Old One Quotes

Newish friends, if they get ghastly, can be weighed and found wanting, but you’d never do a thing like that to old ones; their terrible habits are just part of the universe Picture Quote #1

New ideas are difficult just because they are new. Repetition has somehow plastered over the gaps and inconsistencies in the old ones, and the new cannot penetrate Picture Quote #1

We’re not responsible for the bustling and hustling that may go on here. Lots of people bustle, and some hustle. But that’s their business, and a very old one Picture Quote #1

Surely one advantage of traveling is that, while it removes much prejudice against foreigners and their customs, it intensifies tenfold one’s appreciation of the good at home Picture Quote #1

You can always tell an old soldier by the inside of his holsters and cartridge boxes. The young ones carry pistols and cartridges; the old ones, grub Picture Quote #1

Do people conform to the instructions of us old ones? Each thinks he must know best about himself, and thus many are lost entirely Picture Quote #1

Everything rational and sensible abandons me when I try to throw out photographs. Time and time again, I hold one over a wastebasket, and then find it impossible to release my fingers and let the picture drop and disappear Picture Quote #1

If my mom told one more story about how cute I looked in the bathtub when I was three years old I was going to burrow into the snow and freeze myself to death Picture Quote #1

Sometimes artist like to catch themselves looking out, let the world see them for once. It’s a signature. This one is a very bold one. But this is also a witnessing. We want to remember, and we want to be remembered. That’s why we paint Picture Quote #1

Flowers that grow where old ones have withered serve to remind us that death will one day come to us all Picture Quote #1

... as it turned out, growing up was just as she’d feared. One day when your alarm clock rang, you got up and realized you had someone else’s thoughts in your head... or may be just your old ones, minus the hope Picture Quote #1

The secret was such an old one now, had so grown into me and become a part of myself, that I could not tear it away Picture Quote #1

The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds Picture Quote #1

History teaches that a race of people is best preserved where the greater number hold one common spirit in consequence of the similarity of their accustomed and indisputable principles Picture Quote #1

One must not hold one’s self so divine as to be unwilling occasionally to make improvements in one’s creations Picture Quote #1

What counts alone is the innovator, the dissenter, the harbinger of things unheard of, the man who rejects the traditional standards and aims at substituting new values and ideas for old ones Picture Quote #1

A new medium is never an addition to an old one, nor does it leave the old one in peace. It never ceases to oppress the older media until it finds new shapes and positions for them Picture Quote #1

Now in creative thought common sense is a bad master. Its sole criterion for judgement is that the new ideas shall look like the old ones. In other words it can only work by suppressing originality Picture Quote #1

I’d rather hold one note for an hour and modulate it so that it means something than play 3,000 notes in 15 seconds Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to develop mental strength. And you develop mental strength with the will. The will is the mental faculty that gives you the ability to hold one idea under the screen of your mind to the exclusion of all outside distractions Picture Quote #1

The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance. It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down Picture Quote #1

There is a good saying to the effect that when a new book appears one should read an old one. As as author I would not recommend too strict an adherence to this saying Picture Quote #1

Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth Picture Quote #1

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore Picture Quote #1

The body of science is not, as it is sometimes thought, a huge coherent mass of facts, neatly arranged in sequence, each one attached to the next by a logical string. In truth, whenever we discover a new fact it involves the elimination of old ones. We are always, as it turns out, fundamentally in error Picture Quote #1

When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off Picture Quote #1

When I came up, there was room for the new and the old. For every new artist, an old one didn’t have to be pushed out Picture Quote #1

Actually, I began to think that maybe there is a God, after all. Or maybe it’s a different one. The old one got fired Picture Quote #1

The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one Picture Quote #1

For all my criticisms of the current system, it doesn’t mean that I would like to return to the old one Picture Quote #1
