Arrogant Quotes (page 8)

Its big men are mostly little men with fancy offices and a lot of money. A great many of them are stupid little men, with reach-me-down brains, small-town arrogance and a sort of animal knack of smelling out the taste of the stupidest part of the public.

The suffering of men must never be a mere silent residue... Michel Foucault

Close cycles. Not because of pride or arrogance, but because that no longer fits your life Paulo Coelho
When you're all alone out there, on the end of the typewriter, with each new story a new appraisal by the world of whether you can still get it up or not, arrogance and self-esteem and deep breathing are all you have. It often looks like egomania. I assure you it's the bold coverup of the absolutely terrified. Harlan Ellison
Philip Larkin quote: "It never worked for me. Something to do with violence A long..."
It never worked for me. Something to do with violence A long way back, and wrong rewards, And arrogant eternity. Philip Larkin
I was not really angry: I felt for him all the time, and longed to be reconciled; but I determined he should make the first advances, or at least show some signs of an humble and contrite spirit, first; for, if I began, it would only minister to his self-conceit, increase his arrogance, and quite destroy the lesson I wanted to give him. Anne Bronte
Doris Lessing quote: "Anna, there's something very arrogant about insisting on the..."

If I have succeeded in some small way, if only in one small corner of the world, amongst the men and women I love, then I shall count myself blessed, and blessed, and blessed, and the work goes on. William Morris
