Mays Quotes (page 93)

A poem is a fictional, verbally inventive moral statement in which it is the author, rather than the printer or word processor, who decides where the lines should end. This dreary-sounding definition, unpoetic to a fault, may well turn out to be the best we can do. Terry Eagleton
I have already thought it over,' said Rubashov. 'I reject your proposition. Logically, you may be right. But I have had enough of this kind of logic. I am tired and I don't want to play this game anymore. Be kind enough to have me taken back to my cell. Arthur Koestler
In this statement, my Scipio, I build on your own admirable definition, that there can be no community, properly so called, unless it be regulated by a combination of rights. And by this definition it appears that a multitude of men may be just as tyrannical as a single despot and indeed this is the most odious of all tyrannies, since no monster can be more barbarous than the mob, which assumes the name and mask of the people. Marcus Tullius Cicero
We may all be a peculiar lot...often broke, often dissatisfied because we're not doing more and better work...but we know how to have a ball that makes the rest of the world seem square. Vincent Price

Robert Fulghum quote: "Whenever life becomes Tinkertoys, the queen may be sacrificed."
Whenever life becomes Tinkertoys, the queen may be sacrificed. Robert Fulghum
The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oliver Goldsmith quote: "The nakedness of the indignant world may be cloathed from the..."
The nakedness of the indignant world may be cloathed from the trimmings of the vain. Oliver Goldsmith
In every company which I have done strategic planning, the number-one value people choose is always integrity. The second values may be quality of products and services, caring about people, excellent customer service, profitability , innovation, entrepreneurship, and others. But integrity always comes first. Brian Tracy
Aldous Huxley quote: "The creation by word-power of something out of nothing--what..."
The creation by word-power of something out of nothing--what is that but magic? And, may I add, what is that but literature? Aldous Huxley
Love is the bridge that leads from the I sense to the We, and there is a paradox about personal love. Love of another individual opens a new relation between the personality and the world. The lover responds in a new way to nature and may even write poetry. Love is affirmation; it motivates the yes responses and the sense of wider communication. Love casts out fear, and in the security of this togetherness we find contentment, courage. We no longer fear the age-old haunting questions: "Who am... Carson McCullers
Lucy was suffering from the most grievous wrong which this world has yet discovered: diplomatic advantage had been taken of her sincerity, of her craving for sympathy and love. Such a wrong is not easily forgotten. Never again did she expose herself without due consideration and precaution against rebuff. And such a wrong may react disastrously upon the soul. E. M. Forster
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Whatever our fate is or may be, we have made it and do not..."
Whatever our fate is or may be, we have made it and do not complain of it."- Vronksy {Anna Karenina} Leo Tolstoy
William Shakespeare quote: "A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat..."
A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm William Shakespeare
...while the IMF certainly failed the people of Asia, it did not fail Wall Street - far from it. The hot money may have been spooked by the IMF's drastic measures, but the large investment houses and multinational firms were emboldened...These fun-seeking firms understood that as a result of the IMF's "adjustments," pretty much everything in Asia was now up for sale - and the more the market panicked, the more desperate Asian companies would be to sell, pushing their prices through the floor. Naomi Klein
