Declaring Quotes (page 6)

Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim. Haruki Murakami
Jane Austen quote: "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How..."
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! Jane Austen
In fact I believe that one day a reappraiser will come and declare that, far from having been a frivolous firebird, I was a rigid moralist: kicking sin, cuffing stupidity, ridiculing the vulgar and cruel—and assigning sovereign power to tenderness, talent and pride. Vladimir Nabokov
Am I sure that there is no mind behind our existence and no mystery anywhere in the universe? I think I am. What joy, what relief there would be, if we could declare so with complete conviction. If that were so I could wish to live for ever. How terrifying and glorious the role of man if, indeed, without guidance and without consolation he must create from his own rituals the meaning for his existence and write the rules whereby he lives. Thornton Wilder
The difference between raman and varelse is not in the creature judged, but in the creature judging. When we declare an alien species to be raman, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity. It means that we have. Orson Scott Card
Hunter S. Thompson quote: "To make a point of declaring friendship is to cheapen it. For..."
To make a point of declaring friendship is to cheapen it. For men's emotions are very rarely put into words successfully. Hunter S. Thompson
Where two principles really do meet which cannot be reconciled with one another, then each man declares the other a fool and a heretic Ludwig Wittgenstein
Presidents have absolutely gone against the will of Congress. Congress hasn't declared a war since December 7, 1941, and yet we've been at war ever since with somebody or other in order to justify the war machine. Now we have alienated almost the entire earth Gore Vidal
Present global culture is a kind of arrogant newcomer. It arrives on the planetary stage following four and a half billion years of other acts, and after looking about for a few thousand years declares itself in possession of eternal truths. But in a world that is changing as fast as ours, this is a prescription for disaster. No nation, no religion, no economic system, no body of knowledge, is likely to have all the answers for our survival. There must be many social systems that would work... Carl Sagan
Of course we're Christian. The very name of the church declares that. The more people see us and come to know us, the more I believe they will come to realize that we are trying to exemplify in our lives and in our living the great ideals which (Jesus Christ) taught. Gordon B. Hinckley
It does take great maturity to understand that the opinion we are arguing for is merely the hypothesis we favor, necessarily imperfect, probably transitory, which only very limited minds can declare to be a certainty or a truth. Milan Kundera
With an exceedingly contemptuous expression, Idabel drew up to her full height. "Son," she said, and spit between her fingers, "what you've got in your britches is no news to me, and no concern of mine: hell, I've fooled around with nobody but boys since first grade. I never think like I'm a girl; you've got to remember that, or we can't never be friends." For all its bravado, she made this declaration with a special and compelling innocence; and when she knocked one fist against the other,... Truman Capote
Thomas Pynchon quote: "Explosion without an objective', declared Miles Blundell, 'is..."
Explosion without an objective', declared Miles Blundell, 'is politics in its purest form'. Thomas Pynchon
Jane Austen quote: "The boy protested that she should not; she continued to..."
The boy protested that she should not; she continued to declare that she would, and the argument ended only with the visit. Jane Austen
So if anyone is to declare how the all was in this way genuinely born, he must also mix in the form of the wandering cause-how it is its nature to sweep things around. In this way, then, we must retreat, and, by taking in turn another, new beginning suited to these very matters, just as in what was before us earlier, so too in what is before us now, we must begin again from the beginning. Plato
