Manned Quotes (page 140)

Tom Robbins quote: "But man by his nature is an unnatural animal. If any creature..."
But man by his nature is an unnatural animal. If any creature stands a chance of defeating death, it is man. Tom Robbins
Many a man has borne himself proudly on the scaffold; surely the same pride should teach us to think truly about man's place in the world. Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cosy indoor warmth of traditional humanising myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigour, and the great spaces have a splendour of their own. Bertrand Russell
There was a man with tongue of wood who essayed to sing, and in truth it was lamentable; but there was one who heard the clip-clapper of this tongue of wood, and knew what the man wished to sing, and with that the singer was content. Stephen Crane
No man who cares about originality will ever be original. It's the man who's only thinking about doing a good job or telling the truth who becomes really original -- and doesn't notice it. C. S. Lewis
But you did not know that as soon as man rejects miracles, he will at once reject God as well, for man seeks not so much God as miracles. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Anthony Burgess quote: "Goodness comes from within... Goodness is something chosen. ..."
Goodness comes from within... Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man. Anthony Burgess
Do not despair. I know you will not despair. You have a manly and a proud heart. A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride. It is more difficult and more bitter when a man fails alone. Chinua Achebe
Till the last moment they dress a man up in peacock's feathers, till the last moment they hope for the good and not the bad; and though they may have premonitions of the other side of the coin, for the life of them they will not utter a real word beforehand; the thought alone makes them cringe; they wave the truth away with both hands, till the very moment when the man they've decked out so finely sticks their noses in it with his own two hands. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Mathias shrugged. After all, a criminal lawyer is not concerned with facts. He is concerned with probabilities. It is the novelist who is concerned with facts, whose job it is to say what a particular man did do on a particular occasion: the lawyer does not, cannot be expected to go further than show what the ordinary man would be most likely to do under presumed circumstances. Richard Hughes
What a strange, sad man is he!" said the child, as if speaking partly to herself. "In the dark night-time, he calls us to him, and holds thy hand and mine, as when we stood with him on the scaffold yonder! And in the deep forest, where only the old trees can hear, and the strip of sky see it, he talks with thee, sitting on a heap of moss! And he kisses my forehead, too, that the little brook would hardly wash it off! But here in the sunny day, and among all the people, he knows us not; nor... Nathaniel Hawthorne
Anthony Burgess quote: "Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he..."
Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man. Anthony Burgess
George Galloway quote: "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"
one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter George Galloway
Marlon Brando quote: "Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that..."
Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. Marlon Brando
Remember also that it is not knowledge but the yearning for knowledge that makes for a complete, accomplished man. Such a man does not stand still but perseveres in the face of adversity, nor does he remain untouched by the pain cause by absence. On the contrary, he recognizes himself in each cry, uttered or repressed, in the smallest rift, in the most pressing need. Elie Wiesel
Frank O'Hara quote: "A man was the cause of it. An unarmed man with a weapon."
A man was the cause of it. An unarmed man with a weapon. Frank O'Hara
