Representative Quotes (page 8)

If you're ever feeling a lack of middle-aged white men, just pop into the Capitol. Not so much the House of Representatives, which has a bit more color and texture, but the Senate -- jeez. Yes, let's have more testosterone running the country. Maximum Ride, School's Out--Forever James Patterson
To be engrossed by something outside ourselves is a powerful antidote for the rational mind, the mind that so frequently has its head up its own ass--seeing things in such a narrow and darkly narcissistic way that it represents a colo-rectal theology, offering hope to no one. Anne Lamott
George Eliot quote: "What right have such men to represent Christianity—as if it..."
What right have such men to represent Christianity—as if it were an institution for getting up idiots genteelly? George Eliot
In his mind World War III represents the final self-destruction and imbalance of an asymmetric world, the last suicidal spasm of the dextro-rotatory helix, DNA. The human organism is an atrocity exhibition at which he is an unwilling spectator . . . J. G. Ballard
They hurt each other without wanting to, just because each represented to the others the cruel and demanding necessity of their lives. Albert Camus
There is something almost sacred about a great library because it represents the preservation of the wisdom, the learning, and the pondering of men and women of all the ages, accumulated under one roof. Gordon B. Hinckley
DiMaggio's grace came to represent more than athletic skill in those years. To the men who wrote about the game, it was a talisman, a touchstone, a symbol of the limitless potential of the human individual. That an Italian immigrant, a fisherman's son, could catch fly balls the way Keats wrote poetry or Beethoven wrote sonatas was more than just a popular marvel. It was proof positive that democracy was real. On the baseball diamond, if nowhere else, America was truly a classless society.... David Halberstam
Aristotle quote: "Comedy aims at representing men as worse, Tragedy as better..."
Comedy aims at representing men as worse, Tragedy as better than in actual life. Aristotle
Dean Koontz quote: "We yearn for tomorrow and the progress it represents. But..."
We yearn for tomorrow and the progress it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was the progress in it? Dean Koontz
What is a throne? — a bit of wood gilded and covered in velvet. I am the state— I alone am here the representative of the people. Even if I had done wrong you should not have reproached me in public—people wash their dirty linen at home. France has more need of me than I of France. Napoleon Bonaparte
To see a Woman you love in Distress; to be unable to relieve her, and at the same Time to reflect that you have brought her into this Situation, is, perhaps, a Curse of which no Imagination can represent the Horrors to those who have not felt it. Henry Fielding
Oscar Wilde quote: "You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins..."
You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit. Oscar Wilde
It was Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse who said that simply because a person is a member of a specific denomination, there is no reason to suppose that the entire denomination is represented by that person’s theology, Walter Martin
But the modern critic not only permits a false practice: he absolutely prescribes false aims." A true allegory of the state of one's mind in a representative history," the poet is told, "is perhaps the highest thing that one can attempt in the way of poetry. Matthew Arnold
Where mathematics was a magnificent imaginary building, the world of story as represented by Dickens was like a deep, magical forest for Tengo. When mathematics stretched infinitely upward toward the heavens, the forest spread out beneath his gaze in silence, its dark, sturdy roots stretching deep into the earth. In the forest there were no maps, no numbered doorways.... Tengo began deliberately to put some distance between himself and the world of mathematics, and instead the forest of story... Haruki Murakami
