Mediocre Quotes (page 6)

It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters. Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm more of a warrior than you'll ever be. I believe in the class war. I believe in the battle of the sexes. I believe in my tribe. I believe in the righteous, intelligent clued-up section of the working classes against the brain-dead moronic masses as well as the mediocre, soulless bourgeoisie. Irvine Welsh
Suzanne Collins quote: "Scores only matter if they’re very good, no one pays much..."
Scores only matter if they’re very good, no one pays much attention to the bad or mediocre ones. Suzanne Collins
Albert Einstein quote: "Great spirits have always faced violent opposition from..."
Great spirits have always faced violent opposition from mediocre minds. Albert Einstein
I feel so bad in my childish soul that I smash my moldering lyre of thanksgiving in the face of the slumbering god of contentment and would rather feel the very devil burn in me than this warmth of a well-heated room. A wild longing for strong emotions and sensations seethes in me, a rage against this toneless, flat, normal and sterile life. I have a mad impluse to smash something, a warehouse, perhaps, or a cathedral, or myself (...)For what I have always hated and detested and cursed above... Herman Hesse
Mates are a waste of fucking time. They are always ready to drag you down tae their level of social, sexual and intellectual mediocrity. Irvine Welsh
For every bourgeois, in the heat of youth, if only for a day, for a minute, has believed himself capable of immense passions, of heroic enterprises. The most mediocre libertine has dreamed of oriental princesses; every rotary carries about inside him the debris of a poet. Gustave Flaubert
What is normal? Normal is only ordinary; mediocre. Life belongs to the rare, exceptional individual who dares to be different. Virginia C. Andrews
Poetry destroyed? Genius banished? No! Mediocrity, no: do not let envy prompt you to the thought. No; they not only live, but reign, and redeem: and without their divine influence spread everywhere, you would be in hell--the hell of your own meanness. Charlotte Bronte
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre. Albert Camus
When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of... Neil Gaiman
Mark Twain quote: "The exquisitely bad is as satisfying to the soul as the..."
The exquisitely bad is as satisfying to the soul as the exquisitely good. Only the mediocre is unendurable. Mark Twain
Truth is a risky proposition. It's the nature of mediocre human beings to believe that lies are necessary, that they serve a purpose, that truth is subversive, that candor is dangerous, that the very scaffold of communal life is supported by lies. Anne Rice
Age certainly hadn't conferred any smarts on me. Character maybe, but mediocrity is a constant, as one Russian writer put it. Russian writers have a way with aphorisms. They probably spend all winter thinking them up. Haruki Murakami
Harold Bloom quote: "Everyone wants a prodigy to fail; it makes our mediocrity more..."
Everyone wants a prodigy to fail; it makes our mediocrity more bearable. Harold Bloom
