Souls Quotes
-
All are to be men of genius in their degree,--rivulets or rivers, it does not matter, so that the souls be clear and pure; not dead walls encompassing dead heaps of things, known and numbered, but running waters in the sweet wilderness of things unnumbered and unknown, conscious only of the living banks, on which they partly refresh and partly reflect the flowers, and so pass on.
John Ruskin
-
We should worry about our own souls first and trust in God's plan for others.
James Cook
-
The external evils are nothing compared to the evils that we harbor in our souls.
Ella Leya
-
Why is it that a connection that seems to have nothing to do with looks—because it feels so much deeper than that, like a connection of minds and souls—is actually entirely dependent on looks?
Amanda Filipacchi
-
I closed my eyes and listened carefully for the descendants of Sputnik, even now circling the earth, gravity their only tie to the planet. Lonely metal souls in the unimpeded darkness of space, they meet, pass each other, and part, never to meet again. No words passing between them. No promises to keep.
Haruki Murakami

Faith and hope...are the wings by which our souls, rising above the world, are lifted up to God.
John Calvin
-
There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.
Victor Hugo
-
Kind words produce their images on men's souls.
Blaise Pascal
-
May I reach That purest heaven - be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony; Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty. Be the sweet presence of a good diffused, And in the diffusion ever more intense! So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world.
George Eliot
-
This miserable way
is taken by the sorry souls of those
who lived without disgrace and without praise.
They now commingle with the coward angels,
the company of those who were not rebels
nor faithful to their God, but stood apart.
The heavens, that their beauty not be lessened,
have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them -
even the wicked cannot glory in them.
Dante Alighieri
-
True love is your souls recognition of its counterpoint in another.
Owen Wilson
-
...like the 75 billion souls who lived before him, each and every one a treasure, he, too, will die.
Brad Sherwood
-
Great souls are always loyally submissive, reverent to what is over them: only small mean souls are otherwise.
Thomas Carlyle
-
The wonder is not that so many people have sick or battered souls, but that they think they have souls at all.
Nicholas Samstag
-
Work is where we build character. Work is where we create value with our lives and lift up our own souls. Work, properly understood, is the sacred practice of offering up our talents for the service of others.
Benjamin E. Sasse
-
The spirits, he said, the souls. They are not angry at the living, they just want to help. Helping others is the only way we can prove we still matter.
Ekaterina Sedia
-

Carrie Fletcher
-
Sex contains all, Bodies, Souls, meanings, proofs, purities, delicacies, results, promulgations, Songs, commands, health, pride, the maternal mystery, the seminal milk; All hopes, benefactions, bestowals, All the passions, loves, beauties, delights of the earth, All the governments, judges, gods, follow'd persons of the earth, These are contain'd in sex, as parts of itself, and justifications of itself.
Walt Whitman
