Text Quotes
In their choice of lovers both the male and the female reveal their essential nature. The type of human being we prefer reveals the contours of our heart. Love is an impulse which springs from the most profound depths of our beings, and upon reaching the visible surface of life carries with it an alluvium of shells and seaweed from the inner abyss. A skilled naturalist, by filing these materials, can reconstruct the oceanic depths from which they have been uprooted (Impulse Quotes)
For anyone of a rational disposition, fashion is often nearly impossible to fathom. Throughout many periods of history – perhaps most – it can seem as if the whole impulse of fashion has been to look maximally ridiculous. If one could be maximally uncomfortable as well, the triumph was all the greater (Impulse Quotes)
Perhaps because the origins of a certain kind of love lie in an impulse to escape ourselves and out weaknesses by an alliance with the beautiful and noble. But if the loved ones love us back, we are forced to return to ourselves, and are hence reminded of the things that had driven us into love in the first place. Perhaps it was not love we wanted after all, perhaps it was simply someone in whom to believe, but how can we continue to believe the the beloved now that they believe in us? (Impulse Quotes)
He who acts under an emotional impulse also acts. What distinguishes an emotional action from other actions is the valuation of input and output. Emotions disarrange valuations. Inflamed with passion, man sees the goal as more desirable and the price he has to pay for it as less burdensome than he would in cool deliberation (Impulse Quotes)
The poetic impulse is distinct from ideas about things or feelings about things, though it may use these. It’s more like a desire to separate a piece of one’s experience and set it up on its own, an isolated object never to trouble you again, at least not for a bit. In the absence of this impulse nothing stirs (Impulse Quotes)
Inherent in the impulse to be free, is insecurity. The impulse to be free comes from outside of the mind, and because of this, it makes the mind feel very insecure. Most spiritual seekers move away from this insecurity by seeking and striving for a distant spiritual goal. That’s how they avoid feeling insecure (Impulse Quotes)
It will come all right in the end. There is the steady impulse of your determination that sets you on your feet again after every downfall and breakdown. Gradually the obstacles are all overcome and your current becomes stronger. Everything comes right in the end. Steady determination is what is required (Impulse Quotes)
Blind hate against the enemy creates a forceful impulse that cracks the boundaries of natural human limitations, transforming the soldier in an effective, selective and cold killing machine. A people without hate cannot triumph against the adversary (Impulse Quotes)
Civilization is social order promoting cultural creation. Four elements constitute it: economic provision, political organization, moral tradition, and the pursuit of knowledge and the arts. It begins where chaos and insecurity end. For when fear is overcome, curiosity and constructiveness are free, and man passes by natural impulse towards the understanding and embellishment of life (Impulse Quotes)
The impulse of the journalist is to be novel, yet to relate his curiosities to the urgencies of the moment; the philosopher seeks what he conceives to be true, regardless of the moment (Impulse Quotes)
Anticipation of movement, through muscular innervation and memory, by its retention of nerve impulse images, extend the present to the limit of a second or so (Impulse Quotes)
A true history of human events would show that a far larger proportion of our acts are the result of sudden impulse and accident than of that reason of which we so much boast (Impulse Quotes)
Weight, force and casual impulse, together with resistance, are the four external powers in which all the visible actions of mortals have their being and their end (Impulse Quotes)
Since we want not emancipation from impulse but clarification of impulse, the duty of rhetoric is to bring together action and understanding into a whole that is greater than scientific perception (Impulse Quotes)
The mystical impulse in men is somehow a desire to possess the universe. In women, it’s a desire to be possessed (Impulse Quotes)
I had to stifle an impulse to laugh. Surely cowardice had nothing to do with his decision. Surely he had nothing so primitive and unmilitary as a will to live (Impulse Quotes)
Great art must be guided by an invisible technique; it must seem the spontaneous blossom of the moment’s mood and impulse (Impulse Quotes)
Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It’s a bum’s life... The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis (Impulse Quotes)
Great ages of art come only when a widespread creative impulse meets an equally widespread impulse of sympathy (Impulse Quotes)
The impulse to perform a worthy action often springs from our best nature, but is afterwards tainted by the spur of selfishness or sinister interest (Impulse Quotes)
A man does not entreat for love. It is the irresistible impulse towards each other of two souls, a union in which there is neither conscious giving nor receiving (Impulse Quotes)
Calculation is of the head; impulse is of the heart; and both are good in their way (Impulse Quotes)
Lips moulded in love are tremulously full of the glowing softness they borrow from the heart, and electrically obedient to its impulse (Impulse Quotes)
Reflection brakes men cowards. There is no object that can be put in competition with life, unless it is viewed through the medium of passion, and we are hurried away by the impulse of the moment (Impulse Quotes)
Love contending with friendship, and self with each generous impulse. To and fro in his breast his thoughts were heaving and dashing, as in a foundering ship (Impulse Quotes)
We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it (Impulse Quotes)
Rare is the human being, immature or mature, who has never felt an impulse to pretend he is some one or something else (Impulse Quotes)
The impression left after watching the motions of birds is that of extreme mobility - a life of perpetual impulse checked only by fear (Impulse Quotes)
I have had this longstanding interest in going back to school to get a Ph.D. in art history. I was especially interested in exploring this idea of the ecstatic impulse in an artist (Impulse Quotes)
