Text Quotes
Life itself was only futility, vain words, a squabble of cap and bells  (Futility Quotes) Accustomed as I am to public speaking, I know the futility of it  (Futility Quotes) Futility has become a great subject, full of opportunities  (Futility Quotes) How I hated the dark part of me that continually foretold of failure or futility  (Futility Quotes) The complicated futility of ignorance  (Futility Quotes) When people accept futility and the absurd as normal, the culture is decadent  (Futility Quotes) Prayer is futility when compared to belief  (Futility Quotes) What is hope but futility for moments stood on end  (Futility Quotes) Futility: playing a harp before a buffalo  (Futility Quotes) Nothing leads so straight to futility as literary ambitions without systematic knowledge  (Futility Quotes) The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility  (Futility Quotes) Sure, nothing succeeds like success. Fact is, dearest, we are fools. We cling to an ideal no one wants or cares about. I am the greater fool of the two of us. I go on eating out my heart and poisoning every moment of my life in the attempt to rouse people’s sensibilities. At least if I could do it with closed eyes. The irony is I see the futility of my efforts and yet I can’t let go  (Futility Quotes) Hence the sterile, uninspiring futility of a great many theoretical discussions of ethics, and the resentment which many people feel towards such discussions: moral principles remain in their minds as floating abstractions, offering them a goal they cannot grasp and demanding that they reshape their souls in its image, thus leaving them with a burden of undefinable moral guilt  (Futility Quotes) There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible  (Futility Quotes) Since all life is futility, then the decision to exist must be the most irrational of all  (Futility Quotes) Once you see what you are doing or have been doing, you also see its futility, and that unconscious pattern then comes to an end by itself. Awareness is the greatest agent for change  (Futility Quotes) I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity  (Futility Quotes) When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives  (Futility Quotes) The blight of futility that lies in wait for men’s speeches had fallen upon our conversation and made it a thing of empty sounds  (Futility Quotes) The Party System was founded on one national notion of fair play. It was the notion that folly and futility should be fairly divided between both sides  (Futility Quotes) The ultimate in futility is owning important jewelry. Insurers often insist on the wearing of paste replicas because necks with real rocks around ‘em risk wringing  (Futility Quotes) Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words  (Futility Quotes) No political party can ever make prohibition effective. A political party implies an adverse, an opposing, political party. To enforce criminal statutes implies substantial unanimity in the community. This is the result of the jury system. Hence the futility of party prohibition  (Futility Quotes) Here you can easily understand the futility of ambitions and achievements, futility of success and failures, futility of wealth and possessions  (Futility Quotes) In Paris ... I achieved a freer attitude towards anti-Semitism, which I now began to understand historically and to pardon. Above all I recognise the emptiness and futility of trying to ‘combat’ anti-Semitism.  (Futility Quotes) So, it becomes an exercise in futility if you write something that does not express the film as the director wishes. It’s still their ball game. It’s their show. I think any successful composer learns how to dance around the director’s impulses.  (Futility Quotes) God created a good world that was subjected to futility because of the sinful, treasonous choice of the first human beings.  (Futility Quotes) I think what attracts me about the Electric Monk is that it’s such an eloquent example of the futility of belief for belief’s sake. I mean there’s only any point in believing something if it’s true.  (Futility Quotes) All penguins are the same below the surface, which I think is as perfect an analogy as we’re likely to get for the futility of racism.  (Futility Quotes) Superficially my war was a comfortable exercise in futility carried out in a grand Scottish hotel amongst the bridge players and swillers of easy-come-by whisky. My chest got me out of active service and into guilt, as I wrote two, or is it three of the novels for which I am now acclaimed.  (Futility Quotes)
