryads, then get up and leave without an explanation.
So, of course, that's what Meg did.
"See you in the morning," she announced to no one in particular.
She trudged up the ramp, still barefoot despite traipsing past twenty different species of cactus, and slipped into the dark. ~ Rick Riordan
Different Interpretations quotes by Rick Riordan
I wanted to change my fate, to force it down another road. I wanted to stand in the river of time and make it flow a different direction, if just for a little while. ~ April Genevieve Tucholke
Different Interpretations quotes by April Genevieve Tucholke
I go and see anything that's visually new, any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different, but someone using it will. ~ David Hockney
Different Interpretations quotes by David Hockney
Notice in Acts 4 that there were "no needy persons among them." Why? Because they shared with "anyone one who had need." The expression of neediness in the community allowed the economy of love to flow. But in churches in America and other places where affluence poses special problems, the situation is very different. These cultures are enslaved to the fear of death and death avoidance holds serious sway. In these cultures the expression of need is taboo and pornographic. What results is neurotic image-management, the pressure to be "fine." The perversity here is that on the surface American churches do look like the church in Acts 4 - there are "no needy persons" among us. We all appear to be doing just fine, thank you very much.

But we know this to be a sham, a collective delusion driven by the fear of death. I'm really not fine and neither are you. But you are afraid of me and I'm afraid of you. We are neurotic about being vulnerable with each other. We fear exposing our need and failure to each other. And because of this fear - the fear of being needy within a community of neediness - the witness of the church is compromised. A collection of self-sustaining and self-reliant people - people who are all pretending to be fine - is not the Kingdom of God. It's a church built upon the delusional anthropology we described earlier. Specifically, a church where everyone is "fine" is a group of humans refusing to be human beings and pretending to be gods. Such a "church ~ Richard Beck
Different Interpretations quotes by Richard  Beck
I think if we open ourselves to all different kinds of men and all groups, we find a lot more opportunities to love. ~ Gabrielle Union
Different Interpretations quotes by Gabrielle Union
Here's the problem with Easter. The Catholic Church needs to pick a date because it keeps moving. And I think the reason they always have Easter moving to different dates is to catch us. ~ Denis Leary
Different Interpretations quotes by Denis Leary
Yes, you can feel very alone as a poet and you sometimes think, is it worth it? Is it worth carrying on? But because there were other poets, you became part of a scene. Even though they were very different writers, it made it easier because you were together. ~ Roger McGough
Different Interpretations quotes by Roger McGough
There are many different techniques and forms of meditation. The common element among these techniques is that the person takes time out from the daily pace of life to close their eyes and reflect on thoughts or images that create internal feelings of peace and relaxation. ~ Tim McCarthy
Different Interpretations quotes by Tim McCarthy
If you don't educate people well, then you're going to have a lot of violent, angry young men and women. You can go around saying they're all so violent, just throw them in jail, this is an underclass, what can you do? You can create fear. The issue of violence is very suitable for a repressive society. Then you can have more legislation, more police, more laws to fight crime, when all you need to do is to encourage people in a different way. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Different Interpretations quotes by Jeanette Winterson
History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images. ~ Anselm Kiefer
Different Interpretations quotes by Anselm Kiefer
I'm not anti-gun or pro-gun, but if you put a gun in your hand, you feel different. ~ Matt Servitto
Different Interpretations quotes by Matt Servitto
There is lust and then there is love. They are related, but still very different things. To indulge in one requires little but honeyed speech and a change of clothes; to obtain the other, by contrast, a man must give up his rib. In return, his woman will undo the sin of Eve, and bring him back into Paradise. ~ Anne Fortier
Different Interpretations quotes by Anne Fortier
Reading is a sage way to bump up against life. Reading may be an escape, but it is not an escape from my own life and problems. It is an escape from the narrow boundaries of being only me. Reading in some wonderful ways helps me find out who I am. When she was a young girl Patricia MacLachlan's mother encouraged her to "read a book and find out who you are." And it is true that in some ways reading defines me as it refines me. Reading enlarges my vision of the world; it helps me understand someone who is different from me. It makes me bigger on the inside. We tend to see the world from our own perspective; it is good to see it from the eyes of others. Good literature helps me understand who I am in relation to what others experience. Far from being an escape from reality, good literature is a window into reality. I read to feel life. ~ Gladys M. Hunt
Different Interpretations quotes by Gladys M. Hunt
I got myself a really nice nib pen, with like 15 kinds of India Ink, and tons of different nibs; I think I was just procrastinating, like, once I have the right nib, the book is just going to jump right out of my fingertips ... but then it just ended up looking like the shitty drawings that I usually do. ~ Demetri Martin
Different Interpretations quotes by Demetri Martin
Two things are desired in order that intercourse may be had: First, that a minister or agent be allowed to reside at the capital. Second, that commerce between different countries be freely allowed. ~ Townsend Harris
Different Interpretations quotes by Townsend Harris
Because if a sufficient number of people are different, no one has to be normal. ~ Fredrik Backman
Different Interpretations quotes by Fredrik Backman
My favorite style, though, is the way you were wearing it earlier when you had it draped across both of your arms loosely. That way, I get the full effect of your exquisite hair tumbling down your back."
Wrapping the filmy fabric around my shoulders, he pulled the shawl and gently tugged me closer. He reached out, captured a curl, and wrapped the hair around his finger.
"This life is so different from what I know. So many things have changed." He let go of the shawl, but he kept hold of the curl. "But some things are much, much better." He let go of the curl, trailing a finger down my cheek, and gave me a little nudge back toward my room.
"Goodnight, Kelsey. We have a busy day tomorrow. ~ Colleen Houck
Different Interpretations quotes by Colleen Houck
How much more is there?" Years. Lifetimes.

On a different occasion, half of us might frown. The other half might recoil. I'd always stay impassive, but tonight, in this moment, we all just smile. Our histories may contain darkness, but there is great light. I found love in that time. Love that extends to these five people. ~ Krista Ritchie
Different Interpretations quotes by Krista Ritchie
Juliette," I whisper. "What are you doing here?"
I'm half-dressed, getting ready for my day, and it's too early for visitors. These hours just before the sun rises are my only moments of peace, and no one should be in here. It seems impossible she gained access to my private quarters.
Someone should've stopped her.
Instead, she's standing in my doorway, staring at me. I've seen her so many times, but this is different - it's causing me physical pain to look at her. But somehow I still find myself drawn to her, wanting to be near her. ~ Tahereh Mafi
Different Interpretations quotes by Tahereh Mafi
People think I am unemotional because my voice is flat and a bit boring. It is unfortunate but it is just the way it is. I've tried to change it but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The truth is, I have lots of emotions inside. I cried after the semi-final at Wimbledon [2012] because I was proud to reach the final and I knew how much it meant to the country. I cried after the [losing] final [to Federer], too, for different reasons. I felt I had let people down. I think people warmed to that. They could see how much it hurt. ~ Andy Murray
Different Interpretations quotes by Andy Murray
To an even moderately sophisticated and well-read person it should come as no surprise that any religion at all has its hidden as well as its obvious beauties and is capable of profound and impressive interpretations. What is deeply objectionable about most of these interpretations is that they allow the believer to say Yes while evading any No. ~ Walter Kaufmann
Different Interpretations quotes by Walter Kaufmann
I got into acting for the chance to be many different people and many different characters. I love hiding in a role and doing the research. If there is an opportunity to change my body, I will change my body. I'll slip in and disguise myself in a role. That is a really big treat for me. ~ Ashley Bell
Different Interpretations quotes by Ashley Bell
We all begin with a story of ourselves that we believe to be true. But perhaps true personal change, even healing, can only happen when we change that narrative, when we begin to tell ourselves and others a different story. Surely ~ Thrity Umrigar
Different Interpretations quotes by Thrity Umrigar
Being a control freak makes us tense, stressed out, and unpleasant to be with. ~ Judith Orloff
Different Interpretations quotes by Judith Orloff
If you take a violin, you can make it sound 50 different ways. Not just pizzicato and played by the bow, but ponticello, and harmonics, and tremolos. If you take an oboe and play it, there's about one way you can make it sound: like an oboe. ~ John Corigliano
Different Interpretations quotes by John Corigliano
The recollections of an older man are different from those of a younger man. What seemed vital at forty may lose its significance at seventy. We manufacture stories, after all, from the fleeting sensory material that bombards us at every instant, a fragmented series of pictures, conversations, odors, and the touch of things and people. We delete most of it to live with some semblance of order, and the reshuffling of memory goes on until we die. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Different Interpretations quotes by Siri Hustvedt
When cities were first founded, an old Egyptian scribe tells us, the mission of the founder was to 'put gods in their shrines.' The task of the coming city is not essentially different: its mission is to put the highest concerns of man at the center of all his activities. ~ Lewis Mumford
Different Interpretations quotes by Lewis Mumford
Certainly people make mistakes in their life. I'm no different, I've made mistakes. When people mess up, we forgive them. When I mess up, I ask for forgiveness. ~ Michele Bachmann
Different Interpretations quotes by Michele Bachmann
The meaning and the purpose behind some events are unknowable. This is the ultimate test of our faith. We must trust that everyone in life is here to learn different lessons at different times, that good and bad experiences are only the perceptions of man. After all, some of your worst experiences have truly been your best. They've sculpted you, trained you, developed within you a sensitivity and set you in a direction that reaches out to impact your ultimate destiny. ~ Tony Robbins
Different Interpretations quotes by Tony Robbins
Consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown. There is only one thing and that which seems to be a plurality is merely a series of different aspects of this one thing, produced by a deception, the Indian maya, as in a gallery of mirrors. ~ Erwin Schrodinger
Different Interpretations quotes by Erwin Schrodinger
Unless your sexuality rises and reaches to love it is mundane, it has nothing sacred about it. When your sex becomes love, then it is entering into a totally different dimension - the dimension of the mysterious and the miraculous. Now it is becoming religious, sacred, it is no longer profane. ~ Rajneesh
Different Interpretations quotes by Rajneesh
We're supposed to show people how the world is, to give them the tools they need to make good decisions as citizens or consumers. Depending on what your values are - the environment, your health, animal welfare - the answers are going to be different for every person. ~ Michael Pollan
Different Interpretations quotes by Michael Pollan
Recall Marx's fundamental insight about the "bourgeois" limitation of the logic of equality: capitalist inequalities ("exploitation") are not the "unprincipled violations of the principle of equality," but are absolutely inherent to the logic of equality, they are the paradoxical result of its consistent realization. What we have in mind here is not only the wearisome old motif of how market exchange presupposes formally/legally equal subjects who meet and interact in the market; the crucial moment of Marx's critique of "bourgeois" socialists is that capitalist exploitation does not involve any kind of "unequal" exchange between the worker and the capitalist - this exchange is fully equal and "just," ideally (in principle), the worker gets paid the full value of the commodity he is selling (his labor-power). Of course, radical bourgeois revolutionaries are aware of this limitation; however, the way they try to counteract it is through a direct "terroristic imposition of more and more de facto equality (equal salaries, equal access to health services…), which can only be imposed through new forms of formal inequality (different sorts of preferential treatments for the underprivileged). In short, the axiom of equality" means either not enough (it remains the abstract form of actual inequality) or too much (enforce "terroristic" equality) - it is a formalistic notion in a strict dialectical sense, that is, its limitation is precisely that its form is not concrete enough, but a ~ Slavoj Zizek
Different Interpretations quotes by Slavoj Zizek
This year things are different. This year my husband is a stranger. Do not let this stranger see me eviscerated. ~ Nora Ephron
Different Interpretations quotes by Nora Ephron
faith is all we need when reason sends us down a different path. ~ Tanner McElroy
