Non-being Quotes

Quotations
Quote of the Day

Clay is moulded to form a cup, But it is on its non-being that the utility of the cup depends. Doors and windows are cut out to make a room, But it is on its non-being that the utility of the room depends. Therefore turn being into advantage, and turn non-being into utility.

Lot of the scripts I've been in with other non-white actors haven't been great. Lot of non-white actors ain't all that great.
View quotes by Wesley Snipes

Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being (The Courage To Be)
View quotes by Paul Tillich

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
View quotes by Lao Tzu

Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death.
View quotes by Horace

When to the Permanent is sacrificed the Mutable, the prize is yours: the drop returns from where it came. The Open Path leads to the changeless change - Non-Being, the glorious state of Absoluteness, the Bliss past human thought.
View quotes by Alexander Pope

Being 'contented' ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.

On his own history with mathematics, and connection with John Nash: 'I had a bit of a hiccup in the third year of high school. The school I was at hired a non-English speaking Hungarian who was a professional of some great standing in Eastern Europe. But he hadn't learned the English language yet. He probably is a great asset to the teaching staff now, but we were his first class. That was when mathematics and I parted ways.

'There's a lot of mathematics in music. It's all in groups of eight, mate, y'know. The one thing that I may have in common with John is that the subject matter I do know, the driving part of my life, my work life, there's a point where structure and scaffolding is left behind and intuition takes over. That's the difference between John and the next 100 mathematicians. He's fully prepared to leave the scaffolding behind and get into the ether of the equation and find the answer quicker. The bane of his existence, however, is finding the proof.'

Cucullus non facit monachum (Latin: The cowl does not make the monk).
View quotes by William Shakespeare

Besides the noble art of getting things done there is the art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.
View quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.

View quotes by Albert Camus

The buttocks are the most aesthetically pleasing part of the body because they are non-functional. Although they conceal an essential orifice, these pointless globes are as near as the human form can ever come to abstract art.
View quotes by Kenneth Tynan

Good taste is the first refuge of the non-creative. It is the last-ditch stand of the artist.
View quotes by Marshall McLuhan

Advertising is a non-moral force, like electricity, which not only illuminates but electrocutes. Its worth to civilization depends upon how it is used.
View quotes by J Walter Thompson

He turns round to Kaluwitharana and asks him what I'm bowling. Kalu says offspin. Border hits the next one, but he's not confident. He asks Dean Jones, the non-striker, what I'm doing, and he says legbreaks. [on Border's reaction to playing him]

As strange as this may sound, I very seldom read fiction. Because my novels require so much research, almost everything I read is non-fiction-histories, biographies, translations of ancient texts.
