Margaret Fuller quote: "What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful,..."
What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful, in a word, a complete life of its kind. Margaret Fuller
What is life when you come to think upon it, but a most excellent, accurately set, infinitely complicated machine for turning fat playful puppies into old mangy blind dogs, and proud war horses into skinny nags, and succulent young boys, to whom the world holds great delights and terrors, into old weak men, with running eyes, who drink ground rhino-horn? Isak Dinesen
Georgette Heyer quote: "What I mean is, like you to have everything you want. Wished..."
What I mean is, like you to have everything you want. Wished it was me, that's all Georgette Heyer
What is art but the life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite? Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Richard Hofstadter quote: "It is a poor head that cannot find plausible reason for doing..."
It is a poor head that cannot find plausible reason for doing what the heart wants to do. Richard Hofstadter
What disturbs and depresses young people is the hunt for happiness on the firm assumption that it must be met with in life. From this arises constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction. Deceptive images of a vague happiness hover before us in our dreams, and we search in vain for their original. Much would have been gained if, through timely advice and instruction, young people could have had eradicated from their minds the erroneous notion that the world has a great deal to offer them. Arthur Schopenhauer
What is the part of wisdom? To dream with one eye open; to be detatched from the world without being hostile to it; to welcome fugitive beauties and pity fugitive sufferings, without forgetting for a moment how fugitive they are. George Santayana
C. S. Lewis quote: "It is wonderful what you can do when you have to."
It is wonderful what you can do when you have to. C. S. Lewis
T. S. Eliot quote: "It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things."
It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot
J. M. Barrie quote: "it was like an examination paper that asks grammar, when what..."
...it was like an examination paper that asks grammar, when what you want to be asked is Kings of England. J. M. Barrie
Oscar Wilde quote: "It can never be necessary to do what is not honourable."
It can never be necessary to do what is not honourable. Oscar Wilde
What freedom men and women could have, were they not constantly tricked and trapped and enslaved and tortured by their sexuality! The only drawback in that freedom is that without it one would not be a human. One would be a monster. John Steinbeck
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?"
Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels? Leo Tolstoy
What a fine fellow is Quincey! I believe in my heart of hearts that he suffered as much about Lucy’s death as any of us, but he bore himself through it like a moral Viking. If America can go on breeding men like that, she will be a power in the world indeed. Bram Stoker
