Out of the choked Devonian waters emerged sight and sound and the music that rolls invisible through the composer's brain. They are there still in the ooze along the tideline, though no one notices. The world is fixed, we say, fish in the sea, birds in the air. But in the mangrove swamps by the Niger, fish climb trees and ogle uneasy naturalists who try unsuccessfully to chase them back to the water. There are things still coming ashore. ~Loren Eiseley

The most important thing about you is what comes to your mind when you think of God. ~Aiden Wilson Tozer
#quotes #aiden-wilson-tozer #god

As a matter of selective necessity, man is an agent. He is, in his own apprehension, a centre of unfolding impulsive activity; "teleological activity." He is an agent seeking in every act the accomplishment of some concrete, objective, impersonal end. By force of being such an agent, he is possessed of a taste for effective work, and a distaste for futile effort. ~Thorstein Veblen

I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor. ~Ray Liotta
#quotes #ray-liotta #childhood #acting

I'm very independent. ~Kate Bosworth
#quotes #kate-bosworth #independence

Whenever armed forces are used, the idea of combat must be present. The end for which a soldier is recruited, clothed, armed, and trained, the whole object of his sleeping, eating, drinking, and marching is simply that he should fight at the right place and the right time. ~Carl von Clausewitz
#quotes #carl-von-clausewitz #war #military

I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success; such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything. ~Nikola Tesla
