Famous quotes containing the word energies:
“Yet there is a mystery here and it is not one that I understand: without the sting of otherness, of—even—the vicious, without the terrible energies of the underside of health, sanity, sense, then nothing works or can work. I tell you that goodness-what we in our ordinary daylight selves call goodness: the ordinary, the decent—these are nothing without the hidden powers that pour forth continually from their shadow sides. Their hidden aspects contained and tempered.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“Railroad iron is a magician’s rod, in its power to evoke the sleeping energies of land and water.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Let a human being throw the energies of his soul into the making of something, and the instinct of workmanship will take care of his honesty.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
