Every policy is shaped by two forces: background analysis and foreground politics. The political forces are loud, self-serving and, in the case of energy policy, well known.

Donella Meadows

You don't come to live here unless the delusion of a reality shaped around your own desires isn't a strong aspect of your personality. A reality shaped around your own desires - there is something sociopathic in that ambition.

Zadie Smith

Life is sometimes novel-shaped, mocking the efforts of those authors who, in an effort to make their novels life-shaped, spurn the easy symmetry and cheap resonance of reality.

Stephen Fry

We are continually shaped by the forces of coincidence.

Paul Auster

I cannot afford to believe that freedom from intolerance is the right of only one particular group. And I cannot afford to choose between the fronts upon which I must battle these forces of discrimination, wherever they appear to destroy me. And when they appear to destroy me, it will not be long before they appear to destroy you.

Audre Lorde

Psychoanalysis justifies its importance by asserting that it forces you to look to and accept reality. But what sort of reality? A reality conditioned by the materialistic and scientific ideology of psychoanalysis, that is, a historical product.

Mircea Eliade

We are shaped by each other. We adjust not to the reality of a world, but to the reality of other thinkers.

To make abstractions hold in reality is to destroy reality.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Failures . . . believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances ... by things that happen to them ... by exterior forces.

Earl Nightingale

The progress of the human race is effected by the operation of two forces which correspond in most respects to what in physics are often called, for want of better terms, the centripetal and centrifugal forces. These are the forces of convergence and divergence, the one tending to concentration of powers and properties, and the other to their separateness or the independence of parts. Socialism and Individualism are to appearance conflicting, though in reality complemental, in their relations to the societary movement.

Joshua K. Ingalls

The question that white people need to ask ourselves is not if we were shaped by the forces of racism, but how.

Robin DiAngelo

Listen, you have now found the conditions in which the desire of your heart can become the reality of your being. Stay here, until you acquire a force in you that nothing can destroy. Then you'll need to go back into life, and there you will measure yourself constantly with forces which will show you your place.

G. I. Gurdjieff

Reality can destroy the dream; why shouldn't the dream destroy reality?

George A. Moore

The Same organizing forces that have shaped nature in all her forms are also responsible for the structure of our minds.

Werner Heisenberg

If humans were totally unstructured creatures, they would be... a tool which can properly be shaped by outside forces.

Noam Chomsky

It's quite clear the Syrian regime in Syria, as the Iraqi regime in Iraq is benefiting from America's effort to destroy opposition forces in both countries. And there aren't any other rebel forces that one can foresee on the horizon that will be able to take Eastern Syria that's now occupied by ISIS.

Joshua Landis
