Fancies Quotes

Drill and uniforms impose an architecture on the crowd. An army’s beautiful. But that’s not all; it panders to lower instincts than the aesthetic. The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master Picture Quote #1

I set out to show that there exists single creative activity,which is displayed alike in the arts and in the sciences.It is wrong to think of science as a mechanical record of facts, and it is wrong to think of the arts as remote and private fancies. What makes each human, what makes them universal, is the stamp of the creative mind Picture Quote #1

As all-consuming as a young girl’s fancies were ... a woman’s desires could be twice as dangerous Picture Quote #1

The fancies that take their monstrous birth from the spinelessness and boredom of usurped wealth bring in their wake every defect ... and though rich men’s crimes escape the law, protected as they are by the cowardice of governments and people, Nature, more real than society, sets her anarchic example by abandoning the wretched time servers of Capital to the shame and madness of the worst aberrations Picture Quote #1

Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable . . . Men base all these fears not on mature opinions, but on irrational fancies, that they are more disturbed by fear of the unknown than by facing facts. Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears Picture Quote #1

Filled with mingled cream and amber I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber Through the chambers of my brain -- Quaintest thoughts -- queerest fancies Come to life and fade away; Who cares how time advances? I am drinking ale today Picture Quote #1

My lusts they do me leave, My fancies all be fled, And tract of time begins to weave Grey hairs upon my head Picture Quote #1

I have gone through the most terrible affair that could possibly happen; only imagine, my shadow has gone mad; I suppose such a poor, shallow brain, could not bear much; he fancies that he has become a real man, and that I am his shadow Picture Quote #1

The presence all thy fancies supersedes, all that is done which thou wouldst seek in deeds, the wealth obliterates all seeming needs Picture Quote #1

We belittle what we cannot bear. We make figments out of fundamentals, all in the name of preserving our own peculiar fancies. The best way to secure one's own deception is to accuse others of deceit Picture Quote #1

He that fancies himself very enlightened because he sees the deficiencies of others may be very ignorant, because he has not studied his own Picture Quote #1

Growing one's own choice words and fancies In orange tubs, and beds of pansies' One's sighs and passionate declarations, in odorous rhetoric of carnations Picture Quote #1

At night, to his own dark fancies a prey, he lies like a hedgehog rolled up the wrong way, tormenting himself with his prickles Picture Quote #1

Geology, indeed, in this view, may be called a romantic science Picture Quote #1
