The Finger Quotes

It is pleasing to be pointed at with the finger and to have it said, there goes the man Picture Quote #1

To point at the moon a finger is needed, but woe to those who take the finger for the moon Picture Quote #1

All good writing is built one good line at a time. You build a novel the same way you do a pyramid. One word, one stone at a time, underneath a full moon while the fingers bleed Picture Quote #1

Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger, right? Picture Quote #1

The result was the same as tuning down the strings by a semitone and using a capo at the first fret. With less tension in the strings, the sound was more mellow and softer; it also allowed me to cover a larger span of the fingerboard. I used this for quite a few years, but eventually I went back to the standard fingerboard Picture Quote #1

The link between intimate violence in the home and the international violence of terrorism and war is as tightly bound together as the fingers of a clenched fist Picture Quote #1

Playing a flute is like writing a book. You’re telling what’s in your heart... It’s easier to play if it’s right from your heart. You get the tone, and the fingers will follow Picture Quote #1

The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then you start playing for yourself. Show them that you’re an individual. And I can count those who are doing that today on the fingers of one hand Picture Quote #1

Let me see if I can put this in scientific terms: Think of autism like a fart, and vaccines are the finger you pull to make it happen Picture Quote #1

Mortality is, in reality, a very, very short period. It is literally a snap of the fingers compared to an eternity. It is so short that we can do it. We can prevail. Why, you can stand your foot in a vise for a while if you know it’s going to be released soon. Yes, earthly probation is short compared to eternity, but so very much is riding on how we handle the trials and temptations of the flesh Picture Quote #1

To my mind, you cannot speak about the need for leadership within our communities without being prepared to take on responsibility yourself. It’s not enough to point the finger at those who have let us down and to expect others to come forward and fix our problems. Nor can anyone afford to call themselves a leader unless they truly have the interests of our community at heart. Too many people like to think they are leaders and too many are identified by the media as leaders who are not really leaders at all Picture Quote #1

The fingers on his flesh told him he was loved, that he had always been loved, and that the world was a place where above all else things that were good would find a way to burrow into you Picture Quote #1

If, while at the piano, you attempt to form little melodies, that is very well; but if they come into your mind of themselves, when you are not practising, you may be still more pleased; for the internal organ of music is then roused in you. The fingers must do what the head desires; not the contrary Picture Quote #1

The girls I dream of are the gentle ones, wistful by high windows or singing sweet old songs at a piano, long hair drifting, tender as apple blossom. But a girl who goes into battle beside you and keeps your back is a different thing, a thing to make you shiver. Think of the first time you slept with someone, or the first time you fell in love: that blinding explosion that left you cracking to the fingertips with electricity, initiated and transformed. I tell you that was nothing, nothing at all, beside the power of putting your lives, simply and daily, into each other’s hands Picture Quote #1

There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other’s past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies Picture Quote #1

The examining physician often hesitates to make the necessary examination because it involves soiling the finger Picture Quote #1

I went to the store and bought lady fingers, when I got home I noticed one of the fingers was missing so I went back to the store and the manager was nice enough to give me the finger Picture Quote #1

Inside a religious body you get sects and hierarchies, inside an information network you get bazaars and cathedrals, it is the same, call them what you like. They survive by pointing the finger of blame at each other Picture Quote #1

I think politicians do great things in the world, but I don’t think they’re the only ones who can. I don’t like all the rhetoric and the finger pointing Picture Quote #1

A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up Picture Quote #1

I want your life filling and stirring me. I want your happiness beneath my heart and your sorrows in my eyes and your peace in the fingers of my hand Picture Quote #1

Once I knew only darkness and stillness. My life was without past or future. But a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living Picture Quote #1

We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers Picture Quote #1

In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress Picture Quote #1

The hand which scoops up the water is the first vessel. The fingers of both hands intertwined are the first basket Picture Quote #1

A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end Picture Quote #1

First time he kissed me, he but only kissed the fingers of this hand wherewith I write; and, ever since, it grew more clean and white Picture Quote #1

Then all this became history. Your hand found mine. Life rushed to my fingers like a blood clot. Oh, my carpenter, the fingers are rebuilt. They dance with yours Picture Quote #1

The only thing that it is advisable to know in any language is the numerals; and even there, you can do a lot with the fingers Picture Quote #1

The common error of ordinary religious practice is to mistake the symbol for the reality, to look at the finger pointing the way and then to suck it for comfort rather than follow it Picture Quote #1
