Trivial Quotes

There is an insistent tendency among serious social scientists to think of any institution which features rhymed and singing commercials, intense and lachrymose voices urging highly improbable enjoyment, caricatures of the human esophagus in normal and impaired operation, and which hints implausibly at opportunities for antiseptic seduction as inherently trivial. This is a great mistake. The industrial system is profoundly dependent on commercial television and could not exist in it's present form without it Picture Quote #1

For it is not merely the trivial which clutters our lives but the important as well Picture Quote #1

To play Trivial Pursuit with a life like mine could be said to be a form of homeopathy Picture Quote #1

Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities in life. It helps you to live a less trivial life Picture Quote #1

What is truly profound is thought to be stupid and trivial, or worse, boring, while what is actually stupid and trivial is thought to be profound. That is what it means to fly upside down Picture Quote #1

The instant trivial as it is is all we have unless - unless things the imagination feeds upon, the scent of the rose, startle us anew Picture Quote #1

Oh man. If I had magic powers... I would hope that I would use them for good. I think I would. But I would do something pretty trivial like making traffic disappear Picture Quote #1

Politics is the diversion of trivial men who, when they succeed at it, become important in the eyes of more trivial men Picture Quote #1

There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true Picture Quote #1

When you are in deep conflict about something, sometimes the most trivial thing can tip the scales Picture Quote #1

It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory, resulting in a very great theoretical development, are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system Picture Quote #1

To demonstrate this simultaneity is by no means trivial, because it may for example happen that the product nucleus always forms in an activated state at first Picture Quote #1

Occasionally, I would focus on a particular school project and become obsessed with, what seemed to my mother, to be trivial details instead of apportioning the time I spent on school work in a more efficient way Picture Quote #1

When a philosopher says something that is true then it is trivial. When he says something that is not trivial then it is false Picture Quote #1

The search for the symbolic value of phonemes, each taken as a whole, runs the risk of giving rise to ambiguous and trivial interpretations because phonemes are complex entities, bundles of different distinctive features Picture Quote #1

Giving parties is a trivial avocation, but it pays the dues for my union card in humanity Picture Quote #1

No sociologist should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time Picture Quote #1

Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them? Picture Quote #1

There are people who are excitable by nature and allow themselves to become angry for the most trivial of reasons. Judo can help such people learn to control themselves. Through training, they quickly realize that anger is a waste of energy, that it has only negative effects on the self and others Picture Quote #1

Always write your ideas down however silly or trivial they might seem. Keep a notebook with you at all times Picture Quote #1

We must eschew anything trivial. We must embrace all that is frivolous... Trivial things take up all your time and dull your senses, whereas frivolity is meaningful, profound, worth living and dying for... If we devote our lives to frivolity, the world will be a far, far better place. Humanity will be better able to fulfill its primary goal, that of having a good time Picture Quote #1

The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things... the trivial pleasure like cooking, one’s home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard Picture Quote #1

Create dangerously, for people who read dangerously... Writing, knowing in part that no matter how trivial your words may seem, someday, somewhere, someone may risk his or her life to read them Picture Quote #1

It is ironic to think that man might determine his own future by something so seemingly trivial as the choice of an insect spray Picture Quote #1

When all of life becomes crowded with profound and weighty matters, making time to engage in trivial things becomes an even greater priority Picture Quote #1

... by and by a change came: I started to muse about the shape of my nose. I put my trivial surroundings aside and mused more and more about myself, and I found this to be a bewitching occupation. I stopped asking and longed instead to speak of my thoughts and feelings. Alas, there was no one besides myself who found me interesting Picture Quote #1

Human beings are naturally flawed when it comes to time and memory. The past is forgotten, or it is believed bad things will not recur, and people become bound in their current problems. That which afflicted the grandfathers of their grandfathers is a distant, dim thing, and not as important as present concerns, no matter how trivial Picture Quote #1

And somewhat as in blind night, on a mild sea, a sailor may be made aware of an iceberg, fanged and mortal, bearing invisibly near, by the unwarned charm of its breath, nothingness now revealed itself: that permanent night upon which the stars in their expiring generations are less than the glinting of gnats, and nebulae, more trivial than winter breath; that darkness in which eternity lies bent and pale, a dead snake in a jar, and infinity is the sparkling of a wren blown out to sea; that inconceivable chasm of invulnerable silence in which cataclysms of galaxies rave mute as amber Picture Quote #1

In our daily lives, where we’re bombarded by the fake and the trivial, reading serves as a way to stop, shut out the noise of the world, and try to grab hold of something real, no matter how small Picture Quote #1
