Absence Quotes - page 4
Dialogue cannot exist, however, in the absence of a profound love for the world and its people.
Paulo Freire
Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, and delicately balanced to provide exactly the conditions required to support life. In the absence of an absurdly improbable accident, the observations of modern science seem to suggest an underlying, one might say, supernatural plan.
Arno Allan Penzias
The world belongs to who doesn't feel. The primary condition to be a practical man is the absence of sensitivity.
Fernando Pessoa
Dogma does not mean the absence of thought, but the end of thought.
G. K. Chesterton
What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but absence of self-criticism.
G. K. Chesterton
White... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.
G. K. Chesterton
Better not to invent her in her absence. Better to wait until she's actually here. Then he can make her up as she goes along.
Margaret Atwood
The absence from the Dead Sea Scrolls of historical texts proper should not surprise us. Neither in the inter-Testamental period, nor in earlier biblical times, was the recording of history as we understand it a strong point among the Jews.
Geza Vermes
These were everyday sounds magnified by darkness. And darkness was nothing - it was not a substance, it was not a presence, it was no more than an absence of light.
Ian McEwan
Freedom can be manifested only in the void of beliefs, in the absence of axioms, and only where the laws have no more authority than a hypothesis.
Emil Cioran
Happiness and strength endure only in the absence of hate. To hate alone is the road to disaster. To love is the road to strength. To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very well be the greatest secret in this universe.
L. Ron Hubbard
"What is love?"; "The total absence of fear," said the Master; "What is it we fear?"; "Love," said the Master.
Anthony de Mello
Silence is not the absence of sound, but the absence of self.
Anthony de Mello
The clear and simple words of common usage are always better than those of erudition. The jargon of the philosophers not seldom conceals an absence of thought.
André Maurois
Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It's the mastery of fear. It's about getting up one more time than we fall down.
Arianna Huffington
And death? I don't fear death. I dread the absence of it.
Robert Charles Wilson
Peace must be more than the absence of war.
Helmut Kohl
I realize now how lucky I was, in the total absence of role models, to have only men to rebel against. Today's women students are meeting their oppressors in dangerously seductive new form, as successful congenial female professors who view themselves as victims of a rigid foreign ideology.
Camille Paglia
Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict -- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.
Dorothy Thompson
We have parts of our system which are overwhelmed by regulation. It wasn't the absence of regulation that was the problem. It was despite the presence of regulation you got huge risks built up.
Timothy Geithner
Courage is not the absence of fear but the awareness that something else is more important.
Stephen Covey
Nothing reopens the springs of love so fully as absence, and no absence so thoroughly as that which must needs be endless.
Anthony Trollope
