Comfort Quotes
Art is never the voice of a country, it is an even more precious thing, the voice of the individual, doing its best to speak, not comfort of any sort, but truth. And the art that speaks it most unmistakably, most directly, most variously, most fully, is fiction.
Eudora Welty
Still, there's that faint glimmer of hope we feel when we sense, in other people, the same kind of attentiveness to life that we take comfort in. Why else would anyone watch Haneke films or read Sebald? The material is grim, but it's redeemed by the quality of the attention.
Teju Cole
I believe in Success,
And in Comfort no less
I believe all the rest is but patter.
William Allingham
We get Comfort from those who agree with us, but
we get Growth from only those who don't agree
with us !
Bill Gates
This was my only and my constant comfort. When I think of it, the picture always rises in my mind, of a summer evening, the boys at play in the churchyard, and I sitting on my bed, reading as if for life.
Charles Dickens
And when comfort is what we want, one of the most powerful tonics alternative medicine offers is the word 'natural.' This word implies a medicine untroubled by human limitations, contrived wholly by nature or God or perhaps intelligent design. What 'natural' has come to mean to us in the context of medicine is 'pure' and 'safe' and 'benign'. But the use of 'natural' as a synonym for 'good' is almost certainly a product of our profound alienation from the natural world.
Eula Biss
You see when a man knows he will be old, he is afraid: when he becomes old, he cares for nothing - love does not count, only comfort; honor does not count, only cheating for a niche.
Christina Stead
Sometimes you have to do the things that scare you and that are outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.
Morten Tyldum
While we measure our own success in terms of our personal comfort and security, the universe measures our success by how much we have learned.
Caroline Myss
Design, vitalized and simplified, will make the comforts of civilized life available to an ever-increasing number of Americans.
Raymond Loewy
Hawaii is the best form of comfort for me. When I die, I want to be cremated, and I want half my ashes spread in the Pacific around the island, the rest on the property.
Richard Pryor
The conflict between what one is and who one is expected to be touches all of us. And sometimes, rather than reach for what one could be, we choose the comfort of the failed role, preferring to be the victim of circumstance, the person who didn't have a chance.
