Mere Quotes

For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth.

Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state Picture Quote #1

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is not mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself Picture Quote #1

All our affirmations are mere matters of chronology; and even our bad taste is nothing more than the bad taste of the age we live in Picture Quote #1

The mere process of growing old together will make our slightest acquaintances seem like bosom friends Picture Quote #1

Subordination tends greatly to human happiness. Were we all upon an equality, we should have no other enjoyment than mere animal pleasure Picture Quote #1

It has to be acknowledged that in capitalist society, with its herds of hippies, originality has become a sort of fringe benefit, a mere convention, accepted obsolescence, the Beatnik model being turned in for the Hippie model, as though strangely obedient to capitalist laws of marketing Picture Quote #1

What we do need to worry about is the possibility that we will be reduced, in the face of the enormities of our time, to silence or to mere protest Picture Quote #1

A servile race who, in mere want of fault, all merit place; who blind obedience pay to ancient schools, bigots to Greece, and slaves to musty rules Picture Quote #1

Where no interest is takes in science, literature and liberal pursuits, mere facts and insignificant criticisms necessarily become the themes of discourse; and minds, strangers alike to activity and meditation, become so limited as to render all intercourse with them at once tasteless and oppressive Picture Quote #1

Worthy work carries with it the hope of pleasure in rest, the hope of the pleasure in our using what it makes, and the hope of pleasure in our daily creative skill. All other work but this is worthless; it is slaves' work - mere toiling to live, that we may live to toil Picture Quote #1

Beauty, which is what is meant by art, using the word in its widest sense, is, I contend, no mere accident to human life, which people can take or leave as they choose, but a positive necessity of life Picture Quote #1

We have used the bible as if it were a mere special constable's handbook, an opium dose for keeping beasts of burden patient while they are overloaded Picture Quote #1

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving Picture Quote #1

The oppressors develop a series of methods precluding any presentation of the world as a problem and showing it rather as a fixed entity, as something given--something to which people, as mere spectators, must adapt Picture Quote #1

After all, enforced national bilingualism in this country isn't mere policy. It has attained the status of a religion. It's a dogma which one is supposed to accept without question Picture Quote #1

Freedom of thought and of expression are not mere rights to be claimed. They have their roots deep in the existence of individuals as developing careers in time. Their denial and abrogation is an abdication of individuality and a virtual rejection of time as opportunity Picture Quote #1

Change as change is mere flux and lapse; it insults intelligence. Genuinely to know is to grasp a permanent end that realizes itself through changes Picture Quote #1

Someday there will be girls and women whose name will no longer mean the mere opposite of the male, but something in itself, something that makes one think not of any complement and limit, but only life and reality: the female human being Picture Quote #1
