It takes the whole church to know the whole truth. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Well, today, the diocese is more than ever a microcosm. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
We can at least see that the question is asked, and asked on the basis of a clear recognition that there is no way of manipulating our environment that is without cost or consequence - and thus also of a recognition that we are inextricably bound up with the destiny of our world. There is no guarantee that the world we live in will 'tolerate' us indefinitely if we prove ourselves unable to live within its constraints. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
I long for the Church to be more truly itself, and for me this involves changing its stance on war, sex, investment and many other difficult matters. I believe in all conscience that my questions and my disagreements are all of God. Yet I must also learn to live in and attend to the reality of the Church as it is, to do the prosaic things that can be and must be done now and to work at my relations now with the people who will not listen to me or those like me - because what God asks of me is not to live in the ideal future but to live with honesty and attentiveness in the present, i.e., to be at home.

"What if the project in question is myself, and not some larger social question such as war? At the end of the day, it is the central concern for most of us. We long to change and to grow, and we are rightly suspicious of those who are pleased with the way they are and cannot seem to conceive of changing any further. Yet the torture of trying to push away and overcome what we currently are or have been, the bitter self-contempt of knowing what we lack, the postponement of joy and peace because we cannot love ourselves now - these are not the building blocks for effective change. We constantly try to start from somewhere other than where we are. Truthful living involves being at home with ourselves, not complacently but patiently, recognizing that what we are today, at this moment, is sufficiently loved and valued by God to be the material with which he will work, and ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time, anger at what we can't do, fear or even disgust at growing old. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Doctrinal formulae are neither a set of neat definitions nor some sort of affront to the free-thinking soul; they are words that tell us enough truth to bring us to the edge of speech, and words that sustain enough common life to hold us there together in worship and mutual love... I learned to rethink Hegel and to grasp that what he was concerned with was not a system that could be projected on to some detached reality 'out there', but a habit of thinking that always sought to understand itself as a process of self-questioning and self-dissolution in the process of discovering *real* language - and thus real thinking. It is the energy of surpassing the settled individual self in the journey to truth... The Hegelian point (as I understand it) is that meaning does not come in the gaps between words or things, but in the way in which the structure and the surface of the world and speech can be so read and heard as to lead us into new and strange configurations of understanding - how words and things always deliver more than themselves, more than a series of objects and labels, and so both undermine and re-establish appearances.

Hans Urs von Balthasar... developed an aesthetic of extraordinary depth in which some of the same themes may be discerned. His 'dramatic' construal of the world is meant to remind us that we do not start from intuitions of spiritual truth and then embody them in some way in practices and words. First we are addressed and engaged by what is utt ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Truth makes love possible; love makes truth bearable. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
[T]here is no goodness that is not bodily and realistic and local. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
My visit this autumn is an opportunity to continue that rich tradition of visits between Canterbury and Rome. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
The world's creation has a beginning from the world's point of view, not from God's. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
A hermit said, "Do not judge an adulterer if you are chaste or you will break the law of God just as much as he does. For he who said 'Do not commit adultery' also said 'Do not judge. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Silence is letting what there is be what it is. In that sense it has to do profoundly with God: the silence of simply being. We experience that at times when there is nothing we can say or do that would not intrude on the integrity and the beauty of that being. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
I have to go on being a priest and bishop, that is, to celebrate God and what God has done in Jesus, and to offer in God's name whatever I can discern of God's perspective on the world around - something which involves both challenge and comfort. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
admire the ingenuity that goes into this but I am not at all convinced that such people have quite got the right end of the stick. Does God really want us to know, in exact detail, ancient Babylonian history? I suspect not. But I am confident that God does want us to know how people in circumstances of acute displacement, living with the fear and the anxiety of a persecuted minority, responded to a hostile state and a pagan power. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
To share Eucharistic communion with someone unbaptized, or committed to another story or system, is odd - not because the sacrament is 'profaned', or because grace cannot be given to those outside the household, but because the symbolic integrity of the Eucharist depends upon its being celebrated by those who both commit themselves to the paradigm of Jesus' death and resurrection and acknowledge that their violence is violence offered to Jesus. All their betrayals are to be understood as betrayals of him; and through that understanding comes forgiveness and hope. Those who do not so understand themselves and their sin or their loss will not make the same identification of their victims with Jesus, nor will they necessarily understand their hope for their vocation in relation to him and his community. Their participation is thus anomalous: it is hard to see the meaning of what is being done. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
It is impossible to deny that Christians and Muslims have a common agenda here: both faiths have at their heart the living image of a community raised up by God's call to reveal to the world what God's purpose is for humanity. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
A healthy human environment is one in which we try to make sense of our limits, of the accidents that can always befall us and the passage of time which inexorably changes us. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
I think there is a great deal of interest still in the Christian faith. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
It does not matter to the killers if their victims are Christian or Muslim, Hindu or Humanist what matters is that they show that they can kill where they please. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Religion has always been a matter of community building; a matter of building precisely those relations of compassion, fellow feeling and - I dare to use the word - inclusion, which would otherwise be absent from our societies. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Add a note
This is what the love of God is like: it is free and therefore it is both all-powerful and completely vulnerable. All-powerful because it is always free to overcome, but vulnerable because it has no way of guaranteeing worldly success. The love of God belongs to a different order, not the order of power, manipulation and getting on top, which is the kind of power that pre-occupies us. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
A flourishing, morally credible media is a vital component in the maintenance of genuinely public talk, argument about common good. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Only the body saves the soul. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
The question, 'How can you believe in a God who permits suffering on this scale?' is therefore very much around at the moment, and it would be surprising if it weren't - indeed it would be wrong if it weren't. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Our present ecological crisis, the biggest single practical threat to our human existence in the middle to long term, has, religious people would say, a great deal to do with our failure to think of the world as existing in relation to the mystery of God, not just as a huge warehouse of stuff to be used for our convenience. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
If there is one thing I long for above all else, it's that the years to come may see Christianity in this country able again to capture the imagination of our culture. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
What can we say about a marketing culture that so openly feeds and colludes with obsession? The Disney empire has developed this to an unprecedented degree of professionalism. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
We discover too late that we have turned a blind eye to the extinction of a species that is essential to the balance of life in a particular context. Or we discover too late that the importation of a foreign life-form, animal or vegetable, has upset local ecosystems, damaging soil or neighbouring life-forms. We discover that we have come near the end of supplies-of fossil-fuels for example -on which we have built immense structures of routine expectation. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
[Knowing God] ... call it love, yes, only that can sound too emotional, or call it faith, and that can sound too cerebral. And what is it? Both, and neither ... [its] the decision to be faithful, the patient refusal of easy gratifications ... of Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane and on the cross, that bloody crown of love and faith. That is how I learn finally of a God who will not be fitted into my catergories and expectations ... the living truth too great for me to see, trusting that He will see and judge and yet not turn me away ... That is the mercy which will never give us, or even let us be content with less than itself and less than the truth ... we have seen the truth enacted in our own world as mercy, grace and hope, as Jesus, the only-begotten, full of grace and truth.. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
A doctrine like that of the Trinity tells us that the very life of God is a yielding or giving-over into the life of an Other, a 'negation' in the sense of refusing to settle for the idea that normative life or personal identity is to be conceived in terms of self-enclosed and self-sufficient units. The negative is associated with the 'ek-static', the discovery of identity in self-transcending relation. And accordingly, theology itself has to speak in a mode that encourages us to question ourselves, to deny ourselves, in the sense of denying systems and concepts that are the comfortable possession of individual minds. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Christians should emphatically be campaigning for justice for the poor - but the Church is not a campaign. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Serving democracy and nourishing the common good is, for the media, something that requires not only attacking corrupt secrecies in a society, but also defending non-corrupt communication. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
The answer was that in Burundi, having a clean bill of health has taken on a very particular meaning: unless and until you have paid for your hospital treatment, you simply can't leave, you are in effect a captive. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
the love of God is the kind of love that identifies with the powerless; the kind of love that appeals to nothing but its own integrity, that doesn't seek to force or batter its way through. It lives, it survives, it 'wins' simply by being itself. On the cross, God's love just is what it is and it's valid and world-changing and earth-shattering, even though at that moment what it means in the world's terms is failure, terror and death. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
I do feel that federation, loose parallel processes, are less than we've got, less than we could have and, in the very long run, less than what God wants in the Church. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
The endless fights among the faithful had prompted Rowan Williams, the archbishop of Canterbury, to write that "unity is a gospel imperative when we recognize that it opens us to change, to conversion: when we realize how our life with Christ is somehow bound up with our willingness to abide with those we think are sinful, and those we think are stupid. ~ Sara Miles
Rowan Williams quotes by Sara Miles
One of the most powerful defences the media can offer for controversial actions is, of course, public interest. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
To help the poor to a capacity for action and liberty is something essential for one's own health as well as theirs: there is a needful gift they have to offer which cannot be offered so long as they are confined by poverty. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Marriage has a unique place because it speaks of an absolute faithfulness, a covenant between radically different persons, male and female; and so it echoes the absolute covenant of God with his chosen, a covenant between radically different partners. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
The past is what the present is doing now. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
To be baptized is to recover the humanity that God first intended. What did God intend? He intended that human beings should grow into such love for him and such confidence in him that they could rightly be called God's sons and daughters. Human ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Two hermits lived together for many years without a quarrel. One said to the other, "Let's have a quarrel with each other, as other men do." The other answered, "I don't know how a quarrel happens." The first said, "Look here, I put a brick between us, and I say, 'That's mine.' Then you say, 'No, it's mine.' That is how you begin a quarrel." So they put a brick between them and one of them said, "That's mine." The other said, "No, it's mine." He answered, "Yes, it's yours. Take it away." They were unable to argue with each other. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
So every creative act strives to attain an absolute status; it longs to create a world of beauty to triumph over chaos and convert it to order. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Whether something is old-fashioned or not doesn't resolve the question of whether it's true or not. I can see the temptation of simply thinking, 'Well, there's a cultural mainstream which flows neatly in one direction. You just align with it'. And that really won't do. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
We are called to show utter commitment to the God who is revealed in Jesus and to all those to whom His invitation is addressed. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
To conclude: good journalism is one of the models of good conversation and communication in the wider social context. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
The twentieth century may tell us that we have nothing to be complacent about in the recent history of humankind; but it also tells us that there is nothing inevitable about tyranny. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
St Paul, in his second letter to Corinth, spells this out further in the important eighth and ninth chapters, where he urges some of the Christian communities to be generous to others so that they may also have the chance to be generous in return. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Perhaps baptism really ought to have some health warnings attached to it: 'If you take this step, if you go into these depths, it will be transfiguring, exhilarating, life-giving and very, very dangerous.' To be baptized into Jesus is not to be in what the world thinks of as a safe place. Jesus' first disciples discovered that in the Gospels, and his disciples have gone on discovering it ever since. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Incidentally, one of the most worrying problems in the impact of Western modernity on traditional culture is that it quite rapidly communicates its own indifference or anxiety or even hostility about age and ageing. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Nobody ... likes talking about enforceable international protocols and yet unless there is a real change in attitude, we have to contemplate those very unwelcome possibilities if we want the global economy not to collapse and millions, billions, of people to die. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Bad human communication leaves us less room to grow. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Economists are coming to acknowledge that measures of national wealth and poverty in terms strictly of average income tell you little that is significant of the health or viability of a society. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
At the end of the Middle Ages, nobody would ever have expected the monasteries to vanish from the scene within a generation - yet they did. Change does happen. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Institutions develop because people put a lot of trust in them, they meet real needs, they represent important aspirations, whether it's monasteries, media, or banks, people begin by trusting these institutions, and gradually the suspicion develops that actually they're working for themselves, not for the community. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
We shall not find life by refusing to let go of our precious, protected selves. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
In sharp contrast to the idea that this stage of life is enviable, we hear high levels of anxiety about getting old, anxieties about health, mobility, access to facilities, simple routine care and attention. ~ Rowan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Rowan Williams
Rowan told me about a girl who responded to all external stimuli except human touch. That, she did not feel at all, which was the reason why from an early age other people scared her and kept getting scarier and scarier until they became almost impossible to cope with. She could see and hear her fellow human beings but making physical contact was identical to grabbing thin air. It was like living with hallucinations that would neither disappear nor become tangible. The worst part was having to pretend that this pack of ghouls was nothing to be concerned about. She quickly learned that getting upset was counterproductive because there were attempts to comfort her with hugs and the like. She said whatever she had to say and did whatever she had to say and did whatever she had to do to circumvent unnecessary physical contact, but her situation was further complicated by the effect that her touch had on others. She was walking pain relief. She didn't cure or absorb the source of pain-it was more that she dismantled the sensation itself for a few hours, or up to half a day depending the duration of skin contact. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Rowan Williams quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
We're dealing with fundamentalists ... the Amish are fundamentalists, but they don't try and hijack a carriage at needlepoint. And, if you're ever in Amish country and you see a man with his hand buried in a horse's ass, that's a mechanic. Remember that. ~ Robin Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Robin Williams
Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was breathing into you. Licking the sides and corners of your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the first kiss of the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding ~ Saul Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Saul Williams
Ultimately, I hoped the tiny-house guy was similar to me: a sane person without a big agenda, who simply wanted a way to make sense of the world, to create a new map with a big X in the middle labeled "Home," even if that meant shrinking his world down to the size of an area rug. ~ Dee Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Dee Williams
Dorian nodded his thanks. "The first time you met Aelin, did you know...?"
A snort. "No. Gods, no. We wanted to kill each other." The amusement flickered. "She was... in a very dark place. We both were. But we led each other out of it. Found a way-- together."
For a heartbeat, Dorian could only stare. As if reading his mind, Rowan said, "You'll find your way, too, Dorian. You'll find your way out. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Rowan Williams quotes by Sarah J. Maas
We may be poor, but at least we've always been honest."

Something broke inside Han, and when he opened his mouth the words came spilling out. "We're ~ Cinda Williams Chima
Rowan Williams quotes by Cinda Williams Chima
Everybody has the right to be who they choose to be. ~ Montel Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Montel Williams
I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be. ~ Venus Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Venus Williams
I started by looking at what others had done before me. You see, over the years there have been attempts by many different people to reconstruct the chariot. ~ Kit Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Kit Williams
It's like a switch, clickin' off in my head. Turns the hot light off and the cool one on, and all of a sudden there's peace. ~ Tennessee Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Tennessee Williams
To fight a war, you must believe it can accomplish something. We fight this one to save John's kingdom, or perhaps even to save all of mankind ... but isn't that what we always think? That all wars are useless - except the one we're fighting now? ~ Tad Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Tad Williams
Respect is primary. ~ Terry Tempest Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
Well, I am now convinced there is no kind of fear or anxiety anyone has to live with. ~ Ricky Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Ricky Williams
He sat in the other chair, taking advantage of the opportunity to take another good look at her. Her fawn-colored hair was sun-streaked from long days spent outdoors. Now it was done up copperhead style, the multiple braids decorated with beads and feathers. One braid per kill - wasn't that the rule? ~ Cinda Williams Chima
Rowan Williams quotes by Cinda Williams Chima
But no verse, not Stanhope's, not Shakespeare's, not Dante's could rival the original, and this was the original, and the verse was but the best translation of a certain manner of its life. The glory of poetry could not outshine the clear glory of the certain fact, and not any poetry could hold as many meanings as the fact. ~ Charles Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Charles Williams
The water is this marvellous blue. It's so blue that once you see it you realise you've never seen blue before. That other thing you were calling blue is some other colour, it's not blue. This, this is blue. It's a blue that comes down from the sky into the water so that when you look in the sea you think sky and when you look at the sky you think sea. ~ Niall Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Niall Williams
My experience over 17 years playing with the Yankees, these are a few of the things that I've learned. You've got to have a plan of action, You have to stay focused on the things you can control, and don't get discouraged or distracted by the things you cannot control. ~ Bernie Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Bernie Williams
What am I supposed to say after I fuck you, Aubrey? ~ Whitney Gracia Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Whitney Gracia Williams
Being a Sith was not just about feeling hatred and anger; it was finding a way to focus those feelings toward the attainment of mastery. ~ Sean Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Sean Williams
Why was this bloody world created?"
"As a sewer for the stars," a voice in front of him said. "Alternatively to know God and to glorify Him forever."
" [ ... ] The two answers are not, of course, necessarily alternative. ~ Charles Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Charles Williams
Mam drove the same way she walked, freestyle, also known as bumpily. She didn't really go in for right- and left-hand lanes, which was fine this side of Faha where the road is cart-wide and Mohawked with a raised rib of grass and when two cars meet there is no hope of passing, someone has to throw back a left arm and reverse to the nearest gap or gate, which Faha folks do brilliantly, flooring the accelerator and racing in soft zigzag to where they have just been, defeating time and space both and making a nonsense of past and present, here and there. As any student of Irish history ancient and recent will know, we are a nation of magnificent reversers. ~ Niall Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Niall Williams
...most writers, and most other artists, too, are primarily motivated in their desperate vocation by a desire to find and to separate truth from the complex of lies and evasions they live in, and I think that this impulse is what makes their work not so much a profession as a vocation, a true calling. ~ Tennessee Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Tennessee Williams
He didn't say a word, but those eyes shouted it all. I could read the words in them like a page from a book. I want you. I miss you. I need you. I fucking love you. ~ Shanora Williams, 100 Proof
Rowan Williams quotes by Shanora Williams, 100 Proof
The program is already funded. Everything is in place. ~ Kenneth Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Kenneth Williams
I can see it now: Osama bin Laden goes up to the pearly gates where George Washington comes out, starts beating him and is then joined by 70 other members of the Continental Congress. Osama will say, Hey, wait! Where are my 71 virgins? And George will reply It's 71 Virginians, you asshole! ~ Robin Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Robin Williams
When you're obsessing about one thing, you can reach insights about how to solve hard problems. If you have too many things to think about, you'll get to the superficial solution, not the brilliant one. ~ Evan Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Evan Williams
Government income redistribution programs produce the same result as theft. In fact, that's what a thief does; he redistributes income. The difference between government and thievery is mostly a matter of legality. ~ Walter E. Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Walter E. Williams
I'm a fan boy when it comes to Michael Buble. He's just so good at 'it'. He's got a voice of this generation, but he's like a time capsule; he's got a voice that could have fit in anywhere over the last hundred years. It's stellar. ~ Robbie Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Robbie Williams
There was something else that [Christopher] Reeve told me privately, off camera, and it made me grin. While he was lying in the hospital, just becoming conscious with tubes connected to all parts of his body, a doctor in a white coat came in and with a Russian accent, commanded: "Turn over!"
Are you nuts? Reeve thought.
I said: 'Turn over!'" the doctor repeated.
As Reeve was about to answer "the imbecile", he realized there was something familiar about the man in the white coat. He wasn't a doctor at all. He was Reeve's old buddy from acting school at Julliard, Robin Williams. Reeve waited for a breath, and almost choked with laughter. He realized, he told me, "If I can laugh, I can live. ~ Barbara Walters
Rowan Williams quotes by Barbara Walters
When I first saw you tonight," he lowered his voice and whispered in my ear, "I wanted to drag you out of here, drive you home, and fuck you in every room of my house for the rest of the weekend. ~ Whitney Gracia Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Whitney Gracia Williams
The crucial question for any policy is not what, are its intentions, but what are its effects? ~ Walter E. Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Walter E. Williams
In Utah alone, ten million acres are open for business. Their policy is not about the public or the public's best interest. It is about the oil and gas corporations' best interests. ~ Terry Tempest Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
That's nice, isn't it?" Edith said. "That little kid is so trusting it's kind of holy, but if his trust were misplaced it would really be holy. ~ Joy Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Joy Williams
The tricky or boastful gods of ancient myths and primitive folk tales are characters of the same kind that turn up in Faulkner or Tennessee Williams. ~ Northrop Frye
Rowan Williams quotes by Northrop Frye
I have come to believe that in the life of every man, late or soon, there is a moment when he knows beyond whatever else he might understand, and whether he can articulate the knowledge or not, the terrifying fact that he is alone, and separate, and that he can be no other than the poor thing that is himself. (from Augustus's diary) ~ John Edward Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by John Edward Williams
Stories don't always reflect the world; they make it, too. A book is a world inside the world, and sometimes there are worlds within that. ~ Liz Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Liz Williams
The improv, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but when it does, it's like open-field running. ~ Robin Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Robin Williams
She, the first-born daughter of water, faced
darkness and smiled. Took mystery as her
lover and raised light as her child. Man that
shit was wild. You should have seen how
they ran. She woke up in an alley with a gun
in her hand. Tupac in lotus form, Ennis' blood
on his hands. ~ Saul Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Saul Williams
Perhaps the human race had yet to be born. Perhaps it was all a deception by the government. It hadn't happened yet. This life was nothing but the womb. ~ Joy Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Joy Williams
I am obsessed with kale. I make kale salads and kale chips, and I think it's so yummy. ~ Kimberly Williams-Paisley
Rowan Williams quotes by Kimberly Williams-Paisley
There was no fair way to compare what had been with what might have been. He just had to find a way forward. ~ Cinda Williams Chima
Rowan Williams quotes by Cinda Williams Chima
It is, perhaps more than anything else, the arrest of time which has taken place in a completed work of art that gives certain plays their feeling of depth and significance. ~ Tennessee Williams
Rowan Williams quotes by Tennessee Williams
