Every woman is beautiful. Every woman is amazing because every woman's heart is filled with the motherly instinct of unconditional love. ~ Debasish Mridha
Motherly Instinct quotes by Debasish Mridha
Every woman is distinctly beautiful because every woman has a motherly instinct. ~ Debasish Mridha
Motherly Instinct quotes by Debasish Mridha
Never Underestimate the Divine Strength of a Mother who appears Broken.....
This phrase, in the most reciprocal form, is powerful. A broken woman is perceived as weak, battered, useless, and incapable, among many other low states of Human life, effortlessly causing her to think it might be best to lie down and die. The thought represents a desperation to escape a pain more powerful than she. There is, but one superseding power, greater than the pain itself. You take this woman, who loves her kids to the highest degree of unselfishness and give her a hint they're suffering. A Divine Strength that can't be seen, perhaps not even felt will ignite a fire within her from miles away. No one in its path will see it coming, not even her. This strength indicates that she will go beyond any limits to protect her offspring even if it means rising to her death. There's no mountain too high, no fire too crucible, nor a fear she won't face, to ensure they are safe, both mentally and physically. The best part is, no matter how broken down she appears, or how robbed she may be, no one can take from her, what they don't know she possesses. Following the exhaustion of all other choices, this strength is activated, only when it's most necessary. It may never be discovered in a lifetime by many, but you can bet it's there when you need it most. It's in every one of us, festering, waiting for what may be the last moments of life or death. ~ L. Yingling
Motherly Instinct quotes by L. Yingling
Once my father told me: When a Jew prays, he is asking God a question that has no end.

Darkness fell. Rain fell.

I never asked: What question?

And now it's too late. Because I lost you, Tateh. One day, in the spring of 1938, on a rainy day that gave way to a break in the clouds, I lost you. You'd gone out to collect specimens for a theory you were hatching about rainfall, instinct, and butterflies. And then you were gone. We found you lying under a tree, your face splashed with mud. We knew you were free then, unbound by disappointing results. And we buried you in the cemetery where your father was buried, and his father, under the shade of the chestnut tree. Three years later, I lost Mameh. The last time I saw her she was wearing her yellow apron. She was stuffing things in a suitcase, the house was a wreck. She told me to go into the woods. She'd packed me food, and told me to wear my coat, even though it was July. "Go," she said. I was too old to listen, but like a child I listened. She told me she'd follow the next day. We chose a spot we both knew in the woods. The giant walnut tree you used to like, Tateh, because you said it had human qualities. I didn't bother to say goodbye. I chose to believe what was easier. I waited. But. She never came.
Since then I've lived with the guilt of understanding too late that she thought she would have been a burden to me. I lost Fitzy. He was studying in Vilna, Tateh - someone who knew someone tol ~ Nicole Krauss
Motherly Instinct quotes by Nicole Krauss
They're meat with a trace amount of instinct reverberation, which makes them suited to event planning. ~ Matt Wallace
Motherly Instinct quotes by Matt Wallace
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure, it's a little like making love, the physical act of love. ~ Francis Bacon
Motherly Instinct quotes by Francis Bacon
I think your main draws are instinct, intuition and empathy ... those things that you can't really practice. ~ Scarlett Alice Johnson
Motherly Instinct quotes by Scarlett Alice Johnson
Letting go of rational thought, he surrendered himself to instinct, to the odd quirk within that made him one with machines. The same quirk that had melded him almost effortlessly with his prosthetic limb and perhaps was the reason he'd lost none of his connection with the Force, even though his arm and hand were made of metal. ~ Karen Miller
Motherly Instinct quotes by Karen Miller
What the media are telling you to be afraid of are the wrong things ... Fear is a necessary ingredient of our survival instincts. ~ Michael Moore
Motherly Instinct quotes by Michael Moore
He "binds up the broken-hearted" (Isa. 61:1). As a mother is tenderest toward the most diseased and weakest child, so does Christ most mercifully incline to the weakest. Likewise he puts an instinct into the weakest things to rely upon something stronger than themselves for support. The vine steadies itself upon the elm, and the weakest creatures often have the strongest shelters. The consciousness of the church's weakness makes her willing to lean on her Beloved and to hide herself under his wing. ~ Richard Sibbes
Motherly Instinct quotes by Richard Sibbes
Passion for fame: A passion which is the instinct of all great souls. ~ Edmund Burke
Motherly Instinct quotes by Edmund Burke
Some people you don't give up on. Not because you can tell what they'll be or what will happen. Not because of that. It's because something inside you insists that you shouldn't
something knows more or knows better, stubbornly holds its ground, even while the the rest of the world and a million statistics and your own rational brain buzzes around you, chanting that you're a fool. And maybe they're right. Maybe you ARE a fool. But what if you're not? Can you give up without knowing if that voice was right all along? Where's the peace in that? ~ Jennifer DeLucy
Motherly Instinct quotes by Jennifer DeLucy
Women's genetic celebrity power magnifies men's protector instinct. It inspires the government-as-substitute-husband. Men's addiction to the genetic celebrity is either invisible or in the denial stage thus we either don't see it, or when confronted, deny it. ~ Warren Farrell
Motherly Instinct quotes by Warren Farrell
It was instinct to pull back, to let go before I felt him let go first, bu he didn't allow me. ~ Alexandra Bracken
Motherly Instinct quotes by Alexandra Bracken
What the boy felt was something pure, something gentle, something that predates sex or sensual fulfillment. It was the simple desire to reach out and touch a loving body, to be held in loving arms. Tenderness is a deeper instinct than seduction, which is why it is so difficult to give up hope. ~ Michel Houellebecq
Motherly Instinct quotes by Michel Houellebecq
Nansen had moreover introduced a startling new concept into Polar exploration. He had deliberately cut off his lines of retreat. His route was from the desolate east coast to the inhabited west. This was not bravado, but calculated exploitation of the instinct of self-preservation. It drove him on; there was no incentive to look back. ~ Roland Huntford
Motherly Instinct quotes by Roland Huntford
You know your gut instincts are spot on about a person when you can also detect a water source in the soil beneath them. ~ Dane Cook
Motherly Instinct quotes by Dane Cook
She was alone and destitute in a world of pointless carnage. By an eight-hundred-year-old Sepahrdic tradition she ad been since the age of twelve and a half "bogeret l'reshut nafsha"
an adult wit authority over her own soul. The Torah taught, Choose life. And so, rather than die of pride, Sofia Mendes sold what she had to sell, and she survived. ~ Mary Doria Russell
Motherly Instinct quotes by Mary Doria Russell
Beasts, birds, and insects, even to the minutest and meanest of their kind, act with the unerring providence of instinct; man, the while, who possesses a higher faculty, abuses it, and therefore goes blundering on. ~ Robert Southey
Motherly Instinct quotes by Robert Southey
The swarms of cringers, suckers, doughfaces, lice of politics, planners of sly involutions for their own preferment to city offices or state legislatures or the judiciary or congress or the presidency, obtain a response of love and natural deference from the people whether they get the offices or no ... when it is better to be a bound booby and rogue in office at a high salary than the poorest free mechanic or farmer with his hat unmoved from his head and firm eyes and a candid and generous heart ... and when servility by town or state or the federal government or any oppression on a large scale or small scale can be tried on without its own punishment following duly after in exact proportion against the smallest chance of escape ... or rather when all life and all the souls of men and women are discharged from any part of the earth - then only shall the instinct of liberty be discharged from that part of the earth. ~ Walt Whitman
Motherly Instinct quotes by Walt Whitman
The Forsytes were resentful of something, not individually, but as a family; this resentment expressed itself in an added perfection of raiment, an exuberance of family cordiality, an exaggeration of family importance, and the sniff. Danger so indispensable in bringing out the fundamental quality of any society, group, or individual was what the Forsytes scented; the premonition of danger put a burnish on their armour. For the first time, as a family, they appeared to have an instinct of being in contact, with some strange and unsafe thing. ~ John Galsworthy
Motherly Instinct quotes by John Galsworthy
Taking men as they have been and are, they are subjects of passion, emotion, and instinct. Only ~ William Graham Sumner
Motherly Instinct quotes by William Graham Sumner
As they prepared themselves to go ashore no one doubted in theory that at least a certain percentage of them would remain on the island dead, once they set foot on it. But no one expected to be one of these. Still it was an awesome thought and as the first contingents came struggling up on deck in full gear to form up, all eyes instinctively sought out immediately this island where they were to be put, and left, and which might possibly turn out to be a friend's grave. ~ James Jones
Motherly Instinct quotes by James Jones
Amazing what humans could do to one another when their survival instinct kicked in. ~ Jason M. Hough
Motherly Instinct quotes by Jason M. Hough
There's no such thing as intelligent vanity. It's an instinct. And you'll never find a man who is not first and foremost vain. ~ Louis Ferdinand Celine
Motherly Instinct quotes by Louis Ferdinand Celine
I generally wade in blind and trust to fate and instinct to see me through. ~ Peter Straub
Motherly Instinct quotes by Peter Straub
As a citizen of the world, it's my instinct to keep the fallen and the suffering in my thoughts. The human brain fascinates me; its limitless bounds of empathy. You see, in my mind there is logic to it: do no harm, prevent harm, help, support, care for the harmed, face the harmer. My stupid idealist conscience considers sympathy, not pity, at its worst, the most basic and the least negotiable civil duty. Of course as a citizen of the world, I should strive to do more. That said, I am only a man and so I often do the least. ~ Asaad Almohammad
Motherly Instinct quotes by Asaad Almohammad
I dont like doing whats expected. Ive always done best when Ive listened to my instincts rather than following convention or doing what other people think I should do. ~ Shawn Colvin
Motherly Instinct quotes by Shawn Colvin
You know you love something if you're willing to die for it, and you know it means nothing if you walk away from that which is dying. ~ Anthony Liccione
Motherly Instinct quotes by Anthony Liccione
People don't want to think. And the deeper they get into trouble, the less they want to think. But by some sort of instinct, they feel that they ought to and it makes them feel guilty. So they'll bless and follow anyone who gives them a justification for not thinking. Anyone who makes a virtue - a highly intellectual virtue - out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt ... They envy achievement, and their dream of greatness is a world where all men have become their acknowledged inferiors. They don't know that that dream is the infallible proof of mediocrity, because that sort of world is what the man of achievement would not be able to bear ~ Ayn Rand
Motherly Instinct quotes by Ayn Rand
The passage from the state of nature to the civil state produces a very remarkable change in man, by substituting justice for instinct in his conduct. ~ Henri Rousseau
Motherly Instinct quotes by Henri Rousseau
The mind is "ashamed" of the blood. And the blood is destroyed by the mind, actually. Hence palefaces. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Motherly Instinct quotes by D.H. Lawrence
Being able to escape to a dreamland was a survival instinct for me. ~ Mia Sheridan
Motherly Instinct quotes by Mia Sheridan
He felt a spasm of excitement because he knew instinctively who it was, or at least knew who it was he wanted it to be, and once you know what it is you want to be true, instinct is a very useful device for enabling you to know that it is. ~ Douglas Adams
Motherly Instinct quotes by Douglas Adams
Emotion clouds the rational, and many perspectives guide the full reality. To view current events as a historian is to account for all perspectives, even those of your enemy. It is to know the past and to use such relevant history as a template for expectations. It is, most of all, to force reason ahead of instinct, to refuse to demonize that which you hate, and to, most of all, accept your own fallibility. ~ R.A. Salvatore
Motherly Instinct quotes by R.A. Salvatore
A fire burned in her chest. A fire that both terrified her and compelled her to lean into him and take everything he would give her. She trembled with the force of these strange emotions.
"Shona." He lifted his hand to gently tilt her chin up and caress her cheek. His breath teased her lips and his nose touched hers briefly.
"Aye," she responded.
His masculine scent and that of spices from the mulled wine stole her thoughts. When his lips touched hers like a light brush of silk, she was ensnared and her breath remained trapped in her chest. Some instinct within her surged to the surface and she pressed her lips firmly against his. ~ Vonda Sinclair
Motherly Instinct quotes by Vonda Sinclair
All this was very loose guessing, and I don't pretend it was ingenious or scientific. I wasn't any kind of Sherlock Holmes. But I have always fancied I had a kind of instinct about questions like this. I don't know if I can explain myself, but I used to use my brains as far as they went, and after they came to a blank wall I guessed, and I usually found my guesses pretty right. ~ John Buchan
Motherly Instinct quotes by John Buchan
There seems to be a human instinct for prayer. Swiss theologian Karl Barth calls it our 'incurable God-sickness.' ~ Timothy Keller
Motherly Instinct quotes by Timothy Keller
If you speak up online and your ideas have currency, people are going to show up and want to connect with you. What we need more of are people with the guts and emotional labour to do this. The greatest shortage in today's society is an instinct to produce. ~ Seth Godin
Motherly Instinct quotes by Seth Godin
Civilized people cannot fully satisfy their sexual instinct without love. ~ Bertrand Russell
Motherly Instinct quotes by Bertrand Russell
To be hired as a girlfriend, sure, this seemed abnormal, but then again so many things seemed abnormal to me that I'd long ago learned not to trust that instinct. ~ Catherine Lacey
Motherly Instinct quotes by Catherine Lacey
When a creature is exposed to violence, it will tend to adapt to that disturbance, so that when the violence ceases or the creature is allowed its freedom, the healthy instinct to flee is hugely diminished, and the creature stays put instead. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Motherly Instinct quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Yes I believe a man will compliment my life oneday, but what's the rush.. I mean everyone's searching so passionately for something to fill the void and I don't want any part in that, I'm happy finding my own way untill I get swept of my feet. ~ Nikki Rowe
Motherly Instinct quotes by Nikki Rowe
In World War II, some Japanese soldiers preferred to take their own lives rather become prisoners of war. In Saipan hundreds of civilians jumped to their deaths over cliffs in order to avoid falling into American hands. Even in life-or-death situations cultural ties and duties often outweigh the instinct for survival. This is why people die in the attempt to rescue a dog from drowning, or decide to become suicide bombers. ~ Harald Welzer
Motherly Instinct quotes by Harald Welzer
What would happen if you couldn't forget, if every emotion from every person whose grief you'd eaten came back up? It could happen if something went wrong with the formula millions and millions of permutations down the line. A thousand falling men landing on you.
Nneoma tried to retreat, to close her eyes and unsee, but she couldn't. Instinct took over and she raced to calculate it all. The breadth of it was so
vast, too vast. It was just her and Kioni together, their burden excessive, even for two. The last clear thought she would ever have was of her father, how crimson his burden had been when she'd tried to shoulder it, and how very pale it all seemed now. ~ Lesley Nneka Arimah
Motherly Instinct quotes by Lesley Nneka Arimah
Partly by accident, partly by instinct, partly by deliberate contrivance, he was the first intellectual systematically to exploit the guilt of the privileged. And he did it, moreover, in an entirely new way, by the systematic cult of rudeness. He was the prototype of that characteristic figure of the modern age, the Angry Young Man. ~ Paul Johnson
Motherly Instinct quotes by Paul Johnson
A 'biomass' man reaction comes from reflexes and instinct ~ Sunday Adelaja
Motherly Instinct quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Any time I let it, the weight of living creeps in and starts to drag her down. It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored. People talk to her, but it feels like they are outside a house, talking through the walls. There are friends, but they are people to spend time with, not people to share time with. There's a false beast that takes the form of instinct and harps on the pointlessness of everything that happens. ~ David Levithan
Motherly Instinct quotes by David Levithan
Because, if you stop to think of it, the three Rules of Robotics are the essential guiding principles of a good many of the world's ethical systems. Of course, every human being is supposed to have the instinct of self-preservation. That's Rule Three to a robot. Also every 'good' human being, with a social conscience and a sense of responsibility, is supposed to defer to proper authority; to listen to his doctor, his boss, his government, his psychiatrist, his fellow man; to obey laws, to follow rules, to conform to custom - even when they interfere with his comfort or his safety. That's Rule Two to a robot. Also, every 'good' human being is supposed to love others as himself, protect his fellow man, risk his life to save another. That's Rule One to a robot. To put it simply - if Byerley follows all the Rules of Robotics, he may be a robot, and may simply be a very good man. ~ Isaac Asimov
