Grain Quotes

Every particle of the world is a mirror. In each atom blazes forth the light of a thousand suns. Open the heart of a raindrop and you will find a hundred oceans. In a grain of sand lies the seed of a thousand beings Picture Quote #1

A wise word is more rare than the green emerald, and one can find the word of wisdom even amongst the slave girls making grain Picture Quote #1

The people always know that some of the grain will be good, some of the crop will be saved, some will return and bear the strength of the kernel, that from the bloodiest year some survive to outfox the frost Picture Quote #1

Though it has no thought of keeping watch, it’s not for naught that the scarecrow stands in the grain field Picture Quote #1

We have become so accustomed to hearing everyone claim that his product is the best in the world, or the cheapest, that we take all such statements with a grain of salt Picture Quote #1

I culled poetry from odors, sounds, faces, and ordinary events occurring around me. Breezes bulged me as if I were cloth; sounds nicked their marks on my nerves; objects made impressions on my sight as if in clay. There, in the soft language, life centered and ground itself in me and I was flowing with the grain of the universe. Language placed my life experiences in a new context, freeing me for the moment to become with air as air, with clouds as clouds, from which new associations arose to engage me in present life in a more purposeful way Picture Quote #1

Grain is life, there’s all this striving for perfection with digital stuff. Striving is fine, but getting there is not great. I want a sense of the human and that is what breathes life into a picture. For me, imperfection is perfection Picture Quote #1

My furniture, boxes, and turnings are simple, practical designs for everyday use. I love the grain and beauty of wood. Each piece of lumber is a work of art, after all, and I’d like to honor that gift and pass it on for someone else to appreciate Picture Quote #1

When someone tells you it’s a grain of sand, there’s a moment where your reality falls apart and you have to reconstruct it. You have to step back and ask what the image is and what it means Picture Quote #1

I like to go against the grain, against what’s out there. Every day is like a challenge Picture Quote #1

A person is alive only to the degree that he or she is aware. To make the most of life we must constantly strive to be aware of the importance of being aware. Be aware of your senses and use them: So often we are distracted and unconscious of the riches our senses can pour into our lives. We eat food without tasting it, listen to music without hearing it, smell without experiencing the pungency of odors and the delicacy of perfumes, touch without feeling the grain or texture, and see without appreciating the beauty around us Picture Quote #1

You must bind up any wounds you give the earth and you must feed her to replace what you take from her. Every gift she gives, every tree, every stalk of grain, costs her. Only if you repay your debts will she continue to provide Picture Quote #1

Your actions in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life Picture Quote #1

It takes less land to grow a pound of broccoli than it does a pound of beef. Less land to grow a pound of grain than a pound of beef. Less water, less energy Picture Quote #1

I only shoot on film. I like the quality, the grain and the imperfections. It offers me something much more rewarding than any digital camera can give me. I believe the extra expense is worth it Picture Quote #1

Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It’s all lies. I have never laid a finger on her Picture Quote #1

All that’s visible springs from causes intimate to you. While walking, sitting, lying down, the body itself is complete truth. If someone asks the inner meaning of this: Inside the treasury of dharma eye a single grain of dust Picture Quote #1

It goes against an artist’s grain to retire. But whether he retires or not, he will age... What work will get done in the remaining time?...Can he find a little peace in this twilight? Or must he still rush on, restlessly and hungrily, to the very end? Picture Quote #1

We are consuming our forests three times faster than they are being reproduced. Some of the richest timber lands of this continent have already been destroyed, and not replaced, and other vast areas are on the verge of destruction. Yet forests, unlike mines, can be so handled as to yield the best results of use, without exhaustion, just like grain fields Picture Quote #1

Learn to sustain yourselves; lay up grain and flour, and save it against a day of scarcity Picture Quote #1

Constantly contemplate the whole of time and the whole of substance, and consider that all individual things as to substance are a grain of a fig, and as to time the turning of a gimlet Picture Quote #1

Any good parody takes a grain of truth and exaggerates it for the big screen. People ask me if I’m offended at all and I say not in the least Picture Quote #1

The transcendental point of view, the habit of thought bred by communion with earth and sky, had refined the grain while it had roughened the husk Picture Quote #1

Ethnic stereotypes are misshapen pearls, sometimes with a sandy grain of truth at their center.... but they ignore complexity, change, and individuality Picture Quote #1

History must always be taken with a grain of salt. It is, after all, not a science but an art Picture Quote #1

A gritty grain of truth lay at the heart of most legends, she had told me, and the slow accretion of fiction hardened in layers around it Picture Quote #1
