Genuineness Quotes (page 13)

Such hours are beautiful to live, but hard to describe, so I will leave it to the imagination of my readers, merely saying that the house was full of genuine happiness. Louisa May Alcott
Many people genuinely do not wish to be saints, and it is probable that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never felt much temptation to be human beings. George Orwell
Suzanne Collins quote: "People deal with me, but they are genuinely fond of Prim...."
People deal with me, but they are genuinely fond of Prim. Maybe there will be enough fondness to keep her alive. Suzanne Collins
Deep down in his heart the genuine Englishman has a rugged distaste for seeing his country invaded by a foreign army. People were asking themselves by what right these aliens had overrun British soil. An ever-growing feeling of annoyance had begun to lay hold of the nation. P. G. Wodehouse
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. Stanley Kubrick
Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial. Fernando Pessoa
Base words are uttered only by the base. And can for such at once be understood; But noble platitudes? ah, there's a case. Where the most careful scrutiny is needed. To tell a voice that's genuinely good. From one that's base but merely has succeeded. W. H. Auden
The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings? not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed. Vincent Van Gogh
A modest dress is a very good thing, if it be the genuine indication of a humble heart, and is to instruct; but it is a bad thing if it be the hypocritical disguise of a proud ambitious heart, and is to deceive. Let men be really as good as they seem to be, but not seem to be better than really they are. Matthew Henry
We do not trust educated people and rarely, alas, produce them, for we do not trust the independence of mind which alone makes a genuine education possible. James Baldwin
Kate Chopin quote: "A general air of surprise and genuine satisfaction fell upon..."
A general air of surprise and genuine satisfaction fell upon everyone as they saw the pianist enter Kate Chopin
The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic. Ralph Waldo Emerson
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else. Eleanor Roosevelt
Although in the past I had seen a few exchanges of genuine affection between them, the Warshaw men were awkward and ill at ease with each other. Michael Chabon
These days, people spent too much time striving to understand their feelings - and then ended up with none that were genuine. Dean Koontz
