Thoughts And Thinking Quotes (page 5)

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business. Henry David Thoreau
I don't know, I don't want to talk as much. (...) It's nicer to think dear, pretty thoughts and keep them in one's heart, like treasures. I don't like to have them laughed at or wondered over. L. M. Montgomery
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi quote: "Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and..."
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking what nobody has thought. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

I always voted at my party's call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all. William Gilbert
I'd always thought the Rats were good fun, but one of the very nice things about being of Saga age is that I can actually look back and think, When I was younger I was in a great band. It was always a collective thing. Bob Geldof
Four years ago maybe we thought we were inferior to Brazil, subconsciously we didn't see ourselves beating them. Now we believe in ourselves, we can be on the pitch with any team in the world and think we can win. Rio Ferdinand

The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older. William Lyon Phelps
I think most people don't like others who, without a voice of their own, emulate the other. I certainly don't want anybody just to pick up my thoughts and hand them back to me. Marguerite Young
Demetri Martin quote: "Usually, I walk around and think about things. When I come..."
Usually, I walk around and think about things. When I come across a thought that makes me laugh, I write it down. Demetri Martin
William Cobbett quote: "Sit down to write what you have thought, and not to think..."
Sit down to write what you have thought, and not to think about what you shall write. William Cobbett
I don't know if 1300 players could really participate in the selection of a commissioner, and I've never given it a great deal of thought. I think it's a logical point they could make, but it's only an academic one. Pete Rozelle
I sort of leave the character at the end of the day. I don't carry anything around with me - no excess baggage or unnecessary thoughts. I think it's too exhausting to do that. To put things into perspective - your work is your work, and your leisure time is something else. Sean Bean
And what do I think about? What thoughts do I have! - What thoughts! a whole host, multitude, and world of thoughts, I keep devising new ones and reworking old ones, some of the old ones are concluded and are only thought of as conclusions, whole worlds of new ones come crashing into my fingers, and it never ends. Jack Kerouac
And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before. Ray Bradbury
