We are mindful of desire when we experience it with an embodied awareness, recognizing the sensations and thoughts of wanting as arising and passing phenomena. While this isn't easy, as we cultivate the clear seeing and compassion of Radical Acceptance, we discover we can open fully to this natural force, and remain free in its midst.
‐‐ Tara Brach
We are minor in everything but our passions.
‐‐ Elizabeth Bowen
We are misery-making machines! Homo sapiens has perfected the art of causing suffering. Pain is humankind's collective GDP.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
We are monitoring very closely threats against the pope as he comes in to the United States.
‐‐ Mike McCaul
We are more and more into technology. Everything is texting, and everything is instant. Flowers are completely impractical as a method of communication when you could just send a text.
‐‐ Vanessa Diffenbaugh
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
‐‐ Novalis
We are more dependent on science and engineering than at any other time in history. However, there is plenty of evidence that far too many people are scientifically illiterate, often having been put off science at school.
‐‐ Robert Winston
We are more disturbed by a calamity which threatens us than by one which has befallen us.
‐‐ John Lancaster Spalding
We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.
‐‐ Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We are more likely to cheat if we see others doing so. We tend to conform to accepted norms of reasonable behaviour, rather than adhere to strict rules.
‐‐ Evan Davis
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
‐‐ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
We are more often treacherous through weakness than through calculation.
‐‐ Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious.
‐‐ Eric Hoffer
We are more than just flesh and bones. There's a certain spiritual nature and something of the mind that we can't measure. We can't find it. With all our sophisticated equipment, we cannot monitor or define it, and yet it's there.
‐‐ Ben Carson
We are more than the sum of our biochemical functions. Even the tiniest flea is an incredibly complex living creature, with mouth-parts adapted to feeding on the blood of your cat or dog.
‐‐ Robert Lanza
We are more than the work we perform. In fact, I'd say that our work is a mere representation of who we are underneath.
‐‐ Shawn Amos
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.
‐‐ Benjamin Franklin
We are more tied to our faults than to our virtues.
‐‐ Mason Cooley
We are mortgaging our future.
‐‐ Joan Blades
We are most alive when we're in love.
‐‐ John Updike
We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names.
‐‐ Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are moving beyond the non-fiction novel to different kinds of narrative art, different forms of cognition. Loaded with moral and political point, narrative has been recalibrated to record, honour, and protest the latest historically specific instance of futility and mess.
‐‐ Geoff Dyer
We are moving into a world where companies will be able to offer us products and services based on our last two hours of activity. This is both exciting and frightening at the same time.
‐‐ Robert Scoble
We are moving rapidly into a world in which the spying machinery is built into every object we encounter.
‐‐ Howard Rheingold
We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires.
‐‐ Pope Benedict XVI
We are moving toward a global economy. One way of approaching that is to pull the covers over your head. Another is to say: It may be more complicated - but that's the world I am going to live in, I might as well be good at it.
‐‐ Phil Condit
We are moving toward recognition of the first Australians in the Australian constitution.
‐‐ Kevin Rudd
We are moving towards a new form of collective intelligence.
‐‐ Jane McGonigal
We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.
‐‐ Francis Bacon
We are muddled into war.
‐‐ David Lloyd George
We are naive and moralistic women. We are human beings who find politics a blight upon the human condition. And do not know how one copes with it except through politics.
‐‐ Kate Millett
We are naturally moral beings, but our environments can enhance - or, sadly, degrade - this innate moral sense.
‐‐ Paul Bloom
We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print.
‐‐ Virginia Woolf
We are ne'er like angels till our passion dies.
‐‐ Thomas Dekker
We are near, very near, to an end to the eurozone crisis... The worst - in the sense of the fear of the eurozone breaking up - is over. But the best isn't there yet.
‐‐ Francois Hollande
We are near waking when we dream we are dreaming.
‐‐ Novalis
We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
‐‐ Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We are neurologically hardwired to seek out people like ourselves. We start forming cliques as soon as we're old enough to know what acceptance feels like. We bond together based on anything that we can - music preference, race, gender, the block that we grew up on.
‐‐ IO Tillett Wright
We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves.
‐‐ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
‐‐ Ronald Reagan
We are never doing anyone any favors by withholding our gifts from the world. It's scary to be fierce, but you can't compromise that for fear of losing those around you.
‐‐ Idina Menzel
We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for.
‐‐ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are never happy until we learn to laugh at ourselves.
‐‐ Dorothy Dix
We are never happy; we can only remember that we were so once.
‐‐ Alexander Smith
We are never like angels till our passion dies.
‐‐ John Denham
We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.
‐‐ Henri Frederic Amiel
We are never racist against somebody who is very far away. I don't know any racism against the Eskimos. To have a racist feeling, there must be an other who is slightly different from us - but is living close to us.
‐‐ Umberto Eco
We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.
‐‐ Sigmund Freud
We are never so ridiculous through what we are as through what we pretend to be.
‐‐ Francois de La Rochefoucauld
