Boldness Quotes (page 10)

A writer writes for writers, a non-writer writes for his next-door neighbor or for the manager of the local bank branch, and he fears (often mistakenly) that they would not understand or, in any case, would not forgive his boldness. Umberto Eco
The impetuous creature--a pirate--started forward, sprang away; she had to hold the rail to steady herself, for a pirate it was, reckless, unscrupulous, bearing down ruthlessly, circumventing dangerously, boldly snatching a passenger, or ignoring a passenger, squeezing eel-like and arrogant in between, and then rushing insolently all sails spread up Whitehall. Virginia Woolf
For it is really better for us not to know a thing, because [God] has not revealed it to us, than to know it according to man’s wisdom, because he has been bold enough to assume it. Tertullian
Herman Melville quote: "Frighted Jonah trembles, and summoning all his boldness to his..."
Frighted Jonah trembles, and summoning all his boldness to his face, only looks so much the more a coward. Herman Melville
Victor Hugo quote: "The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first..."
The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it's boldness. Victor Hugo
Art is limitation; the essence of every picture is the frame. If you draw a giraffe, you must draw him with a long neck. If in your bold creative way you hold yourself free to draw a giraffe with a short neck, you will really find that you are not free to draw a giraffe. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Shirley Chisholm quote: "Be as bold as the first man or [woman] to eat an oyster."
Be as bold as the first man or [woman] to eat an oyster. Shirley Chisholm
Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities. Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is sound judgment to put on a bold face and play your hand for a hundred times what it is worth; forty-nine times out of fifty nobody dares to call it, and you roll in the chips. Mark Twain
The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. She likes masculine admiration, however violently expressed, and is quite able to take care of herself. More, she is well aware that very few men are bold enough to offer it without a plain invitation, and this awareness makes her extremely cynical of all women who complain of being harassed, beset, storied, and seduced. All... H. L. Mencken
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "You are reading a bold and universal headline which says ,’I..."
You are reading a bold and universal headline which says ,’I am here, I am here, I am here. Kurt Vonnegut
Communication is truth; communication is happiness. To share is our duty; to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are the most diseased; to conceal nothing; to pretend nothing; if we are ignorant to say so; if we love our friends to let them know it. Virginia Woolf
Faith—is the Pierless Bridge Supporting what We see Unto the Scene that We do not— Too slender for the eye It bears the Soul as bold As it were rocked in Steel With Arms of Steel at either side— It joins—behind the Veil To what, could We presume The Bridge would cease to be To Our far, vacillating Feet A first Necessity. Emily Dickinson
George R. R. Martin quote: "You've got a bold tongue, little man. One day, someone is like..."
You've got a bold tongue, little man. One day, someone is like to cut it out and make you eat it. George R. R. Martin
...The first symptom of true love in a man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other's qualities. Victor Hugo
