Mans Quotes (page 401)

Whatever exists, he said. Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. He looked about at the dark forest in which they were bivouacked. He nodded toward the specimens he'd collected. These anonymous creatures, he said, may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand... Cormac McCarthy
Maya Angelou quote: "I walk into a room. Just as cool as you please, And to a man,..."
I walk into a room. Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or. Fall down on their knees. Maya Angelou
You must try to forget all you have learned,” said the old man. “You must begin to dream. From this time on you must shut your ears to the roaring of the voices. Sherwood Anderson
...stories are not always innocent;...they can be used to put you in the wrong crowd, in the party of the man who has come to dispossess you. Chinua Achebe
This man is the bee's knees, Arthur, he is the wasp's nipples. He is, I would go so far as to say, the entire set of erogenous zones of every major flying insect of the Western world. Douglas Adams
We are only seeking Man. We have no need for other worlds. We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is. We are searching for an ideal image of our own world: we go in quest of a planet, of a civilization superior of our own but developed on the basis of a prototype of our primeval past." -Snow from Solaris by Stanislaw Lem Stanislaw Lem
Charlotte Perkins Gilman quote: "A man's honor always seems to want to kill a woman to satisfy it."
A man's honor always seems to want to kill a woman to satisfy it. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man’s mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others. Cormac McCarthy
Few things are more agreeable than the spectacle of a man who loses his temper; we should be grateful to such people for providing us with moments of often unsullied delight. Harold Nicolson
Homer quote: "I detest that man, who hides one thing in the depths of his..."
I detest that man, who hides one thing in the depths of his heart, and speaks forth another Homer
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!""
Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!" J. R. R. Tolkien
Paulo Coelho quote: "Because true love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny"
Because true love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny Paulo Coelho
Dreams, memories, the sacred--they are all alike in that they are beyond our grasp. Once we are even marginally separated from what we can touch, the object is sanctified; it acquires the beauty of the unattainable, the quality of the miraculous. Everything, really, has this quality of sacredness, but we can desecrate it at a touch. How strange man is! His touch defiles and yet he contains the source of miracles. Yukio Mishima
Samuel Johnson quote: "I look upon it that a man who does not mind his stomach would..."
I look upon it that a man who does not mind his stomach would hardly mind anything else. Samuel Johnson
It sometimes happened that you might be familiar with a man for several years thinking he was a wild animal, and you would regard him with contempt. And then suddenly a moment would arrive when some uncontrollable impulse would lay his soul bare, and you would behold in it such riches, such sensitivity and warmth, such a vivid awareness of its own suffering and the suffering of others, that the scales would fall from your eyes and at first you would hardly be able to believe what you had seen... Fyodor Dostoevsky
