Text Quotes
Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there  (Peculiar Quotes) I also think he is given to disguises... Sometimes he wears spectacles and sometimes he does not. And twice he has worn an extremely peculiar hat. Inside  (Peculiar Quotes) You’re peculiar, you’re aggravating, yet you’re easy to forgive. You say you’re seventeen?.. How odd. How strange. And my wife thirty and yet you seem so much older at times. I can’t get over it  (Peculiar Quotes) He turned, as he spoke, a peculiar look in her direction, a look of hatred unless he has a most perverse set of facial muscles that will not, like those of other people, interpret the language of his soul  (Peculiar Quotes) Intuition is the art, peculiar to the human mind, of working out the correct answer from data that is, in itself, incomplete or even, perhaps, misleading  (Peculiar Quotes) Ignorance is of a peculiar nature; once dispelled, it is impossible to reestablish it. It is not originally a thing of itself, but is only the absence of knowledge; and though man may be kept ignorant, he cannot be made ignorant  (Peculiar Quotes) The identity that we ascribe to things is only a fictitious one, established by the mind, not a peculiar nature belonging to what we’re talking about  (Peculiar Quotes) In an instant he became aware that the tourist was about to try his own peculiar brand of linguistics, which meant that he would speak loudly and slowly in his own language  (Peculiar Quotes) It is one of the peculiar truths of life that people often say things that they know full well are ridiculous  (Peculiar Quotes) You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people  (Peculiar Quotes) Blushing is the most peculiar and most human of all expressions. Monkeys redden from passion but it would take an overwhelming amount of evidence to make us believe that any animal can blush  (Peculiar Quotes) Nothing is more natural to men in office, than to look with peculiar deference towards that authority to which they owe their official existence  (Peculiar Quotes) It is likewise to be observed that this society hath a peculiar chant and jargon of their own, that no other mortal can understand, and wherein all their laws are written, which they take special care to multiply  (Peculiar Quotes) Each nation has its own peculiar method of work. Some work through politics, some through social reforms, some through other lines. With us, religion is the only ground along which we can move  (Peculiar Quotes) Human reason has the peculiar fate... that it is burdened with questions that it cannot dismiss... but which it also cannot answer  (Peculiar Quotes) The constant desire of pleasing which is the peculiar quality of some, may be called the happiest of all desires in this that it rarely fails of attaining its end when not disgraced by affectation  (Peculiar Quotes) And for this you must have quiet and solitude. But society does not allow you to have them. You must be with people, outwardly active at all costs. If you are alone you are considered antisocial or peculiar, or you are afraid of your own loneliness  (Peculiar Quotes) Each one has a special nature peculiar to himself which he must follow and through which he will find his way to freedom  (Peculiar Quotes) It is one of the peculiar characteristics of the photograph that it isolates single moments in time  (Peculiar Quotes) It had been agreed between them that lighted candles at wayside inns, in strange countries amid mountain scenery, gave the evening meal a peculiar poetry  (Peculiar Quotes) ... the weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which, worthily used, will be a gift also to his race forever  (Peculiar Quotes) Human reason has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questions which, as prescribed by the very nature of reason itself, it is not able to ignore, but which, as transcending all its powers, it is also not able to answer  (Peculiar Quotes) Totalitarianism is never content to rule by external means, namely, through the state and a machinery of violence; thanks to its peculiar ideology and the role assigned to it in this apparatus of coercion, totalitarianism has discovered a means of dominating and terrorizing human beings from within  (Peculiar Quotes) Stories about mental aberration and oddity only make sense in context. Just how do people live with someone who is peculiar, gifted, strange or alien? It’s odd because there’s a little part of me that wants to write about exotic, strange bizarre subjects. Instead, I’ve rather reluctantly realised that what I write about is families  (Peculiar Quotes) Our individuality is all, all, that we have. There are those who barter it for security, those who repress it for what they believe is the betterment of the whole society, but blessed in the twinkle of the morning star is the one who nurtures it and rides it in, in grace and love and wit, from peculiar station to peculiar station along life’s bittersweet route  (Peculiar Quotes) Grief is a most peculiar thing; we’re so helpless in the face of it. It’s like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it  (Peculiar Quotes) When she had gone upstairs, he walked to a window and stood looking up at the sky. His head thrown back, he felt the pull of his throat muscles and he wondered whether the peculiar solemnity of looking at the sky comes, not from what one contemplates, but from that uplift of one’s head  (Peculiar Quotes) A peculiar side of credulity is that it is often joined with a proneness to imposture. The association of believing and lying is not characteristic solely of children. They inability or unwillingness to see things as they are promotes both gullibility and charlatanism  (Peculiar Quotes) None but those who have learned the art of subjecting their senses as well as reason to hypothetical systems can be persuaded by the most specious rhetorician that the lots of life are equal; yet it cannot be denied that every one has his peculiar pleasures and vexations, that external accidents operate variously upon different minds, and that no man can exactly judge from his own sensations what another would feel in the same circumstances  (Peculiar Quotes) We are presented with an unpleasant choice between either committing to peculiar concepts about immaterial deities or letting go entirely of a host of consoling, subtle or just charming rituals for which we struggle to find equivalents in secular society  (Peculiar Quotes)
