Men do not know the natural infirmity of their mind: it does nothing but ferret and quest, and keeps incessantly whirling around, building up and becoming entangled in its own work, like silkworms, and is suffocated in it.

I am gradually approaching the period in my life when work comes first... No longer diverted by other emotions, I work the way a cow grazes Picture Quote #1

So many people are diverted to doing what people want photographed - fashion models, buildings, mountains - they get to thinking those photographs are good Picture Quote #1

It is significant that whenever the public mind is to be diverted from great social wrong, a crusade is inaugurated against indecency Picture Quote #1

When our ancestors crouched about the camp fire at night, they told each other tales of gods and heroes, monsters and marvels, to hold back the terrors of the night. Such tales comforted and entertained, diverted and educated those who listened, and helped shape their sense of the world and their place in it Picture Quote #1

In the 1920s, a generation before the coming of solid-state electronics, one could look at the circuits and see how the electron stream flowed. Radios had valves, as though electricity were a fluid to be diverted by plumbing. With the click of the knob came a significant hiss and hum, just at the edge of audibility Picture Quote #1

Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you’ve got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results.

I just don’t know the art of making friends with girls. And that’s the reason why I’ve never had a single girl as a friend. Also, I’m so engrossed in cricket that I’ve never found an opportunity to interact with girls very closely. In a way, it’s better, as my mind doesn’t get diverted! Picture Quote #1

Leisure and curiosity might soon make great advances in useful knowledge, were they not diverted by minute emulation and laborious trifles Picture Quote #1

Tombs decked by the arts can scarcely represent death as a formidable enemy; we do not, indeed, like the ancients, carve sports and dances in the sarcophagus, but thought is diverted from the bier by works that tell of immortality, even from the altar of death Picture Quote #1

If the psychic energies of the average mass of people watching a football game or a musical comedy could be diverted into the rational channels of a freedom movement, they would be invincible Picture Quote #1

Time spent in a casino is time given to death, a foretaste of the hour when one's flesh will be diverted to the purposes of the worm and not of the will Picture Quote #1
