Text Quotes
The value of money has been settled by general consent to express our wants and our property, as letters were invented to express our ideas; and both these institutions, by giving a more active energy to the powers and passions of human nature, have contributed to multiply the objects they were designed to represent  (Invented Quotes) From the apparent usefulness of the social virtues, it has readily been inferred by sceptics, both ancient and modern, that all moral distinctions arise from education, and were, at first, invented, and afterwards encouraged... in order to render men tractable, and subdue their natural ferocity and selfishness, which incapacitated them for society  (Invented Quotes) With all due respect for the wondrous ways people have invented to amuse themselves and one another on paved surfaces, I find that this exodus from the land makes me unspeakably sad. I think of the children who will never know, intuitively, that a flower is a plant’s way of making love, or what silence sounds like, or that trees breathe out what we breathe in  (Invented Quotes) History will also give occasion to expatiate on the advantage of civil orders and constitutions; how men and their properties are protected by joining in societies and establishing government; their industry encouraged and rewarded, arts invented, and life made more comfortable; the advantages of liberty, mischiefs of licentiousness, benefits arising from good laws and a due execution of justice. Thus may the first principles of sound politics be fixed in the minds of youth  (Invented Quotes) I thought I was going to be a filmmaker but at the same time I was an intellectual and I felt that I could make a contribution to some field, as yet, not invented  (Invented Quotes) Once you have invented a character with three dimensions and a voice, you begin to realize that some of the things you’d like him to do to further your plot are things that such a person wouldn’t, or couldn’t, do  (Invented Quotes) People think that because a novel’s invented, it isn’t true. Exactly the reverse is the case. Biography and memoirs can never be wholly true, since they cannot include every conceivable circumstance of what happened. The novel can do that  (Invented Quotes) Casey knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven’t even caught on to yet  (Invented Quotes) He invented this idea of telling the life story of a great writer through becoming his characters and becoming him. It was such a pleasure and I thought we must find another writer  (Invented Quotes) Henry is entirely invented though by now I feel he’s as real as anyone I know  (Invented Quotes) The character I play is a wonderful compilation of things I hate about myself and things I love about myself and things that I’ve invented to make her even more interesting than me  (Invented Quotes) Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years. So even if I was on the right track, I could be living in the wrong century  (Invented Quotes) It’s the light, she thought. Everyone looks like a cutthroat by torchlight. No wonder they invented electricity  (Invented Quotes) Here’s to matrimony, the high sea for which no compass has yet been invented!  (Invented Quotes) The same sort of thing was supposed to happen when performance animation was invented: Everybody thought it would save so much time. But it became its own niche altogether  (Invented Quotes) Philistine must have originally meant, in the mind of those who invented the nickname, a strong, dogged, unenlightened opponent of the children of the light  (Invented Quotes) I like to think that if music hadn’t existed, I could have invented it  (Invented Quotes) Reflecting an amalgam of economics, monetary, and psychological factors, the stock market represents possibly the most subtly intricate game invented by man  (Invented Quotes) I’m the only guy who actually invented anything of the judges. They got a couple of advertising hacks, and a venture capitalist  (Invented Quotes) The guy who invented poker was bright, but the guy who invented the chip was a genius  (Invented Quotes) The bathtub was invented in 1850 and the telephone in 1875. In other words, if you had been living in 1850, you could have sat in the bathtub for 25 years without having to answer the phone  (Invented Quotes) I’ve done some things I wish I could erase... I invented mistakes. But the mistakes must be seen in context, and they must be weighed along with the positives  (Invented Quotes) Looking up is the biggest alibi ever invented to explain a terrible shot. By the time you look up, you’ve already made the mistake  (Invented Quotes) I don’t think anybody yet has invented a pastime that’s as much fun, or keeps you as young, as a good job  (Invented Quotes) Clothes are like a gloss that sets off everything; dresser were invented more to enhance physical advantages than to veil physical defects  (Invented Quotes) Of all the damnable waste of human life that ever was invented, clerking is the very worst  (Invented Quotes) I have too deeply read mankind to be amused with friendship; it is a name invented merely to betray credulity; it is intercourse of interest, not of souls  (Invented Quotes) By luxury we condemn ourselves to greater torments than have yet been invented by anger or revenge, or inflicted by the greatest tyrants upon the worst of men  (Invented Quotes) The art of writing books is not yet invented. But it is at the point of being invented. Fragments of this nature are literary seeds. There may be many an infertile grain among them: nevertheless, if only some come up!  (Invented Quotes) People talk about the horrors of war, but what weapon has man invented that even approaches in cruelty to some of the commoner diseases? Natural death, almost by definition, means something slow, smelly and painful  (Invented Quotes)
