Sometime in 1964 I realized that I was a victim of a printmaking obsession, a condition that persists today Picture Quote #1

At the beginning of a novel, a writer needs confidence, but after that what’s required is persistence. These traits sound similar. They aren’t. Confidence is what politicians, seducers and currency speculators have, but persistence is a quality found in termites. It’s the blind drive to keep on working that persists after confidence breaks down Picture Quote #1

That human beings seek their own well-being and that of those close to them is not an especially provocative discovery. What is important is that this universal aspect of human nature persists no matter what economic system is in place; it merely expresses itself in different forms Picture Quote #1

Despite all the public hand-wringing about negative advertising, political veterans will tell you that it persists because, more often than not, it works. But tearing down the other guy has another attraction: It can be a substitute for building much of a case for what the mudslinger will do once in office Picture Quote #1

All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That’s what makes theatre live. That’s why it persists Picture Quote #1

The sciences have sworn among themselves an inviolable partnership; it is almost impossible to separate them, for they would rather suffer than be torn apart; and if anyone persists in doing so, he gets for his trouble only imperfect and confused fragments. Yet they do not arrive all together, but they hold each other by the hand so that they follow one another in a natural order which it is dangerous to change, because they refuse to enter in any other way where they are called Picture Quote #1

There are those who say that to know God you must overcome all earthly passions. Yet to understand and accept them is enough. What you resist persists. What you look at disappears Picture Quote #1

Revolutionaries are rarely motivated primarily by material considerations - though the illusion that they are persists in the West Picture Quote #1

The unjust distribution of goods persists, creating a situation of social sin that cries out to Heaven and limits the possibilities of a fuller life for so many of our brothers Picture Quote #1

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man Picture Quote #1

Too much information, and yet, in her case, not enough. In a world of diminishing mystery, the unknown persists Picture Quote #1

Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be Picture Quote #1

Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists Picture Quote #1

Every night he comes with musics of all sorts, and songs composed to her unworthiness. It nothing steads us to chide him from our eaves, for he persists as if his life lay on't Picture Quote #1

If genetic memory or racial memory persists, is it possible that individual memory also exists from previous lives? Picture Quote #1

World War II revealed two of the enduring features of the Keynesian Revolution. One was the moral difference between spending for welfare and spending for war. During the Depression very modest outlays for the unemployed seemed socially debilitating, economically unsound. Now expenditures many times greater for weapons and soldiers were perfectly safe. It's a difference that still persists Picture Quote #1

The gentleman puts me in mind of an old hen which persists in setting after her eggs are taken away Picture Quote #1

We look for medicine to be an orderly field of knowledge and procedure. But it is not. It is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line. There is science in what we do, yes, but also habit, intuition, and sometimes plain old guessing. The gap between what we know and what we aim for persists. And this gap complicates everything we do Picture Quote #1

Life goes on and on after one’s luck has run out. Youthfulness persists, alas, long after one has ceased to be young Picture Quote #1

Over time as most people fail the survivor’s exacting test of trustworthiness, she tends to withdraw from relationships. The isolation of the survivor thus persists even after she is free Picture Quote #1

Worry is the product of feverish imagination working under the stimulus of desires... It is a necessary resultant of attachment to the past or to the anticipated future, and it always persists in some form or other until the mind is completely detached from everything Picture Quote #1

Scientific greatness is less a matter of intelligence than character; if the scientist refuses to compromise or accept incomplete answers and persists in grappling the most basic and difficult questions Picture Quote #1

So it persists, for many of us, hunger channeled into some internal circuitry of longing, routed this way and that, emerging in a thousand different forms. The diet form, the romance form, the addiction form, the overriding hunger for this purchase or that job, this relationship or that one. Hunger may be insatiable by nature, it may be fathomless, but our will to fill it, our often blind tenacity in the face of it, can be extraordinary Picture Quote #1
