Text Quotes
And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames  (Thomas Moore Quotes) The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest  (Thomas Moore Quotes) This wretched brain gave way, and I became a wreck at random driven, without one glimpse of reason or heaven  (Thomas Moore Quotes) From plants that wake when others sleep, from timid jasmine buds that keep their odour to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about  (Thomas Moore Quotes) It is precisely because we resist the darkness in ourselves that we miss the depths of the loveliness, beauty, brilliance, creativity, and joy that lie at our core  (Thomas Moore Quotes) We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk  (Thomas Moore Quotes) I have plenty of machinery around me; what I really need is a more enchanting world in which to live and work  (Thomas Moore Quotes) A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul  (Thomas Moore Quotes) The problem in narcissism is not the high ideals and ambitions, it’s the difficulty one encounters when trying to give them body  (Thomas Moore Quotes) It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul  (Thomas Moore Quotes) The key to seeing the world’s soul, and in the process wakening our own, is to get over the confusion by which we think that fact is real and imagination is illusion  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Love doesn’t demand perfection, but it does ask you to give yourself with less reserve than you’d prefer  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Usually, the main problem with life conundrums is that we don’t bring to them enough imagination  (Thomas Moore Quotes) It’s important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don’t necessarily nurture soul. The soul has different concerns, of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relatedness to the environs and to people; and any animal’s rhythm of rest and activity  (Thomas Moore Quotes) A soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communication and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing more precious in life  (Thomas Moore Quotes) When we relate to our bodies as having soul, we attend to their beauty, their poetry and their expressiveness. Our very habit of treating the body as a machine, whose muscles are like pulleys and its organs engines, forces its poetry underground, so that we experience the body as an instrument and see its poetics only in illness  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Plants that wake when others sleep. Timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Rich and rare were the gems she wore, and a bright gold ring on her wand she bore  (Thomas Moore Quotes) By learning to discover and value our ordinariness, we nurture a friendliness toward ourselves and the world that is the essence of a healthy soul  (Thomas Moore Quotes) This heart, my own dear mother, bends, with love’s true instinct, back to thee!  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, which I gaze on so fondly today, were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms, like fairy gifts fading away!  (Thomas Moore Quotes) When once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, /the maiden herself will steal after it soon  (Thomas Moore Quotes) The family the soul wants is a felt network of relationship, an evocation of a certain kind of interconnection that grounds, roots, and nestles  (Thomas Moore Quotes) Intimacy begins with oneself. It does no good to try to find intimacy with friends, lovers and family if you are starting out from alienation and division within yourself  (Thomas Moore Quotes) The only thing as challenging as getting tangled in the underbrush of relationship is trying to write about it  (Thomas Moore Quotes) The minds of some of our statesmen, like the pupil of the human eye, contract themselves the more, the stronger light there is shed upon them  (Thomas Moore Quotes) No man, however great, is known to everybody and no man, however solitary, is known to nobody  (Thomas Moore Quotes)
