Condition Quotes
-
To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.
Robert Frost
-
Writers and filmakers, that is, people who describe the world, suffer from an occupational disease. They never experience moments in life quite spontaneously. You always look at yourself from the outside. Even as a child I always observed myself and the world. I believe that everyone who chooses this path in any way, who chooses to be a describer of life, suffers from this condition. It's like a mental obsession. It can be a great pity too. It robs you of a certain joy in spontaneity.
Michael Haneke
-
Lawyers should be chosen because they can demonstrate a history rich in human traits, the ability to care, the courage to fight, the will to win, a concern for the human condition, a passion for justice and simple uncompromising honesty. These are the traits of the lawyer.
Gerry Spence

When you realize that there's a name and a description for this condition that you thought was insanity, you've identified the problem, and now you can do something about it.

It is more important to know the person who has the condition than it is to know the condition the person has.
Hippocrates

Goneness. It sounds like a condition because it is. It's not a blank space waiting to be filled, but a deep hole that will forever be a hole- a cruel, carved-out crater or violently dug indentation, a chasm left by something that has been removed.
Allison Moorer
-
A church has no right to make anything a condition of membership, which Christ has not made a condition of salvation.
Archibald Alexander Hodge
-
Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin!
Salvador Dali
-
Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.
Rumi
-
Variety is the condition of harmony.
Thomas Carlyle
-
What do I mean by sin? Answer: Any human condition or act that robs God of glory by stripping one of His children of their right to divine dignity. ... I can offer still another answer: 'Sin is any act or thought that robs myself or another human being of his or her self-esteem'.
Robert H. Schuller
-
If you start to think of your physical and moral condition, you usually find that you are sick.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Enlightenment is not so much a hard-won achievement, much less a "creation," but instead is deep relaxation and recovery of our natural condition. You come to see the evolution of the soul, the soul's journey, as a realization of what has always been there in the first place.
Alex Grey
-
She had gone to sleep on these facts years ago, after a period of much misery, her head resting on them as on a pillow; and she had a great dread of being awakened out of so simple and untroublesome a condition. Therefore it was that she searched with earnestness for a heading under which to put Mrs. Wilkins, and in this way illumine and steady her own mind; and sitting there looking at her uneasily after her last remark, and feeling herself becoming more and more unbalanced and infected, she decided pro tem, as the vicar said at meetings, to put her under the heading Nerves. It was just possible that she ought to go straight into the category Hysteria, which was often only the antechamber to Lunacy, but Mrs. Arbuthnot had learned not to hurry people into their final categories, having on more than one occasion discovered with dismay that she had made a mistake; and how difficult it had been to get them out again, and how crushed she had been with the most terrible remorse. Yes.
Elizabeth von Arnim
