Whilst Quotes (page 2)

What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering. For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hope. I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you. Jane Austen
You will smile here at the consistency of those democratists who, when they are not on their guard, treat the humbler part of the community with the greatest contempt, whilst, at the same time they pretend to make them the depositories of all power. Edmund Burke
Baroness Orczy quote: "She, too, had worn a mask in assuming a contempt for him,..."
She, too, had worn a mask in assuming a contempt for him, whilst, as a matter of fact, she completely misunderstood him Baroness Orczy
Beauty without wit offers nothing but the enjoyment of its material charms, whilst witty ugliness captivates by the charms of the mind, and at last fulfils all the desires of the man it has captivated. Giacomo Casanova
The most vigorous expression of a resolution does not always coincide with the greatest vigour of the resolution itself. It is often flung out as a sort of prop to support a decaying conviction which, whilst strong, required no enunciation to prove it so. Thomas Hardy
The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world; it will accept those whom breeding and intellect and culture have alike rejected. The commonplace person begins to play, and shoots into the empyrean without effort, whilst we look up, marvelling how he has escaped us, and thinking how we could worship him and love him, would he but translate his visions into human words, and his experiences into human actions. Perhaps he cannot; certainly he does not, or does so very seldom. E. M. Forster
Yes, because to be treated as a boy was to be taken on the old footing. I had become a new person; and those who knew the old person laughed at me. The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor: he took my measure anew every time he saw me, whilst the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me. George Bernard Shaw
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whilst, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads. And recks not his own read. William Shakespeare
Simone de Beauvoir quote: "The sin of smiling whilst Louise was weeping, the sin of..."
The sin of smiling whilst Louise was weeping, the sin of shedding my own tears and not hers. The sin of being another being. Simone de Beauvoir
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "A man, whilst he is dreaming, believes in his dream; he is..."
A man, whilst he is dreaming, believes in his dream; he is undeceived only when he is awakened from his slumber. Mahatma Gandhi
character; but, being without the power to combine them, the comprehension became engaged with trivialities whilst waiting for the will to direct it, and the force wasted itself in useless grooves through unheeding the comprehension. Thomas Hardy
The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish. Douglas Adams
Michel de Montaigne quote: "My business is only to keep myself in motion, whilst motion..."
My business is only to keep myself in motion, whilst motion pleases me; I only walk for the walk's sake. Michel de Montaigne
We learn that it is not the rays which bodies absorb, but those which they reject, that give them the colours they are known by; and in the same way people are specialized by their dislikes and antagonisms, whilst their goodwill is looked upon as no attribute at all. Thomas Hardy
One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole Mahatma Gandhi
