And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. And my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. Cows are invisible. Cows are boring. Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody. ~ Seth Godin
Obvious Things quotes by Seth Godin
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. ~ Mark Haddon
Obvious Things quotes by Mark Haddon
Obama wants to build such things as smart electrical grids and high-speed rail lines, which will offer big environmental improvements. Another obvious thing is that large-scale project financing is virtually frozen, so a lot of renewable energy projects are on hold. If the system doesn't get unclogged before the developers run out of cash, they will be cancelled. Money matters, and we are racing against time. ~ Denis Hayes
Obvious Things quotes by Denis Hayes
People tell me this is obvious. But it's ok to be obvious. Knowing and doing are different. Many people know many obvious things they completely fail to do, despite their knowledge. ~ Scott Berkun
Obvious Things quotes by Scott Berkun
I guess it's kind of the obvious thing for me to do 'cuz it's what I grew up listening to. The songs growing up and everything kind of seem like old music to them, but to me, it's just ... good music. And of course I did grow up in England in the 21st Century and that does come into it as well. ~ George Ezra
Obvious Things quotes by George Ezra
Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing. ~ Fred Wilson
Obvious Things quotes by Fred Wilson
The most obvious things are often right there, but you don't think about them because you've narrowed your vision. ~ Steven Levitt
Obvious Things quotes by Steven Levitt
He wrestled his focus back to his present dilemma. The two of them standing in a cheap hotel room with nothing to do besides the obvious things a man and woman could do in a room with not much more than bed in it. ~ Cat Johnson
Obvious Things quotes by Cat Johnson
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery. ~ Rumi
Obvious Things quotes by Rumi
I guess that as life is speeded up and our capacity for concentration is being nibbled away at by all the obvious things, that leads us actually to be more susceptible to boredom. ~ Geoff Dyer
Obvious Things quotes by Geoff Dyer
Whenever we have excess, giving should be our natural response. It should be the automatic decision, the obvious thing to do in light of Scripture and human need. ~ Randy Alcorn
Obvious Things quotes by Randy Alcorn
The Man of Power is one who presides -
By persuasion. He uses no demeaning words or behavior, does not manipulate others, appeals to the best in everyone, and respects the dignity and
agency of all humankind - men, women, boys, and girls.
By long-suffering. He waits when necessary and listens to the humblest or youngest person. He is tolerant of the ideas of others and avoids quick judgments and anger.
By gentleness. He uses a smile more often than a frown. He is not gruff or loud or frightening; he does not discipline in anger.
By meekness. He is not puffed up, does not dominate conversations, and is willing to conform his will to the will of God.
By love unfeigned. He does not pretend. He is sincere, giving honest love without reservation even when others are unlovable.
By kindness. He practices courtesy and thoughtfulness in little things as well as in the more obvious things. By pure knowledge. He avoids half-truths and seeks to be empathetic.
Without hypocrisy. He practices the principles he teaches. He knows he is not always right and is willing to admit his mistakes and say 'I'm sorry.'
Without guile. He is not sly or crafty in his dealings with others, but is honest and authentic when describing his feelings. ~ H. Burke Peterson
Obvious Things quotes by H. Burke Peterson
We cannot conceive how the Foetus is form'd in the Womb, nor as much as how a Plant springs from the Earth we tread on ... And if we are ignorant of the most obvious things about us, and the most considerable within our selves, 'tis then no wonder that we know not the constitution and powers of the creatures, to whom we are such strangers. ~ Joseph Glanvill
Obvious Things quotes by Joseph Glanvill
Food trends don't just drive the obvious things, like cupcakes or cronuts, but something as elemental as your daily cup of coffee. The way you have that coffee now is probably very different from the way you had it ten years ago, and it'll probably be very different in ten years. That has a huge impact, culturally and economically. ~ David Sax
Obvious Things quotes by David Sax
Science,' said Mr Anders Anders. 'Science, not magic. I told you before: when things are not as they appear to be, it's because they're actually simpler than you think them to be. Things are never as difficult and complicated as folk believe. You'd be surprised just how straightforward and obvious things really are. The secret is in knowing how to look at them the right way. ~ Robert Rankin
Obvious Things quotes by Robert Rankin
There are a few obvious consequences and perhaps one subtle possibility. One obvious thing is that, to stimulate the economy, President Obama has committed to creating millions of green jobs that will leave a legacy - much as Roosevelt's public works did during the new deal. ~ Denis Hayes
Obvious Things quotes by Denis Hayes
But mark, madam, we live amongst riddles and mysteries
the most obvious things, which come in our way, have dark sides, which thequickest sight cannot penetrate into; and even the clearest and most exalted understandings amongst us find ourselves puzzled and at a loss in almost every cranny of nature's works. ~ Laurence Sterne
Obvious Things quotes by Laurence Sterne
We wonder how people can't see the most obvious things about themselves, yet we forget those people are us. ~ Ezra Bayda
Obvious Things quotes by Ezra Bayda
One of the obvious things that went wrong with Multics as a commercial success was just that it was sort of over-engineered in a sense. There was just too much in it. ~ Dennis Ritchie
Obvious Things quotes by Dennis Ritchie
Whenever I can, I paint the powerful and obvious things in my subject first. ~ Richard Schmid
Obvious Things quotes by Richard Schmid
It's more like there are some really obvious things that are different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters. That becomes the state of where you left your galaxy. The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them. ~ Casey Hudson
Obvious Things quotes by Casey Hudson
Components are how people solve problems above a modest scale; it's one thing that separates us from chimpanzees. We invented a way of solving problems by simply making it the other guy's problem. It's called specialization of labor, and it's as simple as that. That's how the humans differ from chimpanzees: they never invented that. They know how to make tools, they have a language, so for most of the obvious things there are no differences between chimps and humans. We discovered how to solve problems by making it the other guy's problem - through an economic system. ~ Brad Cox
Obvious Things quotes by Brad Cox
It's funny how sometimes you don't see the obvious things coming. You think you know what life has in store for you. You think you're prepared. You think you can handle it. And then-boom, like a thunderclap-something comes at you out of nowhere and catches you off guard. ~ Cynthia Hand
Obvious Things quotes by Cynthia Hand
The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds. ~ Charles Horton Cooley
Obvious Things quotes by Charles Horton Cooley
Everybody's got something to tell you. And most people have told me to do the obvious thing as far as my career goes. Which would have sent me tottering into the abyss. ~ Robert Plant
Obvious Things quotes by Robert Plant
The truth is, the Science of Nature has been already too long made only a work of the Brain and the Fancy: It is now high time that it should return to the plainness and soundness of Observations on material and obvious things. ~ Robert Hooke
Obvious Things quotes by Robert Hooke
If the proof starts from axioms, distinguishes several cases, and takes thirteen lines in the text book ... it may give the youngsters the impression that mathematics consists in proving the most obvious things in the least obvious way. ~ George Polya
Obvious Things quotes by George Polya
The obvious thing for the cavalryman to do is to accept the fighting machine as a partner, and prepare to meet more fully the demands of future warfare. ~ George S. Patton
Obvious Things quotes by George S. Patton
But Percy Jackson has always been reliable. You have nothing to fear. Besides, he likes me. I taught him everything he knows."
She frowned. "You did?"
I found her innocence somewhat charming. So many obvious things she did not know. "Of course. Now let's go up. ~ Rick Riordan
Obvious Things quotes by Rick Riordan
When you go to that other country you realize that in France and in England, you don't ask somebody what they do for a living when you meet someone. A lot of the obvious things, the shortcuts we take in America - in America you can talk about money all you want. You can ask how much they make, rent they pay, how much their house costs and how much their car costs, and they'll feel comfortable telling you. But it's scandalous to ask anyone in England or France a question like that. ~ David Sedaris
Obvious Things quotes by David Sedaris
there are only a few obvious things that I notice as primarily beautiful: women, spring evenings, music at night, the sea; ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Obvious Things quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Listen, the obvious thing to remember is without dark, there is no light, and without light, there is no dark. ~ Jessica Capshaw
Obvious Things quotes by Jessica Capshaw
I do think it's perfectly natural and human to want to invest belief in something. It's just a facet of who we are. What do I believe in? I believe in the obvious things. The people I'm close to and my work - it's not complicated. ~ Dylan Moran
Obvious Things quotes by Dylan Moran
All her life she'd had little interest in the workings of boys' minds, which she imagined only as a set of flimsy pinwheels turning in the direction of obvious things. ~ Omar El Akkad
Obvious Things quotes by Omar El Akkad
I figured something out," he said aloud. "The future is unpredictable."
Hassan said, "Sometimes the kafir likes to say massively obvious things in a really profound voice. ~ John Green
Obvious Things quotes by John Green
Every high civilization decays by forgetting obvious things. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Obvious Things quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Amazing how the most obvious things escape your notice. Maybe the truth is exactly the things you don't notice. Maybe the aim to see and tell the truth is inherently futile, a contradiction in terms, and it's exactly those things about oneself and the world that are invisible because they are woven into one's fabric that are the truth. Just like a person can't see his own eyes. You search and search and search, and the truth, by definition, is exactly that which you don't find. You don't see the truth, you are the truth. "Habits of attention are reflexes of the complete character of an individual." And how could you notice your own habits of attention? By writing. Well, at their most profound level? It doesn't make any difference. That is the point. It's like Zen. The truth is not straining for the truth, the truth is in effortlessness. The truth is in being, not trying. Aw hell, that doesn't leave much too chew on. ~ Richard Hell
Obvious Things quotes by Richard Hell
What is the relationship of the obvious things that we see around us to the things that we believe we understand within ourselves? This is the ancient alchemical formula: "as above, so below, as within, so without." ~ Fred Alan Wolf
Obvious Things quotes by Fred Alan Wolf
Only recently I've learned, it's an obvious thing, but it just took me a while to realize ~ David Archuleta
Obvious Things quotes by David Archuleta
I make a model of the site. There are some obvious things: where the entrance should be, where the cars have to go in. You start to get the scale of it. You understand the client's needs, and what the client is hoping for and yearning for. ~ Frank Gehry
Obvious Things quotes by Frank Gehry
I'm not an absolutist about free speech. Intellectually, I believe that most of the time it's better to let things get said, argue them, and put lies and stupidities to rest. Practically, I know that newspapers rarely issue corrections with the same prominence they give to denouncements - and Twitter, by its nature, never does. ~ Nick Harkaway
Obvious Things quotes by Nick Harkaway
Pride, oh pride - a friend from the past, a bodyguard of the present, and an enemy of the future. Books, oh books - a friend from the past, a soul mate of the present, and a protector of the future.
Slowly, softly, and surely through the pages of the past, I have found a new me. There were so many things to learn and so many things remaining to learn. I delight in the truth of why some books I will read, and other I will not. The truth is: I was not choosing.
In pleasing myself with books, I transform myself. And I've found sometimes the most amazing keys to unlocking a different part of me in the strangest of books. I go to libraries and there they are waiting for me. I love them, and they love me. ~ Mark Donnelly
Obvious Things quotes by Mark Donnelly
Make the choice to embrace this day. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the ghost of yesterday or the "To-Do" list of tomorrow! It's inspiring to see all the wonderfully amazing things that can happen in a day in which you participate. ~ Steve Maraboli
Obvious Things quotes by Steve Maraboli
Don't be afraid of giving kids responsibility, be there to guide & support them, not just to do things for them ~ Kevin Heath
Obvious Things quotes by Kevin Heath
Things that excite me are these four different bands: Wire, with a song called 'Champs,' Misfits, with a song called 'Hybrid Moments,' R. Stevie Moore, and Wipers 'Wait A Minute.' ~ Albert Hammond, Jr.
Obvious Things quotes by Albert Hammond, Jr.
I've had a lot of different responses to my films. I got a lot of support from 'The Piano,' the obvious one, but it feels like an ocean, with a lot going on - the goal is to keep alive. ~ Jane Campion
Obvious Things quotes by Jane Campion
When you give, give from the place of the heart because it is the right thing to do, not the easy thing to do. ~ Suze Orman
Obvious Things quotes by Suze Orman
The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables the discourse to continue. ~ Samuel Beckett
Obvious Things quotes by Samuel Beckett
Consider how quickly all things are dissolved and resolved: ~ Marcus Aurelius
Obvious Things quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Maybe I am skipping over the city and going from very personal things to the world, from internal experience to giant, far-away-from-space experience. ~ Regina Spektor
Obvious Things quotes by Regina Spektor
When Things Fall Apart" and I quote "Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It's a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs. ~ Pema Chodron
Obvious Things quotes by Pema Chodron
you have to plant things even if you don't think you'll get to see the harvest. ~ Anna Hess
Obvious Things quotes by Anna Hess
For me, the movie's always evolving as I'm doing it. I throw things in as we shoot, and I take things out as we go. I want to create a whole life and then select the pieces that best sort of describe it later, you know? So there's a lot of wastage when I make a film. ~ Andrew Dominik
Obvious Things quotes by Andrew Dominik
I have so many strong opinions on the entertainment industry, but if I'm in a deli somewhere, and someone says they love that Adam Sandler movie where he dresses up as his twin sister - well, I don't want to make people feel bad for how they feel about things. I'm always courteous, not mean. ~ Andy Kindler
Obvious Things quotes by Andy Kindler
Most people are not prepared to have their minds changed," he said. "And I think they know in their hearts that other people are just the same, and one of the reasons people become angry when they argue is that they realize just that, as they trot out their excuses."
"Excuses, eh?" Well, if this ain't cynicism, what is?" Erens snorted.
"Yes, excuses," he said, with what Erens thought might just have been a trace of bitterness. "I strongly suspect the things people believe in are usually just what they instinctively feel is right; the excuses, the justifications, the things you're supposed to argue about, come later. They're the least important part of the belief. That's why you can destroy them, win an argument, prove the other person wrong, and still they believe what they did in the first place." He looked at Erens. "You've attacked the wrong thing. ~ Iain M. Banks
Obvious Things quotes by Iain M. Banks
We think that play and fairytales belong to childhood - how shortsighted that is! As though we would want at any time in our life to live without play and fairytales! We give these things other names, to be sure, and feel differently about them, but precisely this is the evidence that they are the same things, for the child too regards play as his work and fairy tales as his truth. The brevity of life ought to preserve us from a pedantic division of life into different stages - as though each brought something new ... ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Obvious Things quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I should be glad of loneliness And hours that go on broken wings,A thirsty body, a tired heart And the unchanging ache of things,If I could make a single song As lovely and as full of light,As hushed and brief as a falling star On a winter night. ~ Sara Teasdale
Obvious Things quotes by Sara Teasdale
Women, and what went on under their collars. Hotness and coldness, coming and going in the strange musky flowery variable-weather country inside their clothes
mysterious, important, uncontrollable. That was his father's take on things. But men's body temperatures were never dealt with; they were never even mentioned ... ~ Margaret Atwood
Obvious Things quotes by Margaret Atwood
I want language to help us live in a world of wonder/terror/change. I want it to be about "becoming" rather than "being." I think that being and nouns are part of our hopeless dream that time will stop and we will not die. but it's not that way. So, why not celebrate verbs and the beloved's metamorphosis into other people or creatures or places - the same spirit but moving through things, not static. ~ Gregory Orr
Obvious Things quotes by Gregory Orr
...beautiful things often happen, and that the most beautiful things are often simple. ~ Chris Gethard
Obvious Things quotes by Chris Gethard
I don't believe in fate, because I'm not spiritual, but things do seem to work out. ~ Rob Zombie
Obvious Things quotes by Rob Zombie
Sometimes I do readings and people can't stop laughing, but I'm reading about pretty tragic things. I think Soviet humor is a desperate humor, rather typical of very different nations, of Jewish people, Ukrainians, and of course, Russians. It's despair - just keep laughing, until you are dead. ~ Alina Bronsky
Obvious Things quotes by Alina Bronsky
My philosophy about the game, for instance, is that you have players out there who really do different things. ~ Tiffeny Milbrett
Obvious Things quotes by Tiffeny Milbrett
I also knew that for three months, one of the things I seriously missed was making out with him. ~ Kristen Ashley
Obvious Things quotes by Kristen Ashley
Autumn comes
like a buyer of cloth,
her long fingers
touching,
turning orange,
yellow, brown.

taking what she wants,
stretching
the bone taut air.

Her skin crackles beneath
our feet.

I didn't think anyone wanted me,

bruises pulled
like a sweater around
my neck.

We talk
in the pore tightening air,
branches bare,
about the girl buried in the chill
of prewinter.

We show each other
our mutilated children
in the guise of women
as autumn plucks
at our lips.

Each color,
blue, black, ochre
popping like kisses
on the rib lined flesh,
the puberty soft things.

And we muse
how women
keep bruises
hidden
beneath dead
leaves. ~ Janice Mirikitani
Obvious Things quotes by Janice Mirikitani
The idea that boxing lends itself to cinema so well is because it's usually a morality play - good against evil, insecurity and triumph, fear strikes out, so the audience can really get drawn into the drama of it. Also, it was sensual and very primal. I think subliminaly we do two things - life is a fight, life is a struggle and we understand that from our early, early, early ancestors, and life is a race. ~ Sylvester Stallone
Obvious Things quotes by Sylvester Stallone
Life is a binary system. Things work out or they don't, worry doesn't add much, and the only way to influence the process is simply not giving up. ~ Garry Lee Wright
Obvious Things quotes by Garry Lee Wright
Speaker Ryan, who voted for the $1.1 trillion 2016 Omnibus Spending Bill, demanding Trump show him his conservative credentials is as though a guy who never built a thing were to mock a man who has built lots of things. ~ Ilana Mercer
Obvious Things quotes by Ilana Mercer
When we woke up every morning, one of our things was, "Let's go put a new sign in the back window of the van." Those are the different signs we had up in the back of our van, so that the people behind us could have something enjoyable to look at. ~ David Pajo
Obvious Things quotes by David Pajo
If you keep wiggling, things might get uncomfortable," he said into my ear, his voice like a caress. "I'm doing my best, but thinking about baseball only takes you so far." I froze. ~ Ilona Andrews
Obvious Things quotes by Ilona Andrews
I don't know how long I lay there afterward, telling myself: squeeze your eyelids tight, just try to forget. Try to ignore all the things that didn't feel right, all the things that felt like they would never feel right again. ~ Amber Smith
Obvious Things quotes by Amber Smith
I think eventually they're going to find out that MS is like 10 different things. I have a neurological disease something like MS, and it's MS, so let's take medicine for it. ~ Teri Garr
