Thread Quotations
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides. Lao Tzu He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life. Victor Hugo All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together. Morihei Ueshiba However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums. David Bowie Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it. Horace Mann I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man's destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth. I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish. Marcel Marceau A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread. George Herbert America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth. Jesse Jackson The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.
