Full circle from the tomb of the womb to the womb of the tomb we come, an ambiguous, enigmatical incursion into a world of solid matter that is soon to melt from us like the substance of a dream. ~ Joseph Campbell
John Dunn quotes by Joseph Campbell
Even when you're keeping score, golf is all about focusing on the shot at hand, the total score being a sum of those shots. On magic mushrooms, each shot was an act of self-expression - a karate kick, a pirouette, a paintbrush stroke. The course was an aren, a stage, and a canvas.

That's the way it felt playing in the backcountry, too. Going beyond the simple visual appreciation of a landscape and interacting with it beyond the reach of the physical body. Launching shots across canyons and rivers and down mountainsides and beaches. The motion of the body determining the motion of the ball - its flight an extension of the body like a spider riding the wind on a silken thread or a perfectly cast fly arcing down onto the surface of the water.

This is the part of the game that is hard for nongolfers to see. You have to play to feel it. It isn't visible through the TV screen or from outside the picket fences and privet hedges. The forest gets lost in tress of tartan and argyle, visors and V-necks. Golf seems to be one thing but is very much another, and backcountry golf and mushroom night golf are as true to the nature of the game as any stuffy country club championship or Saturday Nassau or fourball. ~ John Dunn
John Dunn quotes by John   Dunn
The left-right political dichotomy serves liberalism by not challenging it. Democracy sustains the status quo by offering the illusion of choice with no choice. Genuine opposition can only emerge if there is an alternative story with which to counter the current mythos. ~ John Dunn
John Dunn quotes by John Dunn
He picks up speed and seems to lose his gangliness, the slouchy funk of hormones and unbelonging and all the stammering things that seal his adolescence. He is just a running boy, a half-seen figure from the streets, but the way running reveals some clue to being, the way a runner bares himself to consciousness, this is how the dark-skinned kid seems to open to the world, how the bloodrush of a dozen strides bring him into eloquence. ~ Don DeLillo
John Dunn quotes by Don DeLillo
Men believe the cure for war is war as the curandero prescribes the serpent's flesh for its bite. ~ Cormac McCarthy
John Dunn quotes by Cormac McCarthy
Seattle rain smells different from New Orleans rain ... New Orleans rain smells of sulfur and hibiscus, trumpet metal, thunder and sweat. Seattle rain, the widespread rain of the Great Northwest, smells of green ice and sumi ink, of geology and silence and minnow breath. ~ Tom Robbins
John Dunn quotes by Tom Robbins
Yes. Because they were human men. They were trying to write down the heart's truth out of the heart's driving complexity, for all the complex and troubled hearts which would beat after them. ~ William Faulkner
John Dunn quotes by William Faulkner
The storm front towered above them and the wind was cool on their sweating faces. They slumped bleary-eyed in their saddles and looked at one another. Shrouded in the black thunderheads the distant lightning glowed mutely like welding seen through foundry smoke. As if repairs were under way at some flawed place in the iron dark of the world. ~ Cormac McCarthy
John Dunn quotes by Cormac McCarthy
The cactus of the high desert is a small grubby, obscure and humble vegetable associated with cattle dung and overgrazing, interesting only when you tangle with it the wrong way. Yet from this nest of thorns, this snare of hooks and fiery spines, is born once each year a splendid flower. It is unpluckable and except to an insect almost unapproachable, yet soft, lovely, sweet, desirable, exemplifying better than the rose among thorns the unity of opposites ~ Edward Abbey
John Dunn quotes by Edward Abbey
The creature was very young. He was alone in a dread universe. I crept on my knees and crouched beside him. It was a small fox pup from a den under the timbers who looked up at me. God knows what had become of his brothers and sisters. His parents must not have been home from hunting. He innocently selected what I think was a chicken bone from an untidy pile of splintered rubbish and shook it at me invitingly... the universe was swinging in some fantastic fashion around to present its face and the face was so small that the universe itself was laughing.
It was not a time for human dignity. It was a time only for the careful observance of amenities written behind the stars. Gravely I arranged my forepaws while the puppy whimpered with ill-concealed excitement. I drew the breath of a fox's den into my nostrils. On impulse, I picked up clumsily a whiter bone and shook it in teeth that had not entirely forgotten their original purpose. Round and round we tumbled and for just one ecstatic moment I held the universe at bay by the simple expedient of sitting on my haunches before a fox den and tumbling about with a chicken bone. It is the gravest, most meaningful act I shall ever accomplish, but, as Thoreau once remarked of some peculiar errand of his own, there is no use reporting it to the Royal Society. ~ Loren Eiseley
John Dunn quotes by Loren Eiseley
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy said, "Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and avoidance of large federal deficits on the other; it is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, as long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance the budget - just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits. In short, the paradoxical truth is that the tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now. ~ Ronald Reagan
John Dunn quotes by Ronald Reagan
I would never want to model as my career, but fashion is my hobby. When you love what you're wearing, you feel good. I also love the extravagance of John Galliano for a big occasion. But I'm very bad with following trends. ~ Maria Valverde
John Dunn quotes by Maria Valverde
The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people. ~ John P. Kotter
John Dunn quotes by John P. Kotter
The grim irony of investing, then, is that we investors as a group not only don't get what we pay for, we get precisely what we don't pay for. So if we pay for nothing, we get everything. ~ John C. Bogle
John Dunn quotes by John C. Bogle
Paul states here that the call of God is to preach the gospel. But remember what Paul means by "the gospel," namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. We are inclined to make sanctification the goal of our preaching. Paul refers to personal experiences only by way of illustration, never as the end of the matter. We are not commissioned to preach salvation or sanctification - we are commissioned to lift up Jesus Christ (see John 12:32). ~ Oswald Chambers
John Dunn quotes by Oswald Chambers
The nightsea journey may be absurd, but here we swim, will-we nill-we, against the flood, onward and upward, toward a shore that may not exist and couldn't be reached if it did. ~ John Barth
John Dunn quotes by John Barth
With such irresistible evidence before us of the great and rapid progress of abolitionism without the slightest indication of abatement, he is blind who does not see, if the state of things which has caused it should be permitted to continue, that it will speedily be too late, if not to save ourselves, to save the Union. ~ John C. Calhoun
John Dunn quotes by John C. Calhoun
Technology has been, and always will be, my one true passion professionally. ~ John McKinley
John Dunn quotes by John McKinley
We all have competitive relationships with our siblings. ~ John Benjamin Hickey
John Dunn quotes by John Benjamin Hickey
To me, nothing ever feels like a sure thing. I cling to that because it's very important you don't ever think anything is a sure thing. ~ John Hurt
John Dunn quotes by John Hurt
There would come a time in our poverty when we needed a party. ~ John Steinbeck
John Dunn quotes by John Steinbeck
I'm hungrier than a kid on his third day of fat camp. ~ John Green
John Dunn quotes by John Green
Then, marveling at the recuperative powers and endurance of the Ranger horse breed, he tightened the girths on Blaze's saddle and swung astride the bay, groaning softly as he did so. Ranger horses might recover quickly. Ranger apprentices took a little longer. It ~ John Flanagan
John Dunn quotes by John Flanagan
The better you tell an old story, the more you are talking about right now. ~ John Crowley
John Dunn quotes by John Crowley
And even though I was in bed and he was in his basement, it really felt like we were back in that uncreated third space, which was a place I really liked visiting with him. ~ John Green
John Dunn quotes by John Green
You must be careful where you step.
And you must be ready for what you might find. ~ John Connolly
John Dunn quotes by John Connolly
No just man suffices unto himself for the winning of justification. The divine mercy must always hold out a hand to his footsteps as they falter and almost stumble, and this is so because the weakness of his free will may cause him to lose balance, and if he falls he may perish forever. ~ John Cassian
John Dunn quotes by John Cassian
Hands are the heart's landscape. ~ Pope John Paul II
John Dunn quotes by Pope John Paul II
Now let me make it clear that I believe there can only be one defense policy for the United States and that is summed up in the word 'first.' I do not mean first, but. I do not mean first, when. I do not mean first, if. I mean first -period. ~ John F. Kennedy
John Dunn quotes by John F. Kennedy
Between the experience of living a normal life at this moment on the planet and the public narratives being offered to give a sense to that life, the empty space, the gap, is enormous. ~ John Berger
John Dunn quotes by John Berger
Children, when they are little, they make parents fools; when great, mad. ~ John Ray
John Dunn quotes by John Ray
Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality. ~ John Tyler
John Dunn quotes by John Tyler
I started looking into horse history books and came across the actual story of this half-breed endurance horseman and his painted mustang Hidalgo. I wasn't really sure if I was going to do the movie at that point. ~ John Fusco
John Dunn quotes by John Fusco
He did not drink or do drugs or smoke cigarettes or wear black eyeliner or stay out late or get bad grades or pierce his tongue or have the words "KATHERINE LUVA 4 LIFE" tattoed across his back. ~ John Green
John Dunn quotes by John Green
You just use the future to escape the past. ~ John Green
John Dunn quotes by John Green
goofy, real smile. "I'm a big believer in ~ John Green
John Dunn quotes by John Green
Your progress as a runner is a frustratingly slow process of small gains. It's a matter of inching up your mileage and your pace. It's a matter of learning to celebrate the small gains as if they were Olympic victories. It means paying your dues on the road or the treadmill. It means searching for the limits of your body and demanding that your spirit not give up. It means making the most of what you have. It means making yourself an athlete one workout at a time. ~ John Bingham
John Dunn quotes by John Bingham
Can any mortal mixture of earth's mould Breathe such divine enchanting ravishment? ~ John Milton
John Dunn quotes by John Milton
We can have tax cuts, but when we have tax cuts and do not have a surplus, the amount of the tax cut goes straight to the bottom line, adds to the deficit, and the deficit adds to the national debt, and sooner or later, the debt has to be paid. ~ John Spratt
John Dunn quotes by John Spratt
But the word of the Gospel is not as the word of an earthly prince. ~ John Jewel
John Dunn quotes by John Jewel
They work in secrecy. I can't get any information. You can't find out anything until they get out to the floor. And it's hard to lick em at that stage. They're a closed corporation. When they stick together, you can't lick em on the floor. ~ John William McCormack
John Dunn quotes by John William McCormack
To my mind, the best SF addresses itself to problems of the here and now, or even to problems which have never been solved and never will be solved - I'm thinking of Philip K. Dick's work here, dealing with questions of reality, for example. ~ John Sladek
John Dunn quotes by John Sladek
Truth, like gold, is not less so for being newly brought out of the mine. ~ John Locke
John Dunn quotes by John Locke
It's not your fate to be well treated," Ignatius cried. "You're an overt masochist. Nice treatment will confuse and destroy you. ~ John Kennedy Toole
John Dunn quotes by John Kennedy Toole
[Donald] Trump is touching a nerve because people want the wall to be built. They want to see an end to illegal immigration. They want to see it, and we all do. But we all have different ways of getting there. ~ John Kasich
John Dunn quotes by John Kasich
Winds are advertisements of all they touch, however much or little we may be able to read them; telling their wanderings even by their scents alone. ~ John Muir
John Dunn quotes by John Muir
Every good piece of art ... involves first essentially the evidence of human skill, and the formation of an actually beautiful thing by it. ~ John Ruskin
John Dunn quotes by John Ruskin
The most important question is, 'Am I asking the most important question?' The second most important question is, 'Am I asking the most important question in the most important way?' ~ John Paul Caponigro
John Dunn quotes by John Paul Caponigro
It is economically irrational to exclude large environmental costs from the balance sheets of the producers and the consumers. You are only kidding yourself if you export those costs on to society as a whole. ~ John Holdren
John Dunn quotes by John Holdren
One day America and all its presidents will be a footnote in history, but the kingdom of Jesus will never end. ~ John Piper
John Dunn quotes by John Piper
The police have the killer. To relieve the enormous pressure on them, and to begin the process of poisoning public opinion, and to establish the presumption of guilt, they are manipulating the press, as always. A leak here and there and cameras show up to capture the face that everyone has been desperate to see. The "journalists" chase their tails, ~ John Grisham
John Dunn quotes by John Grisham
I love the John Glenn model ... I may call NASA in 25 years or so, and see if they'd like to send me to Mars. ~ Sally Ride
John Dunn quotes by Sally Ride
He had to imply there was an element of choice, and in a sense there was: to get completely inside the mind with no barriers, he must be invited. The person must be relaxed – at least in the beginning. ~ Cage Dunn
John Dunn quotes by Cage Dunn
