Unwelcome Quotes

From the very first instances of perception, some things are grateful and others unwelcome to us; some things we incline to, and others we fly Picture Quote #1

The computer can help us find what we know is there. But the book remains our symbol and our resource for the unimagined question and the unwelcome answer Picture Quote #1

Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one’s own past failings Picture Quote #1

Society had grown cruel. People who felt they were unwanted or unwelcome in their own country, reacted with aggression. There was no such thing as meaningless violence. Every violent act had a meaning for the person who committed it. Only when you dared accept this truth could you hope to turn society in another direction Picture Quote #1

For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it Picture Quote #1

All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome Picture Quote #1

Nobody... likes talking about enforceable international protocols and yet unless there is a real change in attitude, we have to contemplate those very unwelcome possibilities if we want the global economy not to collapse and millions, billions, of people to die Picture Quote #1

I know a few things to be true. I do not know where I am going, where I have come from is disappearing, I am unwelcome and my beauty is not beauty here. My body is burning with the shame of not belonging, my body is longing Picture Quote #1

Change, even if unwelcome, forces us to reevaluate what our best options are. Those times of transitions are great opportunities to look for recurring patterns in your life and make adjustments to build on the good and reduce the bad Picture Quote #1

A half century of living should put a good deal into a person’s face besides a few wrinkles and some unwelcome folds around the chin Picture Quote #1

In other people’s company I felt I was dull, gloomy, unwelcome, at once bored and boring Picture Quote #1

The dog is guided by kindly instinct to the man or woman whose heart is open to his advances. The cat often leaves the friend who courts her, to honor, or to harass, the unfortunate mortal who shudders at her unwelcome caresses Picture Quote #1

I want to welcome folks to poetry, especially those who may have previously felt unwelcome; I want to celebrate everyone who is trying to make sense of this world through poetry the way I try to Picture Quote #1
