I was asked, "How can we change the world?" And I answered, "You will never be able to change the world by projecting ideal images to aspire for. The only way to change the world is to penetrate the grassroots, to penetrate at the groundbreaking level - to be a mason - to dig into the core where all the tar and lumpy mud is located and to work with that shit until you bring out something beautiful. We change the world by dressing wounds, by listening to forgotten voices of the lost, by getting our hands dirty. Nobody is going to be able to change the world by painting a lovely picture. You have to know how to make paint. Then teach the people how to use a paintbrush. Then teach the people how to make strokes, how to wash the paintbrush, and how to mount their own paintings onto the wall. Because the alchemy of the world, of humanity as a whole, is really just the collective alchemy of every individual. Take what is darkness and transmutate it into a shining thing. Changing the world is never about the changer; it is about the world. ~ C. JoyBell C.
World Alchemy quotes by C. JoyBell C.
Entering a library, I am always stuck by the way in which a certain vision of the world is imposed upon the reader through its categories and its order. ~ Alberto Manguel
World Alchemy quotes by Alberto Manguel
We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view. A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both conquered and exterminated at the same time. ~ Albert Pike
World Alchemy quotes by Albert Pike
Jane Austen's world is a unique wedge of history, immortalized by her wonderful books. It is ironic that I am fascinated by the Regency world in all its details, when Jane Austen seldom mentions any of those facts. She never mentions the war raging in Europe, her characters are apparently unaware of the industrialization shortly to overtake them. The revolution of steam travel does not touch her people–they travel by coach, horse, and foot." and "There is no doubt that Austen herself was aware of the world around her and its imminent change. But her characters live in the world of the family, the village and the heart–and are loved because of it. The trappings of the greater world do not impinge on Jane Austen's books. ~ Lesley-Anne McLeod
World Alchemy quotes by Lesley-Anne McLeod
If the situation could be rectified by complaining, today the world would have been a very beautiful place. ~ Nitin Namdeo
World Alchemy quotes by Nitin Namdeo
Mme. Deluzy has said that indifference is a woman's guardian angel,
a remark not only applicable in France, but all over the world. ~ Anna Cora Mowatt
World Alchemy quotes by Anna Cora Mowatt
Being human in a world with no tolerance for humanity felt like a setup, a game I couldn't win. But instead of understanding that there might be something wrong with the world, I decided there was something wrong with me. ~ Glennon Doyle Melton
World Alchemy quotes by Glennon Doyle Melton
Three's all you need to change the world. Look at the Bolsheviks, or the Jimi Hendrix Experience. ~ Garth Risk Hallberg
World Alchemy quotes by Garth Risk Hallberg
Learn to read and a whole new world will open up to you. ~ O.E. Boroni
World Alchemy quotes by O.E. Boroni
How is it that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language that is not made up of words & everything in this world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything & it can always speak, without making a sound, to another soul. ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
World Alchemy quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It's like expanding its territory. ~ Tom Rachman
World Alchemy quotes by Tom Rachman
Whats it like, to be in love? The servants speak of it when they think I can't hear. I only wonder."
Lia turned around and tossed the cushion back to the chaise lounge. She found she didn't have an answer to Mari's question. She couldn't say what she'd heard her sisters always say, It's thrilling, or It's bliss, or He makes me so happy. She raised her head and swallowed the strangeness in her throat, walking to the fireplace, to the pianoforte, pressing a finger against the honey-buffed wood.
"It is," she said at last, "the most terrible feeling in the entire world."
And she meant it.
"Yes," the girl agreed, examining her face. "I think it must be. ~ Shana Abe
World Alchemy quotes by Shana Abe
The idea that the rest of the world was somehow being held hostage by the Arab-Israeli conflict once had a minimal basis in reality. In the first 20 years of Israel's existence, every Arab country was in an active state of war with the Jewish state. ~ John Podhoretz
World Alchemy quotes by John Podhoretz
Henceforward, I shout to the heavens, I shall deliver no more lectures on behalf of good causes: I am the good cause that denies the need for such lectures. Avaunt, importuning world! Back to my cell. ~ Lewis Mumford
World Alchemy quotes by Lewis Mumford
The world has narrowed to these dimensions, ~ Charles Dickens
World Alchemy quotes by Charles Dickens
There's some ambient music that doesn't do anything. I wouldn't say that that's narrative. It is narrative in that it creates a sort of world where nothing happens, where really nothing happens, so you become a different person after hearing eight minutes of exactly the same thing. Yes, I hear music all the time in which one idea is strung together to another idea, and I feel that such music is non-narrative. ~ Missy Mazzoli
World Alchemy quotes by Missy Mazzoli
Though we live in a world that dreams of ending that always seems about to give in something that will not acknowledge conclusion insists that we forever begin. ~ Brendan Kennelly
World Alchemy quotes by Brendan Kennelly
No longer is the female destined solely for the home and the rearing of the family and only the male for the marketplace and the world of ideas. ~ William J. Brennan Jr.
World Alchemy quotes by William J. Brennan Jr.
Men are not put into this world to go the path of ease, they are put into this world to go the path of pain and struggle. ~ Woodrow Wilson
World Alchemy quotes by Woodrow Wilson
We adore chaos because we love to produce order. ~ M.C. Escher
World Alchemy quotes by M.C. Escher
The world, and therefore the workplace, is full of idiots. And the reality of life is that when you get rid of one idiot, another will show up to take his place. It's the curse of humanity. ~ Larry Winget
World Alchemy quotes by Larry Winget
Fishing provides time to think, and reason not to. If you have the virtue of patience, an hour or two of casting alone is plenty of time to review all you've learned about the grand themes of life. It's time enough to realize that every generalization stands opposed by a mosaic of exceptions, and that the biggest truths are few indeed. Meanwhile, you feel the wind shift and the temperature change. You might simply decide to be present, and observe a few facts about the drifting clouds ... Fishing in a place is a meditation on the rhythm of a tide, a season, the arc of a year, and the seasons of life ... I fish to scratch the surface of those mysteries, for nearness to the beautiful, and to reassure myself the world remains. I fish to wash off some of my grief for the peace we so squander. I fish to dip into that great and awesome pool of power that propels these epic migrations. I fish to feel- and steal- a little of that energy. ~ Carl Safina
World Alchemy quotes by Carl Safina
Sometimes we think a person doesn't need to hear something because it's obvious, because they know what's in our hearts. But that's not how the world works. We have to say the things. ~ Alisha Rai
World Alchemy quotes by Alisha Rai
It is only in marriage with the world that our ideals can bear fruit; divorced from it, they remain barren. ~ Bertrand Russell
World Alchemy quotes by Bertrand Russell
It didn't even occur to me that I'm the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music. ~ David Byrne
World Alchemy quotes by David Byrne
Some men and women aren't looking for money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. They simply want to watch the world burn.
Michael Caine's character 'Alfred' in the Batman movie, "The Dark Knight ~ Michael Caine’s Character ‘Alfred’ In The Batman Movie, “The Dark Knight’
World Alchemy quotes by Michael Caine’s Character ‘Alfred’ In The Batman Movie, “The Dark Knight’
Smiling wistfully at the thought of her beloved sister, Daisy felt a wave of loneliness sweep over her. She and Lillian had always been together, arguing, laughing, getting each other into scrapes, and rescuing each other whenever possible. Naturally she was happy that Lillian had met her perfect match in the strong-willed Westcliff... but that didn't stop Daisy from missing her terribly. And now that the other wallflowers, including Evie, had found husbands, they were part of the mysterious married world that Daisy was still excluded from. She was going to have to find a husband soon. Some nice, sincere gentleman who would share her love of books. A man who wore spectacles, and liked dogs and children. ~ Lisa Kleypas
World Alchemy quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Sunglasses are best invention of this world
They hide eyes,which speak more then words ~ Mohammed Zaki Ansari
World Alchemy quotes by Mohammed Zaki Ansari
(Actually, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world and those who are smart enough to know better. ~ Tom Robbins
World Alchemy quotes by Tom Robbins
I'm the biggest slob in the world. My apartment is a mess. ~ Monica Keena
World Alchemy quotes by Monica Keena
You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose. ~ Rhonda Byrne
World Alchemy quotes by Rhonda Byrne
Mr. Wonderful was probably taking his sweet time, right?"
"No, it was actually my fault this morning. I was busy with…paperwork."
"Oh. Well, that's alright. Don't worry about it. What kind of paperwork?"
He smiled. "Nothing important."
Mr. Kadam held the door for me, and we walked out into an empty hallway. I was just starting to relax at the elevator doors when I heard a hotel room door close. Ren walked down the hall toward us. He'd purchased new clothes. Of course, he looked wonderful. I took a step back from the elevator and tried to avoid eye contact.
Ren wore a brand new pair of dark-indigo, purposely faded, urban-destruction designer jeans. His shirt was long-sleeved, buttoned-down, crisp, oxford-style and was obviously of high quality. It was blue with thin white stripes that matched is eyes perfectly. He'd rolled up the sleeves and left his shirt untucked and open at the collar. It was also an athletic cut, so it fit tightly to his muscular torso, which made me suck in an involuntary breath in appreciation of his male splendor.
He looks like a runway model. How in the world am I going to be able to reject that? The world is so unfair. Seriously, it's like turning Brad Pitt down for a date. The girl who could actually do it should win an award for idiot of the century.
I again quickly ran through my list of reasons for not being with Ren and said a few "He's not for me's." The good thing about seeing his mouthwatering self and watchi ~ Colleen Houck
World Alchemy quotes by Colleen Houck
We were all trapped in stories, she said, just as he used to say, his wavy hair, his naughty smile, his beautiful mind, each of us the prisoner of our own solipsistic narrative, each family the captive of the family story, each community locked within its own tale of itself, each people the victims of their own versions of history, and there were parts of the world where the narratives collided and went to war, where there were two or more incompatible stories fighting for space on, to speak, the same page. ~ Salman Rushdie
World Alchemy quotes by Salman Rushdie
Edward didn't know what he was thinking, asking her about marriage. He wasn't a damned viscount. He refused to be one. And whatever odd flutterings he may have felt in her presence, whatever odd imaginings he had harbored, he wasn't going to marry her.
And yet ... It was tempting, too. While he hadn't been paying attention, his mind had constructed a might-have-been, a world where he'd never been cast out, where he'd never had to make his heart as black and hard as coal. If he'd been Edward Delacey, he might have courted her in his own right. Edward Delacey, dead fool that he was, could have had the one thing that Edward Clark never would. ~ Courtney Milan
World Alchemy quotes by Courtney Milan
It (broadcast journalism) is a brutal arena where the knives are sharp and the toughest Kevlar vest in the world will not protect you forever. ~ Bill O'Reilly
World Alchemy quotes by Bill O'Reilly
Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and other dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner. ~ Neil Gaiman
World Alchemy quotes by Neil Gaiman
The only way to become whole is to put our arms lovingly around -everything- we know ourselves to be: self-serving and generous, spiteful and compassionate, cowardly and courageous, treacherous and trustworthy. We must be able to say to ourselves and to the world at large, "I am -all- of the above." If we can't embrace the whole of who we are--embrace it with transformative love--we'll imprison the creative energies hidden in our own shadows and be unable to engage creatively with the world's complex mix of shadow and light. ~ Parker J. Palmer
World Alchemy quotes by Parker J. Palmer
You sell your happiness for peanuts! You sell your smile for pennies! I tell you, it's not worth it. The entire world is not worth your smile. Even if you are made the king or the emperor of the world, it's not worth giving away your smile. ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
World Alchemy quotes by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all. ~ Richard Feynman
World Alchemy quotes by Richard Feynman
He [Wordsworth] invited his readers to abandon their usual perspective and to consider for a time how the world might look through other eyes, to shuttle between the human and the natural perspective. Why might this be interesting, or even inspiring? Perhaps because unhappiness can stem from only having one perspective to play with. ~ Alain De Botton
World Alchemy quotes by Alain De Botton
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering. ~ William Faulkner
World Alchemy quotes by William Faulkner
Any idealist who tries to join the Peace Corps must realize he is not going to change the world overnight. ~ Sargent Shriver
World Alchemy quotes by Sargent Shriver
He pulled me up into the world of advanced literature, where you wrote essays about a line of Dante, where nothing could be made complex enough, where art dealt with the supreme, not in a high-flown sense because it was the modernist canon with which we were engaged, but in the sense of the ungraspable, which was best illustrated by Blanchot's description of Orpheus's gaze, the night of the night, the negation of the negation, which of course was in some way above the trivial and in many ways wretched lives we lived, but what I learned was that also our ludicrously inconsequential lives, in which we could not attain anything of what we wanted, nothing, in which everything was beyond our abilities and power, had a part in this world, and thus also in the supreme, for books existed, you only had to read them, no one but myself could exclude me from them. You just had to reach up. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
World Alchemy quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
The U.S. is excellent at importing cheap products from the rest of the world. Let's try importing some human capital instead. ~ James Surowiecki
World Alchemy quotes by James Surowiecki
Siena DePiero...will you do me the honour of becoming my wife? Because you're in my head and my heart and my soul, and you have been for five years - ever since I first saw you. First you were a fascination, then you became an obsession, and now...I love you. The thought of you being in this world but not with me is more terrifying than anything I've ever known. So, please...will you marry me? ~ Abby Green
