Text Quotes
The young today cannot follow narrative but they are alert to drama. They cannot bear description but they love landscape and action (Description Quotes)

Words, when well chosen, have so great a force in them, that a description often gives us more lively ideas than the sight of things themselves (Description Quotes)
It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind (Description Quotes)

This is the deal: we are happy to single out people as superior just as long as they don’t accept the description themselves. We want heroes and idols, but we also want egalitarianism, and that requires proclamations of humility from our gods (Description Quotes)
I am quite content to go down to posterity as a scissors and paste man for that seems to me a harsh but not unjust description (Description Quotes)
Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s (Description Quotes)
It is often said that reading is a gift, but to my mind that is an insufficient description, for the size of the gift of reading is so vast that it is difficult to see what is outside its wrapping (Description Quotes)
The description of lust was simple: two people learn they’re compatible, attraction grows, and the ancient instinct to preserve the species kicks in (Description Quotes)
That’s what alcoholics do. It’s in their job description: fall apart and then keep falling apart (Description Quotes)
Seedy wasn’t a fair description for the place, because seeds imply eventual regrowth and renewal (Description Quotes)
It is hard indeed to notice anything for which the languages available to us have no description (Description Quotes)
A system of general instruction, which shall reach every description of our citizens, from the richest to the poorest, as it was the earliest, so will it be the latest, of all the public concerns in which I shall permit myself to take an interest (Description Quotes)
When certain persons abuse us, let us ask ourselves what description of characters it is that they admire; we shall often find this a very consolatory question (Description Quotes)
Neither believe nor reject any thing because any other person, or description of persons have rejected or believed it. Your own reason is the only oracle given you by heaven (Description Quotes)
Voyeurism is a director’s job description. It’s an artist’s, too (Description Quotes)
The sorcerer’s description of the world is perceivable. But our insistence on holding on to our standard version of reality renders us almost deaf and blind to it (Description Quotes)
You are a genius beyond description, so start telling yourself that and become aware of who you really are (Description Quotes)
No prosaic description can portray the grandeur of 40 miles of rugged mountains rising beyond a placid lake in which each shadowy precipice and each purple gorge is reflected with a vividness that rivals the original (Description Quotes)
We can all reduce our life to a description that makes people feel sorry for ourselves or we can expand our life to a dimension where we connect and give to others (Description Quotes)
There is no description, no image in any book that is capable of replacing the sight of real trees, and all of the life to be found around them in a real forest (Description Quotes)
The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn (Description Quotes)
She had her own way of doing all that she did, and this is the simplest description of a character which, although by no means without liberal motions, rarely succeeded in giving an impression of suavity (Description Quotes)
The correct description is that we try every day to become more humble when we talk about divinity, we try to realize how little we know and how open minded we should be. It’s self centered to think that human beings, as limited as we are, can describe divinity (Description Quotes)
My description of wisdom has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is to do with being wise in one’s own virtue, nothing more. My description of being has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is that one should be led by one’s innate nature, nothing more (Description Quotes)
The heart is commonly reached, not through the reason, but through the imagination, by means of direct impressions, by the testimony of facts and events, by history, by description. Persons influence us, voices melt us, looks subdue us, deeds inflame us. Many a man will live and die upon a dogma; no man will be a martyr for a conclusion (Description Quotes)
The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes (Description Quotes)
