Opinionated Quotes (page 34)

A boy of to-day is affected by every change of tone and gust of opinion, so that he lies even when he desires to speak the truth Rudyard Kipling
Hell wasn’t a major reservoir of evil, any more than Heaven, in Crowley’s opinion, was a fountain of goodness; they were just sides in the great cosmic chess game. Where you found the real McCoy, the real grace and the real heart-stopping evil, was right inside the human mind Terry Prachett
Marcus Tullius Cicero quote: "For he (Cato) gives his opinion as if he were in Plato's..."
For he (Cato) gives his opinion as if he were in Plato's Republic, not in Romulus' cesspool. Marcus Tullius Cicero
Who can know how much of his most inward life is made up of the thoughts he believes other men to have about him, until that fabric of opinion is threatened with ruin? George Eliot
In my opinion, the only good spider is a dead spider, and women's rights aren't worth dick if they mean I can't ask a man to do my bug squashing. Janet Evanovich
Tom Stoppard quote: "Your opinions are your symptoms."
Your opinions are your symptoms. Tom Stoppard
Deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, "There is something not right," no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or moral code. Carl Jung
As long as we continue to live as if we are what we do, what we have, and what other people think about us, we will remain filled with judgments, opinions, evaluations, and condemnations. We will remain addicted to putting people and things in their "right" place. Henri Nouwen
What are the facts? Again and again and again – what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts! Robert A. Heinlein
...[I]ron discipline does not preclude but presupposes criticism and contest of opinion within the Party. Least of all does it mean that discipline must be 'blind'. On the contrary, iron discipline does not preclude but presupposes conscious and voluntary submission, for only conscious discipline can be truly iron discipline. Joseph Stalin
Facts or opinions which are to pass through the hands of so many, to be misconceived by folly in one, and ignorance in another, can hardly have much truth left. Jane Austen
Henry David Thoreau quote: "In my opinion, the sun was made to light worthier toil than this."
In my opinion, the sun was made to light worthier toil than this. Henry David Thoreau
Those who most obstinately oppose the most widely-held opinions more often do so because of pride than lack of intelligence. They find the best places in the right set already taken, and they do not want back seats. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Christopher Dawson quote: "The man who is fond of books is usually a man of lofty..."
The man who is fond of books is usually a man of lofty thought, and elevated opinions. Christopher Dawson
As for 'too much description,' well, opinions differ. We write the books we want to read. And I want to read books that are richly textured and full of sensory detail, books that make me feel as if I am experiencing a story, not just reading it. Plot is only one aspect of telling a tale, and not the most important one. It is the journey that matters, not how fast you arrrive at the destination. That's my view, anyway. Others writers differ, of course. There are hundreds of books where... George R. R. Martin
