Beneath every story, there is another story. There is a hand within the hand...... There is a blow behind the blow. ~ Naomi Alderman
Hidden Meaning quotes by Naomi Alderman
The stories we read in books, what's presented to us as being interesting - they have very little to do with real life as it's lived today. I'm not talking about straight-up escapism, your vampires, serial killers, codes hidden in paintings, and so on. I mean so-called serious literature. A boy goes hunting with his emotionally volatile father, a bereaved woman befriends an asylum seeker, a composer with a rare neurological disorder walks around New York, thinking about the nature of art. People looking back over their lives, people having revelations, people discovering meaning. Meaning, that's the big thing. The way these books have it, you trip over a rock you'll find some hidden meaning waiting there. Everyone's constantly on the verge of some soul-shaking transformation. And it's - if you'll forgive my language - it's bullshit. Modern people live in a state of distraction. They go from one distraction to the next, and that's how they like it. They don't transform, they don't stop to smell the roses, they don't sit around recollecting long passages of their childhood - Jesus, I can hardly remember what I was doing two days ago. My point is, people aren't waiting to be restored to some ineffable moment. They're not looking for meaning. That whole idea of the novel - that's finished. ~ Paul Murray
Hidden Meaning quotes by Paul Murray
Let me say no more. Words do no justice to the hidden meaning. Everything immediately becomes slightly different when it is expressed in words, a little bit distorted, a little foolish ... It is perfectly fine with me that what for one man is precious wisdom for another sounds like foolery. ~ Hermann Hesse
Hidden Meaning quotes by Hermann Hesse
I simply painted images of what was before my eyes; it is for others to find hidden meaning in them. ~ Pablo Picasso
Hidden Meaning quotes by Pablo Picasso
Oh, you can't back out now. I already texted Adam that you'll be there."

His head swung around. "You what?"

"He's looking forward to it. See?" She held up her phone.

A smiley face.

A smiley face? Nick had no idea what that meant. Was that casual happy? Excited happy? An obligatory response that didn't mean anything? It wasn't even a D smiley. It was one of the parenthesis ones.

God, he was trying to puzzle out the hidden meaning of the punctuation in a frigging emoticon.

"You look nervous," said Quinn.

He shrugged. ~ Brigid Kemmerer
Hidden Meaning quotes by Brigid Kemmerer
We are arrant knaves all, believe none of us. ~ William Shakespeare
Hidden Meaning quotes by William Shakespeare
This the Master said; and he turned me around Himself, and not trusting my own hands, He covered my eyes with his own. For those of you who are educated, understand the hidden meaning Of the strange words that follow! ~ Dante Alighieri
Hidden Meaning quotes by Dante Alighieri
Renly offered me a peach. At our parley. Mocked me, defied me, threatened me, and offered me a peach. I thought he was drawing a blade and went for mine own. Was that his purpose, to make me show fear? Or was it one of his pointless jests? When he spoke of how sweet the peach was, did his words have some hidden meaning?" The king gave a shake of his head, like a dog shaking a rabbit to snap its neck. "Only Renly could vex me so with a piece of fruit. He brought his doom on himself with his treason, but I did love him, Davos. I know that now. I swear, I will go to my grave thinking of my brother's peach. ~ George R.R. Martin
Hidden Meaning quotes by George R.R. Martin
The end (goal) of art is to figure the hidden meaning of things and not their appearance; for in this profound truth lies their true reality, which does not appear in their external outlines. ~ Joseph Conrad
Hidden Meaning quotes by Joseph Conrad
A private face behind every public mask, a hidden meaning peeking through whatever words they choose to share with you. ~ Simon R. Green
Hidden Meaning quotes by Simon R. Green
Florentino Ariza always forgot when he should not have that women, and Prudencia Pitre more than any other, always think about the hidden meanings of questions more than about the questions themselves. ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Hidden Meaning quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
There is no hidden meaning to life ... looking for one is our problem solving brain chasing its tail ~ Alan Alda
Hidden Meaning quotes by Alan Alda
Every problem comes with hidden opportunity to grow. ~ Rupal Asodaria
Hidden Meaning quotes by Rupal Asodaria
Be on guard against any tampering with the Word, whether disguised as a search for truth, or a scholarly attempt at apparently hidden meanings; and beware of the confusion created by the senseless rash of new versions, translations, editions, and improvements upon the tried and tested Bible of our fathers and grandfathers. ~ M. R. DeHaan
Hidden Meaning quotes by M. R. DeHaan
Some where between the scripted writings and their hidden meaning, my sanity lies somewhere. ~ Lori Krause
Hidden Meaning quotes by Lori Krause
In the silence of their studios, busied for days at a time with works which leave the mind relatively free, painters become like women; their thoughts can revolve around the minor facts of life and penetrate their hidden meaning. ~ Honore De Balzac
Hidden Meaning quotes by Honore De Balzac
Girls who like each other have a different energy. More intense. Furtive. They're part of a secret world. They speak in code, like spies. Everything has a hidden meaning. ~ Leah Reader
Hidden Meaning quotes by Leah Reader
There is a point in every philosophy at which the "conviction" of the philosopher appears on the scene; or, to put it in the words of an ancient mystery: adventavit asinus, / pulcher et fortissimus. (Translation: The ass arrives, beautiful and most brave.) ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Hidden Meaning quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I seldom deal in symbolisms; if there be hidden meanings in my verse, they are there without my knowledge. ~ George Edward Woodberry
Hidden Meaning quotes by George Edward Woodberry
Looking for hidden meaning in these papers was the same as looking for hidden meaning in the natural world around us. If it existed, it could be activated only by the eye of the beholder. ~ Jeff VanderMeer
Hidden Meaning quotes by Jeff VanderMeer
The hidden meaning of life . . . But the hidden meaning of life is that life has no hidden meaning. ~ Jose Saramago
Hidden Meaning quotes by Jose Saramago
River snickered. "You're a star of the sea, and my name has no hidden meaning. It makes sense."
"You lost me."
More of our classmates filtered in and took their seats. River leaned so close to me his lips brushed against my ear. "Every river finds its way to the sea. Maybe you're the sea I was meant to find. ~ Karen Amanda Hooper
Hidden Meaning quotes by Karen Amanda Hooper
When he heard that Sanshiro was going to school forty hours a week, his eyes popped. "You idiot! Do you think it would 'satisfy' you to eat what they serve at your rooming house ten times a day?"
"What should I do?" Sanshiro pleaded.
"Ride the streetcar," Yojiro said.
Sanshiro tried to find Yojiro's hidden meaning, without success.
"You mean a real streetcar?" he asked.
Yojiro laughed uncontrollably. "Get on the streetcar and ride around Tokyo ten or fifteen times. After a while it will just happen by itself- you will become satisfied.
"Why?"
"Why? Well, look at it this way. Your head is alive, but if you seal it up inside dead classes, you're lost. Take it outside and get the wind into it. Riding the streetcar is not the only way to get satisfaction, of course, but it's the first step, and the easiest. ~ Soseki Natsume
Hidden Meaning quotes by Soseki Natsume
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It has happened to all of us; we are its victims, are we have no control over it. ~ William Glasser
Hidden Meaning quotes by William Glasser
That's what a poem is. Words which have a hidden meaning. A poem is like a secret. ~ Monique Roffey
Hidden Meaning quotes by Monique Roffey
Even manifestly senseless suffering and death can have a meaning, can acquire a meaning. a hidden meaning. ~ Hans Kung
Hidden Meaning quotes by Hans Kung
In their vanity men focus on what they wish to hear and miss the hidden meaning, the lurking threat. ~ David Hewson
Hidden Meaning quotes by David Hewson
He was uncannily skilled at dissecting hidden meaning behind every interaction. ~ Kathleen Tessaro
Hidden Meaning quotes by Kathleen Tessaro
all the statements made about God that imply body have some hidden meaning and teach us what is above us by means of something familiar to ourselves, with the exception of any statement concerning the bodily sojourn of the God-Word. ~ John Damascene
Hidden Meaning quotes by John Damascene
I am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away With free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay. ~ Muhammad Iqbal
Hidden Meaning quotes by Muhammad Iqbal
whoever approaches his goal dances ~ Cormac McCarthy
Hidden Meaning quotes by Cormac McCarthy
People who think that grammar is just a collection of rules and restrictions are wrong. If you get to like it, grammar reveals the hidden meaning of history, hides disorder and abandonment, links things and brings opposites together. Grammar is a wonderful way of organising the world how you'd like it to be. ~ Delphine De Vigan
Hidden Meaning quotes by Delphine De Vigan
Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution. ~ Deepak Chopra
Hidden Meaning quotes by Deepak Chopra
Nothing is more odious than music without hidden meaning. ~ Frederic Chopin
Hidden Meaning quotes by Frederic Chopin
the same way that you can easily switch the letters of a word around to see another hidden meaning, such is life. A life can be defined by its hardships or its blessings. It's all a matter of how you look at it. So, while this book was once setting up to be a tragic tale, it turned into a love story, an imperfect but unconventionally epic romance. ~ Penelope Ward
Hidden Meaning quotes by Penelope Ward
When you look at the piece of paper, and there's just words on there, you interpret it as the actor to whatever you think is right. There may not be the hidden meaning behind the dialogue, because you don't really get to see what's going on. ~ James Hong
Hidden Meaning quotes by James Hong
I used to think things were the way they are for a reason, that there was some hidden meaning. I used to think that this meaning governed the way the world was. But it's an illusion to think that there are good and bad reasons. Grammar is a lie to make us think that what we say is connected by a logic that you'll find if you study it, a lie that gone on for centuries. Because I now know that life just lurches between stability and instability and doesn't obey any law. ~ Delphine De Vigan
Hidden Meaning quotes by Delphine De Vigan
Miss u, he typed out, but didn't send it.
Want u, he typed out, but didn't send it.
OK, he sent back, and wondered stupidly if Ben would try and discern any hidden meaning in those two tiny letters. ~ Lisa Henry
Hidden Meaning quotes by Lisa Henry
Without thoughtful effort and purposeful change, human life does not improve. The key to living a meaningful life is to accept reality. There is no inherent meaning to life just as there is no hidden meaning behind death. Life is limited and death is simply an ending. The only meaning to life is what each person passionately commits their life to accomplishing. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Hidden Meaning quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Somehow I couldn't stop. I had turned into someone that I would have pitied in another life; someone who searched for signs, who analyzed patterns, who went over every word in a conversation looking for hidden meanings, secret signals, the subtext that said, Yes, I still love you, of course I still love you. ~ Jennifer Weiner
Hidden Meaning quotes by Jennifer Weiner
Things don't have significance: they only have existence.
Things are the only hidden meaning of things. ~ Alberto Caeiro
Hidden Meaning quotes by Alberto Caeiro
But the hidden meaning of life is that life has no hidden meaning. Abel knew Pessoa's poetry well. ~ Jose Saramago
Hidden Meaning quotes by Jose Saramago
The vitality that can stand the abyss of meaninglessness is aware of a hidden meaning within the destruction of meaning. ~ Paul Tillich
Hidden Meaning quotes by Paul Tillich
Over recent years I had increasingly lost faith in literature. I read and thought this is something someone has made up. Perhaps it was because we were totally inundated with fiction and stories... All these millions of paperbacks, hardbacks, DVDs and TV series, they were all about made-up people in a made-up, though realistic, world. And news in the press, TV news and radio news had exactly the same format, documentaries had the same format, they were also stories, and it made no difference whether what they told had actually happened or not...

Fictional writing has no value, documentary narrative has no value. The only genres I saw value in, which still conferred meaning, were diaries and essays, the types of literature that did not deal with narrative, that were not about anything, but just consisted of a voice, the voice of your own personality, a life, a face, a gaze you could meet. What is a work of art if not the gaze of another person? ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Hidden Meaning quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Her that I will double my people in the Tower and that I swear to her, on my honor, that I will protect them. Remind her that the uprising will start next month. As soon as we defeat Richard the king, we will set the boys free. Then, when she is reassured, when she is in her first moment of relief, when you see the color come to her face and you have convinced her - in that moment quickly ask her if she has her son Prince Richard in safety already. If she has him hidden away somewhere." He nods, but he is pale with fear. "And are they safe?" he asks. "Can I truly assure her that those poor boys ~ Philippa Gregory
Hidden Meaning quotes by Philippa Gregory
Can we reasonably expect happiness from an insatiable appetite which, no matter how it stuffs its belly, is still psychologically like Oliver Twist in the poorhouse, holding up an empty bowl and begging, "I want some more"? Isn't it possible that our dream of the good society contained, from the beginning, a hidden violation of the Tenth Commandment "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods"? ~ Joy Davidman
Hidden Meaning quotes by Joy Davidman
Nothing new can happen here, so all you do is think about the days of life when possibility hadn't been ripped from you forever, when anything could happen, and wonder why so much was squandered, so much wasted. ~ Kyle Minor
Hidden Meaning quotes by Kyle Minor
The work of existence devours its own unfolding.
What dissolves will dissolve--
you, reader, and I, and all our quick angers and longings. ~ Jane Hirshfield
Hidden Meaning quotes by Jane Hirshfield
Money without meaning is meaningless ~ Josh Bezoni
Hidden Meaning quotes by Josh Bezoni
Remorse! Can a heart like mine ever know the meaning of such a feeling? The habit of evildoing expunged it long ago from my calloused soul. ~ Marquis De Sade
Hidden Meaning quotes by Marquis De Sade
How would I explain to him that I couldn't make peace with him? How would I explain that if I did I would immediately lose my inner balance? How would I explain that one of the arms of my internal scales would suddenly shoot upward? How would I explain that my hatred of him counterbalanced the weight of evil that had fallen on my youth? How would I explain that he embodied all the evils in my life? How would I explain to him that I needed to hate him? ~ Milan Kundera
Hidden Meaning quotes by Milan Kundera
The danger facing all of us--let me say it again, for one feels it tremendously--is not that we shall make an absolute failure of life, nor that we shall fall into outright viciousness, nor that we shall be terribly unhappy, nor that we shall feel that life has no meaning at all--not these things. The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to render the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God--and be content to have it so--that is the danger. That some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with the husks and trappings of life--and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared--satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle and thrill which come from a friendship with the Father. ~ Phillips Brooks
Hidden Meaning quotes by Phillips Brooks
Madeleine in her turn stared at him steadily, straight into his eyes, in a profound, strange way, as if seeking to read something there, as if seeking to discover there that hidden part of a human being which can never be fathomed but may perhaps be glimpsed for a fleeting instant, in those moments of unguardedness or surrender or inattention, that are like doors left ajar onto the mysterious depths of the spirit ... they stood for a few seconds, each gazing into the other's eyes, each striving to reach the impenetrable secret of the other's heart, to probe each other's thoughts to the quick. They tried, in a mute and passionate questioning, to see the other's conscience in its essential truth: the intimate struggles of two beings who, living side by side, never really know one another, who suspect and sniff around and spy on one another, but cannot plumb the miry depths of one another's soul. ~ Guy De Maupassant
Hidden Meaning quotes by Guy De Maupassant
Every leader has the responsibility to hone his or her integrity. Many times, there are integrity traps that have a tendency to catch well-meaning leaders off guard. ~ Travis Bradberry
Hidden Meaning quotes by Travis Bradberry
The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word "love", and look on things as if man were the centre of them. Man is not the centre. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake. "Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." We were made not primarily that we may love God (though we were made for that too) but that God may love us, that we may become objects in which the divine love may rest "well pleased". ~ C.S. Lewis
Hidden Meaning quotes by C.S. Lewis
Earth, mountains, rivers, hidden in this nothingness.
In this nothingness, earth, mountains, rivers revealed.
Spring flowers, winter snows.
There's no being or non-being, nor denial itself. ~ Saisho Hiroshi
Hidden Meaning quotes by Saisho Hiroshi
To what part of electrical science are we not indebted to Faraday? He has increased our knowledge of the hidden and unknown to such an extent, that all subsequent writers are compelled so frequently to mention his name and quote his papers, that the very repetition becomes monotonous. [How] humiliating it may be to acknowledge so great a share of successful investigation to one man ... ~ Alfred Smee
Hidden Meaning quotes by Alfred Smee
The meaning of the midlife affair is the imperative to go back and pick up what was left behind in one's development. Since what was undeveloped agitates from below consciousness, it is still unknown. ~ James Hollis
Hidden Meaning quotes by James Hollis
Little known fact and I'd learned this one early on. Mom had two voices. One was nurturing, sweet and nice, loving and gentle. That was the voice she'd used for whoever was on the phone just now. Actually, most people were on the receiving end of that voice. Most people meaning anyone who didn't have a penis with the last name Scott.

The other, though, was reserved for her dipshit sons or anyone with a penis and the last name Scott. There was nothing sweet and loving in that tone and she had the uncanny ability to make me feel like I was four years old again and I'd just used her red lipstick to draw Iron Man on the wall. No doubt, it was our fault. We'd driven our poor mother to adopt this alternate persona over the years because we were complete and utter dipshits. ~ Ashlan Thomas
Hidden Meaning quotes by Ashlan Thomas
We are unlike our animal kin in another way. Only human beings kill and die for the sake of beliefs about themselves and the nature of the world. Looking for sense in their lives, they attack others who find meaning in beliefs different from their own. The violence of faith cannot be exorcised by demonising religion. It goes with being human. ~ John N. Gray
Hidden Meaning quotes by John N. Gray
Me too thy nobleness has taught
To master my despair;
The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hidden Meaning quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people ~ Edgar Degas
Hidden Meaning quotes by Edgar Degas
Grandpa's mind had left us, gone wild and wary. When I walked with him I could feel how strange it was. His thoughts swam between us, hidden under rocks, disappearing in weeds, and I was fishing for them, dangling my own words like baits and lures. ~ Louise Erdrich
Hidden Meaning quotes by Louise Erdrich
His occupation gave me the feeling of "tragedy" in the most sensuous meaning of the word. A certain feeling as it were of "self-renunciation," a certain feeling of indifference, a certain feeling of intimacy with danger, a feeling like a remarkable mixture of nothingness and vital power - all these feelings swarmed forth from his calling, bore down upon me, and took me captive, at the age of four. ~ Yukio Mishima
Hidden Meaning quotes by Yukio Mishima
Clearly if something is to be salvaged of the 'fight for true equality', the meaning of feminism must be clear. It must also recognize the way in which it has been colonized not only by warmongers, but also by consumerism and contemporary ideologies of work. ~ Nina Power
Hidden Meaning quotes by Nina Power
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all. ~ John Owen
Hidden Meaning quotes by John Owen
The concept of a 'just' or 'fair' price is devoid of any scientific meaning; it is a disguise for wishes, a striving for a state of affairs different from reality. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Hidden Meaning quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
The basic nature of all conscious beings is 'self-existing wakefulness'.
Self-existing meaning spontaneous or without effort and wakefulness meaning natural awareness.
To ignore our basic nature, is to wander in fear and confusion,
to directly realise our essential nature is to be Enlightened. ~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
Hidden Meaning quotes by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
The very nastiest and coarsest, I can't tell you. It is not grief, not dullness, but much worse. It is as if all that was good in me had hidden itself, and only what is horrid remains. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Hidden Meaning quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Nowhere hidden has ever turned away a goodheart guest. ~ Mikl Paul
Hidden Meaning quotes by Mikl Paul
I was dealing with a lot of spiritual questions like "Who am I?" "What is God" "What is the meaning of life?" All of these questions that I think we can either face head on or choose to ignore, it's up to us. ~ John McLaughlin
Hidden Meaning quotes by John McLaughlin
Like paths and alleys overgrown with hardy, rank-growing weeds, the words we use are overgrown with our individual, private, provincial associations, which tend to choke the meaning. ~ Stefan Themerson
Hidden Meaning quotes by Stefan Themerson
A great mentor always uses his/her own way to dig deep and squeezes out all the hidden talents and gifts. ~ Euginia Herlihy
Hidden Meaning quotes by Euginia Herlihy
On certain continents poverty is more spiritual than material, a poverty that consists of loneliness, discouragement, and the lack of meaning in life. ~ Mother Teresa
Hidden Meaning quotes by Mother Teresa
I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred. ~ Natalie Portman
Hidden Meaning quotes by Natalie Portman
A Singularitarian is someone who understands the Singularity and has reflected on its meaning for his or her own life. ~ Ray Kurzweil
Hidden Meaning quotes by Ray Kurzweil
We decided that it was no good asking what is the meaning of life, because life isn't an answer, life is the question, and you, yourself, are the answer. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Hidden Meaning quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
