Much Quotes (page 263)

I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is it too much to expect from the schools that they train their students not only to interpret but to criticize; that is, to discriminate what is sound from error and falsehood, to suspend judgement if they are not convinced, or to judge with reason if they agree or disagree? Mortimer Adler
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "And after reading Thoreau I felt how much I have lost by..."
And after reading Thoreau I felt how much I have lost by leaving nature out of my life. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it, and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic. Herman Melville
There's nothing of any importance in life - except how well you do your work. Nothing. Only that. Whatever else you are, will come from that. It's the only measure of human value. All the codes of ethics they'll try to ram down your throat are just so much paper money put out by swindlers to fleece people of their virtues. The code of competence is the only system of morality that's on a gold standard. Ayn Rand
I much fear that British juries have not yet attained that pitch of intelligence whenthey will give the preference to my theories over Lestrade's facts. Arthur Conan Doyle
Margaret Drabble quote: "Too much of the world was inhospitable, intractable... Why..."
Too much of the world was inhospitable, intractable... Why prove that it had ever once been green? Margaret Drabble
Up till then he had been looking at the Lion's great front feet and the huge claws on them; now, in his despair, he looked up at its face. What he saw surprised him as much as anything in his whole life. For the tawny face was bent down near his own and (wonder of wonders) great shining tears stood in the Lion's eyes. They were such big, bright tears compared with Digory's own that for a moment he felt as if the Lion must really be sorrier about his Mother than he was himself. "My son, my... C. S. Lewis
Molly Ivins quote: "Politics is not a picture on a wall or a television sitcom..."
Politics is not a picture on a wall or a television sitcom that you can decide you don't much care for. Molly Ivins
Chuck Klosterman quote: "It feels so exhausting to be so bad at something I loved so much."
It feels so exhausting to be so bad at something I loved so much. Chuck Klosterman
The body shuts down when it has too much to bear; goes its own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time, leaving you numb and half alive. Jeanette Winterson
Stephen King quote: "I do have one slightly crooked wheel upstairs, but everything..."
I do have one slightly crooked wheel upstairs, but everything else is ticking along just four-o, thank you very much. Stephen King
They seemed nearer, not only mentally, but physically when they read ... Their chance was to make everything fine and finished and rich and imaginative; they must bend tiny golden tentacles from his imagination to hers, that would take the place of the great, deep love that was never so near, yet never so much of a dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald
The scene I had just witnessed (a couple making love in the ocean) brought back a lot of memories? not of things I had done but of things I had failed to do, wasted hours and frustrated moments and opportunities forever lost because time had eaten so much of my life and I would never get it back. I envied Yeoman and felt sorry for myself at the same time, because I had seen him in a moment that made all my happiness seem dull. Hunter S. Thompson
A man should begin with his own times. He should become acquainted first of all with the world in which he is living and participating. He should not be afraid of reading too much or too little. He should take his reading as he does his food or his exercise. The good reader will gravitate to the good books. He will discover from his contemporaries what is inspiring or fecundating, or merely enjoyable, in past literature. He should have the pleasure of making these discoveries on his own, in... Henry Miller
