Lucid Quotes (page 2)

he remained restrained and strangely composed. It was a composure born of extreme provocation. It stemmed from a lucidity that lies beyond rage. Arundhati Roy
The essence of chastity is not the suppression of lust, but the total orientation of one's life towards a goal. Without such a goal, chastity is bound to become ridiculous. Chastity is the sine qua non of lucidity and concentration. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I think that at that time none of us quite believed in the Time Machine. The fact is, the Time Traveler was one of those men who are too clever to be believed: you never felt that you saw all round him; you always suspected some subtle reserve, some ingenuity in ambush, behind his lucid frankness. Had Filby shown the model and explained the matter in the Time Traveller's words, we should have shown him far less skepticism. For we should have perceived his motives; a pork butcher could... H. G. Wells
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings. The worm is in man's heart. That is where it must be sought. One must follow and understand this fatal game that leads from lucidity in the face of existence to flight from light. Albert Camus
Heinrich Heine quote: "Ordinarily he is insane, but he has lucid moments when he is..."
Ordinarily he is insane, but he has lucid moments when he is only stupid. Heinrich Heine

Wallace Stevens quote: "I know noble accents. And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I..."
I know noble accents. And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I know, too, That the blackbird is involved. In what I know. Wallace Stevens
Perhaps things are most beautiful when they are not quite real; when you look upon a scene as an outsider, and come to possess it in its entirety and forever; when you live in the present with the lucidity and feeling of memory; when, for want of connection, the world deepens and becomes art. Mark Helprin
Papa always makes it clear that he would like to know me as much more rational and lucid than the girls and women he gets to know during his analytic hours. Anna Freud
Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight. Marilyn French
Henry Flynt quote: "I'm actually a great fan of lucidity."
I'm actually a great fan of lucidity. Henry Flynt
Jacques Delors quote: "I had to think whether, after 50 years of hard slog, I was..."
I had to think whether, after 50 years of hard slog, I was still lucid and fresh enough for the job. Jacques Delors
I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity. Igor Stravinsky
Dylan Thomas quote: "Never be lucid, never state, if you would be regarded great."
Never be lucid, never state, if you would be regarded great. Dylan Thomas
Sidney Lumet quote: "For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are..."
For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are films that come to you by accident. Sidney Lumet
