Contemplation,
the essence
found, in quotations & art.
What a man takes in by contemplation, that
he pours out in love.
Quote by Meister Eckhart
*
That pleasure which is at once the most pure,
the most elevating and the most intense, i
s derived, I maintain, from the
contemplation of the beautiful.
Quotation by Edgar Allan Poe
*
I
admire people who are suited to the contemplative life.
They
can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be.
It’s
wonderful to have someone like that around,
you
always feel you can count on them.
You
can go away and come back,
you
can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics,
and
when you get through doing all these upsetting things,
you
look around and there they are,
just
the way they were,
just
being.
Quote by Elizabeth
Janeway
*
The ultimate value of
life depends upon
awareness and the power
of contemplation
rather than upon mere
survival.
Quotation by Aristotle
*
He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his
contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that
if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than
other men.
Quote by
Isaac Asimov
