Text Quotes
The press, the machine, the railway, the telegraph are premises whose thousand-year conclusion no one has yet dared to draw  (Thousand Year Quotes) For two thousand years, the Church has guided the development of music, carefully legislating to fuse artistic talent and aesthetic beauty with the demands of the Faith  (Thousand Year Quotes) Wine drinking goes back at least six thousand years. Wine writing probably began a year or two later  (Thousand Year Quotes) I hope that I live for a thousand years, and have a thousand daughters so that there will always be a woman who can curse your name  (Thousand Year Quotes) And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring? passed out of all knowledge  (Thousand Year Quotes) Man has been breeding livestock for ten thousand years and has yet to come up with a monstrous sheep that can trample buildings and graze a whole golf course for breakfast  (Thousand Year Quotes) My main theme is the extension of the nervous system in the electric age, and thus, the complete break with five thousand years of mechanical technology. This I state over and over again. I do not say whether it is a good or bad thing. To do so would be meaningless and arrogant  (Thousand Year Quotes) Five thousand years have added no improvement to the hive of the bee, nor to the house of the beaver; but look at the habitations and the achievements of men!  (Thousand Year Quotes) Reason is progressive; instinct, stationary. Five thousand years have added no improvement to the hive of the bee, nor the house of the beaver  (Thousand Year Quotes) The world could not exist if it were not simple. This ground has been tilled a thousand years, yet its powers remain ever the same; a little rain, a little sun, and each spring it grows green again  (Thousand Year Quotes) Your friends will know you better in the first minute they meet you than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years  (Thousand Year Quotes) No move towards the extinction of the passion between the sexes has taken place in the five or six thousand years that the world has existed  (Thousand Year Quotes) We’re told that they were zealots fueled by religious fervour.. Religious fervour and if you live to be a thousand years old will that make any sense to you? Will that make any goddamn sense?  (Thousand Year Quotes) Do all your work as though you had a thousand years to live; and as you would if you knew you must die tomorrow  (Thousand Year Quotes) They made two thousand years ago seem like yesterday, and yesterday look like today, just as today would, in time, look like tomorrow  (Thousand Year Quotes) The feeling of being the thousand years behind, or ahead, of the others, of belonging to the beginnings or to the end of humanity  (Thousand Year Quotes) Even if you lose yourself in wrath for a hundred thousand years, at the end you will discover, it is me, who is the culmination of your dreams  (Thousand Year Quotes) So are you saying that somebody went to all the trouble to make you a crypt a thousand years ago on the off chance that you might turn up one day, walk in, and have a convenient heart attack?  (Thousand Year Quotes) That could stay, not forever, because we believe that nothing exists that is forever, not even the dinosaurs, but if well maintained, it could remain for four to five thousand years. And that is definitely not forever  (Thousand Year Quotes) I might run from her for a thousand years and she is still my baby child. Our love is so furious that we burn each other out  (Thousand Year Quotes) In the last five or six thousand years, empires one after another have arisen, waxed powerful by wars of conquest, and fallen by internal revolution or attack from without  (Thousand Year Quotes) The sage has the sun and moon by his side and the universe under his arm. He blends everything into a harmonious whole... He blends the disparities of ten thousand years into one complete purity. All things are blended like this and mutually involve each other  (Thousand Year Quotes) Moderate giftedness has been made worthless by the printing press and radio and television and satellites and all that. A moderately gifted person who would have been a community treasure a thousand years ago has to give up, has to go into some other line of work, since modern communications put him or her into daily competition with nothing but world’s champions  (Thousand Year Quotes) What did it mean, the first time, a thinking creature looked deeply into another’s eyes? Did it take a hundred thousand years before this happened or it was the first thing they did, transcendingly, the thing that made them higher, made them modern, the gaze that demonstrates we are lonely in our souls?  (Thousand Year Quotes) Cinema doesn’t connect with the body as artists have in two thousand years of painting, using the nude as the central figure which the ideas seem to circulate around. I think it is important to somehow push or stretch or emphasize, in as many ways as I can, the sheer bulk, shape, heaviness, the juices, the actual structure of the body. Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward  (Thousand Year Quotes) Just as with other great words, the word environment means different things. You might say that a cave woman twenty thousand years ago sweeping out the cave was improving the environment. Many people improving the environment think only in terms of the air they breathe in their hometown and the water in the aquifer under their hometown. My guess is very few are thinking centuries ahead or thousand of years ahead, but that’s what we have to do  (Thousand Year Quotes) Pessimism is a very easy way out because it is a short view of life. If you look at what is happening around us today, you can’t help but feel that life is a terrible complexity of problems. But if you look back a few thousand years, you realize that we have advanced fantastically. If you take a long view, I do not see how you can be pessimistic about the future of mankind  (Thousand Year Quotes) Artificial selection turned the wolf into the shepherd, and the wild grasses into wheat and corn. In fact, almost every plant and animal that we eat today was bred from a wild, less edible ancestor. If artificial selection can work such profound changes in only ten or fifteen thousand years, what can natural selection do operating over billions of years? The answer is all the beauty and diversity of life  (Thousand Year Quotes) Macaulay somewhere says, that it is extraordinary that, whereas the laws of the motions of the heavenly bodies, far removed as they are from us, are perfectly well understood, the laws of the human mind, which are under our observation all day and every day, are no better understood than they were two thousand years ago  (Thousand Year Quotes) Remember that even if you were to live for three thousand years, or thirty thousand, you could not lose any other life than the one you have, and there will be no other life after it. So the longest and the shortest lives are the same. The present moment is shared by all living creatures, but the time that is past is gone forever. No one can lose the past or the future, for if they don’t belong to you, how can they be taken from you?  (Thousand Year Quotes)
