Describing Quotes

I try to use all of my senses when describing a setting, and try to think of everything that would impact a character in any given scene Picture Quote #1

Curiously enough, it seems to be only in describing a mode of language which does not mean what it says that one can actually say what one means Picture Quote #1

Psychologists have set about describing the true nature of women with a certainty and a sense of their own infallibility rarely found in the secular world Picture Quote #1

Patients describing the benefits of prayer often talk about how it provides a sense of well being Picture Quote #1

There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them. This darkness, which he imagines he can dispense with in describing the light, is error with its unknown characteristics. Error is certainty’s constant companion. Error is the corollary of evidence. And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater Picture Quote #1

I’m incapable of describing the feeling with which I left. I wouldn’t want it ever to be repeated, but I would have considered myself unfortunate if I’d never experienced it Picture Quote #1

She was like a heroine in a novel that she herself was writing the character kept protesting that she was too strong for love and yet the narrator went on describing her desire Picture Quote #1

They both seemed to understand that describing it was beyond their powers, the gratitude that spreads through your body when a burden gets lifted, and the sense of homecoming that follows, when you suddenly remember what it feels like to be yourself Picture Quote #1

In describing today’s accelerating changes, the media fire blips of unrelated information at us. Experts bury us under mountains of narrowly specialized monographs. Popular forecasters present lists of unrelated trends, without any model to show us their interconnections or the forces likely to reverse them. As a result, change itself comes to be seen as anarchic, even lunatic Picture Quote #1

One must conclude that, contrary to the established and current wisdom, a scenario describing the genesis of life on earth by chance and natural causes which can be accepted on the basis of fact and not faith has not been written Picture Quote #1

Whether we are describing a king, an assassin, a thief, an honest man, a prostitute, a nun, a young girl, or a stallholder in a market, it is always ourselves that we are describing Picture Quote #1

C.S. Lewis admitted, when he was asked to set forth his beliefs, that he never felt less sure of them than when he tried to speak of them. Photographers know this frailty. To them words are a pallid, diffuse way of describing and celebrating what matters. Their gift is to see what will be affecting as a print. Mute Picture Quote #1

I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things Picture Quote #1

Trying to explain or define grace is like catching the wind in a cardboard box or describing the color green Picture Quote #1

You call a star a star, and say it is just a ball of matter moving on a mathematical course. But that is merely how you see it. By so naming things and describing them you are only inventing your own terms about them. And just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth Picture Quote #1

Everything that can happen, does. That’s quantum mechanics. But this does not mean everything happens. The rest of physics is about describing what can happen and what can’t Picture Quote #1

If we were magically shrunk and put into someone’s brain while she was thinking, we would see all the pumps, pistons, gears and levers working away and we would be able to describe the workings completely, in mechanical terms, thereby completely describing the thought processes of the brain. But that description would not contain any mention of thought! It would contain nothing but descriptions of pumps, pistons, levers! Picture Quote #1

What is drawing? Not once in describing the shape of the mass did I shift my eyes from the model. Why? Because I wanted to be sure that nothing evaded my grasp of it... My objective is to test to what extent my hands already feel what my eyes see Picture Quote #1

Describing yourself by your earthly nativity is carnality. Being born again, your nativity is of divinity Picture Quote #1

I cannot stand that whole game of confession, that is: Here I have sinned, now I’m confessing my sins, and describing my path of sin and then in the act of confession I beg for your forgiveness and redemption Picture Quote #1

Documenting trips makes them that much richer. I stick in train tickets and business cards from restaurants. It makes the whole experience poetic, describing the sights, smells and sounds around me. It means I can relive the holiday years later Picture Quote #1

Describing comic sensibility is near impossible. It’s sort of an abstract silliness, that sometimes the joke isn’t the star Picture Quote #1

I’ll continue on the path I’ve been taking, feet on the ground, describing people’s lives, describing people’s emotions, writing from the standpoint of the ordinary people Picture Quote #1

In terms of a narrative nonfiction book, when you’re describing scenes that you have multiple sources for, and that you have differing sources for, and you decide to choose a path that puts all that information together, well yeah, there’s definitely going to be a little bit of the author in that. But there’s nothing wrong with that Picture Quote #1

Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of color. Thus it is incapable of producing a picture of this color Picture Quote #1

I think that leadership more than anything is about setting a course and describing a vision for people Picture Quote #1

Do you know how writers often say the characters take over... But that is more or less what it always feels like to me, too. Even though that’s just a way of describing how your brain is working, it’s still what you tend to feel Picture Quote #1

If you want to talk about grace, if you want to talk about revelation, talk about your life with some depth, which doesn’t mean lurid revelations as much as simply looking at your own deep experiences and describing them as they are Picture Quote #1

Women, when describing their roles in their organizations, usually referred to themselves as being in the middle of things. Not at the top, but in the center; not reaching down, but reaching out Picture Quote #1
