Quotes

The human mind appears suddenly and inexplicably out of some unknown and unimaginable void. It passes half its known life in the mental chaos of sleep. Even when awake it is a victim of its own ill-adjustment, of disease, of age, of external suggestion, of nature's compulsions; it doubts its own sensations and trusts only in instruments and averages. Christopher Morley
Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain. Christopher Morley
A doctor is advertised by the bodies he cures. My business is advertised by the minds I stimulate. And let me tell you that the book business is different from other trades. People don't know they want books. I can see just by looking at you that your mind is ill for lack of books but you are blissfully unaware of it! Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley quote: "It's a good thing to turn your mind upside down now and then,..."
It's a good thing to turn your mind upside down now and then, like an hour-glass, to let the particles run the other way. Christopher Morley
Do you know why people are reading more books now than ever before? Because the terrific catastrophe of the war has made them realize that their minds are ill. The world was suffering from all sorts of mental fevers and aches and disorders, and never knew it. Now our mental pangs are only too manifest. We are all reading, hungrily, hastily, trying to find out—after the trouble is over—what was the matter with our minds. Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley quote: "I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they..."
I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter. Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley quote: "The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its..."
The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking. Christopher Morley
The world has been printing books for 450 years, and yet gunpowder still has a wider circulation. Never mind! Printer's ink is the greater explosive: it will win. Christopher Morley
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity. Christopher Morley
We call a child's mind 'small' simply by habit; perhaps it is larger than ours is, for it can take in almost anything without effort. Christopher Morley
