Evolving Quotes

“She was to be content to weave a steady life with him, all one fabric, but perhaps brocaded with the occasional flower of an adventure. But how could she know what she would feel next year? How could one ever know? How could one say Yes? for years and years? The little yes, gone on a breath! Why should one be pinned down by that butterfly word? Of course it had to flutter away and be gone, to be followed by other yes's and no's! Like the straying of butterflies.”
― D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover

“You are like a rose
Soft, glowing and evolving
It’s time for you
To let go of the deadly thorns

Never trust
The guy who claims
He misses you but never puts
In effort to actually
Set plans with you

Fall in love
With someone
Who helps you to fly high
And not with someone
Who cannot lift you up
When you crash down

You are like a rose
Soft, glowing and evolving
It’s time for you
To let go of the deadly thorns”
― Jyoti Patel

“Now here is an interesting thing about my life journey. Choosing a partner for me has certainly been an evolving process, at first it was about finding a 'good' woman, and the most appropriate "market" for sourcing out such kind of a woman, at first I thought, was the church. And coming from a strong church background myself, that was easy, however, it was not as wow or soul-stimulating as I expected it to be. To be quite honest, it was a very soul-starving experience. And I'm not putting the blame on anyone here. I probably needed that to figure out what or who it was that my soul was truly meant for.

The thing about a lot of 'good' women is that they are almost always pro religion/morality but not necessarily pro DEPTH/GROWTH, and that can become a very frustrating thing for someone like me who enjoys growing, living his life full out and out of the box.”
― Lebo Grand

“We are used to things starting out small and simple and then progressing--evolving--to become ever more complex and sophisticated, so this is naturally what we expect to find on archaeological sites. It upsets our carefully structured ideas of how civilizations should behave, how they should mature and develop, when we are confronted by a case like Göbekli Tepe that starts out perfect at the beginning and then slowly devolves until it is just a pale shadow of its former self.”
― Graham Hancock, Magicians of the Gods: The Forgotten Wisdom of Earth's Lost Civilization

Learning transcends childhood and adolescence just as teaching transcends the classroom. Our environment is the most strict and dangerous educator we will ever have.”
― Paul Valéry

“It’s as if once you feel a connection with someone, you assume it will always be so. The sum of daily interactions and activities continually shapes us and adds nuance to our understanding of the world so that no one is the same as yesterday, nor will today’s self be identical to tomorrow’s.

Opinions, attitudes, and beliefs change. So it doesn’t matter how long you have known or how well you think you know people; if you stop listening, you will eventually lose your grasp of who they are and how to relate to them.

Relying on the past to understand someone in the present is doomed to failure. The French writer André Maurois wrote, “A happy marriage is a long conversation that always seems too short.”
― Kate Murphy, You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters

“Cope with my problems and brutally face them the way they are!
When I have a problem, get it right, get it fast, get it out and get it over…
Gather all the information needed and make sure it is right.

State clearly that I do not know all the facts. Then promptly state the facts I do know. My objective should be to get it right, get it quick, get it out, and get it over.
SEE, MY PROBLEMS WON'T IMPROVE WITH AGE!!!

Sometimes things don't go the way we believe they will. The solution is to face it and act. Charlie: "We've done a lot of that - scrambled out of wrong decisions. I would argue that that's a big part of having a reasonable record in life. You can't avoid wrong decisions. But if you recognize them promptly and do something about them, you can frequently turn the lemon into lemonade.”
― Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger

“You can survive violence 
by reacting more violently 
But you cannot escape ignorance 
by continuing to act ignorantly ”
― Ricardo Derose

“Just because a person says they are Christian it does not mean they are evolved. Churches are a refuge for the wounded. Everyone is at their stage of evolution. Some can ask for forgiveness or forgive others. Others, still believe in the adage and eye for an eye in the old testament. Expect nothing from people that call themselves Christian and you won't be disappointed.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Every Religion says humanity can’t live, share, create and evolve meaningfully without their beliefs and creeds.

I say it is a very big LIE.

The foundation of the lie is religion saying humanity is nothing without their respective beliefs, doctrines, and creeds. This lie has disrupted the development of humans for so many years now, that is why humanity is yet to understand how powerful they are.

We have tried developing religion; can we try developing HUMANITY?

When we focus and what brings us together; Humanity and understand that we don’t have any problem with Hausa, Igbo, or Yoruba, then we see our diversity and differences become one of our greatest catalysts to growth.

I ask again, can we still be humans?

Your Humanity is enough and my humanity is enough. Let us embrace it to the fullest.”
― Chidi Ejeagba
