Soul Quotes
-
The human soul, by once suffering as much as it is capable of, purchases a strange and terrible immunity to all the rest of life's sorrows.
Agnes Sligh Turnbull
-
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
-
Conflict is necessary for growth. But too often conflict becomes a haven for the soul. Until one day, the soul can no longer free itself. In real growth the soul learns to fly rather than having the ego inflated with praise from accomplishments as if it were a balloon. Only because it buys time, do we develop a strong and protective ego. This is the early stage in the soul’s evolution, until such time when the soul hatches out of its shell, which is the ego, into a new world in which there is incomparable beauty.
Eugene J. Martin
-
True happiness is impossible without solitude.... I need solitude in my life as I need food and drink and the laughter of little children. Extravagant though it may sound, solitude is the filter of my soul. It nourishes me, and rejuvenates me. Left alone, I discovered that I keep myself good company.
Sofia Villani Scicolone
-
Illusions are to the soul what atmosphere is to the earth.
Virginia Woolf
-
Wilderness, to me, is a spiritual necessity. The mysterious spiritual experience of being close to natural restored my soul after the death of his son. My experience reinforced by dedication to use the art of photography as an inspiration for others to work together to save nature's places of spiritual sanctuary for future generations.
Clyde Butcher
-
There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?
Rumi
-
Praise Him early, praise Him late, for our high and holy state; born, baptized, redeem'd forever, nought but sin our souls can sever from the Saviour who has bought us, from the Spirit who has taught us. Lord! renew us day by day, never let us fall away.
Cecil Frances Alexander
-
It's gotta be fun, if it's not fun it's not worth doing. Music is about having a good time feeling your soul, whether it makes you laugh or it makes you cry, just so long as you feel as much as you can. That's the mission of Pono.
Neil Young
Buffalo Springfield
-
Violent pleasures which reach the soul through the body are generally of this sort-they are reliefs of pain.
Plato
-
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door; but the Spirit is He that makes this key.
William Gurnall
-
From this point on, she whispered, we will either find or lose our souls.
Michael Ondaatje
-
She is trying to control me with fear, because she cannot control me any other way.
My eyes open wide. They burn as if they are on fire—no, as if they are made of fire. Eyes are the window to the soul.
Beth Revis
-
As a radio personality, I'm a public servant, we all should be public servants in some way shape or form. I feel like my soul purpose is to be of service to others.
Charlamagne Tha God
-
It's a dark, cool, quiet place. A basement in your soul. And that place can sometimes be dangerous to the human mind. I can open the door and enter that darkness, but I have to be very careful. I can find my story there. Then I bring that thing to the surface, into the real world.
Haruki Murakami
-
The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the physical presence.
Honore de Balzac
-
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
-
To go on and on about your soul is to miss the whole point of life. I could say that with more certainty if I knew the whole point of life.
Sheila Heti
-
I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!
Ansel Adams
-
Many times man lives and dies
Betweeen his two eternities,
That of race and that of soul,
And ancient Ireland knew it all.
Whether man die in his bed
Or the rifle knocks him dead
William Butler Yeats
-
But let there be no misunderstanding: it is not that a real man, the object of knowledge, philosophical reflection or technological intervention, has been substituted for the soul, the illusion of theologians. The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body.
Michel Foucault
-
The best thing you can hope for, when you make a movie and you put your soul into it, is that people respond to it well.
Natalie Portman
