Text Quotes
Beware of turning into the enemy you most fear. All it takes is to lash out violently at someone who has done you some grievous harm, proclaiming that only your pain matters in this world. More than against that person’s body, you will then, at that moment, be committing a crime against your own imagination  (More Than Quotes) In my lifetime I have murdered 21 human beings, I have committed thousands of burglaries, robberies, larcenies, arson’s and, last but not least, I have committed sodomy on more than 1,000 male human beings. For all these things I am not in the least bit sorry  (More Than Quotes) If unable to abstain from drinking, a man may get drunk three times a month; if he does it more than three times he is culpable; if he gets drunk twice a month it is better; if once a month, this is still more laudable; and if one does not drink at all what can be better? But where can I find such a man? If such a man were found he would be worthy of the highest esteem  (More Than Quotes) Look at your life. Look at the ways in which you define who you are and what you’re capable of achieving. Look at your goals. Look at the pressures applied by the people around you and the culture in which you were raised. Look again. And again. Keep looking until you realize, within your own experience, that you’re so much more than who you believe you are. Keep looking until you discover the wondrous heart, the marvelous mind, that is the very basis of your being  (More Than Quotes) The only thing we photographers really want more than life, more than sex, more than anything, is to be invisible  (More Than Quotes) For those searching for something more than just the norm. We lay it all down, including what others call sanity, for just a few moments on waves larger than life. We do this because we know there is still something greater than all of us. Something that inspires us spiritually. We start going down hill, when we stop taking risks  (More Than Quotes) The fiery force is nothing more than the life force as we know it. It is the flame of desire and love, of sex and beauty, of pleasure and joy as we consume and are consumed, as we burn with pleasure and burn out in time  (More Than Quotes) It is very common... to tell graduates: dream and dream big. I say do more than that. When you dream you are in an unconscious state. It ends. You wake up. It’s not real  (More Than Quotes) More than its utilitarian and technocratic transparency, it is the opaque ambivalence of its oddities that makes the city livable  (More Than Quotes) I force myself to think of anything but the one thing that I’m actually always thinking about. And that is so exhausting that I sleep more than I ever have  (More Than Quotes) If my husband cheated on me and embarrassed me like that, I will embarrass him more than he could ever imagine  (More Than Quotes) It may be that the strongest instinct of the human race, stronger than sex or hunger, is curiosity: the absolute need to know. It can and often does motivate a lifetime, it kills more than cats, and the prospect of satisfying it can be the most exciting of emotions  (More Than Quotes) When we come to an edge we come to a frontier that tells us that we are now about to become more than we have been before  (More Than Quotes) There’s little to see, but things leave an impression. It’s a matter of time and repetition. As something old wears thin or out, something new wears in. The handle on the pump, the crank on the churn, the dipper floating in the bucket, the latch on the screen, the door on the privy, the fender on the stove, the knees of the pants and the seat of the chair, the handle of the brush and the lid to the pot exist in time but outside taste; they wear in more than they wear out. It can’t be helped. It’s neither good nor bad. It’s the nature of life  (More Than Quotes) Nothing primes inspiration more than necessity, whether it be the presence of a copyist waiting for your work or the prodding of an impresario tearing his hair  (More Than Quotes) Maybe heaven entailed more than a soul residing in a single place, but instead having pieces of yourself spread among the hearts and memories of people you’ve touched  (More Than Quotes) A collection of plants is not a landscape, any more than a list of choice words is a poem. The merit is in the design, not the material it is expressed in, and the best designs, like the best poems, make ordinary material significant by its arrangement  (More Than Quotes) Our senses are woefully limited. Our brains are but tiny candles flickering in an infinity of darkness. Our only wisdom is to admit that we cannot understand, and since we cannot understand we must do the best we can with faith. which is our only talent. The greatest act of faith we are capable of is that of loving another more than we love ourselves, and occasionally we can be quite good at it  (More Than Quotes) I think jewelry can change an outfit more than anything else. Transformation, punch, individuality: One or all of the above are why you should wear jewelry  (More Than Quotes) What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become  (More Than Quotes) Given the right circumstances, from no more than dreams, determination, and the liberty to try, quite ordinary people consistently do extraordinary things  (More Than Quotes) I once heard someone say that prayer is more than words. It’s a stance you take, a position you claim. You throw your body against the door to keep the demons from advancing and stay put until they go away  (More Than Quotes) Laughing doesn’t make bad things worse any more than crying makes them better. It doesn’t mean you don’t care, or that you’ve forgotten. It just means you’re human  (More Than Quotes) Any company executive who overcharges the government more than $5 million will be fined $50 or have to go to traffic school three nights a week  (More Than Quotes) Three or four million heads of households don’t turn into tramps and cheats overnight, nor do they lose the habits and standards of a lifetime... They don’t drink any more than the rest of us, they don’t lie any more, they’re no lazier than the rest of us... An eighth or a tenth of the earning population does not change its character which has been generations in the molding, or, if such a change actually occurs, we can scarcely charge it up to personal sin  (More Than Quotes) Clearly as you move to being a public company, probably even more than growth, there is a huge value based on predictability  (More Than Quotes) High blood pressure, cheeriness at breakfast, a mellowing political philosophy, and an inability to drink more than half a bottle of proof spirits at cocktail time without falling over the fire irons all suggest dark wings hovering overhead and the impending midnight croak of the raven  (More Than Quotes) Those gentlemen, who will be elected senators, will fix themselves in the federal town, and become citizens of that town more than of your state  (More Than Quotes) Writing well involves walking the path of most resistance. Sitting still, being patient, allowing the lunatic dream to take shape on the page, then the shaping, the pencil on the page, breathing, slowing down, being willing–no, more than willing, being wide open–to press the bruise until it blossoms  (More Than Quotes) Travel is like a tonic to me. It’s more than just getting away from the studio for a brief rest. I need it to recharge my batteries  (More Than Quotes)
