Famous quotes

“What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) American philosopher, essayist, and poet

“He was wounded. I suppose some sharp thing in me wanted to sting him, for making me need him now. After he'd once cut me to the edge of what a soul will bear. But that was senseless…. I looked at this grown-up Loyd and tried to make sense of him, seeing clearly that he was too sweet to survive around me. I would go to my grave expecting the weapon in the empty hand.”

“Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.”

Albert Schweitzer (1875–1965) French-German physician, theologian, musician and philosopher

“You see I am like a surgeon in a hospital; all these [sketches / watercolors] lying around me are my patients, and as I walk about among them I notice those most in need of doctoring. I pick out some sickly looking specimen and say to myself, 'Only wait a moment, and I will find some remedy for you'; some need much medicine, and some even require a severe operation to bring them round. Look at that one in the corner. I believe it is suffering from jaundice, but doubtless I shall find a cure for it.”

Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch (1824–1903) Dutch painter of the Hague School (1824-1903)
