Than Quotes (page 381)

Like Russia's gangsterism and Bush's cronyism, contemporary Iraq is a creation of the fifty-year crusade to privatize the world. Rather than being disowned by its creators, it deserves to be seen as the purest incarnation yet of the ideology that gave it birth. Naomi Klein
There are outrages and there are outrages, and some are more outrageous than others. Mankind is resilient: the atrocities that horrified us a week ago become acceptable tomorrow. The Death of Socrates had no effect upon the history of Athens. If anything, the reputation of the city has been improved by it. The death of no person is as important to the future as the literature about it. You will learn nothing from history that can be applied, so don't kid yourself into thinking you... Joseph Heller
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong. Theodore Roosevelt
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. Neil Gaiman
Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to thin? John Stuart Mill
There is more wisdom in your body than in your best wisdom. And who then knows why your body needs precisely your best wisdom? Friedrich Nietzsche
But then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way -- never to be an old woman -- but then -- always to have lessons to learn! Lewis Carroll
Ian Fleming quote: "It reads better than it lives"
It reads better than it lives Ian Fleming
Once you have mathematical certainty there is nothing left to do or to understand. There will be nothing left but to bottle up your five senses and plunge into contemplation. While if you stick to consciousness, even though the same result is attained, you can at least flog yourself at times, and that will, at any rate, liven you up. Reactionary as it is, corporal punishment is better than nothing. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Romain Gary quote: "Literature is greater than any of us, dammit."
Literature is greater than any of us, dammit. Romain Gary
In spite of all the dishonour, the broken standards, the broken lives, The broken faith in one place or another, There was something left that was more than the tales. Of old men on winter evenings. T. S. Eliot
Suppose... suppose we have only dreamed and made up these things like sun, sky, stars, and moon, and Aslan himself. In that case, it seems to me that the made-up things are a good deal better than the real ones. And if this black pits of a kingdom is the best you can make, then it's a poor world. And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow. C. S. Lewis
Rudyard Kipling quote: "The glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye."
The glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye. Rudyard Kipling
Bertrand Russell quote: "Stupidity and unconscious bias often work more damage than..."
Stupidity and unconscious bias often work more damage than venality. Bertrand Russell
People love the good not much less than the beautiful, and the happy as well, or even just the living, for the world of it all, and heart's home. Annie Dillard
