Approving Quotes (page 10)

It is the storyteller's task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval. Graham Greene
Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. Thomas Jefferson
Privately there were some things in Heaven of which she did not approve. There was too much singing, and she didn’t see how even the Elect could survive for very long the celestial laziness which was promised. She would find something to do in Heaven. There must be something to take up one’s time – some clouds to darn, some weary wings to rub with liniment. Maybe the collars of the robes needed turning now and then, and when you come right down to it, she couldn’t believe that even in heaven... John Steinbeck
My love is as a fever, longing still. For that which longer nurseth the disease; Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill, The uncertain sickly appetite to please. My reason, the physician to my love, Angry that his prescriptions are not kept, Hath left me, and I desperate now approve, Desire his death, which physic did except. Past cure I am, now reason is past care, And frantic-mad with evermore unrest; My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are, At random from the truth vainly... William Shakespeare
Disdaining the heroic outfit, excitable in her methods, garrulous, episodical, shrill, she misled her lover much as she misled her aunt. He mistook her fertility for weakness. He supposed her "as clever as they make 'em," but no more, not realizing that she was penetrating to the depths of his soul, and approving of what she found there. E. M. Forster
Victor Hugo quote: "Certainly, I approve of political opinions, but there are..."
Certainly, I approve of political opinions, but there are people who do not know where to stop. Victor Hugo
...everyone endeavors as much as possible to make others love what he loves, and to hate what he hates... This effort to make everyone approve what we love or hate is in truth ambition, and so we see that each person by nature desires that other persons should live according to his way of thinking... Baruch Spinoza
Sherman Alexie quote: "I was young and frightened and craved respect and its ugly..."
I was young and frightened and craved respect and its ugly cousin, approval, so I did as I was told. Sherman Alexie
Jonathan Franzen quote: "He had a happy canine way of seeking approval without seeming..."
He had a happy canine way of seeking approval without seeming insecure. Jonathan Franzen
Anthony Burgess quote: "I see what is right and approve, but I do what is wrong."
I see what is right and approve, but I do what is wrong. Anthony Burgess
Nobody ever recommended a dictatorship aiming at ends other than those he himself approved. He who advocates dictatorship always advocates the unrestricted rule of his own will Ludwig von Mises
Vincent Van Gogh quote: "I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little..."
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove. Vincent Van Gogh
We all disapprove of prostitution; but we do not all approve of purity. The only way to discuss the social evil is to get at once to the social ideal. We can all see the national madness; but what is national sanity? Gilbert K. Chesterton
And you're worried, not because you're headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you think those vampires won't approve of you, correct? Stephenie Meyer
Through the forest have I gone. But Athenian found I none, On whose eyes I might approve This flower's force in stirring love. Night and silence.--Who is here? Weeds of Athens he doth wear: This is he, my master said, Despised the Athenian maid; And here the maiden, sleeping sound, On the dank and dirty ground. Pretty soul! she durst not lie Near this lack-love, this kill-courtesy. Churl, upon thy eyes I throw All the power this charm doth owe. When thou wakest, let love forbid Sleep his seat... William Shakespeare
