Quotes For Him (page 353)

I could not really complain, because he had only given me his word of honor as security; I ought to have required of him something substantial. Mark Twain
He had the attitude that he could do anything, and therefore so can you. He put his life in my hands. So that made me do something I didn't think I could do.... If you trust him, you can do things. If he's decided that something should happen, then he's just going to make it happen. (Elizabeth Holmes) Walter Isaacson
George Orwell quote: "Perhaps when the next Great War comes we may see that sight..."
Perhaps when the next Great War comes we may see that sight unprecedented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him. George Orwell
Alice Hoffman quote: "He wanted pain, I saw that in him, and what a man wants he..."
He wanted pain, I saw that in him, and what a man wants he will often manage to find. Alice Hoffman
Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One, two; why, then ‘tis time to do’t.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him? The thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now?—What, will these hands ne’er be clean?—No more o’that, my lord, no more o’that: you mar all with this starting. Here’s the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will... William Shakespeare
George Bernard Shaw quote: "I try to follow his example, not to imitate him."
I try to follow his example, not to imitate him. George Bernard Shaw
The Archangel took his role of fucker seriously. It made him sing the Marseillaise, for now he was proud of being a Frenchman and a Gallic cock, of which only males are proud. Then he died in the war. Jean Genet
To support his austerely upholstered nest and its rabble staff he put forth minimum effort for maximum return simply because it was easier to be rich than to be poor - Harshaw merely wished to live exactly as he liked, doing whatever he thought was best for him. Robert A. Heinlein
Walker Percy quote: "People usually told him the same joke two or three times."
People usually told him the same joke two or three times. Walker Percy
The Professor looked like a Protestant saint when the cannibal offered him the choice of taking six wives or being boiled alive. He wanted to mortify some flesh, but he didn't know which. Joyce Cary
Frank Miller quote: "I take his weapons away from him. Both of them."
I take his weapons away from him. Both of them. Frank Miller
Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Musical instruments in celebrating the praises of God would be no more suitable than the burning of incense, the lighting of lamps, and the restoration of the other shadows of the law. The Papists therefore, have foolishly borrowed, this, as well as many other things, from the Jews. Men who are fond of outward pomp may delight in that noise; but the simplicity which God recommends to us by the apostles is far more pleasing to him. Paul allows us to bless God in the public assembly of the... John Calvin
And so what moved him onward and down the office building’s stairway was not any sort of foolish hope that he could actually be saved, but competitive fury at the fact that he had been outdone by the suicidal improvisations of this fanatic. Neal Stephenson
Man, as man, has never realized himself. The greater part of him, his potential being, has always been submerged. What is history if not the endless story of his repeated failures? Henry Miller
