About Another Discovering Discovery Gradual Miracle Mutual Process Reconciliation Slow Write

Amos Oz
Israeli - Novelist
Born: May 4, 1939

I often write about reconciling. Reconciling, or maybe half-reconciling between antagonists, between people who are deadly enemies. I write about reconciliation, but not as a miracle, as a slow, gradual process of mutual discovery - discovering one another. I write about sad, sober, sometimes heart-breaking compromises.

Amos Oz

If there is anything interesting about my story it's the fact that it's not unique at all. I feel that I have been through what almost everyone I know has - a slow and gradual maturation process.

Marianne Williamson

It is thought that the changeover from hunter to farmer was a slow, gradual process.

Stephen Gardiner

I began to have an idea of my life, not as slow shaping of achievement to fit my preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery and growth of a purpose which I did not know.

Marion Milner

EU expansion is, unfortunately, continuing without a constitution, as a gradual process of standardization - and that's far more dangerous. It is very difficult to slow down this process, which is being pushed forward without significant public participation.

Vaclav Klaus

For the writer, discovering the work he will write is both like a miracle and a wound, like the miracle of the wound.

Edmond Jabes

It wasn't the New World that mattered... Columbus died almost without seeing it; and not really knowing what he had discovered. It's life that matters, nothing but life - the process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be.

Neale Donald Walsch

Learning is a process of mutual discovery for teacher and pupil. Keep an open mind to their unexpected responses.

Bel Kaufman

The reconciliation is not based on the fact that one of the characters opens his eyes and says, "O brother! O sister! How terrible I was! How right and wonderful you were! Please forgive me! Let's hug and love each other from now until the rest of eternity!" This is not the kind of reconciliation I write about; I write about sad, sober, sometimes heart-breaking compromises.

Amos Oz

I love the process of discovering a new world - that's why I'm passionate about acting. It's just discovering life, feelings, ideas and thought.

Alice Braga

Writing is a process of discovering. I could never outline a narrative; that just sounds boring. There's no joy of discovery in what you're doing if that's your strategy.

Bob Shacochis

I had always been led to believe that ageing was a slow and gradual process, the creep of a glacier. Now I realise that it happens in a rush, like snow falling off a roof.

David Nicholls

As a writer, I write to see. If I knew how it would end, I wouldn't write. It's a process of discovery.

John McGahern

Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

I didn't get hugely famous really quick. It was a slow, gradual process, so I was able to sort of grow into myself and figure out who I was and what I wanted without the glaring spotlight on me telling me who I was.

Sarah McLachlan
