Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man Picture Quote #1

Most people are clever because they don’t know how to be honest. William Gaddis, The Recognitions Picture Quote #1

You need to have a lot of close family around you, a lot of friends to keep you honest. Take your time, take a year and just slow everything down a little bit. Get away from the success part, stay with yourself. Go off on a beach somewhere or do something to keep yourself aligned right Picture Quote #1

I hate summer, to be honest. I hate dressing. I hate the heat. I hate sweaty people getting aggressively close to you when you’re walking down the street Picture Quote #1

To love, you close your eyes. To do good, you deceive oneself. To be honest, you ditch oneself. To be good, you have to transcend all the three ideas Picture Quote #1

I have the Sony Reader; I have the Kindle as well. I don’t really use either of them, to be honest. I’d rather sit down with a cup of coffee and a newspaper than read all my digital books Picture Quote #1

Being alone makes us stronger. That’s the honest truth. But it’s cold comfort, since even if I wanted company no one will come near me anymore Picture Quote #1

After college, I was living in New York and wrote furiously, a huge novel that I knew was a failure. I hoped that the book would work, but to be honest, I think I knew it would never work, even as I was finishing it Picture Quote #1

And if you are honest about the words coming out of your characters’ mouths, you’ll find that you’ve let yourself in for a fair amount of criticism Picture Quote #1

You just have to make sure you’re writing about something that’s true. It has to be honest and it has to have a real emotion behind it, regardless of where it’s coming from Picture Quote #1

I think our biggest problem is lack of real, honest communication between black men and black women. A lot of men talk amongst men, and a lot of women speak amongst women Picture Quote #1

Complete honesty has nothing to do with ‘purity’ or naivety. The full truth is unattainable to naivety, and the completely honest artist is not pure in heart Picture Quote #1

The literary story is a story that deals with the complicated human heart with an honest tolerance for the ambiguity in which we live. No good guys, no bad guys, just guys: that is, people bearing up in the crucible of their days and certainly not always - if ever - capable of articulating their condition Picture Quote #1

I think teaching keeps me honest because if I’m up in front of a class talking about what I think is important about fiction while knowing I myself have just failed to do that hours earlier at my computer - it’s a good and humbling reminder Picture Quote #1

There’s all these ways to instantly communicate - cars, computers, telephone and transportation - and even with all that, it’s so hard to find people and have an honest communication with them Picture Quote #1

Among so many conflicting ideas and so many different perspectives, the honest man is confused and distressed and the skeptic becomes wicked ... Since one must take sides, one might as well choose the side that is victorious, the side which devastates, loots, and burns. Considering the alternative, it is better to eat than to be eaten Picture Quote #1

When you have kids, they are the consistent things in your life. They don’t change no matter what’s going on. They love you. They are more honest than anybody will be Picture Quote #1

Facts count. Conspiracy theories, usually the refuge of the bitter or disempowered, range from factually challenged to wildly hallucinogenic. Many conspiracy theories do both overt and tacit harm. Almost all are insults, intended or unintended, are insults to thousands of hard-working and honest people, and sometimes to entire races, nations, or cultures Picture Quote #1

For the life of me, I don’t understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen, and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities Picture Quote #1

This Constitutional Republic called America is an historic aberration. Any honest student of history will note that the prevailing socio-economic system is feudalism, where a tiny minority control the vast majority of wealth, power, and resources. In doing so, they have absolute control over the 99% of the population. Power equals control Picture Quote #1

My attempt has been really to, beyond making a record of contemporary life, which is what you inevitably do, is trying to make beautiful books - books that are in some way beautiful, that are models of how to use the language, models of honest feeling, models of care Picture Quote #1

To be honest with you, I still eat whatever I want. It’s all about portion control. I still love pizza, but instead of eating half, I eat a slice Picture Quote #1

Well I think that you have to be open and honest in order to learn from your mistakes and be able to correct them in the future to understand what would happen to take things off course. And if we don’t address these issues openly and honestly then we don’t learn Picture Quote #1

Pakistan is rich in sporting talent, but the only thing needed is to have sincere and honest administrators who should be held accountable by the government. Pakistan should be recognised as a sporting nation and not as a terrorist country Picture Quote #1

Republicans should simply focus on first principles and give the American people what they want - an honest party dedicated to common sense, fiscal responsibility and limited government. If we govern to save the country, we’ll do well as a party Picture Quote #1

I don’t really go out that much, if I’m honest. I’m quite a recluse. If I had my way, I’d probably be at home most of the time with a book and a cup of tea or glass of wine Picture Quote #1

Do you want my honest opinion? People ask. I say, Yes, for I’m curious. So they give me their honest opinion, And I - well, I’m always furious Picture Quote #1

Could I see myself with a British boyfriend? Absolutely. The way they wear their pants is so cute. Guys don’t do it in America. Their style is cute. I just feel like Brits are honest - period. And that’s what I like Picture Quote #1
