Rotten Quotes

I have never cared enough about money to worry about spending it, and have been fortunate to make enough to be spoiled rotten Picture Quote #1

As fire does not give birth to snow, so those who seek honor here will not enjoy it in heaven... As those who climb a rotten ladder are in danger, so all honor, glory, and power are opposed to humility Picture Quote #1

International friendly games are not worth the lives of the silk worms who perish to make the pennants. They do not even have the philanthropic excuse that softens the otherwise unendurable tedium of testimonial matches. Quite simply, they are rotten games staged to pick the public’s pocket, tiresome red tape left over from an era when nations and players were still insular and therefore curious about each other’s potential Picture Quote #1

I’d advise all you songwriters out there, if you’re getting into it for the business, go home and get a job digging ditches or something. Get a life. You’ll learn a lot more, and you won’t write a lot of rotten poetry Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to bear it in mind that nobody that ever lived is specially privileged; the axe can fall at any moment, on any neck, without any warning or any regard for justice. You’ve got to keep your mind off pitying your own rotten luck and setting up any kind of a howl about it. You’ve got to remember that things as bad as this and a hell of a lot worse have happened to millions of people before and that they’ve come through it and that you will too Picture Quote #1

Helplessness is such a rotten feeling. There’s nothing you can do about it. Being helpless is like being paralyzed. It’s sickness. The cure calls for a monumental effort to stand up and start walking somewhere, anywhere. But that takes some doing Picture Quote #1

It has long been a theory of mine and I am known, if I do say so, for my long theories that authors, generally speaking, are rotten letter writers Picture Quote #1

I don’t think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down Picture Quote #1

I know that all cops are not sterling characters. But you have to have someone to root for. I balance it with rotten cops who will take a bribe, who will beat somebody up Picture Quote #1

Nothing in these abstract economic models actually works in the real world. It doesn’t matter how many footnotes they put in, or how many ways they tinker around the edges. The whole enterprise is totally rotten at the core: it has no relation to reality Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that our problem has a lot less to do with the mechanics of solar power than the politics of human power-specifically whether there can be a shift in who wields it, a shift away from corporations and toward communities, which in turn depends on whether or not the great many people who are getting a rotten deal under our current system can build a determined and diverse enough social force to change the balance of power Picture Quote #1

Writing poetry, we live among the wild beasts, and when we touch a man, the stuff of someone in whom we believed, and he goes to pieces like a rotten pie, you... gather together whatever can be salvaged, while I cup my hands around the live coal of life Picture Quote #1

Men are like chestnuts they sell in the street: they’re all hot and they all smell good when you buy them, but when you take them out of the paper cone you realise that most of them are rotten inside Picture Quote #1

Nobody’s born rotten. You just don’t have bad kids. It’s not true. There is no such thing. But we can make them bad Picture Quote #1

We reject certain food because it is rotten. Certain food we can see is fresh. But there is this creative space between fresh food and rotten food where most of human culture’s most prized delicacies and culinary achievements exist Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to be able to lay eggs to know when one of them is rotten Picture Quote #1

There is nothing funny about aging: It is rotten and depressing. Anyone who tells you otherwise just hasn’t been paying attention Picture Quote #1

Bourgeois existence is the regime of private affairs... and the family is the rotten, dismal edifice in whose closets and crannies the most ignominious instincts are deposited. Mundane life proclaims the total subjugation of eroticism to privacy Picture Quote #1

Not literature alone, but society itself is wormed and rotten when language ceases to be respected not merely by advertisers and politicians, but by persons of learning and authority Picture Quote #1

It’s no surprise to me that intellectuals commit suicide, go mad or die from drink. We feel things more than other people. We know the world is rotten and that chins are ruined by spots Picture Quote #1

I’m a really rotten liar. Generally, if I’ve tried to pull off a lie, it hasn’t worked out to my advantage Picture Quote #1

Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo, and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part Picture Quote #1

I was a rotten kid. My excitement came from seeing what I could get away with Picture Quote #1

If our web be framed with rotten handles, when our loom is well nigh done, our work is new to begin. God send the weaver true prentices again, and let them be denizens Picture Quote #1

There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery Picture Quote #1

To assault the total culture totally is to be free to use all the fruits of mankind’s wisdom and experience without the rotten structure in which these glories are encased and encrusted Picture Quote #1

Long enough I had heard of irrelevant things; now at length I was glad to make acquaintance with the light that dwells in rotten wood. Where is all your knowledge gone to? It evaporates completely, for it has no depth Picture Quote #1

There is a tendency in things to right themselves, and the war or revolution or bankruptcy that shatters rotten system, allows things to take a new and natural order Picture Quote #1

Women who are not living ought to spend all their time cracking jokes. In a rotten society women grow witty; making a heaven while they wait Picture Quote #1
