Text Quotes
The paradox is now fully established that the utmost abstractions are the true weapons with which to control our thought of concrete fact  (Concrete Quotes) Life is a canvas of many strokes where shades from different palettes meet into a picture so concrete that some forget it is their own, so become framed themselves  (Concrete Quotes) That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography  (Concrete Quotes) The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now  (Concrete Quotes) His examination revealed that he had no fever, no pain anywhere, and that his only concrete feeling was an urgent desire to die. All that was needed was shrewd questioning... to conclude once again that the symptoms of love were the same as those of cholera  (Concrete Quotes) Some argued that the youth of today were poorly educated and insufficiently industrious, but one of them had sought to validate his generation by spending considerable time and effort chiseling an obscene word in the concrete picnic table, and he had spelled it correctly  (Concrete Quotes) I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away  (Concrete Quotes) Rain was coming down in sheets. I could hear it, on the concrete outside and on the old building above me. It creaked and swayed in the spring thunderstorm and the wind, timbers gently flexing, wise enough with age to give a little, rather than put up stubborn resistance until they broke. I could probably stand to learn something from that  (Concrete Quotes) We wouldn’t ask why a rose that grew from the concrete for having damaged petals, in turn, we would all celebrate its tenacity, we would all love its will to reach the sun, well, we are the roses, this is the concrete and these are my damaged petals, don’t ask me why, thank God, and ask me how  (Concrete Quotes) Science condemns itself to failure when, yielding to the infatuation of the serious, it aspires to attain being, to contain it, and to possess it; but it finds its truth if it considers itself as a free engagement of thought in the given, aiming, at each discovery, not at fusion with the thing, but at the possibility of new discoveries; what the mind then projects is the concrete accomplishment of its freedom  (Concrete Quotes) The terrible part of this looming catastrophe is that people have been working on solutions for years and have developed concrete steps to massively reduce our energy use, while stimulating whole new industries and technologies that are more efficient and affordable  (Concrete Quotes) Of course, a psychologist would find it more direct to study the inspired poet. He would make concrete studies of inspiration in individual geniuses. But for all that, would he experience the phenomena of inspiration? His human documentation gathered from inspired poets could hardly be related, except from the exterior, in an ideal of objective observations. Comparison of inspired poets would soon make us lose sight of inspiration  (Concrete Quotes) We are still waiting for the president to introduce a concrete plan. He has just hinted at what he is thinking about doing, but no one has seen a proposal  (Concrete Quotes) Pouring concrete on land you don’t own is called a calculated risk, if you don’t pour you loose millions  (Concrete Quotes) It’s been all over the press, and schools are deciding to shut it down. We released a public announcement saying that we had some potential solutions that we were working with, and once we had something concrete we would start implementing it and approach schools  (Concrete Quotes) Everything abstract is ultimately part of the concrete. Everything inanimate finally serves the living. That is why every activity dealing in abstraction stands in ultimate service to a living whole  (Concrete Quotes) Truth, which is important to a scholar, has got to be concrete. And there is nothing more concrete than dealing with babies, burps and bottles, frogs and mud  (Concrete Quotes) The war against terrorism should not be used to interfere with an independent, sovereign state. We need to identify concrete terrorist targets and do no harm to civilians  (Concrete Quotes) The more workers you have in your organization, the better you are implanted in the working class, the more likely you are to come up with the concrete problems of the class  (Concrete Quotes) ... the world is just as concrete, ornery, vile, and sublimely wonderful as before, only now I better understand my relation to it and it to me  (Concrete Quotes) To take the choice of another … to forget their concrete reality, to abstract them, to forget that you are a node in a matrix, that actions have consequences. We must not take the choice of another being. What is community but a means to … for all we individuals to have … our choices  (Concrete Quotes) By preaching the doctrine that nothing is to be admired except steel and concrete, one merely makes it a little surer that human beings will have no outlet for their surplus energy except in hatred and leader worship  (Concrete Quotes) We tried burying the waste at sea and the concrete cannisters that held it cracked open  (Concrete Quotes) No problem can be solved until it is reduced to some simple form. The changing of a vague difficulty into a specific, concrete form is a very essential element in thinking  (Concrete Quotes) The first law in advertising is to avoid the concrete promise... And cultivate the delightfully vague  (Concrete Quotes) CERN is a concrete example of worldwide, international co-operation - and a concrete example of peace. The place which makes, in my opinion, better scientists, but also better people  (Concrete Quotes) If you really look at it, I was trying to sell a dream... There was very little I could put in concrete to tell these people it was really real  (Concrete Quotes) I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren’t enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision  (Concrete Quotes) Indeed, the human mind appeared to suffer from a crippling need to fabricate in the absence of concrete proof  (Concrete Quotes) The basis of all true cosmic horror is violation of the order of nature, and the profoundest violations are always the least concrete and describable  (Concrete Quotes)
