Almost any idea is good if a man has ability and is willing to work hard. The best idea is worthless if the creator is a loafer and ineffective. William Feather
And of course, the brain is not responsible for any of the sensations at all. The correct view is that the seat and source of sensation is the region of the heart. Aristotle
My gods or your gods, who know which are stronger?' That's why we honor them all - just in case. There are more cultures even than Gods in the Eight Worlds, and among them you'll find people who are willing to kill you, or each other, over any difference in belief or lifestyle or physical appearance you can imagine - and some you can't. They all think they're right. There's no Truth, Tammis, only differences of opinion. Joan D. Vinge
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all..."
The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all the exhilaration of a vice. Gilbert K. Chesterton
There's not much you can do about time - it just keeps on passing. But experience? Don't tell me that. I'm not proud of it, but I don't have any sexual desire. And what sort of experience can a writer have if she doesn't feel passion? It'd be like a chef without an appetite. Haruki Murakami
On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused…Nations work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe – at any rate for short periods – that running, jumping, and kicking a ball are tests of... George Orwell
Recall the face of the poorest and weakest man you have seen, and ask yourself if this step you contemplate is going to be any use to him. Mahatma Gandhi
Ray Bradbury quote: "Do you ever read any of the books you burn?"He laughed...."
Do you ever read any of the books you burn?"He laughed. "That's against the law!"Oh. Of course. Ray Bradbury
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "I learned you don't discover the evidence of any cause in its..."
I learned you don't discover the evidence of any cause in its result. Joyce Carol Oates
When you get everything you wanted, I think maybe you do have to be a little grateful for the people who got you there... whether or not they thought they were doing you any favors at the time. Jennifer Weiner
Salman Rushdie quote: "they came in search of the hot stuff, just like any man..."
they came in search of the hot stuff, just like any man calling on a tart. Salman Rushdie
There are three ways that men get what they want: by planning, by working, and by praying. Any great military operation takes careful planning or thinking. Then you must have well trained troops to carry it out: that's working. But between the plan and the operation there is always an unknown. That unknown spells defeat or victory; success or failure. It is the reaction of the actors to the ordeal when it actually comes. Some people call that getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His... George S. Patton
Henry David Thoreau quote: "Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is..."
Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe. Henry David Thoreau
Jacques-Henri Lartigue quote: "I have never taken a picture for any other reason than that at..."
I have never taken a picture for any other reason than that at that moment it made me happy to do so. Jacques-Henri Lartigue
