Proving A Point Is Pointless Quotes

Colton picked up a glass of cider and tok a sip. "We're not a couple, Olivia and I, so if you want to flirt with me, it's all right." He was teasing, but there was also truth mixed into this game. Perhaps more than he knew, and I felt as though everything inside of me was stretched tight. I didn't want to face him, so I kept my gaze centered out on the dance floor. "I see. Should I bat my eyelashes or were you thinking along the lines of pointless small talk?" "Actually, I like the way you keep looking at me." "I don't keep looking at you." "Yes, you do." I didn't look at him, just to prove the point.

If victory comes (and it may not, it may still all prove pointless; she may even go through this a second time, with a second space station) it will take many more years. But Mon believes in victory again.

Russell’s point is not to assert his right to be left alone to his personal delusions, but that devising a theory that cannot be proved or disproved by observation is pointless in the sense that it teaches you nothing, irrespective of how passionately you may believe in it. You can invent any object or idea you like, but if there is no way of observing it or its consequences, you haven’t made a contribution to the scientific understanding of the universe.

The necessity of nothingness does not create anything. The real value and meaning of the Being are not in its necessity but in its very existence. If it did not exist, necessity would neither help nor create it. If the Being exists, and it does, it is pointless and redundant to insist on its necessity. The necessity of itself, without the Being, is nothing. The main point is if there is a Being, not if it is necessary. (What is) obvious need not be proved. Explanation of the Being and the creation or the existence of the world is not in its necessity but its existence. The Being is unborn and always existed regardless of being necessary or unnecessary.

You are the boss’s wife. I’ll call you by your official title.” I roll my eyes. “You call him Kirill when you are mad at him.” “I’ll call you by your name when I’m mad at you.” Geez. He’s an unbending asshole. And yet, I’ve always felt that Kirill is safe as long as Viktor is there. And while I hate it that he could probably protect him better than I could, I’m glad Viktor wouldn’t let anything happen to him. “Where is he?” I search around him as if a six-three muscled man is some sort of a needle in a haystack that can’t be spotted right away. “He’s checking something.” “What’s the something?” He raises a brow, “I’m under no obligation to report his actions to you.” “You are really an asshole, did you know that? It wouldn’t hurt anyone if you just answered the question.” “I’ll be the judge of that.” I cross my arms and stand taller, which is a bit pointless since Viktor is way bigger in height and in build. “You have a problem with me?” “My…” he says, in a robotic, dead pan tone, “What makes you think that? The fact that you’ve been spying on him? Or how you nearly got him killed in Russia? Or maybe, just maybe, the fact that you are doing it all over again now?” I briefly close my eyes. “The Russia incident wasn’t intentional and if I wanted him dead, I would have killed him when I came back.” “So you just shot him in the arm?” My lips part. “Did he tell you that?” “No. He said that one of his soldiers got him. But I suspected that wasn’t the case. He wouldn’t let himself be shot that easily unless it was either someone he was close to or he allowed it. Now, I’ve confirmed that it was you.” “I thought that…” “What? He’d married someone else? Tried to kill you and your family? You were so sure without even attempting to talk to him about it.” I purse my lips, then click my tongue. “I wasn’t exactly in the right state of mind.” “And you think he was? He had just found out you were alive after burying you with his own hands. You believe he was prepared to see you back?” My gulp gets stuck at the back of my throat and I stare at him for a few beats, not knowing what to say. On one hand, I can’t fault what he pointed out, but on the other, he didn’t experience the emotions I did after I had to go back to Russia. The feelings of betrayal, rage and utter despair, hell, even longing was there. I missed Kirill so much and I hated myself for it every day. Viktor steps forward. “I’m warning you. If you attempt to hurt him again, I won’t give a fuck that he forgives you. I will kill you and permanently remove you from his life, Alexandra.” I lift my chin. “I’d like to see you try.” “Don’t make me. I witnessed how he turned into a ghost of his former self after your alleged death, but I’d rather have that instead of burying him myself.” “I don’t want him hurt or dead, Viktor.” “Your track record doesn’t work in your favor. I’m going to need something more convincing then mere words.” “I’ll prove it to you.
