Stopped Quotes

... in the woods, if you stopped, if you grew still, you’d hear a whole new set of sounds, wind rasping through silhouetted leaves and the cries and chatter of blue jays and brown thrashers and redbirds and sparrows, the calling of crows and hawks, squirrels barking, frogs burping, the far braying of dogs, armadillos snorkeling through dead leaves Picture Quote #1

The minute I stopped trying to find the right person, and started trying to become the right person, the right person came along Picture Quote #1

Most authors writing books like ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ dream of doing what I was being asked to do. I didn’t like it. I’m good at giving advice, but doing it on TV and radio felt wrong, and when people resisted my point of view, I was like, ‘Why am I doing this? This was not the plan.’ So I stopped. It didn’t make me feel good Picture Quote #1

You never should feel like you’ve grown up because then you’ve stopped learning and you’ve stopped getting the best things out of life Picture Quote #1

I would have been a terrible mother because I’m basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children Picture Quote #1

Which doesn’t mean, of course, that I’d stopped loving her, that I’d forgotten her, or that her image had paled; on the contrary; in the form of a quiet nostalgia she remained constantly within me; I longed for her as one longs for something definitively lost Picture Quote #1

The total number of children below 15 years of age in the world are now relatively stable around 2 billion Picture Quote #1

I ground matter to find the continuous line. And when I realized I could not find it, I stopped, as if an unseen someone had slapped my hands Picture Quote #1

As long as you have life and breath, believe. Believe for those who cannot. Believe even if you have stopped believing. Believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating, believe. Never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours Picture Quote #1

The most extraordinary dream I ever had was one in which I fancied that, as I was going into a theater, the cloak-room attendant stopped me in the lobby and insisted on my leaving my legs behind me Picture Quote #1

When someone tells you, You've changed, it might simply be because you've stopped living your life their way Picture Quote #1

I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it Picture Quote #1

The music may have stopped but my heart beats to another tune, this rhythm called love Picture Quote #1

Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt, whene'er I passed her; but who passed without much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands; then all smiles stopped together. There she stands as if alive Picture Quote #1

There are no foolish questions, and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions Picture Quote #1

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership Picture Quote #1

In seminary he had been taught that God had completely stopped any overt communication with moderns, preferring to have them only listen to and follow sacred Scripture, properly interpreted, of course. God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellects. It seemed that direct communication with God was something exclusively for the ancients and uncivilized, while educated Westerner's access to God was mediated and controlled by the intelligentsia. Nobody wanted God in a box, just in a book Picture Quote #1

I stopped thinking too much about what could happen and relied on my physical and mental strength to play the right shots at the right time Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned to try to sustain myself by holding on to the integrity of who I am. I’m not talking big diva. I’m quiet. I’m shy. And I became stronger when I stopped trying to be the person they wanted me to be Picture Quote #1

When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity she finally began to enjoy being a woman Picture Quote #1

In two cases I did not fulfill my role as defense minister, in that I did not stop things that I was sure should have been stopped Picture Quote #1

The moment I stopped spending so much time chasing the big pleasure of life. I began to enjoy the little ones, like watching the stars dancing in moonlit sky or soaking in the sunbeams of a glorious summer morning Picture Quote #1

Have you ever stopped to think what fun this business of living can be? If you haven’t, and if you are one of those who insist upon believing that life is humdrum, grim and boring, then I’m afraid this department is not for you. For I don’t believe any such thing. I know that we can all free ourselves and live our lives fully, zestfully and joyfully! Picture Quote #1

Wars aren’t stopped by fighting wars, any more than you can fight fire with fire. You fight fire with water. You fight violence with nonviolence Picture Quote #1

Some of us have a hard time believing that we are actually able to face our own pain. We have convinced ourselves that our pain is too deep, too frightening, something to avoid at all costs. Yet if we finally allow ourselves to feel the depth of that sadness and gently let it break our hearts, we may come to feel a great freedom, a genuine sense of release and peace, because we have finally stopped running away from ourselves and from the pain that lives within us Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest handicaps is to fear a mistake. You have stopped yourself. You have to move freely into the arena, not just to wait for the perfect situation, the perfect moment... If you have to make a mistake, it’s better to make a mistake of action than one of inaction. If I had the opportunity again, I would take chances Picture Quote #1

As long as you live and breath, believe. Believe for those who cannot. Believe even if you stopped believing. Believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating, believe. Never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours Picture Quote #1

Your lies didn’t stop me loving you; your truth hasn’t stopped me either Picture Quote #1
