The art of reading is in great part that of acquiring a better understanding of life from one's encounter with it in a book.
Andre Maurois
Image
While the impostor draws his identity from past achievements and the adulation of others, the true self claims identity in its belovedness. We encounter God in the ordinariness of life: not in the search for spiritual highs and extraordinary, mystical experiences but in our simple presence in life.
Brennan Manning
Image
If, for example, you were to think more deeply about death, then it would be truly strange if, in so doing, you did not encounter new images.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Image
When you meet anyone, treat the even as a holy encounter.
Wayne Dyer
Image
And so I pray I am today as honest with myself, with life all around me and below and above me, with all who I encounter.
Jimmy Santiago Baca
Image
I thought about the bigger picture of my life, and about the people—and particularly the guys—I would encounter during my lifetime. How would I ever know when that moment was right, when expectation met anticipation and formed … connection?
Rachel Cohn
Image
Over the years you encounter just about every kind of crime. It doesn't harden you, but you become capable of reporting on just about anything human beings can do. However, any time we're dealing with the murder of a child it is always difficult.
Catherine Crier
Image
It is in the encounter of the maternal guiding instincts with the sensitive periods of the newly born that conscious love develops between parent and child.
Maria Montessori
Image
If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.
Donald Miller
Image
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Winston Churchill
Image
The nature of encounter operations required of the commanders limitless initiative and constant readiness to take the responsibility for military actions.
Georgy Zhukov
Image
I doubt most people could survive being defined by the least advisable sexual encounter they've engaged in.
Amanda Marcotte
Image
we can search for and attain to only one being, that one which was given us, which is within us and which awaits its birth from ourselves. Each day I feel that I leave myself a little more, the better to go toward my encounter with myself.
Georgette Leblanc
Image
Is T.S. Eliot the only poet one can think of who could have spent a year on his own in Paris at twenty-three—and managed to have no sexual encounter whatsoever?
David Markson
Image
I'm sure a handful of people can relate to that experience of having some kind of romantic encounter - the event of love - which they just can't shake. They take it with them, despite their own desire, and it continually haunts them, and there's nothing to be done about it. That's a true rarity.
John Maus
Image
I think life is a learning lesson within itself. I think you should take the best out of everything that you see and that you encounter and make the best of it.
LaToya Jackson
Image
Indolence is the worst enemy that the church has to encounter. Men sleep around her altar, stretching themselves on beds of ease, or sit idly with folded hands looking lazily out on fields white for the harvest, but where no sickle rings against the wheat.
Frederic Dan Huntington
Image
Whenever I felt happy about having discovered something, the first encounter, not only with the public, with other musicians, with specialists, etc, was that they rejected it.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Image
If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good.
Pope Francis
Image
Just breathing and smiling can make us very happy, because when we breathe consciously we recover ourselves completely and encounter life in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Everyday sexual practices on college campuses need to be upended, and men need to feel a cold spike of fear when they begin a sexual encounter.
Ezra Klein
Image
Your emotional reactions to the evil you encounter and your judgments of it show you what you need to change in yourself. Changing those parts of your personality that judge, react in fear, and cannot love into acceptance, fearlessness, and love is the journey you were born to make.
Gary Zukav
Image
I found that when I did something for the sake of heaven, heaven happened. These things changed my life. I owe them to my encounter with Christianity.
Lionel Blue
Image
As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.
