Contact Quotes - page 2

Love is a command, not just a feeling. Somehow, in the romantic world of music and theater we have made love to be what it is not. We have so mixed it with beauty and charm and sensuality and contact that we have robbed it of its higher call of cherishing and nurturing. (Ravi Zacharias)
No battle plan survives contact with the enemy. View quote
Colin Powell
Life without music is unthinkable. Life without music is academic. That is why my contact with music is a total embrace. View quote
Leonard Bernstein
Through play, we renew contact with childhood - My art is childlike. View quote
Karel Appel
We should leave behind discrimination, because it is narrow-minded and ignorant, denies contact and warmth, and corrodes mankind's belief that we can better ourselves. The only way to avoid misunderstanding, war, and bloodshed is to defend freedom of expression and to communicate with sincerity, concern, and good intentions. View quote
Ai Weiwei
Take inventory of everyone with whom you have contact. View quote
Bruce Lee
Contact with like-minded painters – a group means a great deal to me: nothing comes in isolation. We have worked out our ideas largely by talking them through. Shutting myself away in the country, for instance, would do nothing for me. One depends on one's surroundings. And so the exchange with other artists – and especially the collaboration with Lueg and Polke – matters a lot to me: it is part of the input that I need. View quote
Gerhard Richter
There are a few editor men with whom I am privileged to come in contact. It has not been long since it was their habit to come in contact with me. There is a difference. View quote
O. Henry
He acts without contact, instructs without meeting, guides without pointing. Desires do not conflict with Him, thoughts do not mingle with Him: His essence is without qualification (takyeef), His action without effort (takleef). View quote
Mansur Al-Hallaj
What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it. View quote
Jiddu Krishnamurti
[Speaking about same-sex marriage] It's about familiarity, and I think the only reason they're uncomfortable with the notion of same-sex marriages is because they haven't come into contact with gay and lesbian couples enough to understand that it's about love-and that it is a civil right. (Jennifer Beals)
There is a healthful hardiness about real dignity that never dreads contact and communion with others however humble. View quote
Washington Irving
To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit. View quote
Irving Langmuir
Artaud sought to remove aesthetic distance, bringing the audience into direct contact with the dangers of life. By turning theatre into a place where the spectator is exposed rather than protected, Artaud was committing an act of cruelty upon them. View quote
Antonin Artaud
I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it. View quote
Jamie Oliver
I like teaching and the contact with young minds keeps one on one's toes. View quote
Aaron Klug
The analysis of laughter had opened to me points of contact between the fundamentals of a communal and disciplined emotional knowledge and those of discursive knowledge. View quote
Georges Bataille
Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it. View quote
Anaïs Nin
Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me. View quote
Jim Elliot
No, what worries me is that I might in a sense adapt to this environment and come to be comfortable here and not resent it anymore. And I am afraid that as the years go by that I may forget, I may begin to lose my memories of the mountains and the woods and that's what really worries me, that I might lose those memories, and lose that sense of contact with wild nature in general. But I am not afraid they are going to break my spirit. View quote
Theodore Kaczynski
No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. Not when the enemy is me. (Lois McMaster Bujold)
We live in a small world. Not a leaf falls that doesn't affect a myriad of things. When we reach out to someone in love and the effect is made - everyone, everything which comes in contact with the person we've effected is better for it. Of course, the converse is true, too. View quote
Leo Buscaglia
Intuition is light itself, and when it is functioning, the world is seen as light and the light bodies of all forms become gradually apparent. This brings with it the ability to contact the light centre in all forms, and thus again an essential relationship is established and the sense of superiority and separateness recedes into the background. View quote
Alice Bailey
By health I mean the power to live a full, adult, living, breathing life in close contact with what I love - the earth and the wonders thereof - the sea - the sun. View quote
Katherine Mansfield
Inspiration is God making contact with itself. View quote
Ram Dass
