Mans Quotes (page 386)

One night i rode home - it was a confession - and i came staggering across the yard and i fell into the rosebush and crawled up the stairs on my hands and knees and i was sick on the floor beside my bed. In the morning I tried to tell him I was sorry, and do you know what he said? 'Why, Tom, you were just jolly'. 'Jolly,' if I did it. A drunken man didn't crawl home. Just Jolly John Steinbeck
A man who uses a great many words to express his meaning is like a bad marksman who, instead of aiming a single stone at an object, takes up a handful and throws at it in hopes he may hit. Samuel Johnson
He is altogether selfish, she thought in some surprise, the only man I have ever sat and talked to alone, and I am impatient; he is simply not very interesting. Shirley Jackson

...that swimming, sloping, elusive something about the dark-bluish tint of the iris which seemed still to retain the shadows it had absorbed of ancient, fabulous forests where there were more birds than tigers and more fruit than thorns, and where, in some dappled depth, man's mind had been born... Vladimir Nabokov
There is something which unites magic and applied science (technology) while separating them from the "wisdom" of earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique. C. S. Lewis
The ways of sin are curious . . . I guess if a man had to shuck off everything he had, inside and out, he'd manage to hide a few little sins somewhere for his own discomfort. They're the last things we'll give up. John Steinbeck
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Ours was a generation grown up to find all gods dead, all wars..."
Ours was a generation grown up to find all gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken" -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. We say that something has become a great burden to us. We either bear the burden or fail and go down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. And Sabina - what had come over her? Nothing. She had left a man because she felt like leaving him. Had he persecuted her? Had he tried to take revenge on her? No. Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot... Milan Kundera
Virginia Woolf quote: "Does Nature supplement what man advanced? Or does she complete..."
Does Nature supplement what man advanced? Or does she complete what he began? Virginia Woolf
Stephen Sondheim quote: "The man i'll never be, Who remembers him?"
The man i'll never be, Who remembers him? Stephen Sondheim
And it is through strife and the readiness for strife that a man or a nation must win greatness. So, let the world know that we are here and willing to pour out our blood, our treasure, our tears. And that America is ready and if need be desirous of battle Theodore Roosevelt
Benjamin Disraeli quote: "Every woman should marry ... and no man."
Every woman should marry ... and no man. Benjamin Disraeli
And this you can know- fear the time when Manself will not suffer and die for a concept, for this one quality is man, distinctive in the universe. John Steinbeck
