Personality Quotes (page 201)

At least once every human should have to run for his life, to teach him that milk does not come from supermarkets, that safety does not come from policemen, that 'news' is not something that happens to other people. He might learn how his ancestors lived and that he himself is no different--in the crunch his life depends on his agility, alertness, and personal resourcefulness. Robert A. Heinlein
Philip Roth quote: "The pleasure isn't in owning the person. The pleasure is this...."
The pleasure isn't in owning the person. The pleasure is this. Having another contender in the room with you. Philip Roth
According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy. Jerry Seinfeld
...But the truth us that no person ever understands another, from beginning to end of life, there is no truth that can be known, only the story we imagine to be true, the story they really believe to be true about themselves; and all of them lies. Orson Scott Card
You do not become a ''dissident'' just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society. Vaclav Havel
Love comes when manipulation stops when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. Joyce Brothers
Jodi Picoult quote: "Traveling is all very well and good as long as you knew there..."
Traveling is all very well and good as long as you knew there is a place or person you can call home Jodi Picoult
Passion does not blind. No. Passion is sanity, and the woman you love, she is the only person you will ever really understand. E. M. Forster
Love, love, love? all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness. Germaine Greer
We're not on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves. But in doing that you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes. Joseph Campbell
The way for a person to develop a style is (a) to know exactly what he wants to say, and (b) to be sure he is saying exactly that. C. S. Lewis
The strongest of all arguments against the interference of the public with purely personal conduct, is that when it does interfere, the odds are that it interferes wrongly, and in the wrong place. John Stuart Mill
Christopher Reeve quote: "A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary..."
A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way. Christopher Reeve
Michael Ende quote: "When a person is only half an ass like me, and not a complete..."
When a person is only half an ass like me, and not a complete one, she senses certain things. Michael Ende
As a writing man, or secretary, I have always felt charged with the safekeeping of all unexpected items of worldly and unworldly enchantment, as though I might be held personally responsible if even a small one were to be lost. E. B. White
