Quotes about Impossibility


A poet without love were a physical and metaphysical impossibility.

Thomas Carlyle

To emboss a stamp of order on time's flux is an impossibility I must make possible through my art, such as it is

The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.

Anita Brookner

This autonomy of man, this attempt of the Ego to understand itself out of itself, is the lie concerning man which we call sin. The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God—that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.

Emil Brunner

Every new idea is an impossibility until it is born.

Ron Brown

The Wright brothers flew through the smoke screen of impossibility.

Dorothea Brande

Progress is what happens when impossibility yields to necessity.

Arnold Glasow

Each one of us is a statistical impossibility around which hover a million other lives that were never destined to be born.

Loren Eiseley

To be poor and independent is very nearly an impossibility.

William Cobbett

We are an impossibility in an impossible universe

Ray Bradbury

A Poet without Love were a physical and metaphysical impossibility.

Thomas Carlyle

We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.

Here, here, and everywhere, he leaves and takes, Dexterity so obeying appetite That what he will he does, and does so much That proof is called impossibility.

William Shakespeare
