Limitation Quotes

“Even the most talented artists have flaws and limitations that no amount of training can overcome, just as even the most exceptional individuals have hang-ups and quirks that no amount of personal growth can erase. The artists we consider great are those who make their flaws and limitations somehow complement their strengths and contribute to their signature style.”

“But now the Light supreme is far away: Our conscious life obeys the inconscience’ laws; To ignorant purposes and blind desires Our hearts are moved by an ambiguous force; Even our mind’s conquests wear a battered crown. A slowly changing order binds our will. This is our doom until our souls are free. 02.05_043:025-027”

“The limitations in life do not necessary limit you.”

“অনেকে বলেন যে মানুষের মনের শক্তি 'সীমাহীন'। কিন্তু, আমি এর সাথে একমত নই কারণ আমাদের চারপাশে যা দেখি তার বাইরে আমরা ভাবতে পারি না। এর মানে হচ্ছে যে 'সীমাবদ্ধতা' 'ইন-বিল্ট'। প্রকৃতপক্ষে, আমরা মহাকাশে যেতে পারি, গ্রহ বা ছায়াপথগুলো আবিষ্কার করতে পারি, তবে আমরা এই সবকিছুর বাইরে যেতে পারি না। সুতরাং, আমাদের চিন্তা-প্রক্রিয়ার ‘সীমাবদ্ধতা’ প্রাকৃতিক এবং স্বাভাবিক!”

“To evade insanity and depression, we unconsciously limit the number of people toward whom we are sincerely sympathetic.”

“We are told that in translation there is no such thing as equivalence. Many times the translator reaches a fork in the translating road where they must make a choice in the interpretation of a word. And each time they make one of these choices, they are taken further from the truth. But what we aren’t told is that this isn’t a shortcoming of translation; it’s a shortcoming of language itself. As soon as we try to put reality into words, we limit it. Words are not reality, they are the cause of reality, and thus reality is always more. Writers aren't alchemists who transmute words into the aurous essence of the human experience. No, they are glassmakers. They create a work of art that enables us to see inside to help us understand. And if they are really good, we can see our own reflections staring back at us.”

“Recalling his first dreams of flight when he was a small child, Max acknowledged that his entire existence had been building up to this tipping point where he could finally choose to release his self-imposed limitations.”

“Cognitive science has something of enormous importance to contribute to human freedom: the ability to learn what our unconscious conceptual systems are like and how our cognitive unconscious functions. If we do not realize that most of our thought is unconscious and that we think metaphorically, we will indeed be slaves to the cognitive unconscious. Paradoxically, the assumption that we have a radically autonomous rationality as traditionally conceived actually limits our rational autonomy. It condemns us to cognitive slavery - to an unaware and uncritical dependence on our unconscious metaphors. To maximize what conceptual freedom we can have, we must be able to see through and move beyond philosophies that deny the existence of an embodied cognitive unconscious that governs most of our mental lives.”

“The belief in Limitation is the basis of all jealousy, and jealousy leads to Possession. Possession is the idea that you must hold tightly to that which you love or it might escape. In truth, it does not escape. It loses its value to the holder and often creates contempt. True power attracts the sweet pleasure of liberation within the harmony of love.”

“Is it a weakness not being able to hate? Or is it preparation for what is inevitable, the ability only to love.”

“To win or lose often depends on set parameters. Expand the bounds of what is possible, and you may come out the true winner, outside the confines of its defining.”

“Time is an illusion, only the keepers of the illusion are real, and the reality they have spun, keeps us, until we set upon the path of the dream.”

“More and more obstacles seem to be other people's issues that form in the way of a hand to block one, to take notice of them? Sometimes noticing ahead of time, and taking the time to notice them, makes the hand part of an arm that embraces you. The obstacles become bridges for both to cross over, even if in opposite directions.”

“There is beauty all around us, and the light finds us when we realize, we are all part of that beauty and worth the cherishing. If we despise any, we journey to despise ourselves. See all as beautiful, even if they choose to see themselves through you, as being less than so. We have the power to see for each, and be the reflection of what they may yet see.”
