Text Quotes
Where princes are concerned, a man who is able to do good is as dangerous and almost as criminal as a man who intends to do evil  (Able Quotes) The fact is that life has become a sweepstake. Millions of people who have lost the sense of being able to make anything of the collective effort of shaping their economic society, now expect fortune to descend like pie from the sky  (Able Quotes) We will be able to achieve a just and prosperous society only when our schools ensure that everyone commands enough shared background knowledge to be able to communicate effectively with everyone else  (Able Quotes) Sociology and anthropology are not disciplines which take easily to situations where people are able to live out their fantasies, not just in the symbolic action of ritual, but in the concrete theater of society at large  (Able Quotes) The small share of happiness attainable by man exists only insofar as he is able to cease to think of himself  (Able Quotes) There comes a moment in a young artist’s life when he knows he has to bring something to the stage from within himself. He has to put in something in order to be able to take something  (Able Quotes) When some people retire, it’s going to be mighty hard to be able to tell the difference  (Able Quotes) The writer must be able to revel and roll in the abundance of words; he must know not only the direct but also the secret power of a word. There are overtones and undertones to a word, and lateral echoes, too  (Able Quotes) At a very early age I began to thump on the piano alone, and it was not long before I was able to pick out a few tunes? I also learned the names of the notes in both clefs, but I preferred not be hampered by notes  (Able Quotes) Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case  (Able Quotes) The essence of a free life is being able to choose the style of living you prefer free from exclusion and without the compulsion of conformity or law  (Able Quotes) The body is like an elaborate metaphor. One may be able to taste and not swallow, like the anorexic, or to swallow and not integrate, like the bulimic or obese  (Able Quotes) I’ve not got a first in philosophy without being able to muddy things pretty satisfactory  (Able Quotes) To suppose such a thing possible as a society, in which men, who are able and willing to work, cannot support their families, and ought, with a great part of the women, to be compelled to lead a life of celibacy, for fear of having children to be starved; to suppose such a thing possible is monstrous  (Able Quotes) Tennis can be a grind and there’s always the danger of going stale if you think about it too much. You can get embittered if you train too hard and have nothing else on your mind. You have to be able to relax between matches and between tournaments  (Able Quotes) One of the great reasons for the popularity of strikes is that they give the suppressed self a sense of power. For once the human tool knows itself a man, able to stand up and speak a word or strike a blow  (Able Quotes) Marriage is a matter of give and take, but so far I haven’t been able to find anybody who’ll take what I have to give  (Able Quotes) Our ideas are the offspring of our senses; we are not more able to create the form of a being we have not seen, without retrospect to one we know, than we are able to create a new sense. He whose fancy has conceived an idea of the most beautiful form must have composed it from actual existence  (Able Quotes) For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear. If you hit a tuning fork twice as hard it will ring twice as loud but still at the same frequency. That’s a linear response. If you hit a person twice as hard they’re unlikely just to shout twice as loud. That property lets you learn more about the person than the tuning fork  (Able Quotes) You cannot collaborate with another person toward some common end unless you know him. How can you know him, and he you, unless you have engaged in enough mutual disclosure of self to be able anticipate how he will react and what part he will play?  (Able Quotes) The sooner you make your first five thousand mistakes the sooner you will be able to correct them  (Able Quotes) Indeed many things which we shall not be able to discover either by the experiment of works or by the investigations of reason we shall deserve to be taught by importunate prayer, by the revelation of divine inspiration  (Able Quotes) A good hitting instructor is able to mold his teaching to the individual. If a guy stands on his head, you perfect that  (Able Quotes) Perhaps the best function of parenthood is to teach the young creature to love with safety, so that it may be able to venture unafraid when later emotion comes; the thwarting of the instinct to love is the root of all sorrow and not sex only but divinity itself is insulted when it is repressed. To disapprove, to condemn the human soul shrivels under barren righteousness  (Able Quotes) Show business is really 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent being able to handle it when it gets offered to you  (Able Quotes) The knowledge which we have acquired ought not to resemble a great shop without order, and without an inventory; we ought to know what we possess, and be able to make it serve us in need  (Able Quotes) Not to be able to bear poverty is a shameful thing, but not to know how to chase it away by work is a more shameful thing yet  (Able Quotes) In this thing one man is superior to another, that he is better able to bear adversity and prosperity  (Able Quotes) Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: You won’t be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you  (Able Quotes) With a good script a good director can produce a masterpiece; with the same script a mediocre director can make a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. That is what makes a real movie. The script must be something that has the power to do this  (Able Quotes)
