― Peter S. Beagle, Tamsin

“Life, she realized, so often became a determined, relentless avoidance of pain-of one's own, of other people's. But sometimes pain had to be acknowledged and even touched so that one could move into it and through it and past it. Or else be destroyed by it.”
― Mary Balogh, Simply Love

“Whether I am written as good or as bad, my wish is to be written as you are.”
― Sanu Sharma

― Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White

“Simply put, she was the one who had to put up with me. That she did so with love and patience and encouragement instead of strangling me, throwing my remains into a wood chipper, and then pretending she had never been married to me at all is a testament to the fact that she is, in fact, the single best person I know.”
― John Scalzi, Lock In

“Your name?" George asked him directly. He had probably seen the man a dozen times before yet did not know anything about him. King Davit would have no doubt have known half the man's history already.
"Henry."
George took Henry's hand firmly in his own and looked into his eyes. This had to be done delicately, to make sure this Henry did not think him a fool. He tried to think of how his father would do it.
"Thank you, Henry, for your concern. It is a comfort to know I am so well guarded. I will make sure to praise you when next I speak to the lord general. But for now I think there is no need to worry.”
― Mette Ivie Harrison, The Princess and the Hound

“Do not confuse healthy detachment with avoidance. In my opinion, the difference between the two are acceptance and acknowledgement.”
― Robin S. Baker

“It is only in the acknowledgement of what doesn’t work that we can create sufficient space to craft something that does. And arrogance is certain to become mired in defeat because it refuses to accept the former so that it might achieve the latter.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“அங்கீகாரம் தேடுறவன், தாம் பண்ணின காரியத்தில் நம்பிக்கை இல்லாதவன்.”
― பிரபஞ்சன், மகாநதி [Mahanadhi]

“When I first started dual enrollment at Lake City Community College you could print in the library for free. I printed whole books. Like James Legge's 1891 "Tao Te Ching" translation. He was to parentheses what Emily Dickinson was to the Em Dash. "To know and yet (think) we do not know is the highest (at­tain­ment); not to know (and yet think) we do know is a dis­ease." I'd sit around listening to records as their dot matrix printer whirred. Slowly printing a book from the 6th century BCE. They had those hard blue plastic headphones. Your ears would ache. But Rimsky-Korsakov was pretty metal. Herbert Benson's "The Relaxation Response" had me picking "ZOOM" as my meditation mantra. Reading Vonnegut with his nonlinear narrative. Books will often have Acknowledgments. A page or two. Things that helped you. What matters. Everything I write is an Acknowledgment. What matters. And I've printed whole books.”
― Damon Thomas, Some Books Are Not For Sale

“Never think too highly of yourself for face damage cost the look of your appearance”
― Ben Jr Grey

“Finally, thank you to the vultures, past and present, that I've had the pleasure to work with-both the non-releasable vultures I've known intimately (especially Lew, Maveric, Boris, and Vader), and the wild vultures in rehabilitation and in the field. May your roosts be warm, your thermals strong, and your carrion only slightly spoiled”
― Katie Fallon, Vulture: The Private Life of an Unloved Bird

“The devil is an angel in my eyes.”
― Michael Patsanis

“Do not confuse healthy detachment with avoidance. In my opinion, the difference between the two is acceptance and acknowledgement.”
― Robin S. Baker

“Both men and women can treat each other like objects. They do this when they use sex and use each other’s bodies to meet their own inner need for acknowledgment and appreciation. Until they get married, the partners are on audition, and they can be thrown out at any point that one partner finds a better suitor or gets tired of the other.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

“Everything we have from wisdom to riches is nothing without God.”
― Daniel ANIKOR

“Only now I can’t remember, damn it, where the lies ended and I began. It’s all blurred. Everything suddenly seems to have become so messy, so gray, so undefined and terrifying. All I know is that things went terribly awry, this wasn’t the plan. The plan was to get better, to feel better, by any means. But I don’t feel better, I feel empty, empty and broken, still. And alone. More alone than ever before.”
― Amber Smith, The Way I Used to Be

“It's only words and words are all I've.

In my quiet moments of reflection, I've come to grasp a fundamental truth about myself: "Words are all I have."
This realization runs deep, emphasizing the significance of my composing journey. It's an acknowledgment that the very make-up of my being, from expressing joy to navigating sorrow, relies on the art of words. Through them, I shape my thoughts, unveil my emotions, and construct the narrative of my life.
In this self-awareness, I find both the strength and vulnerability that accompany the words I choose to wield. They become the bridge between my inner world and the external reality, giving meaning to my experiences and connecting me with others on a profound level.
This phrase encapsulates the essence of my personal journey—a recognition of the weight and wonder held within the words that accompany me through every epoch of my life.”
― Monika Ajay Kaul

“Learn to appreciate.
Appreciation is not just a routine or habitual action; instead, it can be a sudden, profound realization or insight. It adds a layer of depth to the concept, suggesting that genuine appreciation goes beyond surface-level acknowledgment and can bring about a deeper understanding or enlightenment.”
― Monika Ajay Kaul

“Let appreciation bloom openly. Like fragile flowers, kind words can wilt unheard. Shower the living with genuine admiration; their spirits will flourish in the sunshine of your acknowledgment.”
― Monika Ajay Kaul

“Being a scholar of stupidity, how might I avoid to thank a lot of people for their existence.
Carl William Brown”

“When a quote is quoted, it is recognized.”
― Tamerlan Kuzgov

“You can't sit around expecting others to know what you want if you don't tell them. And you can't sit around waiting to be acknowledged. That's the chick way. You have to ask for what you want and demand acknowledgment. That's the dude way.”
― Suzanne Rindell, Summer Fridays

“Monroe wanted to be an artist. She was one of the few I'd ever met who took all that crap seriously. That's what killed her, not the other. She wanted to be acknowledged as a great actress and yet she wanted to be loved like a child and obviously you can't have both. You have to choose which you want the most.”
― Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde
