Hubris, n. every time i call you mine, i feel like i'm forcing it, as if saying it can make it so. as if i'm reminding you, and reminding the universe: mine. as if that one word from me could have that kind of power.

Annabeth:my fatal flaw. that's what the sirens showed me. my fatal flaw is hubris. percy: the brown stuff they spread on veggie sandwiches? annabeth:no, seaweed brain. that's hummus. hubris is worse. percy: what could be worse than hummus? annabeth: hubris means deadly pride, percy. thinking you can do things better than anyone else... even the gods.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

My fatal flaw is hubris. the brown stuff they spread on veggie sandwiches? no, seaweed brain. that's hummus. hubris is worse. what could be worse than hummus?

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. would you be mine? could you be mine?... it's a neighborly day in this beauty wood, a neighborly day for a beauty. would you be mine? could you be mine?... i've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. i've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. so, let's make the most of this beautiful day. since we're together we might as well say: would you be mine? could you be mine? won't you be my neighbor? won't you please, won't you please? please won't you be my neighbor?

I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.

If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died-you're not reminding them. they didn't forget they died. what you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift.

Similar Quotes

Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world. it is a product of our own thought. we create it out of whole cloth.

I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.

Ought we not, from time to time, open ourselves up to cosmic sadness? ... give your sorrow all the space and shelter in yourself that is its due, for if everyone bears his grief honestly and courageously, the sorrow that now fills the world will abate. but if you do not clear a decent shelter for your sorrow, and instead reserve most of the space inside you for hatred and thoughts of revenge-from which new sorrows will be born for others-then sorrow will never cease in this world and will multiply.

I do not know the meaning of my sadness; there is an old fairy tale that i cannot get out of my mind.
