Smashing heads does not open minds. ~ Deborah Tannen
Open Minds quotes by Deborah Tannen
If you can open people's hearts first, then maybe people's minds get opened after that. ~ Annette Bening
Open Minds quotes by Annette Bening
When people truly open their minds, and contemplate the way in which the universe is ordered and governed, they are amazed-overwhelmed by a sense of the miraculous. When people contemplate with open minds the germination of a single seed, they are equally overwhelmed-yet numerous babies are born every day, and no-one marvels. If only people opened their minds, they would see that the birth of a baby, in which a new life is created, is a greater miracle than restoring life. ~ Saint Augustine
Open Minds quotes by Saint Augustine
Science is a method, not a religion, yet it can be just as close-minded. Open minds here Claire. Always open minds. Question everything, accept nothing as fact until you prove it for yourself. ~ Rachel Caine
Open Minds quotes by Rachel Caine
All I ask is ... ponder with open minds. We've made so many mistakes, humanity, during just one lifetime. Many of them perpetrated not by evildoers, drenched in malice, but by men and women filled with fine motives! Like you. ~ David Brin
Open Minds quotes by David Brin
I think people with open minds will observe the way we do things and realize that our goal is to have successful, happy, productive adults, and they will take our ideas and implement them elsewhere for their own children. ~ Daniel Greenberg
Open Minds quotes by Daniel Greenberg
Having an open mind is the most important precondition for creating
new ideas. ~ Eraldo Banovac
Open Minds quotes by Eraldo Banovac
I don't believe I'm better than anyone else. With beating hearts and open minds, we are all the same. ~ J.R. Ward
Open Minds quotes by J.R. Ward
The wonder of Independence is that it encourages open minds and the desire to improve. ~ Monty Roberts
Open Minds quotes by Monty Roberts
Great things often start out small, and only open minds can perceive their inception. ~ Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
Open Minds quotes by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
One of the great things about young people is that they do question, that they do care deeply about justice, and they they have open minds. ~ Zack De La Rocha
Open Minds quotes by Zack De La Rocha
I had never considered marriage, but I had an open mind, and I was to learn after a brief try at it that most open minds should be closed for repairs. ~ Wilson Mizner
Open Minds quotes by Wilson Mizner
We need open minds and open hearts when we wrestle with the past and ask questions of it, and the answers it will provide are in nobody's pocket ... We should let nobody tell us that they know all that it contains, or try to prescribe or constrain in advance what it has to tell us. ~ Eamon Duffy
Open Minds quotes by Eamon Duffy
You can do and use the skills that you have. The schools need you. The teachers need you. Students and parents need you. They need your actual person: your physical personhood and your open minds and open ears and boundless compassion, sitting next to them, listening and nodding and asking questions for hours at a time. ~ Dave Eggers
Open Minds quotes by Dave Eggers
One can give 'correct' opinion only if one has an open mind. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Open Minds quotes by Dada Bhagwan
The happy times of pristine thinking and open minds, always favorable for beginnings, belonged now to the past, and we knew it. ~ Christa Wolf
Open Minds quotes by Christa Wolf
My goal has not ever been to change minds, my goal is to open minds. ~ Michael Franti
Open Minds quotes by Michael Franti
The universities deceive when they say they have no agenda other than to open minds. ~ Dennis Prager
Open Minds quotes by Dennis Prager
What the world needs most is openness: Open hearts, open doors, open eyes, open minds, open ears, open souls. ~ Robert Muller
Open Minds quotes by Robert Muller
Open hearts can unite in ways even the most open minds cannot imagine. ~ Scott Stabile
Open Minds quotes by Scott Stabile
If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain. ~ Andre Maurois
Open Minds quotes by Andre Maurois
Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds, do not overload them. Put there just a spark. ~ Anatole France
Open Minds quotes by Anatole France
A prepared mind is always made up; it knows what it thinks and why it thinks that. When it's time to change, it just makes itself up a different way. A really made-up mind
made up properly, knowing what it knows and on what basis it knows it
is open. People close an undecided mind because they're trying to protect those sore uncertainties from getting bumped and scraped. ~ John Barnese
Open Minds quotes by John Barnese
Yes, so many love me and all I love. But they do not come to Me as little children with open minds and hearts asking to be so filled with My love, wisdom and grace. They are already so filled with ideas they have decided about Me and My great love, that they inhibit the very most inner knowing of My essence. Books and books are filled with what man thinks of Me, not what man knows of Me. And the words I have given that have been heard have been for years upon years misinterpreted, as their original meanings seem to be so absurd that their minds cannot begin to comprehend.

Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story ~ Debra Clemente
Open Minds quotes by Debra Clemente
The President is at liberty, both in law and conscience, to be as big a man as he can. His capacity will set the limit; and if Congress be overborne by him, it will be no fault of the makers of the Constitution, – it will be from no lack of constitutional powers on its part, but only because the President has the nation behind him, and the Congress has not."

"The chief instrumentality by which the law of the Constitution has been extended to cover the facts of national development has of course been judicial interpretation, – the decisions of the courts. The process of formal amendment of the Constitution was made so difficult by provisions of the Constitution itself that it has seldom been feasible to use it; and the difficulty of formal amendment has undoubtedly made the courts more liberal, not to say lax, in their interpretation than they would otherwise have been. The whole business of adaptation has been theirs, and they have undertaken it with open minds, sometimes even with boldness and a touch of audacity..."


"The old theory of the sovereignty of the States, which used so to engage our passions, has lost its vitality. The war between the States established at least this principle, that the federal government is, through its courts, the final judge of its own powers... We are impatient of state legislatures because they seem to us less representative of the thoughtful opinion of the country than Congress is. We know that our legislatures d ~ Woodrow Wilson
Open Minds quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The future belongs to thouse with open minds aand open hearts, who can appreciate beauty in all it's forms. ~ Kevyn Aucoin
Open Minds quotes by Kevyn Aucoin
We cannot discern what is truly good for our lives without first having our minds renewed. ~ John Bevere
Open Minds quotes by John Bevere
That was the problem with caring. It left you vulnerable, open on one side to the most hideous pain imaginable, and the only antidote was to stop giving a shit, but how did you do that? How did you turn it all off? ~ Andrea Speed
Open Minds quotes by Andrea Speed
Bronwyn jumped when the door of her room sprang open and bounced against the stone wall. Something only one person would do.
Lily.
"Lillabet! What are you doing here? Ranulf-"
"Ranulf?" Lily asked as she cocked her head to the side and wrinkled her nose. "I had forgotten that was his name. Lord,what a mouthful. ~ Michele Sinclair
Open Minds quotes by Michele Sinclair
Open your mouth and let the spiders out! ~ Sijdah Hussain
Open Minds quotes by Sijdah Hussain
Let me get this straight. You have no intention of telling me what's wrong. You don't want to talk about whatever is wrong. And you're going to let me continue to believe I've done something horrible before you'll open up. Even if, say, I restrain you? Force it out of you?"
"The only thing you are going to force out of me under the confinement of restraints is an orgasm."
Finally! "So, you'd be open to my restraining you for my own sexual pleasure?"
"Wide open."
"And, it would be something you'd enjoy?"
"Who wouldn't? ~ Darynda Jones
Open Minds quotes by Darynda Jones
I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love. I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light. The owl flies by night, a dark shadow passing through the darkness; he hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as though he delights in the intoxicating black immensity of space. ~ Guy De Maupassant
Open Minds quotes by Guy De Maupassant
Because God has been reduced in the minds of people, they do not have that boundless confidence in His character that used to be prominent among Christians. Confidence is necessary to respect. You cannot respect a man in whom you have no confidence. Extend that respect upward to God and if you cannot respect God, you cannot worship Him. You cannot have confidence in Him, because where there is no respect there can be no worship. ~ A.W. Tozer
Open Minds quotes by A.W. Tozer
That at the same time of this very intimate act of concentrating so carefully on the details of our mother's palm and fingertips, he was also removing all traces of any tiny leftover parts, and suddenly a ritual which I'd always found incestuous and gross seemed to me more like a desperate act on Joseph's part to get out, to leave, to extract every little last remnant and bring it into open air. ~ Aimee Bender
Open Minds quotes by Aimee Bender
There are so many negative people in this world, so replacing the crap with positive quotes steers our minds to success! ~ Mark Donnelly
Open Minds quotes by Mark Donnelly
What Hamlet suffers from is a lack of zombies. Let us say Rosencrantz and Guildenstern show up - Ho-HO! Now you've got something that stirs the, um, something that stirs things that are stirrable. BOOM! A pack of ravenous flesh-eaters breaks open their heads and sucks out their eyeballs. No need for iambic pentameter because they are grunting, groaning annihilators of humanity with no time for meter. You're not asleep in the back of English class anymore, are you? This is what I'm talking about. Zombies. Learn it, live it, love it. ~ Libba Bray
Open Minds quotes by Libba Bray
When you awaken, you know that everything that occurs at the level of mind is illusory in nature and so you no longer believe in it as the truth of life. It is sometimes happy and sometimes sad, because it is a world of duality. You relax and accept the dual nature of the world of the mind and the world of experience within time. This will create balance within duality which will open the doorway to Oneness. ~ Leonard Jacobson
Open Minds quotes by Leonard Jacobson
Bottom line: if you show a genuine interest in learning about how others became successful, you can open up a world of opportunities. ~ Armstrong Williams
Open Minds quotes by Armstrong Williams
And there is another thing he has in mind
like a grave Sienese face a thousand years
would fail to blur the still profiled reproach of. Ghastly,
with open eyes, he attends, blind.
All the bells say: too late. This is not for tears;
thinking. ~ John Berryman
Open Minds quotes by John Berryman
The soprano studies for seven years in order to be able to open her mouth and make loud sounds for three hours on end. ~ Louise Bogan
Open Minds quotes by Louise Bogan
There were never strawberries
like the ones we had
that sultry afternoon
sitting on the step
of the open french window
facing each other
your knees held in mine
the blue plates in our laps
the strawberries glistening
in the hot sunlight
we dipped them in sugar
looking at each other
not hurrying the feast
for one to come
the empty plates laid on the stone together
with the two forks crossed
and I bent towards you

sweet in that air
in my arms
abandoned like a child
from your eager mouth
the taste of strawberries
in my memory
lean back again
let me love you

let the sun beat
on our forgetfulness
one hour of all
the heat intense
and summer lightning
on the Kilpatrick hills

let the storm wash the plates. ~ Edwin Morgan
Open Minds quotes by Edwin Morgan
However, obeying that law that requires most people to minimise to a superior a misfortune which, to an inferior, they would magnify, Widmerpool thrust his head through the open window of the car, and, smiling reverentially, gave an assurance that all was well. ~ Anthony Powell
Open Minds quotes by Anthony Powell
The dhampir dorm appeared before me, about half its windows lit. It was near curfew; people were going to bed. I burst in through the doors, feeling like my heart was going to explode from the exertion. The first person I saw was Stan, and I nearly knocked him over. He caught my wrists to steady me.
"Rose, wh - "
"Strigoi," I gasped out. "There are Strigoi on campus."
He stared at me, and for the first time I'd ever seen, his mouth seriously dropped open. Then, he recovered himself, and I could immediately see what he was thinking. More ghost stories. "Rose, I don't know what you're - "
"I'm not crazy!" I screamed. Everyone in the dorm's lobby was staring at us. "They're out there! They're out there, and Dimitri is fighting them alone. You have to help him." What had Dimitri told me? What was that word? "Buria. He said to tell you buria."
And like that, Stan was gone. ~ Richelle Mead
Open Minds quotes by Richelle Mead
There are no limits when you are surrounded by people who believe in you, or by people whose expectations are not set by the short-sighted attitudes of society, or by people who help to open doors of opportunity, not close them. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Open Minds quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
I certainly have dreams of being on a Broadway stage someday, if they'll have me. I think I want to stay really open to whatever possibilities present themselves. ~ Sara Bareilles
Open Minds quotes by Sara Bareilles
Harry looked at him and you could see the murder come in his face ... Harry didn't say anything, but you could see the killing go out of his face and his eyes came open natural again. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Open Minds quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
These religious types were the fans that Jesus seems to have the most trouble with. Fans who will walk into a restaurant and bow their heads to pray before a meal just in case someone is watching. Fans who won't go to R-rated movies at the theater, but have a number of them saved on their DVR at home. Fans who may feed the hungry and help the needy, and then they make sure they work it into every conversation for the next two weeks. Fans who make sure people see them put in their offering at church, but they haven't considered reaching out to their neighbor who lost a job and can't pay the bills. Fans who like seeing other people fail because in their minds it makes them look better. Fans whose primary concern in raising their children is what other people think. Fans who are reading this and assuming I'm describing someone else. Fans who have worn the mask for so long they have fooled even themselves. ~ Kyle Idleman
Open Minds quotes by Kyle Idleman
Loneliness is the penalty of leadership, but the man who has to make the decisions is assisted greatly if he feels that there is no uncertainty in the minds of those who follow him, and that his orders will be carried out confidently and in expectation of success. ~ Ernest Shackleton
Open Minds quotes by Ernest Shackleton
But the world, as a creation, is not a mere construction; it too is more than a syntax. It is a poem, which we are apt to forget when grammar takes exclusive hold of our minds. ~ Anonymous
Open Minds quotes by Anonymous
When you open the door, shoot anything that moves. ~ Jason Medina
Open Minds quotes by Jason Medina
I do fear God, but I will also tell you that when a doctor diagnoses you and the word 'cancer' comes out of his mouth, at that point, it changes your life and you do fear less and it also has allowed me to be a lot more open as a person. It's changed me. ~ Joseph J. Lhota
Open Minds quotes by Joseph J. Lhota
When the air gets heavy so it's hard to breathe, you know what's coming. The birds come down from the ridges and hide in the hollows and in the pines. Heavy black clouds float over the mountain, and you run for the cabin.

From the cabin porch we would watch the big bars of light that stand for a full second, maybe two, on the mountaintop, running out feelers or lightning wire in all directions before they're jerked back into the sky. Cracking claps of sound, so sharp you know something has split wide open--then the thunder rolls and rumbles over the ridges and back through the hollows. I was pretty near sure, a time or two, that the mountains was falling down, but Granpa said they wasn't. Which of course, they didn't.

Then it comes again--and rolls blue fireballs of rocks on the ridge tops and splatters the blue in the air. The trees whip and bend in the sudden rushes of wind, and the sweep of heavy rain comes thunking from the clouds in big drops, letting you know there's some real frog-strangling sheets of water coming close behind. ~ Forrest Carter
Open Minds quotes by Forrest Carter
Prediction is the business of prophets, clairvoyants, and futurologists. It is not the business of novelists. A novelist's business is lying.
The weather bureau will tell you what next Tuesday will be like, and the Rand Corporation will tell you what the twenty-first century will be like. I don't recommend that you turn to the writers of fiction for such information. It's none of their business. All they're trying to do is tell you what they're like, and what you're like
what's going on
what the weather is now, today, this moment, the rain, the sunlight, look! Open your eyes; listen, listen. That is what the novelists say. But they don't tell you what you will see and hear. All they can tell you is what they have seen and heard, in their time in this world, a third of it spent in sleep and dreaming another third of it spent in telling lies. [Introduction to The Left Hand of Darkness] ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Open Minds quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Oh Lord! Open the doors of night for me
So that I may leave this place and disappear. ~ Victor Hugo
Open Minds quotes by Victor Hugo
It may, indeed, be said that sympathy exists in all minds, as Faraday has discovered that magnetism exists in all metals; but a certain temperature is required to develop the hidden property, whether in the metal or the mind. ~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Open Minds quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
A thousand times today I've started to open my mouth, started to squeak out, Can you tell me ... ? But then I'd look into the front seat, at my mother's silent shaking, my father's grim profile, the mournful bags under his eyes, and all the questions I might ask seemed abusive. Assault and battery, a question mark used like a club. My parents are old and fragile. I'd have to heartless to want to hurt them. ~ Margaret Peterson Haddix
Open Minds quotes by Margaret Peterson Haddix
We've surpassed ourselves now, we're exploring terrain beyond the limits of merely human understanding. Sometimes its contours, even in conventional space, are just too intricate for our brains to track; other times its very axes extend into dimensions inconceivable to minds built to fuck and fight on some prehistoric grassland. So many things constrain us, from so many directions. The most altruistic and sustainable philosophies fail before the brute brain-stem imperative of self-interest. Subtle and elegant equations predict the behavior of the quantum world, but none can explain it. After four thousand years we can't even prove that reality exists beyond the mind of the first-person dreamer. We have such need of intellects greater than our own. But we're not very good at building them. ~ Peter Watts
Open Minds quotes by Peter Watts
They open up the world. Because knowledge is useless if you don't know how to find it, if you don't even know where to begin to look. - on librarians ~ Patrick Ness
Open Minds quotes by Patrick Ness
Productiveness is your acceptance of morality, your recognition of the fact that you choose to live--that productive work is the process by which man's consciousness controls his existence, a constant process of acquiring knowledge and shaping matter to fit one's purpose, of translating an idea into physical form, of remaking the earth in the image of one's values--that all work is creative work if done by a thinking mind, and no work is creative if done by a blank who repeats in uncritical stupor a routine he has learned from others--that your work is yours to choose, and the choice is as wide as your mind, that nothing more is possible to you and nothing less is human--that to cheat your way into a job bigger than your mind can handle is to become a fear-corroded ape on borrowed motions and borrowed time, and to settle down into a job that requires less than your mind's full capacity is to cut your motor and sentence yourself to another kind of motion: decay--that your work is the process of achieving your values, and to lose your ambition for values is to lose your ambition to live--that your body is a machine, but your mind is its driver, and you must drive as far as your mind will take you, with achievement as the goal of your road--that the man who has no purpose is a machine that coasts downhill at the mercy of any boulder to crash in the first chance ditch, that the man who stifles his mind is a stalled machine slowly going to rust, that the man who lets a leader pres ~ Ayn Rand
Open Minds quotes by Ayn Rand
It is not your duty or responsibility to change the minds of other people. The nature of their thinking is advanced or limited by their experience. In your presence, they have an opportunity to learn about you and, perhaps, to grow. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Open Minds quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
Now to life...I grant you the ability to give, to take, to expedite, to wander, to love, to hate, to charge, to expend...
All of life is beautiful for what it makes of us. With only this single shot, let us leap into the unknown with our eyes open and our hearts ready. ~ Rachel La Rae Wilhelm
Open Minds quotes by Rachel La Rae Wilhelm
I think vulnerable is something you should always be. [It] makes you open to each experience. I try not to see vulnerability as a negative. ~ Lenny Jacobson
