Philosophy Quote by Dan Brown — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Omnipotent-benevolent simply means that God is all-powerful and well-meaning.'”

“It has always been this way. Death is followed by birth. To reach paradise, man must pass through inferno. - Bertrand Zobrist”

“Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith―acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through modern Sunday school. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors.”

“God answers all prayers, but sometimes his answer is 'no'.”

“There comes a moment in history when ignorance is no longer a forgivable offense... a moment when only wisdom has the power to absolve. - Bertrand Zobrist”

“These books can't possibly compete with centuries of established history, especially when that history is endorsed by the ultimate bestseller of all time.”

“A few dud universes can really clutter up your basement.”

“A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them.”

“It is impossible, or not easy, to alter by argument what has long been absorbed by habit”

“The moment we cry in a film is not when things are sad but when they turn out to be more beautiful than we expected them to be.”

“Knowledge is power is time is money.”

“If translation is realignment, what specifically is getting realigned? Our perceptions, our literary categories, our languages? I would say it's the text's relationship to its audience-who is speaking, who is addressed, where the text is "pointing." Any text can, and any good text will, redirect our perceptions, redefine the genre it's working within, and change the resources or enlarge the scope of the language it's written in, but the particular "realignment" that takes place in translation refers to the vector pointing from author to reader.”
