Preliminary Quotes

It is not without fear and trembling that a historian of religion approaches the problem of myth. This is not only because of that preliminary embarrassing question: what is intended by myth? It is also because the answers given depend for the most part on the documents selected Picture Quote #1

When I meet a new person, I am on the lookout for signs of what he or she is loyal to. It is a preliminary clue to the sense of belonging, and hence of his or her humanity Picture Quote #1

Doing what you wanted to do was the only training, and the only preliminary, needed for doing more of what you wanted to do Picture Quote #1

War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valor, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline. Any of these, and of others like them, when possessed by a nation, and no matter how generated, will give them a military advantage, and make them more likely to stay in the race of nations Picture Quote #1

It seems thus possible to give a preliminary definition of walking as a space of enunciation Picture Quote #1

Instead of looking on discussion as a stumbling block in the way of action, we think it an indispensable preliminary to any wise action at all Picture Quote #1

It is well to open one’s mind but only as a preliminary to closing it... for the supreme act of judgment and selection Picture Quote #1

It appeared that after first contemplating a book on some subject, and after giving serious preliminary attention to it, I needed a period of subconscious incubation which could not be hurried and was if anything impeded by deliberate thinking... Having, by a time of very intense concentration, planted the problem in my subconsciousness, it would germinate underground until, suddenly, the solution emerged with a blinding clarity, so that it only remained to write down what happened as if in a revelation Picture Quote #1

In my work I’ve never done preliminary drawing, because it’s sometimes difficult to repeat something or to continue when the urgency’s gone Picture Quote #1

My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, for the camera’s eye may entirely change my idea, even switch me to different subject matter. So I start out with my mind as free from image as the silver film on which I am to record, and I hope as sensitive Picture Quote #1

To no circumstance is the wide diffusion of error in the world more owing than to our habit of adopting conclusions from insufficiently established data. An indispensable preliminary, then, in every investigation, is to get at facts. Until these are arrived at, every opinion, theory, or system, however ingeniously framed, must necessarily rest upon an uncertain basis Picture Quote #1
