Accord Quotations
A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world. Sigmund Freud The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation. John Cage The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres. Alexander Pope The spirited horse, which will try to win the race of its own accord, will run even faster if encouraged. Ovid There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord. Thomas Paine |
