“When you put relative and absolute truth together and they become one unit, it becomes possible to make things workable. You are not too much on the side of absolute truth, or you would become too theoretical. You are not too much on the side of relative truth, or you would become too precise. When you put them together, you realize that there is no problem.” ProblemTogetherSidesRealizingToo MuchAbsolutesRelativeUnitsPreciseNo ProblemTheoreticalAbsolute TruthRelative Truth Author:Chogyam Trungpa
“All confidence which is not absolute and entire, is dangerous. There are few occasions but where a man ought either to say all, or conceal all; for, how little so ever you have revealed of your secret to a friend, you have already said too much if you think it not safe to make him privy to all particulars.” IfsThinkingMenLittlesSaidSecretToo MuchDangerousOughtSafeAbsolutesOccasions Author:Francis Beaumont
“Some men can be very rude. On the other hand, some clients are absolute angels. One john always brought me a gift every time he came to see me. He brought me a pearl necklace, a ring, a bra or something. But eventually, as much as I really loved all the gifts, he fell in love with me, and he tried to weasel his way into my life. It was too much and I sort of had to 'break up with him."” MenWayHandsBreakToo MuchAngelAbsolutesRingsClientsRudePearlsBrasNecklacesWeasels Author:Annie Sprinkle

“He read a lot. He used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often. A couple of times I tried to tell him it was a mistake to get too deep into that kind of stuff, but Alex got stuck on things.

“this is one of my absolute favourite quotes its from the evernight series (stargazer) charity to Balthazar You remind me of too much. you remind me of what it felt like to be alive, to think of sunlight as something you could enjoy instead of something you could bare, to breath and have it change you, refresh you, awaken you, instead of just churning on and on some old useless habit that taunts you with what you use to be, to sigh and feel relief, to cry and let your sadness pass, instead of having it all bottled up inside of you forever and ever until you don't know who you are any more.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsUseFeltEnjoyForeverToo MuchAliveSadnessCryHabitAbsolutesBreathsWho You AreSeriesCharityUselessReliefFavouriteSunlightSighTauntingChurningUse To Be Author:Claudia Gray
“It does not do to rely too much on silent majorities, Evey, for silence is a fragile thing, one loud noise, and its gone. But the people are so cowed and disorganised. A few might take the opportunity to protest, but it'll just be a voice crying in the wilderness. Noise is relative to the silence preceding it. The more absolute the hush, the more shocking the thunderclap. Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations, Evey and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.” PeopleDoeMightCareRememberOpportunityVoiceSilenceGoneToo MuchGenerationsHeardCryMastersAbsolutesMajoritySilentNoiseLoudRelyProtestWildernessRelativeFragileSilence IsShockingHushFragile ThingsLoud NoisesSilent Majority Author:Alan Moore
“I've always been a very restless person. I work hard, spend too much time looking after my son, I dance like a mad thing, I learned calligraphy. I go to courses on selling, I read one book after another.
