Mans Quotes (page 9)

Man is said to be a reasoning animal. I do not know why he has not been defined as an affective or feeling animal. Perhaps that which differentiates him from other animals is feeling rather than reason. More often I have seen a cat reason than laugh or weep. Perhaps it weeps or laughs inwardly? but then perhaps, also inwardly, the crab resolves equations of the second degree. Miguel de Unamuno
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his..."

Man's desire for the approval of his fellows is so strong, his dread of their censure so violent, that he himself has brought his enemy within his gates; and it keeps watch over him, vigilant always in the interests of its master to crush any half-formed desire to break away from the herd. W. Somerset Maugham

Man's life seems to me like a long, weary night that would be intolerable if there were not occasionally flashes of light, the sudden brightness of which is so comforting and wonderful, that the moments of their appearance cancel out and justify the years of darkness. Herman Hesse
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!"
Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel! Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man has gone out to explore other worlds and other civilizations without having explored his own labyrinth of dark passages and secret chambers, and without finding what lies behind doorways that he himself has sealed. Stanislaw Lem
Simone de Beauvoir quote: "Man must not attempt to dispel the ambiguity of his being but,..."

Man was made for joy and woe. Then when this we rightly know. Through the world we safely go. Joy and woe are woven fine. A clothing for the soul to bind. William Blake
Man is originally characterized by his "search for meaning" rather than his "search for himself." The more he forgets himself—giving himself to a cause or another person—the more human he is. And the more he is immersed and absorbed in something or someone other than himself the more he really becomes himself. Viktor E. Frankl
