Dangerous Quotes (page 35)

[W]hat makes patriotic and religious fanatics such dangerous opponents is not the deaths of the fanatics themselves, but their willingness to accept the deaths of a fraction of their number in order to annihilate or crush their infidel enemy. Jared Diamond
The best literature is always a take [in the musical sense]; there is an implicit risk in its execution, a margin of danger that is the pleasure of the flight, of the love, carrying with it a tangible loss but also a total engagement that, on another level, lends the theater its unparalleled imperfection faced with the perfection of film. I don’t want to write anything but takes. Julio Cortazar
When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves... Tom Robbins
The curt maneuver forced hearty laughter from all of the fathers in the ballroom, who were delighted by the illusion of danger and the impotence of Nature. Neal Stephenson
Librarians are wonderful people, partly because they are, on the whole, unaware of how dangerous knowledge is. Karl Marx upended the political landscape of the twentieth century sitting at a library table. Still, modern librarians are more afraid of ingnorance than they are of the potential devastation that knowledge can bring. (p. 192) Walter Mosley
Frank Herbert quote: "Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous."
Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous. Frank Herbert
George R. R. Martin quote: "It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great..."
It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great lords play their game of thrones. George R. R. Martin
Haruki Murakami quote: "The most dangerous creature here would have to be me. So maybe..."
The most dangerous creature here would have to be me. So maybe I'm just scared of my own shadow. Haruki Murakami
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "There is a joy in danger."
There is a joy in danger. Napoleon Bonaparte
Positive obsession is about not being able to stop just because you’re afraid and full of doubts. Positive obsession is dangerous. It’s about not being able to stop at all. Octavia Butler
And when you have it, what then? Some secrets are safer kept hidden. Some secrets are too dangerous to share, even with those you love and trust. George R. R. Martin
Another blast from Rivenrock shivered the air. It snatched Mhoram's head up, and he faced Covenant with tears streaming down his cheeks. "It is as I have said," he breathed achingly. "Madness is not the only danger in dreams." Stephen R. Donaldson
There is always a danger that in our asceticism we shall be tempted to imitate the sufferings of Christ. This is a pious but godless ambition, for beneath it there always lurks the notion that it is possible for us to step into Christ's shoes and suffer as he did and kill the old Adam. We are then presuming to undertake that bitter work of eternal redemption which Christ himself wrought for us. The motive of asceticism was more limited--to equip us for better service and deeper humiliation. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
J. M. Barrie quote: "All are keeping a sharp look-out in front, but none suspects..."
All are keeping a sharp look-out in front, but none suspects that the danger may be creeping up from behind. J. M. Barrie
Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. Thomas Paine
