Curiously Quotes

It was then, so curiously, that Miranda held out her arms... And Rachaela went into the arms of Miranda, and together they wept,... like ancient sisters in a tragedy Picture Quote #1

Curiously enough man’s body and his mind appear to differ in their climatic adaptations Picture Quote #1

The general knowledge of time on the island depends, curiously enough, on the direction of the wind Picture Quote #1

What we have to do is to be forever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impressions Picture Quote #1

Curiously enough, it seems to be only in describing a mode of language which does not mean what it says that one can actually say what one means Picture Quote #1

We are so curiously made that one atom put in the wrong place in our original structure will often make us unhappy for life Picture Quote #1

He who lives in the single exercise of his mental faculties, however usefully or curiously directed, is equally an imperfect animal with the man who knows only the exercise of muscles Picture Quote #1

For those at home, as well as for those in battle, war is curiously disabling. The mere realization that one’s country is at war poisons the bloodstream, creates an incessant mood of worry that infiltrates even the most casual moments Picture Quote #1

What remains of your past if you didn’t allow yourself to feel it when it happened? If you don’t have your experiences in the moment, if you gloss them over with jokes or zoom past them, you end up with curiously dispassionate memories Picture Quote #1

The novels were an escape from reality in the sense that we could marvel at their beauty and perfection. Curiously, the novels we escaped into led us finally to question and prod our own realities, about which we felt so helplessly speechless Picture Quote #1

We must not inquire too curiously into the absolute value of literature. Enough that it amuses and exercises us. At least it leaves us where we were. It names things, but does not add things Picture Quote #1

There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us Picture Quote #1

It is always the case with the best work, that it is misrepresented, and disparaged at first, for it takes a curiously long time for new ideas to become current, and the older men who ought to be capable of taking them in freely, will not do so through prejudice Picture Quote #1

Though many schizophrenics become curiously attached to their delusions, the fading of the nondelusional world puts them in loneliness beyond all reckoning, a fixed residence on a noxious private planet they can never leave, and where they can receive no visitors Picture Quote #1

The capacity to tolerate complexity and welcome contradiction, not the need for simplicity and certainty, is the attribute of an explorer. Centuries ago, when some people suspended their search for absolute truth and began instead to ask how things worked, modern science was born. Curiously, it was by abandoning the search for absolute truth that science began to make progress, opening the material universe to human exploration Picture Quote #1

Some writers are curiously unmusical. I don’t get it. I don’t get them. For me, music is essential. I always have music on when I’m doing well. Writing and music are two different mediums, but musical phrases can give you sentences that you didn’t think you ever had Picture Quote #1

Joy, happiness... we do not question. They are beyond question, maybe. A matter of being. But pain forces us to think, and to make connections... to discover what has been happening to cause it. And, curiously enough, pain draws us to other human beings in a significant way, whereas joy or happiness to some extent, isolates Picture Quote #1

A morbid propensity that causes great suffering in domestic life is often curiously infectious to the very person for whom it creates most suffering Picture Quote #1

Curiously enough, it is often the people who refuse to assume any responsibility who are apt to be the sharpest critics of those who do Picture Quote #1

Despite my mum being from a small village in the middle of a forest, I’m not a country person. I don’t like my bacon sandwich to be curiously snuffling at my fingers. But sometimes being police means holding your breath and fondling a pig Picture Quote #1

The select natures who pant after the ideal, and find nothing in pantaloons or petticoats great enough to command their reverence and love, are curiously in unison with the narrowest and pettiest Picture Quote #1
