Text Quotes
Chess is a form of intellectual productiveness, therein lies its peculiar charm. Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy (Form Quotes)
Intricate minglings of different uses in cities are not a form of chaos. On the contrary, they represent a complex and highly developed form of order (Form Quotes)
The rigidity of a bottle’s form does not affect the fluidity of the liquid it contains (Form Quotes)
It’s about the connecting force from form to form. It’s the toe bone connecting to the shoulder bone. It’s the bacterial kick of life force, something growing out of nothing, forming itself out of something else. Form never stops. And form is always environmental (Form Quotes)
Short stories consume you faster. They’re connected to brevity. With the short story, you are up against mortality. I know how tough they are as a form, but they’re also a total joy (Form Quotes)
You cannot cheat with the law of conservation of violence: all violence is paid for, and for example, the structural violence exerted by the financial markets, in the form of layoffs, loss of security, etc., is matched sooner or later in the form of suicides, crime and delinquency, drug addiction, alcoholism, a whole host of minor and major everyday acts of violence (Form Quotes)
Love and politics are the two great figures of social engagement. Politics is enthusiasm with a collective; with love, two people. So love is the minimal form of communism (Form Quotes)
When you’re really caught up in writing a poem, it can be a form of prayer. I’m not very good at praying, but what I experience when I’m writing a poem is close to prayer. I feel it in different degrees and not with every poem. But in certain ways writing is a form of prayer (Form Quotes)
The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form (Form Quotes)
In order to design buildings with a sensuous connection to life, one must think in a way that goes far beyond form and construction (Form Quotes)
I don’t believe we shall ever again have any form of society in which men will be free. One should not hope for it. One should not hope for anything. Hope is invented by politicians to keep the electorate happy (Form Quotes)
Concentrate on small segments of your race at a time. For example, rather than obsessing about the distance that remains, simply complete the next mile in good form... try another, then another, until the race is done (Form Quotes)
The revelation of the secret of water will put an end to all manner of speculation or expediency and their excrescences, to which belong war, hatred, impatience and discord of every kind. The thorough study of water therefore signifies the end of monopolies, the end of all domination in the truest sense of the word and the start of a socialism arising from the development of individualism in its most perfect form (Form Quotes)
The art form is to become one with the hurdle, to make it your friend, and I embraced that process (Form Quotes)
How you go over hurdle one should be how you go over hurdle ten. You need the strength to accelerate, and to maintain form (Form Quotes)
I think that women of my generation have had a real need to form networks and friendships because it’s been, as they say, a man’s world, and women have felt excluded and isolated to a large degree. When women get together in numbers their strength compounds and is seen and felt by themselves and others (Form Quotes)
If you ask what you are going to do about global warming, the only rational answer is to change the way in which we do transportation, energy production, agriculture and a good deal of manufacturing. The problem originates in human activity in the form of the production of goods (Form Quotes)
I have always added dance to my productions. When I was directing theatre, I added dance sequences where they didn’t exist in the play. I think dance is the ultimate form of expression (Form Quotes)
Aberjhani’s writing blows the mind and frees the psyche of any rigid assumptions about ancestral heritage. Here, our collective experience is starkly rendered. The transparency of one culture overlays another, and another, to form the daguerreotype of possibilities that is homo sapiens, interacting, almost like the elements themselves, with the created world and modified only by context and its imperatives (Form Quotes)
The artist accepts the limitations of form, not with fear and dread, but as the starting point of creation (Form Quotes)
Agriculture probably required a far greater discipline than did any form of food collecting. Seeds had to be planted at certain seasons, some protection had to be given to the growing plants and animals, harvests had to be reaped, stored and divided. Thus, we might argue that it was neither leisure time nor a sedentary existence but the more rigorous demands associated with an agricultural way of life that led to great cultural changes (Form Quotes)
The novel form is about the protagonist’s struggle to transform his arbitrary, fragmented, given experience into a narrative as meaningful as his favorite books (Form Quotes)
Nature’s beauty we all admire in every shape and form, but how much more we admire her when the weather’s nice and warm (Form Quotes)
In the hero stories, the call to go on a journey takes the form of a loss, an error, a wound, an unexplainable longing, or a sense of a mission. When any of these happens to us, we are being summoned to make a transition. It will always mean leaving something behind,... The paradox here is that loss is a path to gain (Form Quotes)
Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living (Form Quotes)
It seems to me that philosophers should be more relaxed about whether or not some form of materialism is true (Form Quotes)
Globilization in its current form cannot deliver the benefits expected of it. Civil society, particularly in developing countries, must ensure that it does (Form Quotes)
It was not the case that one thing morphed into another, child into woman. You remained the person you were before things happened to you. The person you were when you thought a small cut string could determine the course of a year. You also became the person to whom certain things happened. Who passed into the realm where you no longer questioned the notion of being trapped in one form. You took on that form, that identity, hoped for its recognition from others, hoped someone would love it and you (Form Quotes)
Think of yourselves as a hand. Each of you is a finger, and without the others you’re useless. Alone, a finger can’t grasp, or control, or form a fist. You are nothing on your own, and everything together (Form Quotes)
Some say that life has no form, that it is extremely diffuse. I think I can agree with them... A life without conclusions is painful (Form Quotes)
