Dio Quotes

... neither fate, nor history, nor the anger of the State, nor the glory or infamy of battle has any power to affect those who call themselves human beings. No, whatever life holds in store - hard-won glory, poverty and despair, or death in a labor camp - they will live as human beings and die as human beings, the same as those who have already perished; and in this alone lies man's eternal and bitter victory over all the grandiose and inhuman forces that ever have been or will be Picture Quote #1

The panel on the right portrayed Jesus emerging from his tomb, as Mary Magdalene, in a red dress (also iron, or perhaps grated particles of gold), holds out to him a purple garment (manganese dioxide) and a loaf of yellow bread (silver chloride) Picture Quote #1

He could only consider me as the living corpse of a would-be suicide, a person dead to shame, an idiot ghost Picture Quote #1

Goodness is weakness, pleasantness is poisonous, serenity is mediocrity and kindness is for losers. The best reason for committing loathsome and detestable acts – and let's face it, I am considered something of an expert in this field – is purely for their own sake. Monetary gain is all very well, but it dilutes the taste of wickedness to a lower level that is obtainable by almost anyone with an overdeveloped sense of avarice. True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good – Picture Quote #1

I'd been an idiot to think that this was anything but a quest. Searches were nice and soft and cuddly and no one need be killed. A quest always demanded the death of a trusted colleague and one or more difficult dilemmas. I'd been in denial. I'd been a fool Picture Quote #1

Idolatry is not the use of images, but confusing them with what they represent, and in this respect mental images and lofty abstractions can be more insidious than bronze idols Picture Quote #1

Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best. Genius must always have lapses proportionate to its triumphs Picture Quote #1

There was a dense fog in my brain, impenetrable to any coherent thought, except the dull obsession of counting the minutes - an aching state of semi consciousness and numb idiocy Picture Quote #1

Mormonism, it seems to me, is - objectively - just a little more idiotic than Christianity is. It has to be: because it is Christianity plus some very stupid ideas Picture Quote #1

That was her mistake. She'd pinned her happiness to a teenage girl's chest. Idiot. The realization made her almost smile. She certainly knew better than that Picture Quote #1

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires Picture Quote #1

The problem with religion, because it's been sheltered from criticism, is that it allows people to believe en masse what only idiots or lunatics could believe in isolation Picture Quote #1

One knows one's madness, by and large. By and large the knowledge is vacuous. The notion of naming the beast to conquer it is the idiot optimism of psychotherapy Picture Quote #1

At night his most frequent recurring dream was of doing The Times crossword puzzle; his most disagreeable that he was reading a tedious book aloud to his family Picture Quote #1

You have the army of mediocrities followed by the multitude of fools. As the mediocrities and the fools always form the immense majority, it is impossible for them to elect an intelligent government Picture Quote #1

For since a Prince by birth has fewer occasions and less need to give offence, he ought to be better loved, and will naturally be popular with his subjects unless outrageous vices make him odious Picture Quote #1

The studio people want me to do good-bye Charlie for the movies, but I'm not going to do it. I don't like the idea of playing a man in a woman's body - you know? It just doesn't seem feminine Picture Quote #1

There was no such thing as luck. Luck was a word idiots used to explain the consequences of their own rashness, and selfishness, and stupidity. More often than not bad luck meant bad plans Picture Quote #1

O Dionysus, we feel you near, stirring like molten lava under the ravaged earth, flowing from the wounds of your trees in tears of sap, screaming with the rage of your hunted beasts Picture Quote #1

All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man Picture Quote #1

The tendencies of democracies are, in all things, to mediocrity, since the tastes, knowledge and principles of the majority form the tribunal of the appeal Picture Quote #1

A management decision is irresponsible if it risks disaster this year for the sake of a grandiose future Picture Quote #1

For God's sake, let us be men not monkeys minding machines or sitting with our tails curled while the machine amuses us, the radio or film or gramophone. Monkeys with a bland grin on our faces Picture Quote #1

Music itself was color blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists Picture Quote #1

Know thyself - a maxim as pernicious as it is odious. A person observing himself would arrest his own development. Any caterpillar who tried to know himself would never become a butterfly Picture Quote #1

The world is a raving idiot, and no man can kill it: though I'll do my best. But you're right. We must rescue ourselves as best we can Picture Quote #1

I love you, rotten, delicious rottenness.... wonderful are the hellish experiences, Orphic, delicate Dionysos of the underworld Picture Quote #1

The Earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change and pleased with novelty, might be indulged Picture Quote #1

I lost track of time when I was in the studio painting. I will get lost in the canvas. It was a real release for me. It was almost as if I transcended time and moved into another dimension Picture Quote #1

What should be brought explicitly to the forefront here is the manner in which God speaks truth, namely, through the idioms, attitudes, assumptions, and general worldviews of the ancient authors Picture Quote #1
