Now one of the things you can do with man is to get him to look up and find out that he can look through the shadows and look at the shadows and find out what they are. L. Ron Hubbard Quotes

The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near. Saul Bellow Quotes

There are four types of persons, the ‘dead’, who deny the Lord and declare that they alone exist, independent and self-directed, the ‘sick’, who call upon the Lord when some calamity befalls them or when they feel temporarily deserted by the unusual source of succor, the ‘dull’, who know that God is the eternal companion and watchman, but who remember it only off and on when the idea is potent and powerful, and lastly the ‘healthy’, who have steady belief in the Lord and who live in His Comforting Creative Presence always”.

The existence of ghouls has been disputed by that class of controversialists who are more concerned to deprive the world of comforting beliefs than to give it anything good in their place. In 1640 Father Secchi saw one in a cemetery near Florence and frightened it away with the sign of the cross. He describes it as gifted with many heads an an uncommon allowance of limbs, and he saw it in more than one place at a time. The good man was coming away from dinner at the time and explains that if he had not been "heavy with eating" he would have seized the demon at all hazards. Atholston relates that a ghoul was caught by some sturdy peasants in a churchyard at Sudbury and ducked in a horsepond. (He appears to think that so distinguished a criminal should have been ducked in a tank of rosewater.) The water turned at once to blood "and so contynues unto ys daye." The pond has since been bled with a ditch. As late as the beginning of the fourteenth century a ghoul was cornered in the crypt of the cathedral at Amiens and the whole population surrounded the place. Twenty armed men with a priest at their head, bearing a crucifix, entered and captured the ghoul, which, thinking to escape by the stratagem, had transformed itself to the semblance of a well known citizen, but was nevertheless hanged, drawn and quartered in the midst of hideous popular orgies. The citizen whose shape the demon had assumed was so affected by the sinister occurrence that he never again showed himself in Amiens and his fate remains a mystery. Ambrose Bierce Quotes
We will now discuss in a little more detail the struggle for existence. Charles Darwin Quotes
When one looks back over human existence, however, it is very evident that all culture has developed through an initial resistance against adaptation to the reality in which man finds himself Beatrice Hinkle Quotes
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Quotes
For all his learning or sophistication, man still instinctively reaches towards that force beyond. Only arrogance can deny its existence, and the denial falters in the face of evidence on every hand. In every tuft of grass, in every bird, in every opening bud, there it is. Hal Borland Quotes
I exist in a state of almost perpetual hysteria. Sting Quotes
My aim is to argue that the universe can come into existence without intervention, and that there is no need to invoke the idea of a Supreme Being in one of its numerous manifestations Peter William Atkins Quotes

When one subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation), sleep, eating and swilling, buttoning and unbuttoning - how much remains of downright existence? The summer of a dormouse. Lord Byron Quotes
The whole existence is simple, but man's mind has been cultivated, conditioned, educated, programmed in such a way that the simplest thing becomes crooked. The moment it reaches to your mind it is no longer simple. The mind starts interpreting it, finding things in it which are not there, ignoring things which are there. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh Quotes
I have always lived with the awareness of the impossibility of living. And what has made existence endurable to me is my curiosity as to how I would get from one minute, one day, one year to the next. Emile M. Cioran Quotes

A lot of people come to me and they say, 'I want to live a more eco-friendly existence, but I just don't know what steps to take, it just seems so overwhelming,' Danny Seo Quotes
Nature does not loathe virtue: it is unaware of its existence Francoise Mallet-Joris Quotes
Every moment of one's existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit. Norman Mailer Quotes
Despite the amount of suffering, pain, misery, sorrow and travail which can exist in life, the reason for existence is the same reason as one has to play a game—interest, contest, activity and possession. The truth of this assertion is established by an observation of the elements of games and then applying these elements to life itself. L. Ron Hubbard Quotes
Money is to my social existence what health is to my body. Mason Cooley Quotes
Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time. Denis Waitley Quotes

The soldier who fights to death never dies, but the soldier who fights for existence never truly exists. Admiral Yi Sun Shin Quotes
Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know. Walter Benjamin Quotes
I don't spend much time thinking about whether God exists. I don't consider that a relevant question. It's unanswerable and irrelevant to my life, so I put it in the category of things I can't worry about. Wendy Kaminer Quotes
Rembrandt painted 700 pictures. Of these, 3,000 are still in existence. Wilhelm Bode Quotes
No matter how skillful you are, you can't invent a product advantage that doesn't exist. And if you do, and it's just a gimmick, it's going to fall apart anyway. William Bernbach Quotes
It is doubtful if shame can exist in the absence of sexual libido. William S. Burroughs Quotes
As humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy. Valerie Solanas Quotes
An actually existing fly is more important than a possibly existing angel Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes
I'm a non-believer. I don't believe in the existence of a God. I don't believe in the Christian dogma. I find it horrifyingly silly. The intolerance that flows from organized religion is the most dangerous thing on the planet. Jane Rule Quotes
Religion closes off the central questions of existence by attempting to dissuade us from further enquiry by asserting that we cannot ever hope to comprehend. We are, religion asserts, simply too puny. Peter William Atkins Quotes

I think music can be many things to many people. I think it should exist on many levels.

The Creator, if He exists, has a special preference for beetles. J. B. S. Haldane Quotes
The further limits of our being plunge, it seems to me, into an altogether other dimension of existence from the sensible and merely ''understandable'' world. Name it the mystical region, or the supernatural region, whichever you choose. So far as our ideal impulses originate in this region (and most of them do originate in it, for we find them possessing us in a way for which we cannot articulately account), we belong to it in a more intimate sense than that in which we belong to the visible world, for we belong in the most intimate sense wherever our ideals belong. William James Quotes
In my plays I want to look at life - at the commonplace of existence-as if we had just turned a corner and run into it for the first time. Christopher Fry Quotes

We have the notion that we exist but we have no way to prove it. 'I am' is the closest foundation we can get. Stan Brakhage Quotes
The very existence of government at all, infers inequality. The citizen who is preferred to office becomes the superior to those who are not, so long as he is the repository of power, and the child inherits the wealth of the parent as a controlling law of society. James F. Cooper Quotes
An ''unemployed'' existence is a worse negation of life than death itself. Jose Ortega y Gasset Quotes
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward. Viktor Frankl Quotes
All forms of self-defeating behavior are unseen and unconscious, which is why their existence is denied Vernon Howard Quotes
If woman had no existence save in the fiction written by men, one would imagine her a person of the utmost importance; very various; heroic and mean; splendid and sordid; infinitely beautiful and hideous in the extreme; as great as a man, some think Virginia Woolf Quotes

Agreeable society is the first essential in constituting the happiness and of course the value of our existence Thomas Jefferson Quotes
There is something terribly nervous-making about a modern existence. For one thing, it's all the thinking we have to do and all the judgments we have to make. It's the price of freedom: make the judgments, make the mental calls, Saul Bellow Quotes
For all of us who are alive, life is the real issue. Yet so often we judge our existence by the things that happen to us—by whether things are going our way or not. Sometimes we feel strong—strong enough to dictate our future. Sometimes we feel that we can make things happen. Then there are times when we feel totally helpless. But through all the dramas and bumps, there is life. There is the very powerful, very existence of every single human being Prem Rawat Quotes
The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick; that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son. Joseph Ratzinger Quotes
It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts. K. T. Jong Quotes
All treaties between great states cease to be binding when they come in conflict with the struggle for existence. Otto von Bismarck Quotes
To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons. Charles Baudelaire Quotes
"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light." Barry Lopez Quotes
Only-child parents try to run interference on virtually every level in every facet of a child's existence, and that's really not fair because it really leaves a child open for all sorts of disappointments -- major disappointment. If you don't get a child involved early on with as many peer situations as possible, you're in deep trouble. Chuck White Quotes
There must be some one quality without which a work of art cannot exist; possessing which, in the least degree, no work is altogether worthless. Clive Bell Quotes

What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means that first of all, man exists, turns up, appears on the scene, and, only afterwards, defines himself. ...

The specific chore that we're undertaking at the moment is taking the routes of the existing systems and doing an overlay map to see where we're redundant and what's not served and see if we can address that.

Libya is a country with vast existing oil and gas reserves, but remains highly under-explored. Craig McMahon Quotes
So it tends to reinforce existing prejudices that map onto spatial dimensions of a city. And it also tends to reinforce certain economic divisions within cities in terms of political power as well as in terms of representation. Typically, if you have less affluent areas of a city, they may not be able to develop a wide political base to make their voices actively heard within electoral politics throughout a city-government structure. Corey Walker Quotes

It's important to keep in mind that these tax credits are credits against Dell tax payments that wouldn't exist without significant investment from Dell.
