Text Quotes
There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years  (Pe Quotes) To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies  (Pe Quotes) When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless  (Pe Quotes) Trees were so rare in that country, and they had to make such a hard fight to grow, that we used to feel anxious about them, and visit them as if they were persons. It must have been the scarcity of detail in that tawny landscape that made detail so precious  (Pe Quotes) He had the uneasy manner of a man who is not among his own kind, and who has not seen enough of the world to feel that all people are in some sense his own kind  (Pe Quotes) Alcohol is perfectly consistent in its effects upon man. Drunkenness is merely an exaggeration. A foolish man drunk becomes maudlin; a bloody man, vicious; a coarse man, vulgar  (Pe Quotes) We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it, for a little while  (Pe Quotes) Nothing is far and nothing is near, if one desires. The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing: desire  (Pe Quotes) The qualities of a second rate writer can easily be defined, but a first rate writer can only be experienced. It is just the thing in him which escapes analysis that makes him first rate  (Pe Quotes) People can be lovers and enemies at the same time, you know. We were... A man and woman draw apart from that long embrace, and see what they have done to each other... In age we lose everything; even the power to love  (Pe Quotes) The world is always full of brilliant youth which fades into grey and embittered middle age: the first flowering takes everything. The great men are those who have developed slowly, or who have been able to survive the glamour of their early florescence and to go on learning from life  (Pe Quotes) Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all; for the desire dieth when it is attained, and the affection perisheth when it is satisfied  (Pe Quotes) Flatterers are the worst kind of traitors, for they will strengthen thy imperfections, encourage thee in all evils, correct thee in nothing, but so shadow and paint thy follies and vices as thou shalt never, by their will, discover good from evil, or vice from virtue  (Pe Quotes) Because all men are apt to flatter themselves, to entertain the addition of other men's praises is most perilous  (Pe Quotes) No one can take less pains than to hold his tongue. Hear much, and speak little; for the tongue is the instrument of the greatest good and greatest evil that is done in the world  (Pe Quotes) Take special care that thou never trust any friend or servant with any matter that may endanger thine estate; for so shalt thou make thyself a bond slave to him that thou trustest, and leave thyself always to his mercy  (Pe Quotes) The gain of lying is nothing else but not to be trusted of any, nor to be believed when we speak the truth  (Pe Quotes) The devil tempts men through their ambition, their cupidity, or their appetite, until he comes to the profane swearer, whom he clutches without any reward  (Pe Quotes) Perhaps I do not know what I was made for; but one thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master  (Pe Quotes) Let there be an entire abstinence from intoxicating drinks throughout this country during the period of a single generation, and a mob would be as impossible as combustion without oxygen  (Pe Quotes) Reproof is a medicine like mercury or opium; if it be improperly administered, it will do harm instead of good  (Pe Quotes) As an apple is not in any proper sense an apple, until it is ripe, so a human being is not in any proper sense a human being until he is educated  (Pe Quotes) Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women it is merely a good excuse not to play football  (Pe Quotes) Money... buys privacy, silence. The less money you have, the noisier it is; the thinner your walls, the closer your neighbors... The first thing you notice when you step into the house or apartment of a rich person is how quiet it is  (Pe Quotes) Let the public mind become corrupt, and all efforts to secure property, liberty, or life by the force of laws written on paper will be as vain as putting up a sign in an apple orchard to exclude canker worms  (Pe Quotes) Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas  (Pe Quotes) The religious is any activity pursued in behalf of an ideal end against obstacles and in spite of threats of personal loss because of its general and enduring value  (Pe Quotes) Our firmest convictions are apt to be the most suspect, they mark our limitations and our bounds. Life is a petty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries  (Pe Quotes) This leads us to note down in our psychological chart of the mass man of today two fundamental traits: the free expansion of his vital desires, and, therefore, of his personality; and his radical ingratitude towards all that has made possible the ease of his existence. These traits together make up the well known psychology of the spoilt child  (Pe Quotes) Minorities are individual or groups of individuals especially qualified. The masses are the collection of people not specially qualified  (Pe Quotes)
