A Quote by Frederick Lenz

If you can die, you are confused because death is a perception of something ending and something else obviously beginning, which means we're still hung up on qualities.

An end of something means the beginning of something else, and I don't think that something else is going to be the death of the manned space program.

John Glenn

You're only dealing with whatever you know, which is a very small part of it and later on it'll look like it has something to do with the period. Obviously, the artists have something to do with one another. They tend to set up certain common qualities among themselves.

Donald Judd

He misses the feeling of creating something out of something. That’s right — something out of something. Because something out of nothing is when you make something up out of thin air, in which case it has no value. Anybody can do that. But something out of something means it was really there the whole time, inside you, and you discover it as part of something new, that’s never happened before.

Etgar Keret

How can non-existence get sick of itself? Everytime you wake up, you appear again out of nowhere. And so does everything else. Death just means the replacement of the usual morning waking with something else, something quite impossible even to think about. We don't even have the instrument to do it, because our mind & our world are the same thing.

Victor Pelevin

To perceive means to immobilize... we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.

Henri Bergson

It's instinctive in a certain kind of painting...It's like a nervous system. It's not described, it's happening. The feeling is going on with the task. The line is the feeling, from a soft thing, a dreamy thing, to something hard, something arid, something lonely, something ending, something beginning.

Cy Twombly

To perceive means to immobilize. To say this is to say that we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.

Henri Bergson

What we call birth Is but a beginning to be something else Than what we were before; and when we cease To be that something, then we call it death.

Ovid

It's interesting, when you find things wrong, usually it means that there's something in the set-up that's incorrect. When the ending feels right, that usually means you've done most of your work leading up to that, so that you feel it.

Mike Rich

The Bin Ladens must not be confused with authentic jihad - it's quite something else. If you want an example of external jihad, you should cite Amir Abd al Qadir who fought against the French in the 19th century, which was quite something else.

Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Both of us were quiet with the recognition that something was ending, and something was beginning.

Lisa Kleypas

You have got to get your power up and do something and not just sit around. Always be optimistic. Always be positive! And ignore those who aren't, because they're obviously confused, and out of touch with light.

Frederick Lenz

If you think you are a vile slime, that means that you aspire to something higher...It's because you have a sense of perfection, and you obviously want that, that you find something wrong.

Frederick Lenz

The understanding that we reach a point where we stop becoming something and start ending as something. That comes at different times in different points in different people's lives, and obviously there are lots of people who experience the presence of death much more keenly and much earlier than I did. But we all come to grips with it eventually.

John Hodgman

I listen to podcasts when I run because it means my mind still gets stimulated by something else.

Jack Garratt

Maybe my movie isn't over, I say, because sometimes moviemakers trick the audience with a false bad ending, and just when you think the movie is going to end badly, something dramatic happens, which leads to the happy ending. This seems like a good spot for something dramatic to happen, especially since it's my birthday.
