Moves Quotes - page 4

To have peace and not war, the drift toward a war economy, as facilitated by the moves and the demands of the sophisticated conservatives, must be stopped; to have peace without slump, the tactics and policies of the practical right must be overcome. The political and economic power of both must be broken. The power of these giants of main drift is both economically and politically anchored; both unions and an independent labor party are needed to struggle effective. (C. Wright Mills)
If history moves forward, knowledge of it travels backwards, so that in writing of our own recent past we are continually meeting ourselves coming the other way. View quote
Terry Eagleton
In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves. View quote
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
all our moves are based on four general principles: continued use of the rifle, no waiving of historical rights, no peace, and no negotiations... Whatever form of government is established in the territory when the shadow of occupation passes away, whenever I address my fighters and revolutionaries, I shall say: ‘Let our rifles be aimed at the beloved land, the land of the homeland, the land of Palestine.

Yasser Arafat
But helpless Pieces of the Game He plays Upon this Checker-board of Nights and Days Hither and thither moves, and checks, and slays, And one by one back in the Closet lays. View quote
Omar Khayyám
The eyelids confess, and reject, and refuse to reject. They have expressed all things ever since man was man. And they express so much by seeming to hide or to reveal that which indeed expresses nothing. For there is no message from the eye. It has direction, it moves, in the service of the sense of sight; it receives the messages of the world. But expression is outward, and the eye has it not. There are no windows of the soul, there are only curtains. View quote
Alice Meynell
The innocent moon, that nothing does but shine, Moves all the labouring surges of the world. View quote
Francis Thompson
Not a single leaf moves in this country if I'm not the one moving it. View quote
Augusto Pinochet
Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark. View quote
Arthur Schopenhauer
Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it, while every pessimist would keep the world at a standstill. The consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation is the same as in the life of the individual. Pessimism kills the instinct that urges men to struggle against poverty, ignorance and crime, and dries up all the fountains of joy in the world. View quote
Helen Keller
Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn't just "trusting in God" to give me the moves. (Bobby Fischer)
So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

William Cullen Bryant
Thought and theory must precede all action that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory. View quote
William Wordsworth
That heareth not the loud winds when they call, And moveth all together, if it moves at all. View quote
William Wordsworth
Oh, swiftly glides the bonnie boat, Just parted from the shore, And to the fisher's chorus-note, Soft moves the dipping oar! View quote
Joanna Baillie
If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions, then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad, and yet potentially joyous, state of America. View quote
Louis Farrakhan
Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving. View quote
B. C. Forbes
The world moves into the future as a result of decisions, not as a result of plans. Plans are significant only insofar as they affect decisions. View quote
Kenneth Boulding
Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be. View quote
Patrick Rothfuss
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. View quote
Edward FitzGerald (poet)
If it is a dying craft we can't do anything about it. Civilisation moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able to do the same job for 40 years. That's rare in any era. (Hayao Miyazaki)
Nothing moves except my eyes and my hand occasionally turning a page, and yet something not exactly defined by the word "text" unfurls, progresses, grows and takes root as I read. But how does this process take place? View quote
Alberto Manguel
I have seen that Man moves over with each new generation into a bigger body, more awful, more reverent and more free than he has had before. View quote
Gerald Stanley Lee
I confess to a rare problem-gynekinetophobia, or the fear of women falling on me-but this is a rather mild illness compared with many affluent suburbanites, who have developed an almost total zoophobia, or fear of anything that moves. It is, as any traveller can confirm, a complaint best developed in the affluent North American, and it seems to be part of blue toilet dyes, air fresheners, lots of paper tissues, and two showers a day. View quote
Bill Mollison
Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away. View quote
Frida Kahlo
