Text Quotes
Isn’t it sad how some people’s grip on their lives is so precarious that they’ll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?  (Delusion Quotes) All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion  (Delusion Quotes) They suffered from the terrible delusion that something could be done. They seemed prepared to make the world the way they wanted it or die in the attempt, and the trouble with dying in the attempt was that you died in the attempt  (Delusion Quotes) In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane  (Delusion Quotes) The best any human can do is to pick a delusion that helps him get through the day  (Delusion Quotes) We also know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling  (Delusion Quotes) Praying which does not result in pure conduct is a delusion. We have missed the whole office and virtue of praying if it does not rectify conduct. It is in the very nature of things that we must quit praying, or quit bad conduct  (Delusion Quotes) Prayer is to the skeptic a delusion, a waste of time. To the believer it represents perhaps the most important use of time  (Delusion Quotes) Little praying is a kind of make believe, a salve for the conscience, a farce and a delusion  (Delusion Quotes) The fiction of happiness is propagated by every tongue and confirmed by every look till at last all profess the joy which they do not feel and consent to yield to the general delusion  (Delusion Quotes) Experience convinces me that permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence. Even if my belief is a fond delusion, it will be admitted that it is a fascinating delusion  (Delusion Quotes) Whoever despises the high wisdom of mathematics nourishes himself on delusion and will never still the sophistic sciences whose only product is an eternal uproar  (Delusion Quotes) The belief that security can be obtained by throwing a small state to the wolves is a fatal delusion  (Delusion Quotes) It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions  (Delusion Quotes) If we’re capable of conjuring up terrifying monsters in childhood, why shouldn’t some of us, at least on occasion, be able to fantasize something similar, something truly horrifying, a shared delusion, as adults?  (Delusion Quotes) Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion  (Delusion Quotes) Faith is belief without evidence and reason; coincidentally that’s also the definition of delusion  (Delusion Quotes) When told that man lives in delusion everyone thinks of himself as the exception; hence his delusion  (Delusion Quotes) It is possible to live only as long as life intoxicates us; once we are sober we cannot help seeing that it is all a delusion, a stupid delusion  (Delusion Quotes) When you are free from delusion, you can enjoy illusion. Enjoy the dream but enjoy the dream being free  (Delusion Quotes) We labor under the fatal delusion that no disease can be cured without medicine. This has been responsible for more mischief to mankind than any other evil... Disease increases in proportion to the increase to the number of doctors in a place  (Delusion Quotes) I knew each person’s delusion, the places their records had scratched, where the sounds repeated  (Delusion Quotes) We need to brace ourselves for a struggle against terrifying obstacles... bot h of our own making and imposed by the natural world. And the first step is to recover from the mass delusion that is positive thinking  (Delusion Quotes) Some are masters of illusions, some are ministers of trade, all under the same delusion, all their beds unmade  (Delusion Quotes) History is the most dangerous product which the chemistry of the mind has concocted. Its properties are well known. It produces dreams and drunkenness. It fills people with false memories, exaggerates their reactions, exacerbates old grievances, torments them in their repose, and encourages either a delirium of grandeur or a delusion of persecution. It makes whole nations bitter, arrogant, insufferable and vainglorious  (Delusion Quotes) We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us  (Delusion Quotes) We should reflect on the idea that since the beginning of time sentient beings have been mentally unstable because they have been slaves of delusion, they lack the eye of wisdom to see the path leading to nirvana and enlightenment, and they lack the necessary guidance of a spiritual teacher. Moment by moment they are indulging in negative actions, which will eventually bring about their downfall  (Delusion Quotes) I felt the electricity of his body behind me as he reached around me and took the card from my hand. He didn’t move away, and I battled the urge to lean back into him, seeking the comfort of his strength. Would he wrap his arms around me? Make me feel safe, if only for a moment, and if only a delusion?  (Delusion Quotes) It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things, and you see only charm. And if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral  (Delusion Quotes) It is a popular delusion that the scientific enquirer is under an obligation not to go beyond generalisation of observed facts... but anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond the facts, rarely get as far  (Delusion Quotes)
