Not writing is probably the most exhausting profession I've ever encountered.
Fran Lebowitz

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of accidentally becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem involved in becoming your own father or mother that a broadminded and well-adjusted family can't cope with.
Douglas Adams
Image
However, there are those who deserve to die but who have not yet encountered the means to do so—we help them on their way.
R.L. LaFevers
Image
Magic is what happens when you have encountered the Divine. It is the life-altering experiences of connecting to the divinity that dwells within yourself and in the world.
Phyllis Curott
Image
I didn't see much besides Melbourne and a quick trip down to the Twelve Apostles, but all the Aussies I encountered were good-spirited and had a fine sense of humor.
Jim Goad
Image
Like a plank of driftwood Tossed on the watery main, Another plank encountered, Meets, touches, parts again So tossed, and drifting ever, On life's unresting sea, Men meet, and greet, and sever, Parting eternally.
Edwin Arnold

It's what the Iraqi people are going through right now. They have encountered a victorious, hostile force - but, you know, there they still are. There their culture is, there their history is, they're not going anywhere.
Michael Nesmith

Spirituality is a journey inward that connects the Self to yourself. When you know who you are from the inside out, when you do what you sense is right for you, when your thoughts lead you to actions that serve others as well as make you feel good, then you have encountered spirituality.

Call the roll in your memory of conspicuously successful [business] giants and, if you know anything about their careers, you will be struck by the fact that almost every one of them encountered inordinate difficulties sufficient to crush all but the gamest of spirits. Edison went hungry many times before he became famous.
B. C. Forbes
Image
He [Jesus] was the greatest human being who has ever lived. He was a moral genius. His ethical sense was unique. He was the intrinsically wisest person that I've ever encountered in my life or in my reading. His commitment was total and led to his own death, much to the detriment of the world.
Charles Templeton

When I first encountered the name of the city of Stockholm, I little thought that I would ever visit it, never mind end up being welcomed to it as a guest of the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Foundation.
Seamus Heaney
Image
In my travels, I have encountered cranes on three continents.
Alex Shoumatoff

People who care nothing about money probably exist or we wouldn't hear so much about them. But I've never encountered one in the flesh.
Rae Foley

But the best teams I've encountered have one important thing in common: their team structure and processes cover a full range of distinct competencies necessary for success.
Jesse James Garrett
Image
Nowadays, as before, the public declaration and confession of Orthodoxy is usually encountered among dull-witted, cruel and immoral people who tend to consider themselves very important. Whereas intelligence, honesty, straightforwardness, good-naturedness and morality are qualities usually found among people who claim to be non-believers.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
I am cruel and I am selfish, but this need I have inside me, this need for you and no other, is stronger than anything else I've ever encountered. I doubt two years of lockup would dull it in the slightest.
Gena Showalter
Image
Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed.
Wendell Berry
Image
Compound interest is the eighth natural wonder of the world and the most powerful thing I have ever encountered.
Albert Einstein
Image
There are few positions in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered. These difficulties are, however, our best instructors, as our mistakes often form our best experience.
Edwin Paxton Hood
Image
Our reading can affect our imaginations in ways of which we are not consciously aware. It is quite common...to re-read something after a gap of many years and realize that it has been there all along, without any memory of where it was first encountered. But it may have been working away all the time.
Tom Shippey

[In response to the question Do you think that you underestimated the insurgency's strength?] I think so. I guess if I look back on it now, I don't think anybody anticipated the level of violence that we've encountered.
Dick Cheney
Image
The beautiful is in nature, and it is encountered under the most diverse forms of reality. Once it is found it belongs to art, or rather to the artist who discovers it.
Gustave Courbet
Image
The essential thing we need to understand is that the climate crisis is not some future threat, but a very present peril, the biggest one humans have ever encountered. Until we understand that, we'll dawdle.
Bill McKibben
Image
Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.
Karl Marx
