Forces Of Nature Quotes

“Earth, water, fire, and wind. Where there is energy there is life.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Spirituality isn't some quaint stepchild of an intelligent worldview, or the only option for those of us not smart enough to understand the facts of the real world. Spirituality reflects the most sophisticated mindset, and the most powerful force available for the transformation of human suffering.”
― Marianne Williamson, Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment

“Cinders patter, falling with the snow. We creep infinitesimally northward through the dirty chaos of a world in the process of making itself.

Praise then Creation unfinished!”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

“Love is one of the most motivating and self-defining forces in our lives, whether we turn from it or allow ourselves to be drawn to it. If you allow romantic possibilities with others to consume all your time and energy, they will distract you from the things of interest that fill your life with passion and purpose.”
― A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

“Let your inner beauty be your main force.”
― Anoir Ou-Chad

“Go as you wish. That which is yours will always return to you; that which you take will always be taken from you.”
― Seraphim Falls

“My greatest enemies are Women and the Sea.”
― Iain Banks, The Wasp Factory

“A row of daffodils and red tulips nestled against the walkway beneath my feet. Stray weeds peeked up through the cracks in the concrete, a reminder that that nature had the final say. No matter how much mankind bulldozed or built, all was vulnerable to Mother Nature's whims.”
― Pamela Crane, A Secondhand Life

“Human life is inherently dualistic. It consists of or is explicable as two fundamental entities, including rivalries between subject and object, mind and matter, and conflict between the benevolent and the malevolent forces. Opposition in the universe creates a dynamic living universe composed of good and evil, body and soul. Human thoughts and feelings are the communal products of the conscious and unconscious mind’s interpretation of a constant flow of coded and symbolic dialogue.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“After Guru Rinpoche subdued Tseringma, he pursued her four younger sisters. One by one, they repented and became Buddhist deities, moving to mountains of their own. Miyolangsangma patrols the summit of Everest on the back of a tigress. Now the goddess of prosperity, her face shines like 24-carat gold. Thingi Shalsangma, her body a pale shade of blue, became the goddess of healing after galloping on a zebra to the top of Shishapangma, a 26,289-foot peak in Tibet. Chopi Drinsangma, with a face in perpetual blush, became the goddess of attraction. She chose a deer instead of a zebra and settled on Kanchenjunga, a 28,169-foot peak in Nepal.

The final sister—Takar Dolsangma, the youngest, with a green face—was a hard case. She mounted a turquoise dragon and fled northward to the land of three borders. In the modern Rolwaling folklore, this is Pakistan. Guru Rinpoche chased after her and eventually cornered her on a glacier called the Chogo Lungma. Takar Dolsangma appeared remorseful and, spurring her dragon, ascended K2, accepting a new position as the goddess of security. Although Guru Rinpoche never doubted her sincerity, maybe he should have: Takar Dolsangma, it seems, still enjoys the taste of human flesh.”

“I understand that you are claiming it is almost impossible to forgive, but only easier to forget. The truth is that, you can only forgive that which you have forced your mind to forget. We must forget first, then
forgiveness will come by itself.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo, Treatise Upon The Misconceptions of Narcissism

“I feel everything, as lightning feels the tip of the Earth when it strikes; or the way that ocean feels a small shell within it: all at once and wrapped around completely. I feel, not in the ways that they feel, but, in the ways that I feel. All at once and wrapped around completely. Lightning and Ocean. This is my heart.

What do you think it's like, for the ocean, when men throw rocks into her? Or trash into her? Ocean wraps tons of weight in her heart around even the tiniest rock, or the tiniest bit of trash, while they just stand there. And what do you think it's like for lightning? She breaks open skies because nothing fits inside anymore, while they just stand there naming her 'terrifying' and 'difficult'.”
― C. JoyBell C., The Conversation of Immortals

“All life depends upon the opportunistic interplay between elemental forces, the mysterious dualities of the numinous universe. Ying and yang forces of the natural world (lightness and darkness, fire and water, expansion and contraction) create tangible dualities that are complementary, interconnected, and independent. Without the firmament in the midst of the waters, without both sunshine and water, no life forms could subsist on this rocky orb. Without the rich soil surrounded by a canopy of an illimitable sky how could we feed ourselves, how could we breathe?”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Is there a name for a force in nature that takes you to the place you least want to be no matter how hard you wish otherwise? More than coincidence and less than fate? Yes, it's called Cheobawn”
― J.D. Lakey, Bhotta’s Tears

“Where there's [a] will, there's a witness.”
― T.F. Hodge

“Hvad er du bange for? spørger skoven.

Og svaret er let nok. Jeg er bange for at være til grin. Jeg er bange for at have svigtet mig selv. Jeg er bange for ikke at have brugt livets gave godt nok. Jeg er bange for, at jeg har været Bent en dårlig kone. Jeg er bange for, at jeg har været Laura en dårlig mor.”
― Katrine Marie Guldager, Bjørnen

“Irrespective of your belief system, there are certain forces that act upon us and make us do what we do, ironically human race is the only breed who is more susceptible to it and we keep denying it.”
― Ramana Pemmaraju

“Please remember that the lightning has never apologized for breaking skies open; the ocean has never said sorry for sinking ships. You, as well, must never apologize for being a force of nature. And as you love the lightning and as you love the oceans, so shall you love yourself. The skies are yours, the depths are yours-- that is okay. After all, Immortal is not a small nor simple thing. You'd have to be stupid to think it would be easy.”
― C. JoyBell C., The Conversation of Immortals

“All of the sudden it dawned them, they now were strangers in their own city. A city all of the sudden separated by the relentless force of nature—the body of water that now stood as an insurmountable barrier between them and the other side.
Truly divided.
There was no denying it; no words could capture the magnitude of this division, the impossibility of reaching across.”
― Ryan Gelpke
