Mere Quotes

Casting out devils is mere juggling; they never cast out any but what they first cast in Picture Quote #1

From mere success nothing can be concluded in favor of any nation upon whom it is bestowed Picture Quote #1

Virtue is not to be considered in the light of mere innocence, or abstaining from harm; but as the exertion of our faculties in doing good Picture Quote #1

Those dreams that on the silent night intrude, and with false flitting shapes our minds delude... are mere productions of the brain. And fools consult interpreters in vain Picture Quote #1

There are things than cannot ever occur with any precision. They are too big and too magnificent to be contained in mere facts. They are merely trying to occur, they are checking whether the ground of reality can carry them. And they quickly withdraw, fearing to loose their integrity in the frailty of realization Picture Quote #1

It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise Picture Quote #1

There’s such a big difference between being dead and alive, I told myself, the greatest gift that anyone can give anyone else is life. And the greatest sin a person can do to another is to take away that life. Next to that, all the rules and religions in the world are secondary; mere words and beliefs that people choose to believe and kill and hate by. My life won’t be lived that way, and neither, I hope, will my children’s Picture Quote #1

The mere stuffing of the mind with a knowledge of facts is not education. The mind must not only possess a knowledge of the truth, but the soul must revere it, cherish it, love it as a priceless gem; and this human life must be guided and shaped by it in order to fulfill its destiny Picture Quote #1

I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all. So, tell me why should it be true, that I get a kick out of you? Picture Quote #1

Time is not the great teacher. Experience is. A man may live a whole life, but if he never leaves his home to experience that life, he dies knowing nothing. A mere child who has suffered and lived can be the wiser of the two Picture Quote #1

There must be a stronger foundation than mere friendship or sexual attraction. Unconditional love, agape love, will not be swayed by time or circumstances Picture Quote #1

I did not want to be anything, and naturally I did not want to turn myself into a mere profession: all I ever wanted was to be myself Picture Quote #1

The strain of constant adaptation to so many fearful events and discoveries is already too much to bear with sanity; one has to keep pretending to slip successfully into the new mould; a time will come when the tailored and camouflaged mind breaks beneath the burden; the stick insect in our brains no longer cares to resemble a twig on the same habitual human tree in the mere hope that it may survive extinction Picture Quote #1

I do believe I begin to grasp the nature of miracles! For would it be a miracle, if there was any reason for it? Miracles have nothing to do with reason. Miracles contradict reason, they strike clean across mere human deserts, and deliver and save where they will. If they made sense, they would not be miracles Picture Quote #1

Unlike a fountain that circulates the same water in an enclosed, perpetually recycling system, a human being circulates thoughts in an unlimited reservoir of self. Don’t limit yourself to being a mere fountain when you contain an ocean Picture Quote #1

God seemed to be having a hard time killing him, and he’d be damned if he was going to make the job easy for mere mortals Picture Quote #1

Everyone was a rose but even more complex than a mere flower. Everyone was made up of infinitely layered petals. And everyone had something indescribably precious at the heart of their being. No one was shallow. Not really Picture Quote #1

Live or die: mere consequences of what you have built. What matters is building well. So here we are I’ve assigned myself a new obligation. I’m going to stop undoing deconstructing I’m going to start building... What matters is what you are doing when you die... I want to be building Picture Quote #1

You may think you don’t want to throw your life away for mere fleeting euphoria. But, once you get a taste, it doesn’t feel so mere. From then on the planet becomes a waiting room. The rest of your life devolves to no more than the time between highs Picture Quote #1

A mere 400 years after our fall from the center of the universe, we have experienced the fall from the center of ourselves Picture Quote #1

I was lying, but I wanted to rouse him. I have an inborn urge to contradict; my whole life has been a mere chain of sad and futile opposition to the dictates of either heart or reason. The presence of an enthusiast makes me as cold as a midwinter’s day, and, I believe, frequent association with a listless phlegmatic would make me an impassioned dreamer Picture Quote #1

The avalanche of time sweeps everything before it. Every individual instant hurtles into oblivion, drowning out the obliteration of the instant immediately preceding it, and then it too disappears under the onslaught of the next and the next and the next. When the avalanche has shuddered past for a long enough time, the perception of the past evolves. Distant events grow beyond mere history and take on the weight of legend Picture Quote #1

I guess in all my years, what I heard more than anything else was: a mere town cannot support a discount store for very long Picture Quote #1

If advertising has invaded the judgment of children, it has also forced its way into the family, an insolent usurper of parental function, degrading parents to mere intermediaries between their children and the market. This indeed is a social revoluation in our time! Picture Quote #1

Tradition usually rests upon something which men did know; history is often the manufacture of the mere liar Picture Quote #1

The peace process we all aim for will not necessarily be a result of the mere signing of a treaty or agreement. It must become a matter of our everyday lives, so that peace settles and lasts and becomes supported by everybody. We therefore have to give peace all the required care and preserve it and promote it Picture Quote #1

Research! A mere excuse for idleness; it has never achieved, and will never achieve any results of the slightest value Picture Quote #1

Politics are vulgar when they are not liberalised by history, and history fades into mere literature when it loses sight of its relation to practical politics Picture Quote #1

Society is not a mere sum of individuals. Rather, the system formed by their association represents a specific reality which has its own characteristics... The group thinks, feels, and acts quite differently from the way in which its members would were they isolated. If, then, we begin with the individual, we shall be able to understand nothing of what takes place in the group Picture Quote #1

Nothing will ever equal that moment of joyous excitement which filled my whole being when I felt myself flying away from the earth. It was not mere pleasure; it was perfect bliss. Escaped from the frightful torments of persecution and of calumny, I felt that I was answering all in rising above all Picture Quote #1
