Gould carried the art of bending over backward to positively supine lengths. Why shouldn't we comment on God, as scientists? ... A universe with a creative superintendent would be a very different kind of universe from one without. Why is that not a scientific matter?
Richard Dawkins
Image
Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.
Laozi
Image
In the water I saw my father's face, and that face saw the face of its father, and so on, and so on, reflecting backward to the beginning of time, to the face of God, in whose image we were created.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Image
I don't miss anything ever. Because to me, missing something is like going backward a little bit. I don't miss being in a punk band. For me, 'SNL' is like... this is gonna sound overly dramatic, but... the way I am, it feels like I'm a soldier, so it was like, 'What do you want me to do? Put me anywhere. Do you want me to do these sketches? Great.'
Fred Armisen
Image
I'm going to change my image - backward caps, the lot.
Tom Felton
Image
People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.
Edmund Burke
Image
I felt held hostage by her illness and by the backward mental health system that once again was incapable of helping our family in crisis.
Mira Bartok
Image
If Bangladesh succumbs to the rule of one family, it would be a major step backward for the region.
Khaleda Zia
Image
Art need not be intended. It comes inevitably as the tree from the root, the branch from the trunk, the blossom from the twig. None of these forget the present in looking backward or forward. They are occupied wholly with the fulfillment of their own existence.
Robert Henri
Image
I went off and read the books after the audition and I read all four books in one sitting - you know - didn't wash, didn't eat, drove around with them on the steering wheel like a lunatic. I suddenly understood why my friends, who I'd thought where slightly backward, had been so addicted to these children's books. They're like crack.
Jason Isaacs
Image
So different are the colors of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.
Samuel Johnson
Image
There will always be those people who are just backward and ignorant. There will always be those people. They need somebody to feel superior to.
Janis Ian
Image
Every age must look for its sanction to its poetry and philosophy, for in these the human mind, as it looks backward or forward, attains to an eternal state.
James Joyce
Image
And once again I think about how people use the devil as an alias for the things they fear. The cause and effect is backward. The devil doesn't make anyone do anything. People just do things and blame the devil after.
David Levithan
Image
The complete emancipation of women from the ties which held them back in the past, during the ages of despotism and ignorance, is a basic aim of the Party and the Revolution. Women make up one half of society. Our society will remain backward and in chains unless its women are liberated, enlightened and educated.
Saddam Hussein
Image
While I occasionally enjoy a bout of nostalgia, I would generally rather dream forward than backward.
Robert Breault
Image
I still can't believe that some pseudocritics continue to accuse me of having murdered tango. They have it backward. They should look at me as the saviour of tango. I performed plastic surgery on it.
Astor Piazzolla
Image
If everybody floated with the tide of talk, placidity would soon end in stagnation. It is the strong backward stroke which stirs the ripples, and gives animation and variety.
Agnes Repplier
Image
I think Confederate Battle Flag is a symbol that causes a great deal of division and reminds us of a really hurtful legacy and past... I think there are some Southerners, black and white, who feel as though the rest of the country looks down on the South as uneducated and backward. And for some people, that was a symbol of defiance against that.
Russell D. Moore
Image
I rolled my eyes so far into the top of my head I almost fell over backward.
Janet Evanovich
Image
Us ballplayers do things backward. First we play, then we retire and go to work.
Charlie Gehringer
Image
If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.
Greg Maddux
Image
There is one thing pleasantly unconfusing about medicine. The direction and the end are fixed and the patient never works backward.
John Steinbeck
Image
By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward.
