Single Individual Quotes (page 2)

In the modern industrialized Western world, where I come from, the person whom you choose to marry is perhaps the single most vivid representation of your own personality. Your spouse becomes the most gleaming possible mirror through which your emotional individualism is reflected back to the world. There is no choice more intensely personal after all, than whom you choose to marry; that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are. Elizabeth Gilbert
It looks as if there were a single ultimate goal for mankind, a far goal toward which all persons strive. This is called variously by different authors self-actualization, self-realization, integration, psychological health, individuation, autonomy, creativity, productivity, but they all agree that this amounts to realizing the potentialities of the person, that is to say, becoming fully human, everything that person can be. Abraham Maslow
And yet even among the friends of liberty, many people are deceived into believing that government can make them safe from all harm, provide fairly distributed economic security, and improve individual moral behavior. If the government is granted a monopoly on the use of force to achieve these goals, history shows that power is always abused. Every single time. Ron Paul
Maybe what has to happen is that the individual must allow himself to be swept along, must find himself in the stream of no-choice, the single direction. This is what makes things inevitable.

Societies need rules that make no sense for individuals. For example, it makes no difference whether a single car drives on the left or on the right. But it makes all the difference when there are many cars! Marvin Minsky
Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing on the final success of an individual, corporation, or product. Ed McMahon
The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character. Emma Goldman
Nature is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each individual of the species, can never in its perfection inhabit a single object. Henry Fuseli
Joseph Crowley quote: "We are not a monolithic group of individuals, not every single..."
We are not a monolithic group of individuals, not every single person believes the exact same thing. Joseph Crowley
Kit Williams quote: "I made every single piece myself, each individual component,..."
I made every single piece myself, each individual component, so it was quite time consuming. Kit Williams
Except that awards are competitive, which is a negative thing, they are wonderful for singling out deserving individuals and bringing their work to the attention of many potential readers who might otherwise have been totally unaware of them. Joyce Carol Oates
And yet the Nobel Prizes, in singling out individuals, have done a great deal of good in pointing up to the world as a whole and setting forth clearly goals for achievement. Willard Libby
If we have isolated individuals able to inflict enormous harm, imagine what a single lunatic can do with a nuclear weapon. I think the whole base of civil society is at risk. Joshua Lederberg
No individual is alone responsible for a single stepping stone along the path of progress, and where the path is smooth progress is most rapid. Ernest Lawrence
If the right to privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion. William J. Brennan
