Resolution
Quotes - Is anything truly impossible?
“The
importance of resolution over craft is one of the most important shifts in art
making besides the creation of Photoshop.”

“If
you see a leader solving one conflict wisely, remember he is working hard to
prevent 10 of such from happening!”

Israelmore Ayivor, Leaders' Ladder
“In
the construction of one’s life, we define ourselves largely by the problems we
engage and the debts we incur. The greater and more sophisticated the problems,
the greater and more sophisticated the person. True resolution, or
transcendence of endless dichotomy, is rare indeed. To truly make a debt vanish
requires, in a way, a certain kind of magic. In all traditions, this is looked
upon as one of the great mystical tricks. It is not forgotten, fixed, or hidden
perfectly; it disappears. To have this occur, one must do more than simply
forgive (another or oneself), although in action that’s an important step. One
intuits the value of the problem as the birth of possibility.”

Darrell Calkins, Re:
“The
simple, external acts in which you resolve shame and guilt, and set right a
debt, by passing by them all and giving something grander even so and instead
of. You end the circle by leaving it behind. Conscience brings awareness of the
need to change something, but the source of your actions must become
inspiration and devotion. You’re not doing it to get out of debt; you are doing
it because you know it to be the thing to do.”

“Ileni
swallowed hard.
"Yes,"
she said. "I am. But it's all going to be the same, for a very long time.
The sorcerers will have all the power, and the assassins will eventually
regather and start attacking again... and I haven't made any difference at
all."
"Well,"
Evin said, "I think you've made quite a bit of difference to the people
whose lives you saved. Speaking as one of them."
She
stepped away from the edge, closer to him.
"Do
you regret it?" he asked evenly.
His
face was half-shadowed, but his eyes were bright and piercing. Not wide with
pain and devoid of hope. She felt again his hand, limp and helpless in hers.
Felt it tighten as Sorin plummeted past the gray rock.
"No,"
she said. And for at least that moment, it was entirely true.”

“Desires
occur because pratyakhyan [resolutions to not repeat the mistake] were not
done. It comes in the memory because pratikraman [repentances] were not done.”

Dada Bhagwan

“Is
anything truly impossible? Or is it that the path to our goals appears too
unclear to follow? It seems to me that if you seek hard enough, pray hard
enough, you usually stumble across a scattering of breadcrumbs that marks the
trail leading to the goal you once considered beyond your reach.”

“I
know the resolution. I know the end of the story before it ever begins. I must
choose love. And for this, I will surely die.”

fellow creature.”

“Life
is just repeated attempts at trying to do better.”

Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every
Day of the Year
“As
we did every New Year's Eve we made ridiculous resolutions that no one would
keep, and quietly we all wondered what the coming year would hold, each of us
praying for our own private miracles. Good health. Better health. A marriage
for this child, a good job for another. This hopefulness was something
hardwired into our psyches, that a new year might mean some monumental
something wonderful could happen to bring us happiness at a level we had never
known. A new year was a chance to start over. Maybe even, just maybe, there
would be peace on earth for one entire day.”

Dorothea Benton Frank, The Last Original Wife
“I
will bestir myself,' was her resolution, 'and try to be wise if I cannot be
good.”

Charlotte Brontë, Shirley
“Only
trust me! You have fallen into a fit of despondency and there is not the least
need! In fact, nothing could be more fatal, in any predicament! It encourages
one to suppose that there is nothing to be done, when a little resolution is
all that is wanted to bring matters to a happy conclusion.”
―
Georgette Heyer, The Grand Sophy
“The
first and last weakness of his life, before him again. For a moment he felt
himself blinded by his own memories; his own remembrances of the wits and wiles
of Marian Halcombe that would steal into his thoughts; the sound of her
laughter at his outrageous tales, the shadowed glance of distrust, the way her
eyebrows would raise ever so slightly despite her resolution to seem
disinterested in his foreign insights. She was the first woman he ventured to
have complete equality in matching his tremendous cleverness.”
