The air is so crisp it gives me a brief, delusive sense of health and youth.
those I don't have but I have learned not to scorn the substitutes: quiet, plenty of time, and a job to spend it on. ~ Wallace Stegner
Substitutes quotes by Wallace Stegner
Perhaps the most serious obstacle impeding the evolution of a land ethic is the fact that our educational and economic system is headed away from, rather than toward, an intense consciousness of land. Your true modern is separated from the land by many middlemen, and by innumerable physical gadgets. He has no vital relation to it; to him it is the space between cities on which crops grow. Turn him loose for a day on the land, and if the spot does not happen to be a golf links or a "scenic" area, he is bored stiff. If crops could be raised by hydroponics instead of farming, it would suit him very well. Synthetic substitutes for wood, leather, wool, and other natural land products suit him better than the originals. In short, land is something he has "outgrown ~ Aldo Leopold
Substitutes quotes by Aldo Leopold
Every sensible man, every honest man, must hold the Christian sect in horror. But what shall we substitute in its place? you say. What? A ferocious animal has sucked the blood of my relatives. I tell you to rid yourselves of this beast, and you ask me what you shall put in its place ? ~ Voltaire
Substitutes quotes by Voltaire
My prescription for women entering the war zone of the professions: study football ... Women who want to remake the future should look for guidance not to substitute parent figures but to the brash assertions of pagan sport. ~ Camille Paglia
Substitutes quotes by Camille Paglia
Want of passion is, I think, a very striking characteristic of Americans, not unrelated to their predilection for violence. For very few people truly have a passionate desire to achieve, and violence serves as a kind of substitute. ~ Marguerite Yourcenar
Substitutes quotes by Marguerite Yourcenar
If there ever were one moment where everything worked for us, where we lived in harmony and at ease with our natures, then we would still be there. There is no garden to return to, no idyllic perfect childhood, no enwombed state. The Garden of Eden was boring, childhood is a nightmare we should all be grateful to be done with, and your mother smoked while she was pregnant and poisoned you in the womb with artificial sugar substitutes. The best thing any of us can do is just to keep fucking up in a forward motion, and see what comes out of it. ~ Jessa Crispin
Substitutes quotes by Jessa Crispin
Formatting is no substitute for writing. ~ Leslie Lamport
Substitutes quotes by Leslie Lamport
Patriotism is no substitute for a sound currency. ~ Grover Cleveland
Substitutes quotes by Grover Cleveland
The hills and valleys of Heaven will be to those you now experience not as a copy is to an original, nor as the substitute is to the genuine article, but as the flower to the root, or the diamond to the coal. ~ C.S. Lewis
Substitutes quotes by C.S. Lewis
No rules, however wise, are a substitute for affection and tact. ~ Bertrand Russell
Substitutes quotes by Bertrand Russell
Platitudes are poor substitutes for emotions, this negative space hollowed out and without words. I know the shape of you and it has no name. I know the sound of you and the smell of you and the touch and sight and taste of you. But language departed the same day you did, leaving my mouth empty. ~ Tania De Rozario
Substitutes quotes by Tania De Rozario
The number of substitutes for fine and clean thinking the world provides positively gnaws at one's vitals. ~ Harold Laski
Substitutes quotes by Harold Laski
I have struggled against tyranny. I didn't do that in order to substitute another. ~ Desmond Tutu
Substitutes quotes by Desmond Tutu
Commending a right thing is a cheap substitute for doing it, with which we are too apt to satisfy ourselves. ~ Hannah More
Substitutes quotes by Hannah More
Chivalry is a poor substitute for justice, if one cannot have both. Chivalry is something like the icing on the cake, sweet but not nourishing. ~ Nellie L. McClung
Substitutes quotes by Nellie L. McClung
Drugs, cataplasms, and whiskey are stupid substitutes for the dignity and potency of divine mind and its efficacy to heal. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
Substitutes quotes by Mary Baker Eddy
Clearly, Enlightenment thinkers were seeking a God substitute. ~ Nancy Pearcey
Substitutes quotes by Nancy Pearcey
Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect. ~ Eric Hoffer
Substitutes quotes by Eric Hoffer
Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy. ~ Leonard Ravenhill
Substitutes quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
Buy potatoes," he said. "Gotta hop." Then he hung up. Of course. A cloud of fallout would threaten European food and water supplies, including the potato crop, placing a premium on uncontaminated American substitutes. Perhaps a few folks other than potato farmers think of the price of potatoes in America minutes after the explosion of a nuclear reactor in Russian, but I have never met them. ~ Michael Lewis
Substitutes quotes by Michael Lewis
It's a longing, an aching to complete ourselves, to unite with that which makes us whole. We are longing for God the way a soldier longs for his wife faraway. It a relentless homesickness that, however desperately we try, will accept no substitutes. ~ Arianna Huffington
Substitutes quotes by Arianna Huffington
You can go through life and make new friends every year - every month practically - but there was never any substitute for those friendships of childhood that survive into adult years. Those are the ones in which we are bound to one another with hoops of steel. ~ Alexander McCall Smith
Substitutes quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
I am convinced that the deepest desire within each of us is to be liberated from the controlling influences of our own psychic madness or patterns of fear. All other things - the disdain of ordinary life, the need to control others rather than be controlled, the craving for material goods as a means of security and protection against the winds of chaos - are external props that serve as substitutes for the real battle, which is the one waged within the individual soul. ~ Caroline Myss
Substitutes quotes by Caroline Myss
A fundamentalist is someone who wants to substitute what he believes for what you believe," Max said. "And someone who thinks he knows the will of God better than anyone else. ~ Robin Wasserman
Substitutes quotes by Robin Wasserman
Human beings cannot endure emptiness and desolation; they will fill the vacuum by creating a new focus of meaning. The idols of fundamentalism are not good substitutes for God; if we are to create a vibrant new faith for the twenty-first century, we should, perhaps, ponder the history of God for some lessons and warnings. ~ Karen Armstrong
Substitutes quotes by Karen Armstrong
Patrick Carnes wrote an apt description of the addict's behavior: "The addict substitutes a sick relationship to an event or a process for a healthy relationship with others. The addict's relationship with a mood-altering experience becomes central to his life" (Carnes 2001, 14). ~ George Collins
Substitutes quotes by George Collins
As students, we have all known two types of teachers, the pedantic and the inspiring. The former have a definite method and operate according to well-established habits; the latter need neither, because they know the subject through and through, Indeed, we may say that teaching methods, which generate subjective habits, are but poor substitutes for the kind of objective intimacy with the subject matter to be taught, which we call 'habitus ~ Yves Simon
Substitutes quotes by Yves Simon
Somehow, married or single, we'd rather anesthetize ourselves with love substitutes than go for the real thing, because let's face it: The real thing is pretty scary. ~ Tracy McMillan
Substitutes quotes by Tracy McMillan
In the context of loss, each child is an only to her or his parents. Human relationships do not fill in for, do not substitute for, do not replace each other. ~ Marcia Falk
Substitutes quotes by Marcia Falk
Grovelling is not a substitute for doing your homework. ~ Eric S. Raymond
Substitutes quotes by Eric S. Raymond
She sits in her usual ample armchair, with piles of books and unopened magazines around her. She sips cautiously from the mug of weak herb tea which is now her substitute for coffee. At one time she thought that she could not live without coffee, but it turned out that it is really the warm large mug she wants in her hands, that is the aid to thought or whatever it is she practices through the procession of hours, or of days. ~ Alice Munro
Substitutes quotes by Alice Munro
Only professional diplomats, inveterate idiots and women view diplomacy as a long-term substitute for war. ~ David Mitchell
Substitutes quotes by David Mitchell
I think that, every time you saw the word EBITDA, you should substitute the word "bullshit" earnings. ~ Charlie Munger
Substitutes quotes by Charlie Munger
The creative conquest of space will serve as a wonderful substitute for war. ~ James Smith McDonnell
Substitutes quotes by James Smith McDonnell
There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all its virtues are of no avail. ~ Aldous Huxley
Substitutes quotes by Aldous Huxley
Information is a substitute for time, space, capital, and labor. ~ Alvin Toffler
Substitutes quotes by Alvin Toffler
You can easily substitute the intellect for true devotion. Devotion comes from the heart, and from the will. The intellect, you can cerebrally answer things, but you make a big mistake when that happens. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Substitutes quotes by Ravi Zacharias
I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will - and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain. ~ Gene Roddenberry
Substitutes quotes by Gene Roddenberry
We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the "blocking" techniques, the outright prohibitions, the "no's" and go heavy on "substitution" techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions. ~ Selma Fraiberg
Substitutes quotes by Selma Fraiberg
The Booker thing was a catalyst for me in a bizarre way. It's perceived as an accolade to be published as a 'literary' writer, but, actually, it's pompous and it's fake. Literary fiction is often nothing more than a genre in itself. I'd always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s, as substitutes for experience. ~ Neil Cross
Substitutes quotes by Neil Cross
We may as well face it: the whole level of spirituality among us is low. We have measured ourselves by ourselves until the incentive to seek higher plateaus in the things of the Spirit is all but gone (We) have imitated the world, sought popular favor, manufactured delights to substitute for the joy of the Lord and produced a cheap and synthetic power to substitute for the power of the Holy Ghost. ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
Substitutes quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
What do soy beans and vibrators have in common? They're both meat substitutes. ~ Supervert
Substitutes quotes by Supervert
To do well those thing which God ordained to be the common lot of all man-kind, is the truest greatness. To be a successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful general or a successful statesman ...
We should never be discouraged in those daily tasks which God has ordained to the common lot of man ...
Let us not be trying to substitute an artificial life for the true one. ~ Joseph Fielding Smith
Substitutes quotes by Joseph Fielding Smith
Personal virtue is no substitute for political hard-headedness. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Substitutes quotes by Margaret Thatcher
We were impelled to remain loyal for a while to the memory of Penny. It was a form of the old fashioned custom of going into mourning. It is not a question of going around with a long face. It is just a question of having a pause between the old and the new. No haste to find a substitute for the one who has given you love for years. Wait, and let fate provide the answer. ~ Derek Tangye
Substitutes quotes by Derek Tangye
Over the years, they had destroyed all of him, removing hands, arms, and legs and leaving him with substitutes as delicate and useless as chess pieces. And now they were tampering with something more intangible
the memory; they were trying to cut the wires which led back into another year. ~ Ray Bradbury
Substitutes quotes by Ray Bradbury
Television [is] a high-impact medium. It does some things no other force can do-transmitting electronic pictures through the air. Still, as an explored, comprehensive medium, it is not a substitute for print. ~ Walter Cronkite
Substitutes quotes by Walter Cronkite
There's no substitute for work. There are no shortcuts. There are no secrets. ~ Al Oerter
Substitutes quotes by Al Oerter
I work out of silence, because silence makes up for my actual lack of working space. Silence substitutes for actual space, for psychological distance, for a sense of privacy and intactness. In this sense silence is absolutely necessary. ~ Radka Donnell
Substitutes quotes by Radka Donnell
Nothing so tends to mask the face of God as religion; it can be a substitute for God himself. ~ Martin Buber
Substitutes quotes by Martin Buber
Make your copy straightforward to read, understand and use. Use easy words; those that are used for everyday speech. Use phrases that are not too imprecise and very understandable. Do not be too stuffy; remove pompous words and substitute them with plain words. Minimize complicated gimmicks and constructions. If you can't give the data directly and briefly, you must consider writing the copy again. ~ Jay Abraham
Substitutes quotes by Jay Abraham
You can't just keep grabbing at me every time you see me. It's not a substitute for actually talking. ~ Cassandra Clare
Substitutes quotes by Cassandra Clare
But this is not a book about robots. Rather, it is about how we are changed as technology offers us substitutes for connecting with each other face-to-face. ~ Sherry Turkle
Substitutes quotes by Sherry Turkle
The experience of the past lives little doubt that every economic system must sooner or later rely upon some form of the profit motive to stir individuals and groups to productivity. Substitutes like slavery, police supervision, or ideological enthusiasm prove too unproductive, too expensive, or too transient. ~ Will Durant
Substitutes quotes by Will Durant
It is easy to substitute our will for that of the child by means of suggestion or coercion; but when we have done this we have robbed him of his greatest right, the right to construct his own personality. ~ Maria Montessori
Substitutes quotes by Maria Montessori
The multitudinous substitutes for indigenous culture cannot grow. Having no roots, they can only age and decay. Studious, sincere youth retires, defeated. American youth, capable of becoming serious competent artists, under such pressure as this on every side, confused, try not to give up
or "fall in line." This is the nature of about all that can be called American education in the arts and architecture at this time. As for religion true to the teaching of the great redeemer who said "The Kingdom of God is within you"
that religion is yet to come: the concept true not only for the new reality of building but for the faith we call democracy. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
Substitutes quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
If all issues are personalized, we lose our capacity to entertain ideas, to generalize from our own or someone else's experiences, to think abstractly. We substitute sentimentality for thought. ~ Wendy Kaminer
Substitutes quotes by Wendy Kaminer
As I get older ... I become more convinced that good government is not a substitute for self-government. ~ Dwight Morrow
Substitutes quotes by Dwight Morrow
It is in a home and with a family that values are usually acquired, traditions are fostered, and commitments to others are established. There are really no adequate substitutes for home and family. ~ James E. Faust
Substitutes quotes by James E. Faust
I am full of admiration for the technologists who have developed all sorts of gadgets for the purpose of improving communications. However, I believe that all these fascinating machines are complementary to, and not substitutes for, books and the printed word. ~ Prince Philip
Substitutes quotes by Prince Philip
Now, with the glamour of the past upon them we are inclined to look back on old world festivities with regret and consider present day dances as a poor substitute for the old. From an artistic point of view, they maybe, but in individual freedom and independence of spirit they mark a stage upward. ~ Flora Thompson
Substitutes quotes by Flora Thompson
There can be no substitute for work, neither affection nor physical well-being can replace it. ~ Maria Montessori
Substitutes quotes by Maria Montessori
Absence of noise is not a natural condition; all human senses require some input. If they are deprived of it, the mind manufactures its own substitutes. ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Substitutes quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity.
Other desires are substitutes
for that way of being. ~ Rumi
Substitutes quotes by Rumi
Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
Substitutes quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of the law for the virtues of men ~ Calvin Coolidge
Substitutes quotes by Calvin Coolidge
By now the night tastes of nothing but ash. But nicotine substitutes for food, nicotine substitutes for sleep, and there is so little time left for the future, once all the demands of the present are taken care of. ~ Francis Spufford
Substitutes quotes by Francis Spufford
Prayer is not a vain attempt to change God's will; it is a filial desire to learn God's will and to share it. Prayer is not a substitute for work: it is the secret spring and indispensable ally of all true work. ~ George Arthur Buttrick
Substitutes quotes by George Arthur Buttrick
The "brightness" of the 15 percent might or might not indicate a profound feeling for the causes of things; it is largely verbal and symbol-manipulating, and is almost certainly partly an obsessional device not to know and touch risky matter, just as Freud long ago pointed out that the nagging questions of small children are a substitute for asking the forbidden questions. ~ Paul Goodman
Substitutes quotes by Paul Goodman
Knowledge of yoga is no substitute for practice. ~ B.K.S. Iyengar
Substitutes quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
We need to substitute for the book a device that will make it easy to transmit information without transporting material. ~ J. C. R. Licklider
Substitutes quotes by J. C. R. Licklider
A journal takes the place of a confidant, that is, of friend or wife; it becomes a substitute for production, a substitute for country and public. It is a grief-cheating device, a mode of escape and withdrawal; but, factotum as it is, though it takes the place of everything, properly speaking it represents nothing at all ... ~ Henri Frederic Amiel
Substitutes quotes by Henri Frederic Amiel
There are so many mistakes you can learn only by making them yourself. There is no substitute for experience. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Substitutes quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
He'd told her how orphaned birds would sometimes accept the most pathetic substitutes for their mothers - a pullover, a hot-water bottle, an armpit, or even a paper airplane - anything rather than nothing, but preferably something that moved. ~ Julia Gregson
Substitutes quotes by Julia Gregson
Best, I'd advise, to give up all animal products obtained by cruel methods. There are some fine companies nowadays offering leather substitutes. ~ Matthew Scully
Substitutes quotes by Matthew Scully
Because one must produce,
one must by all possible means of activity replace nature wherever it can be replaced,
one must find a major field of action for human inertia,
the worker must have something to keep him busy,
new fields of activity must be created,
in which we shall see at last the reign
of all the fake manufactured products,
of all the vile synthetic substitutes
in which beautiful real nature has no part,
and must give way finally and shamefully
before all the victorious
substitute products
in which the sperm
of all the artificial insemination factories
will make a miracle
in order to produce armies and battleships.

No more fruit, no more trees, no more vegetables, no more plants pharmaceutical or otherwise
and consequently no more food,
but synthetic products to satiety,
amid the fumes,
amid the special humors of the atmosphere,
on the particular axes of atmospheres wrenched violently and synthetically from the resistances of a nature which has known nothing of war except fear.

And war is wonderful, isn't it?
For it's war, isn't it, that the Americans have been preparing for
and are preparing for this way step by step.
In order to defend this senseless manufacture from all competition
that could not fail to arise on all sides,
one must have soldiers, armies, airplanes, battleships,
hence this sperm
w ~ Antonin Artaud
Substitutes quotes by Antonin Artaud
There's no question that O.J. Simpson had been a substitute white man in America. He had gained honorary white status. He was not viewed by many white Americans as black. He was not seen as the African American athlete who was rebellious: Jim Brown, Muhammad Ali, Hank Aaron ... He was accepted in golf clubs that were very tony. ~ Michael Eric Dyson
Substitutes quotes by Michael Eric Dyson
The unnatural ways we substitute for the natural prove not enough and soon there must be more and more unnaturalness, more and more violence. ~ Lucy Freeman
Substitutes quotes by Lucy Freeman
Risk is just an expensive substitute for information. ~ Adrian Slywotzky
Substitutes quotes by Adrian Slywotzky
Organisation can never be a substitute for initiative and for judgement. ~ Louis D. Brandeis
Substitutes quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
She had a pretty gift for quotation, which is a serviceable substitute for wit. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Substitutes quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Being informed is different from being formed, and the first is a common substitute for the second. ~ Richard Rohr
Substitutes quotes by Richard Rohr
In fact, marijuana lowers your stress level and lowers your body temperature. It actually seems that people live longer if they use it. If you substitute marijuana for tobacco and alcohol, you'll add 24 years to your life. ~ Jack Herer
Substitutes quotes by Jack Herer
The sole substitute for an experience we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Substitutes quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
This is about objects, not motifs. The photo is only a substitute for an object; it is unsuitable as a picture in its customary sense. ~ Bernd Becher
Substitutes quotes by Bernd Becher
I'm thrilled that Alice Medrich, one of America's premier bakers, has embraced teff, buckwheat, oat, and rice flours. She understands that these flours are far more than substitutes for wheat flour. These flavor flours are stars on their own, full of character. Her recipes are sure to entice you to move into the kitchen and start baking. ~ Shauna James Ahern
Substitutes quotes by Shauna James Ahern
What do dogs want? They want each other. Human beings are merely a cynomorphic substitute ... ~ Elizabeth Marshall Thomas
Substitutes quotes by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas
The cinema substitutes for our gaze a world more in harmony with our desires. ~ Jean-Luc Godard
Substitutes quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action ~ Mae West
Substitutes quotes by Mae West
Nothing substitutes for positive thinking. Nothing. It is more powerful than all the money, all the influence, all the 'friends in high places' on earth. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Substitutes quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
Brains are no substitute for judgement. ~ Dean Acheson
Substitutes quotes by Dean Acheson
Designers of electronic charting systems don't seem to understand that checklists themselves are not the innovation, because checklists are not substitutes for care. The real innovation is having staff use lists to consistently create the safest and highest-quality clinical environment possible. ~ Theresa Brown
Substitutes quotes by Theresa Brown
The things we think we want are often substitutes for what we really want, and the pleasures we seek are less than the joy that they distract us from. ~ Charles Eisenstein
Substitutes quotes by Charles Eisenstein
Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves. ~ Eric Hoffer
Substitutes quotes by Eric Hoffer
The art of not experiencing feelings. A child can experience her feelings only when there is somebody there who accepts her fully, understands her, and supports her. If that person is missing, if the child must risk losing the mother's love of her substitute in order to feel, then she will repress emotions. ~ Alice Miller
Substitutes quotes by Alice Miller
The great masses of people do not consist of philosophers; precisely for the masses, faith is often the sole foundation of a moral attitude. The various substitutes have not proved so successful from the standpoint of results that they could be regarded as a useful replacement for previous religious creeds. But if religious doctrine and faith are really to embrace the broad masses, the unconditional authority of the content of this faith is the foundation of all efficacy. ~ Adolf Hitler
Substitutes quotes by Adolf Hitler
In America, law substitutes for custom. ~ Paula Gunn Allen
Substitutes quotes by Paula Gunn Allen
There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
Substitutes quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
A reporter called on Edison to interview him about a substitute for lead in the manufacture of storage batteries that the scientist was seeking. Edison informed the man that he had made 20,000 experiments but none had worked. "Aren't you discouraged by all this waste of effort?" the reporter asked. Edison: "Waste! There's nothing wasted. I have discovered 20,000 things that won't work." ~ Thomas A. Edison
Substitutes quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Intercession means that we deliberately substitute God's interests in others for our natural sympathy with them. ~ Oswald Chambers
Substitutes quotes by Oswald Chambers
