Who Quotes (page 165)

It isn't only living people who die, it is great stretches of living, which can die even when the people who lived there still exist. Rebecca West
Socrates quote: "He is not only idle who does nothing, but he is idle who might..."
He is not only idle who does nothing, but he is idle who might be better employed. Socrates
The shrill voices of those who give orders. Are full of fear like the squeakings of. Piglets awaiting the butcher's knife, as their fat arses. Sweat with anxiety in their office chairs....Fear rules not only those who are ruled, but. The rulers too. Bertolt Brecht
The world is filled with people who are no longer needed. And who try to make slaves of all of us. And they have their music and we have ours. Theirs, the wasted songs of a superstitious nightmare. And without their music and ideological miscarriages to compare our songs of freedom to, we'd not have any opposite to compare music with --- and like the drifting wind, hitting against no obstacle, we'd never know its speed, its power.... Woody Guthrie
But what revealed to me all of a sudden the Princess's love was a trifling incident upon which I shall not dwell here, for it forms part of quite another story, in which M. de Charlus allowed a Queen to die rather than miss an appointment with the hairdresser who was to singe his hair for the benefit of an omnibus conductor who filled him with alarm. Marcel Proust
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or..."
Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not. Leo Tolstoy
The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with most unnecessary attention but assume an authority which could safely be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of man who have folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it. Adam Smith
Charles Bukowski quote: "Belane, are you nuts?"Who knows? Insanity is comparative. Who..."
Belane, are you nuts?"Who knows? Insanity is comparative. Who sets the norm? Charles Bukowski
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "And those who were seen dancing, were thought to be crazy, by..."
And those who were seen dancing, were thought to be crazy, by those who could not hear the music. Friedrich Nietzsche
I realize that some people will not believe that a child of little more than ten years is capable of having such feelings. My story is not intended for them. I am telling it to those who have a better knowledge of man. The adult who has learned to translate a part of his feelings into thoughts notices the absence of these thoughts in a child, and therefore comes to believe that the child lacks these experiences, too. Yet rarely in my life have I felt and suffered as deeply as at that time. Herman Hesse
Monsieur Bienvenu was simply a man who accepted these mysterious questions...and who had in his soul a deep respect for the mystery which enveloped them. Victor Hugo
Oprah Winfrey quote: "The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the..."
The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. Oprah Winfrey
Ayn Rand quote: "It's not a question of who will allow me to do it, it's a..."
It's not a question of who will allow me to do it, it's a question of who will stop me. Ayn Rand
Stephen Sondheim quote: "There's a hole in the world like a big black pit who are..."
There's a hole in the world like a big black pit who are filled with people who are filled with shit. Stephen Sondheim
Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question of what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels that there is nothing 'we' can do -- but who is that 'we'? -- and nothing 'they' can do either -- and who are 'they' -- then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic. Susan Sontag
