Sought Quotes

Protectionism, socialism, all varieties of state favoritism and restrictions on competition, and the growth of bureaucracy and jobbery were the means by which special interests sought to exploit the public, the great mass of consumers and taxpayers Picture Quote #1

I sought to reform minstrelsy among refined people by making words suitable to their taste, instead of the trashy and really offensive words which belong to some songs of that order... Some of my songs should be performed in a pathetic, not a comic style Picture Quote #1

Gold is where you find it, according to an old adage, but judging from the record of our experience, oil must be sought first of all in our minds Picture Quote #1

Literature professes to be important while at the same time considering itself an object of doubt. It confirms itself as it disparages itself. It seeks itself: this is more than it has a right to do, because literature may be one of those things which deserve to be found but not to be sought Picture Quote #1

I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see, I sought my God, but my God eluded me; And then I sought my sisters and my brothers, and in them I found all three Picture Quote #1

Control is never achieved when sought after directly; it is the surprising result of letting go Picture Quote #1

Love, sought as an escape from the burden of the self, turns rapidly into a captivity Picture Quote #1

All cities are geological; you cannot take three steps without encountering ghosts bearing all the prestige of their legends. We move within a closed landscape whose landmarks constantly draw us toward the past. Certain shifting angles, certain receding perspectives, allow us to glimpse original conceptions of space, but this vision remains fragmentary. It must be sought in the magical locales of fairy tales and surrealist writings: castles, endless walls, little forgotten bars, mammoth caverns, casino mirrors Picture Quote #1

I have never sought out the extraordinary or the scoop. I looked at what complemented my life. The beauty of the ordinary was always the source of my greatest emotions Picture Quote #1

And even when success comes, as I am sure it will, bear in mind that there are more quiet and enviable joys than to be among the most sought after women at a ball Picture Quote #1

Ireland that has wronged no man, that has injured no land, that has sought no dominion over others. Ireland is treated today among other nations of the world as if she was a convicted criminal. If it be treason to fight against such an unnatural fate as this, then I am proud to be a rebel and shall cling to my rebellion with the last drop of my blood Picture Quote #1

Happiness is so nonsynonymous with joy or pleasure that it is not infrequently sought and felt in grief and deprivation Picture Quote #1

Many psychologists... thought by turning their attention to their own consciousness to be able to explain what happened when we were thnking. Or they sought to attain the same end by asking another person a question, by means of which certain processes of thought would be excited, and then by questioning the person about the introspection he had made. It is obvious... that nothing can be discovered in such experiments Picture Quote #1

Advice is unfriendly to learning, especially when it is sought. Most of the time when people seek advice, they just want to be heard. Advice at best stops the conversation, definitely inhibits learning, and at worst claims dominance Picture Quote #1

False gods must be repudiated, but that is not all: The reasons for their existence must be sought beneath their masks Picture Quote #1

I have not attempted to try to relive or recreate the past; but I have sought guidance from those timeless elements in the past which remain valid and vital to the future... The purpose of my art is to seek beauty and truth, and to explore and glorify the human being and the universe Picture Quote #1

Subject matter must be normal in the sense that it does not appear sought after so much as simply happening to one Picture Quote #1

To the desert go profits and hermits, through deserts go pilgrims and exiles. Here the leaders of the great religions have sought the therapeutic and spiritual values of retreat, not to escape but to find reality Picture Quote #1

I have always been reconciled to the fact that I was born a bibliomaniac, never have I sought a cure, and my dearest friends have been drawn from those likewise suffering from book madness Picture Quote #1

The more I sought truth uncorrupted by years of religious history, the more I kept finding answers I didn’t want to find. Emotionally, it would have been easiest for me to just hold on to what I grew up believing, but mentally that wasn’t an option anymore Picture Quote #1

... with a rush of feeling he felt that this must be happiness. As soon as the thought came to him, he fought it back, blaming the whiskey. The very idea was as dangerous as presumptive speech: happiness could not be sought or worried into being, or even fully grasped; it should be allowed its own slow pace so that it passes unnoticed, if it ever comes at all Picture Quote #1

Is it acting a true vocation?... I say it is a gift... And fame? Neither sought nor expected... still confounds and amazes and disturbs. Whatever the reason... I am so very delighted that it did happen... I would not have missed it for the world Picture Quote #1

God wishes to be seen, wishes to be sought, wishes to be expected, and wishes to be trusted Picture Quote #1

There is but one straight road to success, and that is merit. The man who is successful is the man who is useful. Capacity never lacks opportunity. It can not remain undiscovered, because it is sought by too many anxious to use it Picture Quote #1

Showing a greater fondness for their own opinions than for truth, they sought to deny and disprove the new things which, if they had cared to look for themselves, their own senses would have demonstrated to them Picture Quote #1

The thing which we speak of as beauty does not have to be sought in distant lands... It is here about us or it is nowhere Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent the last 50 years or so steeping myself in the world’s religions, and I’ve done my homework. I’ve gone to each of the world’s eight great religions and sought out the most profound scholars I could find, and I’ve apprenticed myself to them and actually practiced each faith Picture Quote #1

I was an only child for 16 years. I didn’t realize it at the time, but that experience definitely turned me into a people pleaser. I always tried to do what was expected of me, and I constantly sought reassurance from the adults around me that I was doing a good job Picture Quote #1

You know, a lot of actors I think go into acting for therapy from whatever trauma has affected them as children. But for me, I think I sought out the drama. That’s why I like doing what I do Picture Quote #1

Academic achievement was something I’d always sought as a form of reward. Good grades pleased my parents, good grades pleased my teachers; you got them in order to sew up approval Picture Quote #1
