Quest Quotations
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness.
Norman Cousins
The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.
Erich Fromm
Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom; but the ultimate wisdom, which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls forth faith rather than reason.
Hal Borland
But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them.
Christopher Columbus
If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable.
E. O. Wilson
Whatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality.
George Lucas
I need more friends. It's kind of like my quest right now just to have more true friends.
Miley Cyrus
I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair.
Hillary Clinton
The fear of being deceived is the vulgar version of the quest for Truth.
Emile M. Cioran
