Text Quotes
I will burn, but this is a mere incident. We shall continue our discussion in eternity  (Mere Quotes) These are no ordinary claims; and it seems hardly possible for a rational being to regard them with even a subdued interest; much less to treat them with mere indifference and contempt. If not true they are little else than the pretensions of a bold imposture, which not satisfied with having already enslaved millions of the human race, seeks to continue its encroachments upon human liberty, until all nations be subjected under its iron rule  (Mere Quotes) Education, in its highest sense, is conscious training of mind or body to act unconsciously. It is conscious formation of mental habits, not mere acquisition of information  (Mere Quotes) The dullard finds even wine tasteless, while the sorcerer is intoxicated by the mere sight of water  (Mere Quotes) Psychedelic drugs undoubtedly open the doors to the mind’s panopticon, but what we see in the mental mirrors are mere distortions of reality, not reality itself  (Mere Quotes) Mere lack of success does not discredit a method, for there are many things that determine and perpetuate our sanctified ways of doing things besides their success in reaching their proposed ends  (Mere Quotes) The principle of real leadership ignored, the immortal objects of society forgotten, practical conservatism degenerated into mere laudation of private enterprise, economic policy almost wholly surrendered to special interests  (Mere Quotes) Action is the music of our life. Like music, it starts from a pause of leisure, a silence of activity which our initiative attacks; then it develops according to its inner logic, passes its climax, seeks its cadence, ends, and restores silence, leisure again. Action and leisure are thus interdependent; echoing and recalling each other, so that action enlivens leisure with its memories and anticipations, and leisure expands and raises action beyond its mere immediate self and gives it a permanent meaning  (Mere Quotes) Writers are not mere copyists of language; they are polishers, embellishers, perfecters. They spend hours getting the timing right so that what they write sounds completely unrehearsed  (Mere Quotes) The teacher who allows his scholars the freedom of the city of books is at liberty to be their guide, philosopher and friend; and is no longer the mere instrument of forcible intellectual feeding  (Mere Quotes) The world is complex, dynamic, multidimensiona l; the paper is static, flat. How are we to represent the rich visual world of experience and measurement on mere flatland?  (Mere Quotes) The state is an organization of mere mortals who, by one dubious method or another, have been allowed to don the mantle of political legitimacy and to command obedience on pain of imprisonment even of those who never consented to the preposterous arrangement  (Mere Quotes) All objects whether pleasant, unpleasant or neutral, are mere appearances to the mind just like things experienced in a dream  (Mere Quotes) A dining room table with children’s eager hungry faces around it, ceases to be a mere dining room table, and becomes an altar  (Mere Quotes) Human life is not some sort of race or game in which each person should start from an identical mark. It is an attempt by each man to be as happy as possible. And each person could not begin from the same point, for the world has not just come into being; it is diverse and infinitely varied in its parts. The mere fact that one individual is necessarily born in a different place from someone else immediately insures that his inherited opportunity cannot be the same as his neighbor’s  (Mere Quotes) The mere understanding, however useful and indispensable, is the meanest faculty in the human mind and the most to be distrusted  (Mere Quotes) The mere summoning of a witness and compelling him to testify against his will, about his beliefs, expressions or associations, is a measure of governmental interference. And when those forced revelations concern maters that are unorthodox, unpopular, or even hateful to the general public, the reactions in the life of the witness may be disastrous  (Mere Quotes) He who resolves never to ransack any mind but his own, will be soon reduced, from mere barrenness, to the poorest of all imitations; he will be obliged to imitate himself, and to repeat what he has before often repeated  (Mere Quotes) It may be true that people who are merely mathematicians have certain specific shortcomings; however that is not the fault of mathematics, but is true of every exclusive occupation. Likewise a mere linguist, a mere jurist, a mere soldier, a mere merchant, and so forth. One could add such idle chatter that when a certain exclusive occupation is often connected with certain specific shortcomings, it is on the other hand always free of certain other shortcomings  (Mere Quotes) A garden full of sweet odours is a garden full of charm, a most precious kind of charm not to be implanted by mere skill in horticulture or power of purse, and which is beyond explaining. It is born of sensitive and very personal preferences yet its appeal is almost universal  (Mere Quotes) Evil is short lived. Never judge of the whole round of life by the mere segment you can see. The whole is, in the end, perfect  (Mere Quotes) The mere fact that you get a lot of seeds in a packet doesn’t mean you have to plant all of them  (Mere Quotes) In our own time we have seen domination spread over the social landscape to a point where it is beyond all human control. Compared to this stupendous mobilization of materials, of wealth, of human intellect, of human labor for the single goal of domination, all other recent human achievements pale to almost trivial significance. Our art, science, medicine, literature, music and charitable acts seem like mere droppings from a table on which gory feasts on the spoils of conquest have engaged the attention of a system whose appetite for rule is utterly unrestrained  (Mere Quotes) To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth…but only a problem of art is solved in poetry  (Mere Quotes) More than a mere alternative strategy, regenerative agriculture represents a fundamental shift in our culture’s relationship to nature  (Mere Quotes) He, general or mere captain, who employs every one in the storming of a position can be sure of seeing it retaken by an organized counterattack of four men and a corporal  (Mere Quotes) Love is our only weapon. Only love can turn mere life into a miracle, and draw precious meaning from suffering and fear  (Mere Quotes) Democracy is not a mere consequence, a certain stage in the development of society. It is the condition on which the survival of productive forces depends  (Mere Quotes) Have you ever stopped to consider the power of words? Through mere words, wars have started and ended. Tender feelings have been hurt and soothed. Courage has been instilled and fear has been implanted. Lives have been destroyed and others changed for the better. Think back on your own life when words have hurt you deeply or have comforted and given you strength and hope to do better  (Mere Quotes) The difference between psychedelia and digitalia ages will seem like a smooth blending in years to come and will be a mere blip on the screen  (Mere Quotes)
