“A woman ... all beautiful and accomplished will, while her hand and heart are undisposed of, turn the heads and set the circle in which she moves on fire. Let her marry, and what is the consequence? The madness ceases and all is quiet again. Why? Not because there is any diminution in the charms of the lady, but because there is an end of hope.” HeartEndsHandsBeautifulMovingTurnsMarriageFireQuietConsequenceMadnessCirclesCeaseCharmAccomplishedWhy Not Book:Letters and Addresses, Source: Letters and Addresses,
“Feelings aroused by the touch of someones hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith - all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well.” WellsArtSelfFeelingsHandsBeautifulSoundFlowerLaughterConsciousConsequenceAspectSmellUnconsciousSunsetWorks Of ArtHope And FaithPhysiologicalSound Of MusicBeautiful SunsetLove LaughterArt Love Author:Bernie Siegel
“Lion is a beautiful creature. It's a wonderful creature. But it's easy outrage. And I also believe that this kind of outrage is a consequence of a moral cowardice in the face of other evil, that you transfer your impotence about other - in other arenas to this, because you know that people will agree with you that this is really bad, but there are serious outrages out there that are bigger than a lion.” PeopleKnowsBelieveKindBeautifulFacesEvilEasyMoralWonderfulSeriousCreaturesConsequenceBiggerAgreeLionsCowardiceArenaOutrageTransfersImpotenceBeautiful Creatures Author:Greg Gutfeld
“In stories, everything has to have clear consequences and everything has to focus to the end. Everything at the end will give meaning to everything that precedes. In my own life, the consequences of the choices I've made aren't always very clear. The most beautiful things are sometimes not totally truthful, and the end will not give more meaning to everything that precedes.” GivingMadeEndsSometimesStoriesBeautifulChoicesMy OwnClearFocusConsequenceTruthfulBeautiful ThingsMy Own Life Author:Jaco Van Dormael

“It wasn't an architect who did this, but if it had been an architect, it would have been a good day's work: there was a marketing person who convinced Walmart that their products sold better in daylight than electric light. It would have been interesting if an architect had deliberately designed this change with all its spatial consequences in mind, thinking about how the change would multiply across all the square footage of all the roofs of all the Walmarts in the world.

“[Pascal] was the first and perhaps is still the most effective voice to be raised in warning of the consequences of the enthronement of the human ego in contradistinction to the cross, symbolizing the ego's immolation. How beautiful it all seemed at the time of the Enlightenment, that man triumphant would bring to pass that earthly paradise whose groves of academe would ensure the realization forever of peace, plenty, and beatitude in practice. But what a nightmare of wars, famines, and folly was to result therefrom.” MenFirstsHumansStillsWarBeautifulVoiceResultsPracticeForeverEgoEnlightenmentConsequenceCrossesRaisedRealizationPlentyParadiseFollyNightmareWarningFamineTriumphantGrovePascal Author:Malcolm Muggeridge
“For the first time in his life, he stopped worrying about results, and as a consequence the terms “success” and “failure” had suddenly lost their meaning for him. The true purpose of art was not to create beautiful objects, he discovered. It was a method of understanding, a way of penetrating the world and finding one’s place in it, and whatever aesthetic qualities an individual canvas might have were almost an incidental by-product of the effort to engage oneself in this struggle, to enter into the thick of things.” WorldWayFirstsArtMightBeautifulPurposeIndividualLostUnderstandingTermResultsEffortQualityWorryStruggleObjectsProductsFindingsConsequenceFirst TimeMethodOneselfAestheticThickCanvasSuccess And FailureTrue PurposePurpose Of ArtBeautiful Objects Book:Moon Palace: A Novel (Penguin Ink) Source: Moon Palace: A Novel (Penguin Ink)
