#27. Marriage, in short, is a bargain, like buying a house or entering a profession. One chooses it knowing that, by that very decision, one is abnegating other possibilities. In choosing companionship over passion, women like Beatrice Webb and Virginia Woolf made a bargain; their marriages worked because they did not regret their bargains, or blame their husbands for not being something else--dashing lovers, for example. But in writing biographies, or one's own life, it is both customary and misleading to present such marriages, to oneself or to one's reader, as sad compromises, the best of a bad bargain, or scarcely to speak of them at all. Virginia Woolf mentioned that she, who is reticent about nothing, had never spoken of her life with Leonard. but we know that she said of him that when he entered a room, she had no idea what he was going to say, a remarkable definition of a good marriage. Such marriages are not bad bargains, but the best of a good bargain, and we must learn the language to understand and describe them, particularly in writing the lives of accomplished women. #Quote by Carolyn G. Heilbrun

#28. Ring the bells that still can ring. #Quote by Leonard Cohen

#32. When I was growing up, I fetishised New York City. It was the land of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, it was where Leonard Cohen wrote 'Chelsea Hotel', it was CBGBs and all the punk rock clubs. Artists and musicians lived there, and it was cheap and dangerous. #Quote by Moby

#33. The "hole in the moral ozone" is really what's behind the hole in the ozone. #Quote by Leonard Sweet

#36. Even without comparing ourselves to the world's greatest, we set such high standards for ourselves that neither we nor anyone else could ever meet them-and nothing is more destructive to creativity than this. We fail to realize that mastery is not about perfection. It's about a process, a journey. The master is the one who stays on the path day after day, year after year. The master is the one who is willing to try, and fail, and try again, for as long as he or she lives. #Quote by George Leonard

#37. Each man must reach his own verdict, by weighing all the relevant evidence. #Quote by Leonard Peikoff

#38. Essentially, in photography, I think on two levels: one emotional and the other technical.

And the technical is having to do with composition and framing - light and dark, light and shadow. #Quote by Leonard Nimoy

#39. So never give in," continued the girl, and restated again and again the vague yet convincing plea that the Invisible lodges against the Visible.

Another note, addressed to Leonard, was inside. They read them, listening to the murmurings of the river. #Quote by E. M. Forster

#47. Facts are delusion," he said. "They are a delusion of truth as a mirage is a delusion of sight. The real facts lie in people's minds and not in fingerprints and books and photographs and all the other physical things which are only the accidents that occur as a result of what lies in the mind. Truth is a matter of the mind and all else is only a blurred shadow to reconstruct the original image. Bit it is the image we are searching for. #Quote by Leonard Holton

#48. I've been all over the world and I've never seen a statue of a critic. #Quote by Leonard Bernstein

#55. Trying to get stuff straight right at the end when you never cared all through your life. Trying to get into heaven on the affirmative action plan. #Quote by Leonard Pitts Jr.

#56. I can't discard a verse before it is written because it is the writing of the verse that produces whatever delights or interests or facets that are going to catch the light.

#57. We can only compromise so much until no solution is reached #Quote by Annie Leonard

#62. I was going to suggest some hard-won guidelines for responsible reviewing. For instance: First, as in Hippocrates, do no harm. Second, never stoop to score a point or bite an ankle. Third, always understand that in this symbiosis, you are the parasite. Fourth, look with an open heart and mind at every different kind of book with every change of emotional weather because we are reading for our lives and that could be love gone out the window or a horseman on the roof. Fifth, use theory only as a periscope or a trampoline, never a panopticon, a crib sheet or a license to kill. Sixth, let a hundred Harolds Bloom. #Quote by John Leonard

#63. Devereaux is going with our pitch."
"Hey, that's just great," I said superperkily. "Wendell's or mine?"
"Yours."
"But you want to fire me. So fire me."
"We can't fire you. They loved you. The head guy, Leonard Daly, thought you were, I quote, 'a
great kid, very courageous' and a natural to do a whispering campaign. He said you had
believability."
"That's too bad."
"Why? You're not quitting!"
I thought about it. "Not if you don't want me to. Do you?"
Go on, say it.

"No."
"No what?"
"No, we don't want you to quit."
"Ten grand more, two assistants, and charcoal suits. Take it or leave it."
Ariella swallowed. "Okay to the money, okay to the assistants, but I can't green-light charcoal
suits. Formula Twelve is Brazilian, we need carnival colors."
"Charcoal suits or I'm gone."
"Orange."
"Charcoal."
"Orange."
"Charcoal."
"Okay, charcoal."

don't care whether you have it or not.

#68. Music-wise, I listen to everything. Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman - I guess I like a lot of '70s music. #Quote by Bret McKenzie

#69. The universe is continually at its work of restructuring itself at a higher, more complex, more elegant level. The novelty, the new, more complex order, doesn't emerge from the present in a steady stream, nor at all places at the same rate. It comes, as all things do, in rhythmic waves; there will always be times and places of scarcity and stagnation and retrogression. Still, the long-term direction is clear. The intention of the universe is evolution. #Quote by George Leonard

#70. So I must say it quickly;
Whoever is in your life,
those that harm you,
those that help you;
those whom you know
and those whom you do not know --
let them off the hook,
help them off the hook.
Recognize the hook.
You are listening to radio resistance. #Quote by Leonard Cohen

#102. Energy-fire experiences take us into ourselves only that we might reach outside of ourselves. Metanoia is a de-centering experience of connected-ness and community. It is not an exercise in reciting what Jesus has done for me lately. Energy-fire ecstasy, more a buzz than a binge, takes us out of ourselves, literally. That is the meaning of the word 'ecstatic.' #Quote by Leonard Sweet

#106. The lesson I have to teach is this: Leave all creative energies uninhibited. Merely organize society to act in harmony with this lesson. Let society's legal apparatus remove all obstacles the best it can. Permit these creative know-hows freely to flow. Have faith that free men and women will respond to the Invisible Hand. This faith will be confirmed. I, Pencil, seemingly simple though I am, offer the miracle of my creation as testimony that this is a practical faith, as practical as the sun, the rain, a cedar tree, the good earth. #Quote by Leonard E. Read

#110. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. #Quote by Leonard Nimoy

#111. It will place a high value on communal life, more open leadership structures, and the contribution of all the people of God. It will be radical in its attempts to embrace biblical mandates for the life of locally based faith communities without feeling as though it has to reconstruct the first-century church in every detail. We believe the missional church will be adventurous, playful, and surprising. Leonard Sweet has borrowed the term "chaordic" to describe the missional church's inclination toward chaos and improvisation within the constraints of broadly held biblical values. It will gather for sensual-experiential-participatory worship and be deeply concerned for matters of justice-seeking and mercy-bringing. It will strive for a type of unity-in-diversity as it celebrates individual differences and values uniqueness, while also placing a high premium on community. #Quote by Michael Frost

#112. By our attitude to prayer we tell God that what was begun in the Spirit we can finish in the flesh. #Quote by Leonard Ravenhill

you need to know the God of the word. #Quote by Leonard Ravenhill

#114. A lifestyle is what you pay for; a life is what pays you. #Quote by Thomas Leonard

#115. The world is not everything Ruth. Nor is the want of men's good opinion and esteem the highest need which man has. Teach Leonard this. You would not wish his life to be one summer's day. You dared not make it so, if you had the power. Teach him to bid a noble, Christian welcome to the trials which God sends - and this is one of them. Teach him not to look on a life of struggle, and perhaps of disappointment and incompleteness, as a sad and mournful end, but as the means permitted to the heroes and warriors in the army of Christ, by which to show their faithful following. Tell him of the hard and thorny path which was trodden once by the bleeding feet of One. Think of the Saviour's life and cruel death, and of His divine faithfulness ... We have all been cowards hitherto. God help us to be so no longer! #Quote by Elizabeth Gaskell

#116. Research suggests when it comes to understanding our feelings, we humans have an odd mix of low ability and high confidence. #Quote by Leonard Mlodinow

#117. You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah #Quote by Leonard Cohen

#118. In the two weeks following the All-Star Game, baseball was largely upstaged by the events of the XXI Olympiad in Montreal, including Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci's seven perfect 10.0 scores, Bruce Jenner's record-setting decathlon triumph, and the five gold medals won by U.S. boxers Howard Davis Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, Leo Randolph, and brothers Leon and Michael Spinks - the mightiest performance of any American boxing team in Olympic history. #Quote by Dan Epstein

#119. My continued incarceration has served some good purposes. My defense committee has served as a training ground for other organizers in their defense of freedom and justice. #Quote by Leonard Peltier

#120. I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere. #Quote by Leonard Cohen

#121. Life is fragile: it thrives only in a narrow range of temperatures between freezing and boiling. How lucky that our planet is just the right distance from the sun: a little farther, and the death of the perpetual Antarctic winter - or worse - would prevail; a little closer, and the surface would truly fry anything that touched it. #Quote by Leonard Susskind

#122. If Jesus came back today, he wouldn't cleanse the temple, he'd cleanse the pulpit. #Quote by Leonard Ravenhill

#123. I know she is coming
I know she will look
And that is the longing
And this is the book. #Quote by Leonard Cohen

#124. Robert Grant, sixth headmaster at Shore, was fond of making one particular remark to the parents of students newly enrolled at the school. He liked to say, "I hope your child will be severely disappointed during his time at this school." The parents were often confused. Why would the headmaster wish for my child to be severely disappointed? Grant would explain that if a student does not experience real disappointment at school, then he will be unprepared for disappointment when it comes in real life. #Quote by Leonard Sax

#125. For the master, surrender means there are no experts. There are only learners. #Quote by George Leonard

#130. By his own assessment, he was no genius. He had "no great quickness of apprehension or wit" or "power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought." On the many occasions when I share those feelings, I find it encouraging to review those words because that Englishman did okay for himself - his name was Charles Darwin. #Quote by Leonard Mlodinow

#131. The most difficult step in the study of language is the first step. #Quote by Leonard Bloomfield

#132. I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross. #Quote by Leonard Ravenhill

#133. Dearest Shell,
If you let me I'd always keep you 400 miles away and write you pretty poems and letters ... I'm afraid to live anywhere but in expectation. #Quote by Leonard Cohen

The sausage was eaten by a dog after Vasquez tossed it away. #Quote by Leonard Birdsong

#144. World opinion, though sharply divided on nuclear tests and the risk of atmospheric pollution, could congratulate itself on being united in its opposition to cannibalism.

for putting men asleep
anointed with the poison

After 250 pages tracking moments of joy throughout history, he concludes that humans are happiest hanging with friends, gathered around tables with good food and conversation and laughter.

#166. more than parents. For most of the history of the human race, children have learned culture from the adults. That's why childhood and adolescence have to last so long in our species. But in the United States today, kids no longer learn culture from the grown-ups. American kids today have their own culture, a culture of disrespect, which they learn from their peers and which they teach to their peers. #Quote by Leonard Sax

#167. For a period of time, I carried cameras with me wherever I went, and then I realized that my interest in photography was turning toward the conceptual.

#177. I take many things seriously. Rudyard Kipling, Harper Lee, Oscar Wilde, and Elmore Leonard are all held in the highest regard. I am dead serious when I discuss the many reasons that Ernest Hemingway's greatest contribution to literature was his generous decision to take his own life.

#179. We couldn't get it off the ground as a film, but then we begin to think television, and Lowell pushed it out there and Jim and Nick were anxious to do Hap and Leonard anyway, and I had worked with them before, so it was a perfect story.

#182. What is a saint? A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love. Contact with this energy results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. A saint does not dissolve the chaos; if he did the world would have changed long ago. I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself, for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting the universe in order. It is a kind of balance that is his glory. He rides the drifts like an escaped ski. His course is a caress of the hill. His track is a drawing of the snow in a moment of its particular arrangement with wind and rock. Something in him so loves the world that he gives himself to the laws of gravity and chance. Far from flying with the angels, he traces with the fidelity of a seismograph needle the state of the solid bloody landscape. #Quote by Leonard Cohen

A separate miracle
In a collective miracle

Brought together
For a moment
By a group of notes
And a scan of words

From the heart
Of one
Who dares
To think

That others
Might feel
As he feels #Quote by Leonard Nimoy

Sugar Ray Leonard came in and Roberto Duran beat him - because we got our fair shake in Montreal. #Quote by Don King

#197. I'm not an historian but I'll venture an opinion: Modern cosmology really began with Darwin and Wallace. Unlike anyone before them, they provided explanations of our existence that completely rejected supernatural agents ... Darwin and Wallace set a standard not only for the life sciences but for cosmology as well. #Quote by Leonard Susskind

#198. A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man. #Quote by Leonard Ravenhill

#199. When I'm not in training. I'll walk around the streets at 153, but it's not solid; it's my socializing weight. #Quote by Sugar Ray Leonard

#200. He never described himself as a poet or his work as poetry. The fact that the lines do not come to the edge of the page is no guarantee. Poetry is a verdict, not an occupation. He hated to argue about the techniques of verse. The poem is a dirty, bloody, burning thing that has to be grabbed first with bare hands. Once the fire celebrated Light, the dirt Humility, the blood Sacrifice. Now the poets are professional fire-eaters, freelancing at any carnival. The fire goes down easily and honours no one in particular. #Quote by Leonard Cohen
