Painfully Quotes

America’s great talent, I think, is to generate desires that would never have occurred, natively,... and to make those desires so painfully real that money becomes a fiction, an imaginary means to some concrete end Picture Quote #1

There is nothing I fear so much as idleness, the want of occupation, inactivity, the lethargy of the faculties; when the body is idle, the spirit suffers painfully Picture Quote #1

Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man Picture Quote #1

I definitely rediscovered reading for pleasure by devoting such a large swath of my time to sitting on airplanes. I am now painfully adept at removing my shoes so as to have the least amount of foot surface area touching an airport floor Picture Quote #1

Even while writing his book, he had become painfully aware how little he knew his own planet while attempting to piece together another one from jagged bits filched from deranged brains Picture Quote #1

The smile was so painfully swift and fleeting that it was like the flash of a knife Picture Quote #1

He was painfully shy, which, as is often the manner of the painfully shy, he overcompensated for by being too loud at the wrong times Picture Quote #1

So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship Picture Quote #1

Because the history of evolution is that life escapes all barriers. Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way Picture Quote #1

She stood a moment before my eyes, clearly and painfully, loved and deeply woven into my destiny; then fell away again in a deep oblivion, at a half regretted distance Picture Quote #1

It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored Picture Quote #1

A man is as much affected pleasurably or painfully by the image of a thing past or future as by the image of a thing present Picture Quote #1

We forget just how painfully dim the world was before electricity. A candle, a good candle, provides barely a hundredth of the illumination of a single 100 watt light bulb Picture Quote #1

Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the biggest myth about cynicism is that it deepens with age. I think what really happens is that experience painfully rips away layers of scales from our eyes, and so we do indeed become more cynical about many of the things we naively accepted when younger Picture Quote #1

Little by little things began to assume a new aspect. The sense of insecurity vanished, words came of themselves, I was no longer so painfully conscious of everything I said. I drank on and felt the great soft wave approach and embrace me; the dark hour began to fill with pictures and stealthily the noiseless procession of dreams appeared again superimposed on the dreary, grey landscape of existence Picture Quote #1

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their peers, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change Picture Quote #1

It’s curious and ridiculous how much the gaze of a prudish and painfully chaste man touched by love can sometimes express and that precisely at a moment when the man would of course sooner be glad to fall through the earth than to express anything with a word or a look Picture Quote #1

She was fully, painfully aware that very rarely did midnight strike in two hearts at once, very rarely did midnight arouse two different equal desires, and that any dislocation in this, any indifference, was an indication of disunity, of the difficulties, the impossibilities of fusion between two human beings Picture Quote #1

The storm lashes us, out of the confusion of grey and yellow the hail of splinters whips forth the childlike cries of the wounded, and in the night shattered life groans painfully into silence. Our hands are earth, our bodies clay and our eyes pools of rain. We do not know whether we are still alive Picture Quote #1

If the bible were published as fiction, no reviewer would give it a passing grade. There are some vivid scenes and quotable phrases but there’s no plot, no structure, a tremendous amount of filler and the characters are painfully one dimensional. Whatever you do, don’t read the bible for a moral code. It advocates prejudice, cruelty, superstition and murder. Read it because we need more atheists Picture Quote #1

My overall message for labor members is... That we understand that the benefits of trade are clear, but the disruption and the dislocation are painfully concentrated and we can’t ignore them Picture Quote #1

I think it’s quite painfully obvious when someone’s practicing through an amp, as opposed to someone who’s really laying down some stuff that just happens to be fast Picture Quote #1

So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find some one to worship Picture Quote #1

No one has ever said it, but how painfully true it is that the poor have us always with them Picture Quote #1

But you see, that’s the gilded prison of fashion. We’re riding in private jets, and meantime I was so incredibly, painfully sad and lonely Picture Quote #1

God was executed by people painfully like us, in a society very similar to our own... by a corrupt church, a timid politician, and a fickle proletariat led by professional agitators Picture Quote #1

Nobody wants to know what I’m doing 24 hours a day, they’d be painfully bored, trust me. At the same time, if I’m doing something interesting or funny, I like being able to share that with my fans Picture Quote #1

I think people who do comedy tend to do it well, and to do it painfully and truthfully. So making the leap to drama is easier for them because everything they’ve done is from pain anyway Picture Quote #1

Sloppy Firsts perfectly captures the turbulent roller-coaster ride that is being a teenager. This is an (at times) intimate, painfully honest peek at a girl’s coming of age. Getting to know Jessica was like meeting a new best friend. I miss her already Picture Quote #1
