Text Quotes
Only man is not content to leave things as they are but must always be changing them, and when he has done so, is seldom satisfied with the result  (Seldom Quotes) In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal  (Seldom Quotes) I have seldom known a person who deserted the truth in trifles and then could be trusted in matters of importance  (Seldom Quotes) The pessimist is seldom an agitating individual. His creed breeds indifference to others, and he does not trouble himself to thrust his views upon the unconvinced  (Seldom Quotes) Paradoxically one of the greatest advantages of mind maps is that they are seldom needed again. The very act of constructing a map is itself so effective in fixing ideas in memory that very often a whole map can recalled without going back to it at all. A mind map is so strongly visual and uses so many of the natural functions of memory that frequently it can be simply read off in the mind’s eye  (Seldom Quotes) Mankind in the gross is a gaping monster, that loves to be deceived and has seldom been disappointed  (Seldom Quotes) I seldom deal in symbolisms; if there be hidden meanings in my verse, they are there without my knowledge  (Seldom Quotes) Much of a poet’s experience takes place in imagination only; the life he tells is oftenest the life that he strongly desires to live, and the power, the purity and height of his utterance may not seldom be the greater because experience here uses the voices of desire  (Seldom Quotes) True stories seldom have endings. I don’t want a happy ending, I want more story  (Seldom Quotes) We’re all born strangers to ourselves and each other, and we’re seldom formally introduced  (Seldom Quotes) We never know the quality of someone else’s life, though we seldom resist the temptation to assume and pass judgement  (Seldom Quotes) When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal  (Seldom Quotes) It is our inward journey that leads us through time – forward or back, seldom in a straight line, most often spiraling. Each of us is moving, changing, with respect to others. As we discover, we remember; remembering, we discover; and most intensely do we experience this when our separate journeys converge. Our living experience at those meeting points is one of the charged dramatic fields of fiction  (Seldom Quotes) Power brings a man many luxuries, but a clean pair of hands is seldom among them  (Seldom Quotes) I believe in our side and theirs, with the good and evil decided after the fact, by those who survive. Among men you seldom find the good with one standard and the shadow with another  (Seldom Quotes) From a tale one expects a bit of wildness, of exaggeration and dramatic effect. The tale has no inherent concern with decorum, balance or harmony... A tale may not display a great deal of structural, psychological, or narrative sophistication, though it might possess all three, but it seldom takes its eye off its primary goal, the creation of a particular emotional state in its reader. Depending on the tale, that state could be wonder, amazement, shock, terror, anger, anxiety, melancholia, or the momentary frisson of horror  (Seldom Quotes) Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive  (Seldom Quotes) So it is that we can seldom help anybody. Either we don’t know what part to give or maybe we don’t like to give any part of ourselves. Then, more often than not, the part that is needed is not wanted. And even more often, we do not have the part that is needed  (Seldom Quotes) Happiness of heart can never be measured out and bundled up, it’s intangible. We keep running after it, grasping for it, and the heat of our running so seldom brings it closer. But now and then there may be a moment. We look at something and know it is good and beautiful. Those moments are happiness  (Seldom Quotes) One wants to move through life with elegance and grace, blossoming infrequently but with exquisite taste, and perfect timing, like a rare bloom, a zebra orchid... One wants... But one so seldom gets what one wants, does one?  (Seldom Quotes) Unused to the situations in which I find myself, and embarassed by the slightest difficulties, I seldom discover, till too late, how I ought to act  (Seldom Quotes) On calm days, you always think you’ve conquered them. You think that in the end you’ve finally done them in. That you’ve got rid of them for good, now and forever. But that seldom happens. Most of the time, the demons are still there, lurking somewhere in the shadows. Tirelessly waiting for the moment when our guard drops. And when love goes away  (Seldom Quotes) Most of us are experts at solving other people’s problems, but we generally solve them in terms of our own and the advice we give is seldom for other people but for ourselves  (Seldom Quotes) We learn by reflecting on what has happened. The process seldom works in reverse, although most educational processes assume that it does. We hope that we can teach people how to live before they live, or how to manage before they manage  (Seldom Quotes) Seldom was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment  (Seldom Quotes) The teacher can seldom afford to miss the questions: What is the unknown? What are the data? What is the condition? The student should consider the principal parts of the problem attentively, repeatedly, and from from various sides  (Seldom Quotes) I seldom read on beaches or in gardens. You can’t read by two lights at once, the light of day and the light of the book. You should read by electric light, the room in shadow, and only the page lit up  (Seldom Quotes) Great inventions are never, and great discoveries are seldom, the work of any one mind. Every great invention is really an aggregation of minor inventions, or the final step of a progression. It is not usually a creation, but a growth, as truly so as is the growth of the trees in the forest  (Seldom Quotes) When you fall in love with golf, you seldom fall easy. It?s obsession at first sight  (Seldom Quotes) Loners, if you catch them, are well worth the trouble. Not dulled by excess human contact, nor blasé or focused on your crotch while jabbering about themselves, loners are curious, vigilant, full of surprises. They do not cling. Separate wherever they go, awake or asleep, they shimmer with the iridescence of hidden things seldom seen  (Seldom Quotes)
