Stops Quotes - page 6

A lot of places I go are dangerous, like Tel Aviv or Rio, but that never stops me from going there and putting on a show. I have good security. I don't worry about that. (Madonna (entertainer))
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become. View quote
W. H. Auden
An image of thought called philosophy has been formed historically and it effectively stops people from thinking. View quote
Gilles Deleuze
To me, it's always a joy to create music no matter what it takes to actually get there. The real evils are always whatever stops you from doing that - like if your CPU is spiking and you have to sit there and bounce all your MIDI to audio. Now that's annoying! View quote
Skrillex
Say what we will, death is the best thing nature has found to please everyone. With each of us, everything vanishes, everything stops forever. What an advantage, what an abuse! Without the least effort on our part, we own the universe, we drag it into our own disappearance. No doubt about it, dying is immoral... View quote
Emil Cioran
But I have seen the unknown dead, those little men of the Republic. It was they who woke me up. If a stranger, an enemy, becomes a thing like that when he dies, if one stops short and is afraid to walk over him, it means that even beaten our enemy is someone, that after having shed his blood, one must placate it, give this blood a voice, justify the man who shed it. Looking at certain dead is humiliating. One has the impression that the same fate that threw these bodies to the ground holds us nailed to the spot to see them, to fill our eyes with the sight. It's not fear, not our usual cowardice. One feels humiliated because one understands–touching it with one's eyes–that we might be in their place ourselves: there would be no difference, and if we live we owe it to this dirtied corpse. That is why every war is a civil war; every fallen man resembles one who remains and calls him to account. View quote
Cesare Pavese
One stops being a child when one realizes that telling one's trouble does not make it any better. View quote
Cesare Pavese
This Caesarean madness stops at no barrier. Without compunction it rides roughshod over those achievements of the past which have all too often had to be purchased with the heart's blood of the people. It is always ready to smother with brutal violence the last rights and the last liberties which might interfere with its plans for holding all social activities within the rigid forms set by its will. This is the great danger which threatens us today and which immediately confronts us. The success or failure of monopolistic capitalistic power plans will determine the structure of the social life of the near future. View quote
Rudolf Rocker
There is no happiness without forgetfulness. I have never known a real man of action to be unhappy during action. How could he be? Like a child at play, he stops thinking of himself. View quote
André Maurois
There is a level of grief so deep that it stops resembling grief at all. The pain becomes so severe that the body can no longer feel it. The grief cauterizes itself, scars over, prevents inflated feeling. Such numbness is a kind of mercy. View quote
Elizabeth Gilbert
I had auditory sensory problems and touch sensitivity problems, I had no problems with my vision. Other people absolutely cannot stand fluorescent lighting and they're sometimes helped by a thing called the Irlen colored glasses where you try on all kinds of different pale colored glasses until it's easier to read. It stops the problem of the print jiggling on the page. (Temple Grandin)
Fool! All that is, at all, Lasts ever, past recall; Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure: What entered into thee, That was, is, and shall be: Time's wheel runs back or stops: Potter and clay endure. View quote
Robert Browning
There are more than two chances– many more. I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance. View quote
Jeanette Winterson
I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy. View quote
Jeanette Winterson
If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed. View quote
Ernest Hemingway
I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding. View quote
Robin Hobb
The saddest day in the world will be the one when she stops pretending. View quote
Jodi Picoult
Bach is, for me, the touchstone that keeps my playing honest. Keeping the intonation pure in double stops, bringing out the various voices where the phrasing requires it, crossing the strings so that there are not inadvertent accents, presenting the structure in such a way that it's clear to the listener without being pedantic - one can't fake things in Bach, and if one gets all of them to work, the music sings in the most wonderful way. View quote
Hilary Hahn
I don't condemn anyone for making their choices. If someone chooses those roles, fine. But not for me. When someone stops me and says, You're the reason I became an actress, that lets me know I made the right decision. View quote
Cicely Tyson
After a while you learn that everything stops. View quote
Bret Easton Ellis
The worst of men is he who stops his contributions to charity, eats by himself, and whips his slave. (Ali al-Rida)
You don't even realise how much you need Internet, but it really stops you from doing a lot. View quote
Millie Bobby Brown
This is our time. Until that time stops - for one of us, for both – it is our time. Now. Will you waste it, because you are afraid? View quote
Diana Gabaldon
May the Gods, if they did not die of boredom, never give you one of those flat kingdoms to govern; may lead you through mountain paths; may they give you for a companion a good Andalusian mule with eyes like wells, a brow like an anvil, and who stops dead in his tracks because he sees the shadow his ears make on the road in front of him. View quote
Émile Chartier
Grief, as I read somewhere once, is a lazy Susan. One day it is heavy and underwater, and the next day it spins and stops at loud and rageful, and the next day at wounded keening, and the next day numbness, silence. View quote
Anne Lamott
