Perhaps Quotes (page 19)

Perhaps I identify too well with my father's illicit awe. A trace of this seems caught in the photo, just as a trace of Roy has been caught on the light-sensitive paper...It's a curiously ineffectual attempt at censorship. Why cross out the year and not the month? Why, for that matter, leave the photo in the envelope at all? In an act of prestidigitation typical of the way my father juggled his public appearance and private reality, the evidence is simultaneously hidden and revealed. Alison Bechdel
Perhaps things are most beautiful when they are not quite real; when you look upon a scene as an outsider, and come to possess it in its entirety and forever; when you live in the present with the lucidity and feeling of memory; when, for want of connection, the world deepens and becomes art. Mark Helprin
Perhaps everyone loved someone; I didn't now, I couldn't give much thought to love; in order to travel far you had to be detached, and I had the long road back to the campus before me. Ralph Ellison
Iris Murdoch quote: "Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some..."
Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wavelength of ours all they hear is a continuous scream. Iris Murdoch
Iris Murdoch quote: "Perhaps misguided moral passion is better than confused..."
Perhaps misguided moral passion is better than confused indifference. Iris Murdoch
Perhaps... I mean there are people who defend that it as an art. I don't. I like it but it's not an art form as far as I'm concerned, and yet it's a similar thing, once you can't land those jumps, you're disqualified - that precludes it from ever becoming a serious art form. Mark Morris
Perhaps the surest test of an individual's integrity is his refusal to do or say anything that would damage his self-respect. Thomas S. Monson
Thomas Merton quote: "Perhaps I am stronger than I think."
Perhaps I am stronger than I think. Thomas Merton
Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life? Aldous Huxley
Perhaps women have always been in closer contact with reality than men: it would seem to be the just recompense for being deprived of idealism. Germaine Greer
Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe. Germaine Greer
Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter. Nadine Gordimer
Perhaps my favourite story is 'Le Passe-Muraille' by Marcel Ayme. It's about a guy who wakes up with a weird faculty that means he can walk through walls. He's a very shy clerk, and he uses it to get revenge, or vent his frustration. Michel Gondry
Perhaps we too seldom reflect how much the life of Nature is one with the life of man, how unimportant or indeed merely seeming, the difference between them. Richard Le Gallienne
Gene Fowler quote: "Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a..."
Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth. Gene Fowler
