Sense Quotes
-
Men in plural […] can experience meaningfulness only because they can talk with and make sense to each other and themselves.
Hannah Arendt -
When we get our sense of self from only one place, when something goes wrong and the inevitable happens, it can crush you emotionally, spiritually and physically. So it’s important not to believe you are defined by one place, one relationship or one thing, and to find ways to keep your sense of self strong.
Kat Cole
-
If a man can make typewriters better than anyone else, let us, in the name of common sense, keep him on the job of making typewriters.
William Feather -
It's like creating an artificial loop saying, 'You didn't play the game the way I wanted you to play, so now you're punished and you're going to come back and play it again until you do what I want you to do.' In an action game, I can get that – why not? It's all about skills. But in a story-driven experience it doesn't make any sense.
David Cage -
I think people are losing that sense of security pretty fast, frankly.
Avi Lewis -
Life only makes any sense if we can see time how God does. Past, present, and future all at once.
Isaac Marion -
Today I've written to the EU Commission urging an end to the "use-it-or-lose-it" rule that's leading to 'ghost planes' during this COVID-19 outbreak. Temporary relief now makes both environmental and financial sense.
Grant Shapps -
It seems to me to make as much sense to talk about literature as a large-scale human phenomenon without bringing in evolution as it does to engage in cosmology while you're thinking the universe is still geocentric.
Brian Boyd
-
I don't get a sense that your heart was in this, frankly
Chris Shays -
"Fun to drive" is a pleasant illusion in most places robustly inhabited where "safe to drive" makes much more sense.
Warren Brown -
There's a sureness to good writing even when what's being written about doesn't make all that much sense. It's the sureness of the so-called seat of an accomplished horseback rider or a sailor coming about in a strong wind. The words have both muscle and grace, familiarity and surprise.
Anne Bernays -
Confusion is what we're living with - not being able to make sense of what's happening to us from day to day. Whereas making sense is what we're aiming for - making sense.
Paul Muldoon -
It doesn't make any sense to me to start on the interior of the forest if you haven't first protected around the areas where the communities are.
Janet Napolitano -
Lives with no more sense of spiritual meaning than that provided by shopping malls, ordinary television, and stagnant workplaces are barren lives indeed. Spirituality enriches culture.
Marianne Williamson
-
If I make a decision it is a possession. I take pride in it, I tend to defend it and not listen to those who question it. If I make sense, then this is more dynamic, and I listen and I can change it. A decision is something you polish. Sensemaking is a direction for the next period.
Paul Gleason -
I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse.
Ivan Reitman -
It feels like everything's been decided in advance that I'm following a path somebody else has already mapped out for me. It doesn't matter how much I think things over, how much effort I put into it. In fact, the harder I try, the more I lose my sense of who I am. It's like my identity's an orbit that I've strayed far away from, and that really hurts. But more than that, it scares me. Just thinking about it makes me flinch.
Haruki Murakami -
Non-cooperation is an attempt to awaken the masses to a sense of their dignity and power.
Mahatma Gandhi -
When common sense sees a puzzling phenomenon it looks for a causal agent. When it sees organization it looks for an organizer. This works amazingly well for purposes ranging from the diagnosis of diseases to the creation of governments. But it cannot account for emergence ... the appearance of complex phenomena not predictable from the basic elements and processes alone.
Carl Bereiter -
Careers are what they are, they don't make any sense at all when you look back. We're not in charge of them.
Paul McGann
-
A woman's sense of self is defined through her feelings and the quality of her relationships.
John Gray -
I may not be a polished politician, but as a lifelong farmer, I know that most problems can be solved with a little common sense.
Stephen Fincher -
Apathy in general; people who are not standing up for what they believe in because somebody's got a louder mouth than them; it doesn't make any sense.
Avan Jogia -
It's important in any organization that if visions have any reality at all, it's because the organization believes that the vision is right and that they share in it. Otherwise, it becomes the good idea of one person, and that even more importantly contributes to the sense that it will not survive the departure of that individual.
