Mans Quotes (page 359)

Where two principles really do meet which cannot be reconciled with one another, then each man declares the other a fool and a heretic Ludwig Wittgenstein
Aristotle quote: "It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good..."
It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen. Aristotle
Harshaw had the arrogant humility of the man who has learned so much that he is aware of his own ignorance and he saw no point in 'measurements' when he did not know what he was measuring. Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody can imagine how nothing could turn into something. Nobody can get an inch nearer to it by explaining how something could turn into something else. It is really far more logical to start by saying ‘In the beginning God created heaven and earth’ even if you only mean ‘In the beginning some unthinkable power began some unthinkable process.’ For God is by its nature a name of mystery, and nobody ever supposed that man could imagine how a world was created any more than he could create one.... Gilbert K. Chesterton
All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride. Sophocles
Never shall a young man, Thrown into despair. By those great honey-coloured. Ramparts at your ear, Love you for yourself alone. And not your yellow hair. William Butler Yeats
But the both agreed that it's always nice to know that your wife is desired by another man, although they wouldn't go any further than that. Paulo Coelho
Walter Mosley quote: "We born dyin'...But you ask a man an' he talk like he gonna..."
We born dyin'...But you ask a man an' he talk like he gonna live forevah. Walter Mosley
In bed our yesterdays are too oppressive: if a man can only get up, though it be but to whistle or to smoke, he has a present which offers some resistance to the past—sensations which assert themselves against tyrannous memories. George Eliot
Leo Tolstoy quote: "In order to understand, observe, deduce, man must first be..."
In order to understand, observe, deduce, man must first be conscious of himself as alive. Leo Tolstoy
The most agonising thing is to drop doubt into a man about his being a reality, three-dimensional - and not some other kind of reality. Yevgeny Zamyatin
If money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, binding me and nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds? Can it not dissolve and bind all ties? Is it not, therefore, the universal agent of separation? Karl Marx
Voltaire quote: "Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers."
Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers. Voltaire
He has the memory of a convict, the balls of a fireman, and the eyesight of a housebreaker. When there is crime to fight, Landsman tears around Sitka like a man with his pant leg caught on a rocket. It's like there's a film score playing behind him, heavy on the castanets. The problem comes in the hours when he isn't working, when his thoughts start blowing out the open window of his brain like pages from the blotter. Sometimes it takes a heavy paperweight to pin them down. Michael Chabon
The three of them knew it. She was Kafka’s mistress. Kafka had dreamt her. The three of them knew it. He was Kafka’s friend. Kafka had dreamt him. The three of them knew it. The woman said to the friend, Tonight I want you to have me. The three of them knew it. The man replied: If we sin, Kafka will stop dreaming us. One of them knew it. There was no longer anyone on earth. Kafka said to himself Now the two of them have gone, I’m left alone. I’ll stop dreaming myself. Jorge Luis Borges
