Everything that is born will eventually die and everything that is created will eventually be destroyed. ~ Philip A.K. Ovland
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip A.K. Ovland
Liking is not always the child of beauty; but whatsoever is liked, to the liker is beautiful. ~ Philip Sidney
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Sidney
I do not get to know God and then do His will. I get to know Him by doing His will. ~ Philip Yancey
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Yancey
An important impression was my father's one Sabbatical year, spent in England and Europe in 1937. ~ Philip Warren Anderson
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Warren Anderson
My mother believed he would be healed. She counted on God, and the worst thing happened, the impact of that error in theology, in thinking, impacted my life from the very beginning. ~ Philip Yancey
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Yancey
Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions. ~ Philip Emeagwali
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Emeagwali
It is sometimes frightening to observe the success which comes even to the outlaw with a polished technique, and we find ourselves doubting the validity of the virtues we have been taught. But I believe we must reckon with character in the end, for it is as potent a force in world conflict as it is in our own domestic affairs. It strikes the last blow in any battle. ~ Philip D. Reed
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip D. Reed
A perfect life is like that of a ship of war which has its own place in the fleet and can share in its strength and discipline, but can also go forth alone in the solitude of the infinite sea. We ought to belong to society, to have our place in it, and yet be capable of a complete individual existence outside of it. ~ Philip Gilbert Hamerton
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Gilbert Hamerton
Adversities such as being homeless and going to prison has made many people stronger. ~ Philip Emeagwali
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Emeagwali
I say, Father, the years have brought me here, still your son, they have brought me to a life I cannot understand. ~ Philip Levine
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Levine
Brutality is boring. Over and over, hell night after hell night, the same old dumb, tedious, bestial routine: making men crawl; making men groan, hanging men from the bars; shoving men; slapping men; freezing men in the showers; running men into walls; displaying shackled fathers to their sons and sons to their fathers. And if it turned out that you'd been given the wrong man, when you were done making his life unforgettably small and nasty, you allowed him to be your janitor and pick up the other prisoners' trash.
There was always another prisoner, and another. Faceless men under hoods: you stripped them of their clothes, you stripped them of their pride. There wasn't much more you could take away from them, but people are inventive: one night some soldiers took a razor to one of Saddam's former general in Tier 1A and shaved off his eyebrows. He was an old man. "He looked like a grandfather and seemed like a nice guy," Sabrina Harman said, and she had tried to console him, telling him he looked younger and slipping him a few cigarettes. Then she had to make him stand at attention facing a boom box blasting the rapper Eminem, singing about raping his mother, or committing arson, or sneering at suicides, something like that⁠ - these were some of the best-selling songs in American history.
"Eminem is pretty much torture all in himself, and if one person's getting tortured, everybody is, because that music's horrible," Harman said. The general maintained his bearing a ~ Philip Gourevitch
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Gourevitch
Defeatism about the feasibility of plans for disarmament and ordered peace has been the most calamitious of all the errors made by democratic governments in modern times. ~ Philip Noel-Baker, Baron Noel-Baker
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Noel-Baker, Baron Noel-Baker
Look, everything the Communists say about capitalism is true, and everything the capitalists say about Communism is true. The difference is, our system works because it's based on the truth about people's selfishness, and theirs doesn't because it's based on a fairy tale about people's brotherhood. It's such a crazy fairy tale they've got to take people and put them in Siberia in order to get them to believe it. ~ Philip Roth
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Roth
Much ingenious interpretation of story is little more than seeing pleasing patterns in the sparks of a fire, but it does no harm. ~ Philip Pullman
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Pullman
( ... ) he walked away understanding, ( ... ) how easily life can be one thing rather than another and how accidentally a destiny is made ... on the other hand, how accidental fate may seem when things can never turn out other than they do. ~ Philip Roth
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Roth
Since I was a kid. I had this series by Ballantine Books about the history of World Wars I and II. In my 20s, it was the Vietnam War literature of novelists like Tim O'Brien, Philip Caputo, and Tobias Wolff, and then nonfiction such as "A Bright Shining Lie" by Neil Sheehan and "The Best and Brightest" by David Halberstam . Those are the two best histories of Vietnam. ~ George Packer
Lowenthal Philip quotes by George Packer
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus; All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you? ~ Billy West
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Billy West
The world thirsts for grace. When grace descends, the world falls silent before it. ~ Philip Yancey
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Yancey
The real contribution of Rihani consists in having given us, in both Arabic and English, what may be considered the most vivid and interesting account of common-day life as it is lived at present in the hitherto little known Arabia. ~ Philip Khuri Hitti
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Khuri Hitti
That's because you're a highly moral person. I'm not. I don't judge, not even myself. ~ Philip K. Dick
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip K. Dick
Virgin me no virgins! I must have you lose that name, or you lose me. ~ Philip Massinger
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Massinger
The one thing worse than an enemy is a friend turned false. ~ Philip Reeve
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Reeve
Anthony took the pipe out of his mouth and smiled at her. "Sorry, dear! You know I don't mean to get like this, but I can't help it. What you want me to tell you is what I'm thinking, but I can't, because I don't know. Now, now, that's not clever, it's purely a statement of fact. We've been married quite long enough for you to know me by this tim, but you never seem to have understood properly what a tidy mind I've got. That, you know, is really why I'm always getting mixed up in this 'finding-out' business. When I see a thing all unreasonable and all at loose ends, I just have to see whether I can't straighten it out, and it's the same with my own thinking. When my own thinking's just a mess, it isn't tidy, and therefore I won't let it release its untidiness onto the world. I have to get it nicely rearranged and sorted before I can really talk. ~ Philip MacDonald
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip MacDonald
So my methodological approach is to draw on many different features in highlighting different facets of the novella (and the opera and the film). ~ Philip Kitcher
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Kitcher
Well," said Mary, "love is ferocious, too. ~ Philip Pullman
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Pullman
The rubber hits the road when we try to show grace to a person most unlike us, even someone morally offensive. ~ Philip Yancey
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Yancey
Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake. ~ Philip Pullman
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Pullman
Negotiating with the Taliban must be done from a position of strength. Negotiating from a position of weakness would be a disaster. ~ Philip Hammond
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Hammond
The uniqueness of zazen lies in this: that the mind is freed from bondage to all thought forms, visions, objects, and imaginings, however sacred or elevating, and brought to a state of absolute emptiness, from which alone it may one day perceive its own true nature, or the nature of the universe. ~ Philip Kapleau
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Kapleau
Such was the end of Philip (II, king of Macedonia) ... He had ruled 24 years. He is known to fame as one who with but the slenderest resources to support his claim to a throne won for himself the greatest empire among the Hellenes (Greeks), while the growth of his position was not due so much to his prowess in arms as to his adroitness and cordiality in diplomacy. ~ Diodorus Siculus
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Diodorus Siculus
their great hope was to restore Western culture to its religious roots, to unleash the powers of the imagination, to reenchant the world through Christian faith and pagan beauty. ~ Philip Zaleski
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Zaleski
When you have a child, as anyone knows who has them, that's basically all you want to talk about. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Without an old country link and a strangling church like the Italians, or the Irish, or the Poles, without generations of the American forebears to bind you to American life, or blind you by your loyalties to its deformities, you could read whatever you wanted and write however and whatever you pleased. Alienated? Just another way to say 'set free.' A Jew set free from Jews - yet only by steadily maintaining self-consciousness as a Jew. That was the thrilling paradoxical kicker. ~ Philip Roth
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Roth
This place where she worked certainly didn't make it look as if she continued to believe her calling was to change the course of American history. The building's rusted fire escape would just come down, just come loose from its moorings and crash onto the street, if anyone stepped on it - a fire escape whose function was not to save lives in the event of a fire but to uselessly hang there testifying to the immense loneliness inherent to living. For him it was stripped of any other meaning - no meaning could make better use of that building. Yes, alone we are, deeply alone, and always, in store for us, a layer of loneliness even deeper. There is nothing we can do to dispose of that. No, loneliness shouldn't surprise us, as astonishing to experience it as it may be. You can try turning yourself inside out, but all you are then is inside out and lonely instead of inside in and lonely. My stupid, stupid Merry dear, stupider even than your stupid father, not even blowing up buildings helps. It's lonely if there are buildings and it's lonely if there are no buildings. There is no protest to be lodged against loneliness - not all the bombing campaigns in history have made a dent in it. The most lethat of manmade explosives can't touch it. Stand in awe not of Communism, my idiot child, but of ordinary, everyday loneliness. On May Day go out and march with your friends to its greater glory, the superpower of superpowers, the force that overwhelms all. Put your money on it, bet on it, ~ Philip Roth
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Roth
The only hope of preserving what is best, lies in the practice of an immense charity, a wide tolerance, a sincere respect for opinions that are not ours. ~ Philip Gilbert Hamerton
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Gilbert Hamerton
For every once upon a time there must be a story to follow, because if a story doesn't, something else will, and it might not be as harmless as a story. ~ Philip Pullman
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Pullman
The answer to the question What really works? is simple: Nothing really works, at least not all the time. That's not the nature of the business world. But that insight, however accurate, isn't of much comfort. Management ~ Philip M. Rosenzweig
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip M. Rosenzweig
It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea. ~ Philip Reeve
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Reeve
The heavens do not send good haps in handfuls; but let us pick out our good by little, and with care, from out much bad, that still our little world may know its king. ~ Philip Sidney
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Sidney
I must admit that the existence of Disneyland (which I know is real) proves that we are not living in Judaea in 50 AD ... Saint Paul would never go near Disneyland. Only children, tourists, and visiting Soviet high officials ever go to Disneyland. Saints do not. ~ Philip K. Dick
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip K. Dick
The movie truism is that stars play themselves, while actors play other people - troubled or toxic, and memorably strange. By that definition, Philip Seymour Hoffman, who disappeared into the rabbit hole of his characters' souls, was our generation's anti-star and the chameleonic film actor of his age. ~ Richard Corliss
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Richard Corliss
We cannot enter the monstrous schizophrenic morass of Nazi internecine intrigue; our minds cannot adapt. ~ Philip K. Dick
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip K. Dick
I rejected the church for a time because I found so little grace there. I returned because I found grace nowhere else. ~ Philip Yancey
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Yancey
Elegance is all in the mind of the wearer. ~ Philip Treacy
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Treacy
Look at any inspired painting. It's like a gong sounding; it puts you in a state of reverberation. ~ Philip Guston
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Guston
There are no unemployed, either in Russia or in Dartmoor jail, and for the same reason. ~ Philip Snowden, 1st Viscount Snowden
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Philip Snowden, 1st Viscount Snowden
Two blades clashed, ringing like a bell. Like all small boys, Philip thought his father was invincible; and this was the moment when he learned the truth. ~ Ken Follett
Lowenthal Philip quotes by Ken Follett
My favourite subject at school was avoiding unnecessary work. ~ Prince Philip
