american-novelist given ideas power suffer
An idea is never given to you without you being given the power to make it reality. You must, nevertheless, suffer for it.
children son ideas
We're all the sons of God, or children of the Is, or ideas of the Mind, or however else you want to say it.
crazy silly ideas
Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
ideas united-states states
In the United States Christmas has become the rape of an idea.
children ideas different
Languages are fluffy big pillows stuffed between nations - what others say is muffled and nearly lost in them, and when we speak their grammar we get feathers in our mouth. It's worth it. What pleasure to phrase an idea, even in child's words, slowly, and sail it across the gulf in another language to a different-speaking human being!
ideas perfection limits
There is such a thing as perfection...and our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth....Each of us is in truth an unlimited idea of freedom. Everything that limits us we have to put aside.
fun creativity ideas
It's easy to live the expected and conventional. It's when you live the unexpected that you start having fun with your life.
believe ideas fake
Of course I'm a fake. We're all fakes on this whole world, pretending to be something we're not. We are not just bodies walking around, not just atoms, molecules. We are unkillable, undestroyable ideas of the IS, no matter how much we believe otherwise.
ideas lovely unwritten
I'm a writer as rarely as possible, when forced by an idea too lovely to let die unwritten
character ideas following
Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work.
names ideas people
A Name Is A Label, And As Soon As There Is A Label, The Ideas Disappear And Out Comes Label-Worship And Label-Bashing, And Instead Of Living By A Theme Of Ideas, People Begin Dying For Labels... And The Last Thing The World Needs Is Another Religion.
writing dark ideas
I do not enjoy writing at all. If I can turn my back on an idea, out there in the dark, if I can avoid opening the door to it, I won't even reach for a pencil.
life simple ideas
The ideas behind the words are simple ones that work in everyday life; find what we most want to do; do it, no matter what; and in the doing be guaranteed a very difficult and a very happy lifetime.
fighting ideas gone
Do you have any idea how many lives we must have gone through before we even got the first idea that there is more to life than eating, or fighting, or power in the Flock? A thousand lives, Jon, ten thousand!
