Themselves Quotes (page 68)

its no surprise to me that anyone hardly tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel so strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to. Henry Rollins
Come and see us if you feel like it,' she said. 'I always expect people to ask themselves. Life is too short to send out invitations. Daphne du Maurier
Jeffrey Archer quote: "Are parents always more ambitious for their children than they..."
Are parents always more ambitious for their children than they are for themselves? Jeffrey Archer
William Shakespeare quote: "Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words..."
Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter. William Shakespeare
Like most North Americans of his generation, Hal tends to know way less about why he feels certain ways about the objects and pursuits he's devoted to than he does about the objects and pursuits themselves. It's hard to say for sure whether this is even exceptionally bad, this tendency. David Foster Wallace
Stephen Covey quote: "People simply feel better about themselves when they’re good..."
People simply feel better about themselves when they’re good at something. Stephen Covey
Do you think that the things people make fools of themselves about are any less real and true than the things they behave sensibly about? They are more true: they are the only things that are true. George Bernard Shaw
So that, in effect, religion, which should most distiguish us from beasts, and ought most peculiarly to elevate us, as rational creatures, above brutes, is that wherein men often appear most irrational and mere senseless than beasts themselves John Locke
Since the age of five I had been one of those people who was an indefatigable reader, more inclined to go off by myself with a book than do any of the dozens of things that children usually do to amuse themselves. I never aged out of it. A. Whitney Brown
Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly. Isaac Asimov
These infinitesimal distinctions between man and man are too paltry for an Omnipotent Being. How these madmengive themselves away! The real God taketh heed lest a sparrow fall. But the God created from human vanity seesno difference between an eagle and a sparrow. Bram Stoker
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous..."
All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity. Friedrich Nietzsche
Yes there were two great groups of dogs wrangling for the bitching-goddess: the group of the flatterers, those who offered her amusement, stories, films, plays: and the other, much less showy, much more savage breed, those who gave her meat, the real substance of money. The well-groomed showy dogs of amusement wrangled and snarled among themselves for the favors of the bitch-goddess. But it was nothing to the silent fight-to-the-death that went on among the indispensables, the bone-bringers. David Herbert Lawrence
If you eliminate suffering from this world you eliminate life. There's no evolution. Those species that don't suffer don't survive. Sometimes the insane and the contrarians and the ones who are the closest to suicide are the most valuable people society has. They may be the precursors of social change. They've taken the burdens of the culture onto themselves and in their struggle to solve their own problems they're solving problems for the culture as well Robert M. Pirsig
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "They should be ashamed of themselves, all these sober people!"
They should be ashamed of themselves, all these sober people! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
