An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality; our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing.
Samuel Smiles Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if you like, processes that information. Seth Lloyd God gives talent. Work transforms talent into genius. Anna Pavlova God transforms, so to speak, this air into words, into various sounds. He makes you understand these various sounds through the modifications by which you are affected. Nicolas Malebranche It is impossible for us to understand the Church if we regard her as subject to the limitations of human culture. For she is essentially a supernatural organism which transcends human cultures and transforms them to her own ends. Christopher Dawson It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time. Simone de Beauvoir Let's talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art, in which the entire process of work is included... something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a Gigantic project. Joseph Beuys Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty. Helen Rowland Merely by existing and evolving in time - by existing - any physical system registers information, and by evolving in time it transforms or processes that information. Seth Lloyd No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius. Anna Pavlova Poetry transforms and redeems the common, the hurtful, the humiliating. Susan Montez The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world. Stanislav Grof The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere. Michel De Certeau Those who have wrought great changes in the world never succeeded by gaining over chiefs; but always by exciting the multitude. The first is the resource of intrigue and produces only secondary results, the second is the resort of genius and transforms the universe. Martin Van Buren What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote. E. M. Forster |
