10 QUOTES WITH «DETACHMENT»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word detachment.
1
Scott Anderson
The peculiarities of my childhood, of constantly moving through so many different cultures, of always being the outsider, may have made me extraordinarily self-sufficient, but it had also bred a certain detachment, a sense that the world was a place to explore rather than truly inhabit. This manifested as a kind of shyness, even timidity.
2
Edward St Aubyn
Detachment is what interests me, seeing how people couldn't have been any other way, how they were the product of forces that they had no control over.
3
Pat Barker
That balance between involvement and detachment is what novelists do. It's the ideal relationship between a novelist and a character, I think, total involvement and identity and empathy, stopping short of being autobiographical - in my case, anyway - but also quite detached.
4
John Desmond Bernal
The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development.
5
Bodhidharma
The essence of the Way is detachment.
6
John le Carre
The monsters of our childhood do not fade away, neither are they ever wholly monstrous. But neither, in my experience, do we ever reach a plane of detachment regarding our parents, however wise and old we may become. To pretend otherwise is to cheat.
7
James Dickey
Detachment produces a peculiar state of mind. Maybe that's the worst sentence of all, to be deprived of feeling what a human being ought to be entitled to feel.
8
Meister Eckhart
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
9
Victor Garber
The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.
10
Adam Gopnik
All tastes have the quality of being in some way artificial and invented. The secret of life is to have enough detachment from your tastes and your values to see that they are a little bit absurd.
