![Definition Quotes By Rick Cornish Definition Quotes By Rick Cornish](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-rick-cornish-91495.jpg)
Philosophy has been described as thinking about thinking, and all Christians should do that. The term comes from two Greek words, philia ("love") and sophia ("wisdom"), thus "loving wisdom." Nothing anti-Christian appears in that definition. Problems arise if we seek wisdom apart from God, or elevate human reason above Him, but according to Proverbs 4:5-7, God's people should love and seek wisdom.
Formal philosophy is divided into three major areas-incidentally, all core Christian issues: (1) Metaphysics,
which asks questions about the nature of reality: "What is real?" "Is the basic essence of the world matter, or spirit, or something else?" (2) Epistemology, which addresses issues concerning truth and knowledge: "What do we know?" "How do we know it?" "Why do we think it's true?" (3) Ethics, which considers moral problems: "What is right and wrong?" "Are moral values absolute or relative?" "What is the good life, and how do we achieve it? — Rick Cornish
![Definition Quotes By Orson Scott Card Definition Quotes By Orson Scott Card](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-orson-scott-card-137872.jpg)
How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn. — Orson Scott Card
![Definition Quotes By Warren Farrell Definition Quotes By Warren Farrell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-warren-farrell-115195.jpg)
I define power as 'control over one's life.' A balanced life is far superior to the male definition of power: earning money someone else spends while he dies sooner. — Warren Farrell
![Definition Quotes By Matt Cullen Definition Quotes By Matt Cullen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-matt-cullen-95511.jpg)
I can think of so many tough guys that by definition it's their job to be tough and they're all in chapel. That's such a misconception and it's kind of gone out the window. Guys feel more comfortable going to chapel. I remember when I first started, guys were nervous about it and it was kind of a secret. There was still that stigma that came with it, but it's definitely been removed and (the faith movement) is definitely growing. — Matt Cullen
![Definition Quotes By Cheech Marin Definition Quotes By Cheech Marin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-cheech-marin-79170.jpg)
To me, you have to declare yourself a Chicano in order to be a Chicano. That makes a Chicano a Mexican-American with a defiant political attitude that centers on his or her right to self-definition. I'm a Chicano because I say I am. — Cheech Marin
![Definition Quotes By G.C. Waldrep III Definition Quotes By G.C. Waldrep III](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-g-c-waldrep-iii-78958.jpg)
Prayer is that which conveys a message to God, who is either known or knowing, more or less by definition. Poetry is that which conveys a message to a stranger. — G.C. Waldrep III
![Definition Quotes By Theodore Levitt Definition Quotes By Theodore Levitt](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-theodore-levitt-140071.jpg)
The oil industry is a stunning example of how science, technology, and mass production can divert an entire group of companies from their main task ... No oil company gets as excited about the customers in its own backyard as about the oil in the Sahara Desert ... But the truth is, it seems to me, that the industry begins with the needs of the customer for its products. From that primal position its definition moves steadily back stream to areas of progressively lesser importance until it finally comes to rest at the search for oil. — Theodore Levitt
![Definition Quotes By Lynsey Addario Definition Quotes By Lynsey Addario](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-lynsey-addario-86742.jpg)
Family is such a fundamental part of Islam, and women run the family. I had to force myself not to impose my own definition of political and social freedom on women in Islam, and approach each story objectively. — Lynsey Addario
![Definition Quotes By G.K. Chesterton Definition Quotes By G.K. Chesterton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-g-k-chesterton-82081.jpg)
One definition occurred to both of them - that he had come out into the light of that lucid and radiant ignorance in which all beliefs had begun. The sky above them was full of mythology. Heaven seemed deep enough to hold all the gods. — G.K. Chesterton
![Definition Quotes By Mario Vargas-Llosa Definition Quotes By Mario Vargas-Llosa](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-mario-vargas-llosa-99906.jpg)
This definition was not just limited to establishing a method for exploring the specificity of one human group in relation to another. It also desired, from the outset, to renounce the prejudiced and racist ethnography about which the West has never tired of berating itself. The intention could not have been loftier, but the well-known saying tells us that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Because — Mario Vargas-Llosa
![Definition Quotes By Sarah Cross Definition Quotes By Sarah Cross](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-sarah-cross-89486.jpg)
Blue was standing over her, shaking out his wet hair like an annoying blue dog. Beads of water clung to the muscle of his chest. He was wiry, not buff like Henley, but his body made up for size with definition.
Nothing could make up for his personality.
"Stop dripping on me," Mira snapped. — Sarah Cross
![Definition Quotes By Julie Zeilinger Definition Quotes By Julie Zeilinger](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-julie-zeilinger-132706.jpg)
The idea of equality is still how I define feminism. I think it's a broad definition that encompasses the variety of experiences women and men have with the word and the movement. — Julie Zeilinger
![Definition Quotes By Arthur Hughes Definition Quotes By Arthur Hughes](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-arthur-hughes-135420.jpg)
One result of this productive system is that the middle class has grown from being about 15 percent of the population in 1920 to being 86 percent of the population in 2011. While some of the population always seem to live at the poverty line, the vast majority of Americans today are affluent compared to their grandparents. They have the money to buy the products produced by American industry. In the process, the definition of poverty has changed. The majority of Americans who are classified by the government as living at the poverty level have indoor plumbing, color television sets, cell phones, air-conditioning, washers and dryers, microwaves, automobiles, and access to free health care. They are also a significant buying group. — Arthur Hughes
![Definition Quotes By Robert Moor Definition Quotes By Robert Moor](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-robert-moor-135521.jpg)
There are, it is often said by the more ecumenical prophets, many paths up the mountain. So long as it helps a person navigate the world and seek out what is good, a path, by definition, has value. — Robert Moor
![Definition Quotes By Alain Badiou Definition Quotes By Alain Badiou](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-alain-badiou-140814.jpg)
I am surprised to see that today everything that does not amount to surrender pure and simple to generalized capitalism, let us call it thus, is considered to be archaic or old-fashioned, as though in a way there existed no other definition of what it means to be modern than, quite simply, to be at all times caught in the dominant forms of the moment. — Alain Badiou
![Definition Quotes By Noam Chomsky Definition Quotes By Noam Chomsky](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-noam-chomsky-84515.jpg)
And if you look at all this academic work in the conferences and so on there's a constant theme that terrorism is extremely hard to define and we therefore have to have a deep thinking about it. And the reason it's hard to define is quite simple. It's hard to find a definition that includes what they do to us but excludes what we do to them. That's quite difficult. So it takes a global war on terrorism. — Noam Chomsky
![Definition Quotes By Jim Butcher Definition Quotes By Jim Butcher](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-jim-butcher-117804.jpg)
Thwart," I said. "To prevent someone from accomplishing something by means of visiting gratuitous violence upon his smarmy person."
"I'm pretty sure that isn't the definition." Sarissa said.
"It is today. — Jim Butcher

[ ... ] extremes - whether good or bad - don't fit into society's definition of normality — Marilyn Manson
![Definition Quotes By Stephen Harper Definition Quotes By Stephen Harper](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-stephen-harper-127206.jpg)
It will come as no surprise to anybody to know that I support the traditional definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others, as expressed in our traditional common law. — Stephen Harper
![Definition Quotes By Tom Bingham Definition Quotes By Tom Bingham](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-tom-bingham-124356.jpg)
There are doubtless those who would wish to lock up all those who suspected of terrorist and other serious offences and, in the time-honored phrase, throw away the key. But a suspect is by definition a person whom no offence has been proved. Suspicions, even if reasonably entertained, may prove to be misplaced, as a series of tragic miscarriages of justice has demonstrated. Police officers and security officials can be wrong. It is a gross injustice to deprive of his liberty for significant periods a person who has committed no crime and does not intend to do so. No civilized country should willingly tolerate such injustices. — Tom Bingham
![Definition Quotes By Tim Cahill Definition Quotes By Tim Cahill](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-tim-cahill-122381.jpg)
Finally, consider your predicament a privilege in a world so shrunken that certain people refer to it as the 'global village.' The term 'explorer' has little meaning. But exploration is nothing more than a faray into the unknown, and a four-year old child, wandering about along in the department store, fits the definition as well as the snow-blind man wandering across the Khyber Pass. The explorer is the person who is lost. — Tim Cahill
![Definition Quotes By Dweezil Zappa Definition Quotes By Dweezil Zappa](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-dweezil-zappa-126905.jpg)
The Silvertop and the Goldtop both had subtlety where it was needed but lots of definition as well. I liked the different voicings of the distortion/fuzz elements. — Dweezil Zappa
![Definition Quotes By Carl Sagan Definition Quotes By Carl Sagan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-carl-sagan-121230.jpg)
Telepathy' literally means to feel at a distance, just as 'telephone' is to hear at a distance and 'television' is to see at a distance. The word suggests the communication not of thoughts but of feelings, emotions. Around a quarter of all Americans believe they've experienced something like telepathy. People who know each other very well, who live together, who are practised in one another's feeling tones, associations and thinking styles can often anticipate what the partner will say. This is merely the usual five senses plus human empathy, sensitivity and intelligence in operation. It may feel extrasensory, but it's not at all what's intended by the word 'telepathy'. If something like this were ever conclusively demonstrated, it would, I think, have discernible physical causes -perhaps electrical currents in the brain. Pseudoscience, rightly or wrongly labelled, is by no means the same thing as the supernatural, which is by definition something somehow outside of Nature. — Carl Sagan
![Definition Quotes By Debasish Mridha Definition Quotes By Debasish Mridha](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-debasish-mridha-131548.jpg)
Consciousness is basic while thoughts are supreme. Speeches are nothing but the expression of thoughts and feelings. If there is no consciousness, nothing else could be there. At the same time, all forms of consciousness will not give the abilities to think and express thoughts. — Debasish Mridha
![Definition Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel Definition Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-karl-wilhelm-friedrich-schlegel-121170.jpg)
A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
![Definition Quotes By Gregory David Roberts Definition Quotes By Gregory David Roberts](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-gregory-david-roberts-120698.jpg)
There is no objective and universally acceptable definition of good and evil. And until we have one, we will go on justifying our own actions, while condemning the actions of the others. — Gregory David Roberts
![Definition Quotes By Ann Coulter Definition Quotes By Ann Coulter](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-ann-coulter-118568.jpg)
The definition of swiftboating is: producing irrefutable evidence that a Democrat is lying. — Ann Coulter
![Definition Quotes By Albert Schweitzer Definition Quotes By Albert Schweitzer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-albert-schweitzer-117996.jpg)
No one can give a definition of the soul. But we know what it feels like. The soul is the sense of something higher than ourselves, something that stirs in us thoughts, hopes, and aspirations which go out to the world of goodness, truth and beauty. The soul is a burning desire to breathe in this world of light and never to lose it
to remain children of light. — Albert Schweitzer
![Definition Quotes By Killer Mike Definition Quotes By Killer Mike](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-killer-mike-113392.jpg)
It's drones over Brooklyn, you blink, you could get tooken,

Pigs on parade, but bacon fryin' and cookin',
Cause kids' tired of dyin' and walkin' round like they shooken. — Killer Mike

High definition ruined a lot of things that I used to hold sacrosanct in pornography. — Doug Stanhope
![Definition Quotes By Mark Waid Definition Quotes By Mark Waid](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-mark-waid-111791.jpg)
The most basic definition of a story is 'Somebody wants something and something's in his way,' and I'm more likely to be engaged if I at least think I know what those two 'somethings' are. They can be simple, they can be complex, but - particularly if you're a beginning writer - I'd rather you err on the side of revealing too much than too little. — Mark Waid
![Definition Quotes By Alek Wek Definition Quotes By Alek Wek](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-alek-wek-111206.jpg)
For me, there has never been one definition of beauty. I think we all have something to offer and when beauty shines from within, there can be no denying it — Alek Wek

![Definition Quotes By Maureen Johnson Definition Quotes By Maureen Johnson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-maureen-johnson-132736.jpg)
Being an author means, almost by definition, that you make up characters and then complicate their lives. That's it, really. You make up characters and give them problem after problem after problem. — Maureen Johnson
![Definition Quotes By Eben Pagan Definition Quotes By Eben Pagan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-eben-pagan-147326.jpg)

The world out there is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity; it's waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity. — Leonard Ravenhill
![Definition Quotes By Robert K. Merton Definition Quotes By Robert K. Merton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-robert-k-merton-141638.jpg)
The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true. The specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning. — Robert K. Merton
![Definition Quotes By David Hilbert Definition Quotes By David Hilbert](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-david-hilbert-140101.jpg)
I do not want to presuppose anything as known. I see in my explanation in section 1 the definition of the concepts point, straight line and plane, if one adds to these all the axioms of groups i-v as characteristics. If one is looking for other definitions of point, perhaps by means of paraphrase in terms of extensionless, etc., then, of course, I would most decidedly have to oppose such an enterprise. One is then looking for something that can never be found, for there is nothing there, and everything gets lost, becomes confused and vague, and degenerates into a game of hide and seek. — David Hilbert
![Definition Quotes By Pella Grace Definition Quotes By Pella Grace](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-pella-grace-139440.jpg)
Of course he's a Valentine. Look at him; he's the pure definition of the word. — Pella Grace

We face an essential need to reach a definition of terrorism that will enjoy wide international agreement, thus enabling international operations against terrorist organizations. — Boaz Ganor

When you say spirituality, immediately people will add a rejoined peace pf mind. Peace of mind is not spirituality. This is just psychological pleasantness but when you talk about spirituality as a science you are not just talking about just psychological pleasantness. So whats spirituality - To give it a very technical kind of definition ,If your experience of your life transcends the limitations of physical, Then we can say your are spiritual. — Dinkar Kalotra

![Definition Quotes By Taylor Swift Definition Quotes By Taylor Swift](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-taylor-swift-108152.jpg)
I wish [that when] I was 12 years old I'd been able to watch a video of my favourite actress explaining in such an intellectual, beautiful, poignant way the definition of feminism - I would have understood it and then earlier on in my life I would have proudly claimed that I was a feminist, because I would have understood what the word means. — Taylor Swift
![Definition Quotes By Suzy Kassem Definition Quotes By Suzy Kassem](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-suzy-kassem-130893.jpg)

I absolutely believe that what you sing and how you act when you're in this position, should be the definition of who you are and where your heart and character stands. — Cody Johnson
![Definition Quotes By John Steinbeck Definition Quotes By John Steinbeck](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-john-steinbeck-128043.jpg)
I think the difference between a lie and a story is that a story utilizes the trappings and appearance of truth for the interest of the listener as well as of the teller. A story has in it neither gain nor loss. But a lie is a device for profit or escape. I suppose if that definition is strictly held to, then a writer of stories is a liar - if he is financially fortunate. — John Steinbeck

When night falls over Washington, D.C., memorials, public buildings, and broad avenues become ethereal shapes in soft light and shadow. Floodlights, piercing the darkness, etch familiar landmarks in silver against a velvet sky. Unsuspected definition of form and contour is revealed. — Volkmar Wentzel
![Definition Quotes By David Graeber Definition Quotes By David Graeber](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-david-graeber-127299.jpg)
If one accepts Jean Piaget's famous definition of mature intelligence as the ability to coordinate between multiple perspectives (or possible perspectives) one can see, here, precisely how bureaucratic power, at the moment it turns to violence, becomes literally a form of infantile stupidity. — David Graeber
![Definition Quotes By Ridley Scott Definition Quotes By Ridley Scott](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-ridley-scott-79669.jpg)
Everyone is tearing each other apart in the name of their personal god. And the irony is, by definition, they're probably worshiping the same god. — Ridley Scott

![Definition Quotes By Matti Friedman Definition Quotes By Matti Friedman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-matti-friedman-93008.jpg)
Since the rise of Islam, Jews had lived as a tolerated minority, or dhimmi, a status granted to Jews and Christians because they were monotheists. Despite a growing tendency in our own times to paint the premodern Islamic world as an Eden of religious tolerance in which Jews flourished, they always lived by the whims of fickle rulers and the mood of a hostile majority. In the eyes of that majority they were effete, lacking in honor, and powerless by definition, but as long as they accepted the supremacy of Muslims they were usually allowed to live and observe their faith and occasionally to prosper. — Matti Friedman
![Definition Quotes By Lynn Coady Definition Quotes By Lynn Coady](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-lynn-coady-88668.jpg)

[When asked what he wants for his tombstone epitaph]
Since I'm an atheist, and have no belief whatsoever in life after death, I couldn't care less
it's not like it'll have any impact on me, since by definition I will be completely extinguished. I guess if someone twisted my arm and forced me to provide an epitaph, it would be 'Don't forget.' Sound advice ... — Richard Bartle
![Definition Quotes By Guy Kawasaki Definition Quotes By Guy Kawasaki](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-guy-kawasaki-83852.jpg)
Think different in order to change the rules. By definition, if you don't change the rules you aren't a revolutionary, and if you don't think different, you won't change the rules. — Guy Kawasaki

![Definition Quotes By Cal Thomas Definition Quotes By Cal Thomas](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-cal-thomas-94564.jpg)
The high-minded definition of politics is: 'the art or science of government; the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy.' It is only when you keep reading in Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary that you get closer to the truth: 'political activities characterized by artful and often dishonest practices'. — Cal Thomas
![Definition Quotes By Alfred North Whitehead Definition Quotes By Alfred North Whitehead](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-alfred-north-whitehead-77947.jpg)

![Definition Quotes By Eva Figes Definition Quotes By Eva Figes](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-eva-figes-77356.jpg)
The much vaunted male logic isn't logical, because they display prejudices against half the human race that are considered prejudices according to any dictionary definition. — Eva Figes
![Definition Quotes By George Orwell Definition Quotes By George Orwell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-george-orwell-77222.jpg)
The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies "something not desirable" ... In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning. — George Orwell
![Definition Quotes By Eli Jaxon-Bear Definition Quotes By Eli Jaxon-Bear](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-eli-jaxon-bear-77154.jpg)
The Enneagram is not a system of personality, as it is so often presented, but rather a definition of character fixation. The same character fixation can manifest across a full range of personalities. Jack Nicholson and Slobodan Milosevic have the same character fixation but different personalities. — Eli Jaxon-Bear
![Definition Quotes By Leslie Weisman Definition Quotes By Leslie Weisman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-leslie-weisman-77105.jpg)
Feminism, in its fullest meaning, enjoins the human race to establish zones of liberation, and literally to reshape the territorial definition of our patriarchal world, along with the social identities and injustices that those boundaries have defined for all of us. — Leslie Weisman
![Definition Quotes By Thomas Hoving Definition Quotes By Thomas Hoving](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-thomas-hoving-75936.jpg)
With each change of definition in art, something considered non-art or bad art by a previous generation is suddenly acceptable. — Thomas Hoving

To give an extra dimension to the scolding she gave me: The word "twerp" was freshly coined in those days, and had a specific definition - it was a person, if I may be forgiven, who bit the bubbles of his own farts in a bathtub. — Kurt Vonnegut
![Definition Quotes By Marya Hornbacher Definition Quotes By Marya Hornbacher](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-marya-hornbacher-74987.jpg)
The fear, too, is a fear of yourself: a completely dualistic and contradictory fear. On the one hand, it is the fear that you do not have what it takes to make it, and on the other hand, a possibly greater fear that you do have what it takes, and that by definition you therefore also have a responsibility to do something really big. — Marya Hornbacher

There's no such thing as normal. There is no definition of normal. Normal is subjective. You can't - and shouldn't - force yourself to want something 'normal' and stop wanting what you truly want. It's a sure way to make your life miserable. — Alessandra Hazard
![Definition Quotes By William Barrett Definition Quotes By William Barrett](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-william-barrett-108629.jpg)
From what deep springs of character our personal philosophies issue, we cannot be sure. In philosophers themselves we seem always able to notice some deep internal correspondence between the man and his philosophy. Are our philosophies, then, merely the inevitable outcome of the body of fate and personal circumstance that is thrust upon each of us? Or are these beliefs the means by which we freely create ourselves as the persons we become? Here, at the very outset, the question of freedom already hovers in the background. — William Barrett

Rather than trying to prove our masculinity, we need to accept who we are in the spirit of the gospel. Instead of trying to live up to some cultural standard of manhood, we need to accept God's grace, which says, "I accept you just as you are." It is culture, not God, that alienates those who do not live up to the existing, narrow definition of manhood. — Nate Pyle

I tried to step back quickly but James grabbed my hand. "C'mon," he said "this'll be fun." Geez ... What's your definition of fun? Cuz mines not to possibly get killed my first day here. Or maybe that's just a personal goal, but still ... — Bella Shadow

Why shouldn't we have laws forbidding pornography and obscenity? Many heroic leaders have tried, but they have stumbled over even the definition of the word "obscenity." If we cannot agree on the length of a foot, it is because we have lost our yardstick. — Billy Graham

![Definition Quotes By Vladimir Nabokov Definition Quotes By Vladimir Nabokov](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-vladimir-nabokov-107079.jpg)
My patient was one of those singular and unfortunate people who regard their heart ("a hollow, muscular organ," according to the gruesome definition in Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, which Pnin's orphaned bag contained) with a queasy dread, a nervous repulsion, a sick hate, as if it were some strong slimy untouchable monster that one had to be parasitized with, alas. — Vladimir Nabokov

Supporting the definition of marriage as one man and one woman is not anti-gay: it is pro-traditional marriage. And if support for traditional marriage is bigotry, then Barack Obama was a bigot until just before the 2012 election. — Marco Rubio
![Definition Quotes By Chip Heath Definition Quotes By Chip Heath](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-chip-heath-101939.jpg)
It's clear that we imitate the behaviors of others, whether consciously or not. We are especially keen to see what they're doing when the situation is unfamiliar or ambiguous. And change situations are, by definition, unfamiliar! So if you want to change things, you have to pay close attention to social signals, because they can either guarantee a change effort or doom it. — Chip Heath

![Definition Quotes By Richard Rohr Definition Quotes By Richard Rohr](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-richard-rohr-99184.jpg)
When religion does not move people to the mystical or non-dual level of consciousness9 it is more a part of the problem than any solution whatsoever. It solidifies angers, creates enemies, and is almost always exclusionary of the most recent definition of "sinner." At this level, it is largely incapable of its supreme task of healing, reconciling, forgiving, and peacemaking. When religion does not give people an inner life or a real prayer life, it is missing its primary vocation. Let me sum up, then, the foundational ways that I believe Jesus and the Twelve Steps of A.A. are saying the same thing but with different vocabulary: We suffer to get well. We surrender to win. We die to live. We give it away to keep it. This counterintuitive wisdom will forever be resisted as true, denied, and avoided, until it is forced upon us - by some reality over which we are powerless - and if we are honest, we are all powerless in the presence of full Reality. — Richard Rohr
![Definition Quotes By Neil Gaiman Definition Quotes By Neil Gaiman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/definition-quote-by-neil-gaiman-99118.jpg)
Today, fantasy is, for better or for worse, just another genre, a place in a bookshop to find books that, too often, remind one of far too many other books; it is an irony, and not entirely a pleasant one, that what should be, by definition, the most imaginative of all types of literature has become so staid, and, too often, downright unimaginative. — Neil Gaiman

The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening. — William James

Always' was a promise! How can you just break the promise?"
"Sometimes people don't always understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.
Isaac shot me a look. "Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway. Don't you believe in true love?"
I didn't answer. I didn't have an answer.
But I thought that if true love did exist, that was a pretty good definition of it. — John Green

In the minds of some people, writing is one thing, but thinking is quite another. If they define writing as spelling, the production of sentences with random meanings, and punctuation, then they might have a case. But who would accept such a definition? Writing is the production of meaning. Writing is thinking. — George Hillocks Jr.
