Ursula K. Le Guin
If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself-as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation-you may hate it, or deify it, but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality, and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality. View quote
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is of the nature of idea to be communicated: written, spoken, done. The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on. View quote
Ursula K. Le Guin
Sometimes a god comes,” Selver said. "He brings a new way to do a thing, or a new thing to be done. A new kind of singing, or a new kind of death. He brings this across the bridge between the dream-time and the world-time. When he has done this, it is done. You cannot take things that exist in the world and try to drive them back into the dream, to hold them inside the dream with walls and pretenses. That is insanity. What is, is. There is no use pretending, now, that we do not know how to kill one another. View quote
Ursula K. Le Guin

"When I was a freshman, I fooled around with shooting free throws this way: For some reason, I thought you had to stay within the top half of that free-throw circle, so I would step back to just inside the top of the circle, take off from behind the line and dunk. They outlawed that, but I wouldn't have done it in a game, anyway. I was a good free throw shooter in college." Actually he was a 62% free throw shooter, which is poor except in comparison to his 51% as a pro. View quote
Wilt Chamberlain
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end. View quote
Ramakrishna
Literary men are being employed to praise a big business man personally, as men used to praise a king. They not only find political reasons for the commercial schemes that they have done for some time past they also find moral defences for the commercial schemers... I do resent the whole age of patronage being revived under such absurd patrons; and all poets becoming court poets, under kings that have taken no oath. View quote
G. K. Chesterton
If you convey to a woman that something ought to be done, there is always a dreadful danger that she will suddenly do it. (G. K. Chesterton)
You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company. View quote
Samuel Johnson
Sir, a woman preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well but you are surprised to find it done at all. View quote
Samuel Johnson
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervor, live for it, and if need be, die for it. View quote
Alfred North Whitehead
The foundation of morality is to have done, once and for all, with lying. View quote
Thomas Henry Huxley
Man was so created by the Lord as to be able while living in the body to speak with spirits and angels, as in fact was done in the most ancient times; for, being a spirit clothed with a body, he is one with them. View quote
Emanuel Swedenborg
Each department and institution has its own authorities and responsibilities, and they act on that basis. It is wrong to even compare such actions to what is done in Guantanamo or elsewhere by the Americans. They do not stand on a high moral platform to preach to others. View quote
Hashemi Rafsanjani
The first thing you have to know about writing is that it is something you must do everyday. There are two reasons for this rule: Getting the work done and connecting with your unconscious mind. View quote
Walter Mosley
We favor hypotheses for their simplicity and explanatory power, much as the architect of the world might have done in choosing which possibility to create. View quote
Ian Hacking
Since it could be done what was the use of doing it, and anyway you always have to stop doing something sometime. View quote
Gertrude Stein
I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music. (John Frusciante)
O eloquent, just, and mighty Death! whom none could advise, thou hast persuaded; what none hath dared, thou hast done; and whom all the world hath flattered, thou only hast cast out of the world and despised; thou hast drawn together all the far-stretched greatness, all the pride, cruelty, and ambition of man, and covered it all over with these two narrow words, Hic jacet. View quote
Walter Raleigh
He that doth not as other men do, but endeavoureth that which ought to be done, shall thereby rather incur peril than preservation; for whoso laboureth to be sincerely perfect and good shall necessarily perish, living among men that are generally evil. View quote
Walter Raleigh
