Man Quotes (page 568)

We lead two lives, and the half of our soul is madness, and half heaven is lit by a black sun. I say I am a man, is the other that hides in me? Arthur Machen
Arthur Schopenhauer quote: "A man shows his character just in the way in which he deals..."
A man shows his character just in the way in which he deals with trifles---for then he is off his guard. Arthur Schopenhauer
No man can ever feel his own identity aright excepr his eyes be closed; as if darkness were indeed the proper element of our essence, though light be more congenial to our clayey part. Herman Melville
Oh many a peer of England brews Lovelier liquor than the Muse, And malt does more than Milton can To justify God's ways to man. A. E. Housman
To love mankind for the sake of God-that has been the most nobel and far-fetched feeling yet achieved by human beings. The idea that without some sanctifying ulterior motive, a love of mankind is just one more brutish stupidity, that the predisposition to such a love must first find its weight, its refinement, its grain of salt and pinch of ambergris in another even higher predisposition-whoever first felt and 'witnessed' this, and however much his tongue may have stuttered in attempting to... Friedrich Nietzsche
Function and man appear synonymous because the function can only be pointed toward by being the function. There is no being except in a mode of being. [...] Both scholar and Christian are functioning in identical ways, just under different metaphor, and both are evading the mechanics of being. Joseph Chilton Pearce
With the wise man, what he has does not cease to be enjoyable because some one else has something else. Envy, in fact, is one form of vice, partly moral, partly intellectual, which consists in seeing things never in themselves but only in their relations Bertrand Russell
I fail to see where it would have been more uplifting for them to have been inside a church listening to a man urging them to 'contemplate the sufferings of our Lord,' which is just another way of punishing one's self for nothing. It is very much better for them to climb the rocks in their bare clean feet and meet Him face to face in their search for the eternal in beauty. Zora Neale Hurston
Agatha Christie quote: "You're a man milliner, Poirot. I never notice what people have..."
You're a man milliner, Poirot. I never notice what people have on."You should join a nudist colony Agatha Christie
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "The weak man becomes strong when he has nothing, for then only..."
The weak man becomes strong when he has nothing, for then only can he feel the wild, mad thrill of despair. Arthur Conan Doyle
Theodore Parker quote: "Everything gives way to money, and money gives way to nothing,..."
Everything gives way to money, and money gives way to nothing, neither to man nor to God. Theodore Parker
The tragedy in his life already existed. To love an atmospheric spirit. That was the real sorrow. Hopelessness itself. Nowhere on the printed page, nowhere in the annals of man, would her name appear: no local habitation, no name. There are girls like that, he thought, and those you love most, the ones where there is no hope because it has eluded you at the very moment you close your hands around it. Philip K. Dick
Stephen Crane quote: "LVIA man feared that he might find an assassin; Another that..."
LVIA man feared that he might find an assassin; Another that he might find a victim. One was more wise than the other. Stephen Crane
The race of gods and men is one, and from one mother we both draw our breath. Yet all the difference in our power holds us apart, so that man is nothing, but the brazen floor of heaven is eternally unshakable. Pindar
External life being so mighty, the instruments so huge and terrible, the performances so great, the thoughts so great and threatening, you produce a someone who can exist before it. You invent a man who can stand before the terrible appearances. This way he can't get justice and he can't give justice, but he can live. And this is what mere humanity always does. It's made up of these inventors or artists, millions and millions of them, each in his own way trying to recruit other people to play... Saul Bellow
