Jack Vance
Image
The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
No journey is too great, when one finds what one seeks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
As one that neither seeks, nor shuns his foe.
John Dryden
Image

Image
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand

First Amendment freedoms are most in danger when the government seeks to control thought or to justify its laws for that impermissible end. The right to think is the beginning of freedom, and speech must be protected from the government because speech is the beginning of thought.
Anthony Kennedy

Of all the animals on earth, none is so brutish as man when he seeks the delirium of coition.
Edward Dahlberg
Image
In ridiculing a pathetic human fallacy, which seeks explanation where none need be sought and which multiplies unnecessary assumptions, one should not mimic primitive ontology in order to challenge it. Better to dispose of the needless assumption altogether. This holds true for everything from Noah's flood to the Holocaust.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.
Coretta Scott King
Image
God is not an elusive dream or a phantom to chase, but a divine person to know. He does not avoid us, but seeks us. When we seek Him, the contact is instantaneous.

Image
If my words don't flow out of a heart that rests in God's control, sovereignty, then they come out of the heart that seeks control so I can get what I want.
Mark Driscoll

One seeks to make the loved one entirely happy, or, if that cannot be, entirely wretched.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Reason is a tool to help us better understand and defend our faith as Anselm put it, ours is a faith that seeks understanding.
William Lane Craig
Image
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Aldous Huxley
