#2. It has been observed before that images, however beautiful, though faithfully copied from nature, and as accurately represented in words, do not of themselves characterize the poet. They become proofs of original genius only as far as they are modified by a predominant passion; or by associated thoughts or images awakened by that passion; or when they have the effect of reducing multitude to unity, or succession to an instant; or lastly, when a human and intellectual life is transferred to them from the poet's spirit. #Quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

on with your life, knowing it was part of
you. #Quote by Lisa Kleypas

#86.

#153. I loved the old stories in National Lampoon, like the original story the movie Vacation was based on. I used to laugh at them until I cried. #Quote by Drew Carey

#154. I embraced Hinduism because it was the only religion in the world that is compatible with National Socialism. And the dream of my life is to integrate Hitlerism into the old Aryan Tradition, to show that it is really a resurgence of the original Tradition. It's not Indian, not European, but Indo-European. It comes from back to those days when the Aryans were one people near the North Pole. The Hyperborean Tradition. #Quote by Savitri Devi

#155. Subsequent to the original Quicken, the whole idea that we, as a consumer products company, could actually make business products, that was a whole revolution in our thinking. #Quote by Scott Cook

#156. Powder snow skiing is not fun. It is life, fully lived, life lived in a blaze of reality. What we experience in powder is the original human self, which lies deeply inside each of us, still undamaged in spite of what our present culture tries to do to us. Once experienced, this kind of living is recognized as the only way to live - fully aware of the earth and the sky and the gods and you, the mortal, playing among them. #Quote by Dolores LaChapelle

#158. I often think people don't know what to think of me, and in fact this is precisely the objective of many of my creations. Even back in the days with Lady Starlight, my original partner, we aimed to bemuse. This feeling of bemusement - it's neither good nor bad. It just is. Whether critics realize it or not, they've been in a very long argument since my public birth. #Quote by Lady Gaga

#159. An opinion, though it is original, does not necessarily differ from the accepted opinion; the important thing is that it does not try to conform to it. #Quote by Andre Gide

#160. Sinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh year it disappears with even the original stock. #Quote by Chanakya

#161. I got like a list of things at the beginning. There were ten things that Bryan made for each one of us, and he drew us our own personal picture of our character that was in color.

#165. This was only Taika Watiti fourth film [Hunt for the Wilderpeople], but I think he brings a very original way of looking at stuff and I think if you look at Boy, for instance, which is a beautiful film, that was his second feature, and it's heartbreakingly sad, but it's also simultaneously very funny. There are not many people who can do that. #Quote by Sam Neill

#166. Maybe one way I am original is that at heart I really am a classical actor. I haven't had my chance yet in the commercial world to show that. Movies aren't really made about classical people so much any more. #Quote by Christopher Reeve

#168. It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox. #Quote by Carl Jung

By leaving, one gains a perspective, a distance of both space and time, which is essential for writing about family or home, in any case. #Quote by Rabih Alameddine

#170. The character we exhibit in the latter half of our life need not necessarily be, though it often is, our original character, developed further, dried up, exaggerated, or diminished. It can be its exact opposite, like a suit worn inside out. #Quote by Marcel Proust

#171. English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese. #Quote by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

#172. History thus becomes largely a study of character. Insight into temperament is hardly less important than the probing of "original materials." #Quote by Charles Francis Adams, Jr.

#173. You are the architect of your own life. #Quote by Henry Thomas Hamblin

#174. God makes it clear that his image bearers must live in dynamic communion with one another, thereby discovering and celebrating the good gift of one's own gender and that of the other. With a cross-shaped lens, we behold the beauty of man for woman and woman for man. None of us has ever lost that original design. No matter how broken we have become, we have never lost the potential to be good gifts for others! #Quote by Andrew Comiskey

#175. Once I grew up and realised 'What am I doing?' I started re-listening to the music I was playing and I realised there was so much finesse - it was dynamic and simple but I wanted to be authentic to the original songs. #Quote by Eric Hernandez

#176. The grace is being able to like rock music,
symphony music, jazz ...
anything that contains the original energy of
joy. #Quote by Charles Bukowski

#177. My notion of a failed writing workshop is when everybody comes out replicating the teacher and imitating as closely as possible the great original at the head of the table. I think that's a mistake, in obvious opposition to the ideal of teaching which permits a student to be someone other than the teacher ... The successful teacher has to make each of the students a different product rather than the same. #Quote by Nicholas Delbanco

#178. I have thought about Happy Days made into a movie. As far as the original cast not being a part of it, wow, I don't know who could be who! I just don't see it going in that direction. I can see the original cast doing the movie very easily though. #Quote by Erin Moran

#179. Original sin is that thing about man which makes him capable of conceiving of his own perfection and incapable of achieving it. #Quote by Reinhold Niebuhr

#181. Use original detail in your writing. Life is so rich, if you can write down the real details of the way things were and are, you hardly need anything else. #Quote by Natalie Goldberg

#182. Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private. #Quote by Allen Ginsberg

#183. To me, then, true criticism consists in trying to find out the intrinsic worth of the thing itself, and not in attributing a quality to that thing. You attribute a quality to an environment, to an experience, only when you want to derive something from it, when you want to gain or to have power or happiness. Now this destroys true criticism. Your desire is perverted through attributing values, and therefore you cannot see clearly. Instead of trying to see the flower in its original and entire beauty, you look at it through coloured glasses, and therefore you can never see it as it is. #Quote by Jiddu Krishnamurti

#184. Am I reserved? I think I agree with that. I don't think I'm particularly original. I am quite homey, though. But then I'm also quite transient. I quite like being nomadic. #Quote by Carey Mulligan

#185. We always worry that we are copying someone else, that we don't have our own style. Don't worry. Writing is a communal act. Contrary to popular belief, a writer is not Prometheus alone on a hill full of fire. We are very arrogant to think we alone have a totally original mind. We are carried on the backs of all the writers who came before us. We live in the present with all the history, ideas, and soda pop of this time. It all gets mixed up in our writing. #Quote by Natalie Goldberg

#186. Nothing exists without a cause, the original cause of this universe we call God. #Quote by David Hume

#187. As the people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived, it seems strictly consonant to the republican theory, to recur to the same original authority, not only whenever it may be necessary to enlarge, diminish, or new-model the powers of the government, but also whenever any one of the departments may commit encroachments on the chartered authorities of the others. #Quote by James Madison

#188. The original state for all Beings is Love. Out troubles are due only to our covering over thus natural state. #Quote by Lester Levenson

#189. Most novels, if they are successful at all, are original in the sense that they report the existence of an area of society, a type of person, not yet admitted to the general literate consciousness. #Quote by Doris Lessing

#190. Every word instantly becomes a concept precisely insofar as it is not supposed to serve as a reminder of the unique and entirely individual original experience to which it owes its origin; but rather, a word becomes a concept insofar as it simultaneously has to fit countless more or less similar cases
which means, purely and simply, cases which are never equal and thus altogether unequal. #Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

#191. Once the fired stone is out of the kiln, it is still possible to mentally reconstruct it in its original form. #Quote by Andy Goldsworthy

#192. The rabbit is significant in that the handle on the original South Pointing Chariot was carved in the form of a rabbit. Because the handle extended out front it meant that wherever the rabbit went the chariot had to follow. #Quote by Kit Williams

#196. I've played a bunch of different versions of Walter [from Fringe].I loved it when he was being random, which was probably the original version of him, more than anyone else. I loved doing Walter then, and all of the different mental states that we've played. #Quote by John Noble

#197. (3) 'IS IT A SYSTEM ... ?' ... Ultimately, I suspect, this is a question about which the reader should form his own judgement by study of the original text. #Quote by Raymond Keene

#198. True creativity is fresh, but not always original. #Quote by Steven Furtick

#199. Because ideas have to be original only with regard to their adaptation to the problem at hand, I am always extremely interested in how others have used used them ... #Quote by Thomas A. Edison
