All Great Quotes

All great artists draw from the same resource: the human heart, which tells us that we are all more alike than we are unalike Picture Quote #1

All great writers have, of course, an atmosphere in which they seem most at their ease and at their best; a mood of the general mind which they interpret and indeed almost discover, so that we come to read them rather for that than for any story or character or scene of seperate excellence Picture Quote #1

Me, I say those are all great things to live for, if they’re what happens to float your boat, but at the end of the day, there’s got to be somebody you’re doing it for. Just one person you’re thinking of everytime you make a decision, everytime you tell the truth, or tell a lie, or anything. I’ve got mine. Do you? Picture Quote #1

The truth is not always useful, not always good. It’s like putting your faith in water. Yes, we need the rain, but too much can sweep you away in a flood and drown you. Like all great natural, elemental forces, the truth needs to be channeled, managed, controlled and intelligently, morally allocated Picture Quote #1

All great art is by its very essence in conflict with the society with which it exists. It expresses the truth about the existence regardless of whether this truth serves or hinders the survival purpose of a given society. All great art is revolutionary because it touches upon the reality of man and questions the reality of the various transitory forms of human society Picture Quote #1

The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us. If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished. Throughout the history of mankind, if any motive power has been more potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is that of faith in themselves Picture Quote #1

Be not afraid, for all great power throughout the history of humanity has been with the people. From out of their ranks have come all the greatest geniuses of the world, and history can only repeat itself. Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvellous work Picture Quote #1

All great human deeds both consume and transform their doers. Consider an athlete, a scientist, an artist, or an entrepreneur. In service of their goals, they lay down time, energy and many other choices and pleasures; in return, they become most truly themselves. A false destiny may be spotted by the fact that it consumes without transforming, without giving back the enlarged self Picture Quote #1

Every man aims at avoiding what causes him pain; the activities of government ultimately consist in the infliction of pain. All great achievements of mankind were the product of a spontaneous effort on the part of individuals; government substitutes coercion for voluntary action Picture Quote #1

All great people glorify their history and look back upon their early attainments with a spiritualized vision Picture Quote #1

All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope Picture Quote #1

All great sages are as despotic as generals, and as ungracious and indelicate as generals, because they are confident of their impunity Picture Quote #1

Almost all great painters in old age arrive at the same kind of broad, simplified style, as if they wanted to summarise the whole of their experience in a few strokes and blobs of colour Picture Quote #1

Insofar as we, critics of the black tradition, master our craft, we serve both to preserve our own traditions and to shape their direction. All great writers demand great critics Picture Quote #1

Secrecy is the soul of all great designs. Perhaps more has been effected by concealing our own intentions than by discovering those of our enemy Picture Quote #1

In all great arts, as in trees, it is the height that charms us; we care nothing for the roots or trunks, yet it could not be without the aid of these Picture Quote #1

It is a secret, well known to all great men, that by conferring an obligation they do not always procure a friend, but are certain of creating many enemies Picture Quote #1

With all great deceivers there is a noteworthy occurrence to which they owe their power. In the actual act of deception... They are overcome by belief in themselves. It is this which then speaks so miraculously and compellingly to those who surround them Picture Quote #1

We must not forget that all great revolutions and reformations would look mean and meagre if examined in detail as they occurred at the time Picture Quote #1

Probably a mistake, you know, that people make in America, to think that all great chefs are a male... I’m still the only male in the family who went into that business Picture Quote #1

Democracy represents the disbelief in all great men and in all elite societies: everybody is everybody’s equal Picture Quote #1

Do you know that all great spurts in... progress came just after some unorthodox ideas or exotic impressions had penetrated into a closed system? Picture Quote #1
