Text Quotes
The genius writer was correct. In obtaining freedom, man suddenly understands that he has shouldered a heavy burden, because freedom involves responsibility. A person must make decisions himself and himself answer for them (Urd Quotes)
I have at all times tried to use my influence toward protecting the property holders and substantial men of the country from thieves, outlaws and murderers, among whom I do not care to be classed (Urd Quotes)
The king, which during the opening and middlegame stage is often a burden because it has to be defended, becomes in the endgame a very important and aggressive piece, and the beginner should realize this, and utilize his king as much as possible (Urd Quotes)
The thing that keeps you scrambling over the rocks, risking snakes, and swatting at the flies is the view. It is only your enjoyment of and commitment to what you see, not to what you rationally understand, that balances the otherwise absurd investment of labor (Urd Quotes)
If we believe that murder is wrong and not admissible in our society, then it has to be wrong for everyone, not just individuals but governments as well (Urd Quotes)
It should be clear that the death penalty does just the opposite of promoting decency and respect for life. It dehumanizes people and promotes murder. It can never be applied fairly (Urd Quotes)
It is said to be a deterrent. I cannot agree... I do not now believe that any one of the hundreds of executions I carried out has in any way acted as a deterrent against future murder. Capital punishment, in my view, achieved nothing except revenge (Urd Quotes)
The death penalty is no more effective a deterrent than life imprisonment... It is also evident that the burden of capital punishment falls upon the poor, the ignorant and the underprivileged members of society (Urd Quotes)
It is a logical absurdity to equate democracy with freedom in the way that mainstream political philosophers and commentators typically do. A system where individuals and minorities are at the mercy of unconstrained majorities hardly constitutes freedom in any meaningful sense (Urd Quotes)
... the institutional arrangement whereby most professional economists are heavily burdened with teaching and administrative duties may militate against a sufficient admixture of the more laborious forms of statistical and field work (Urd Quotes)
Each thing tends to move towards its own nature. I always desire happiness which is my true nature. My nature is never a burden to me. Happiness is never a burden to me, whilst sorrow is (Urd Quotes)
The slanderer and the assassin differ only in the weapon they use; with the one it is the dagger, with the other the tongue. The former is worse that the latter, for the last only kills the body, while the other murders the reputation (Urd Quotes)
Philosophy should always know that indifference is a militant thing. It batters down the walls of cities and murders the women and children amid the flames and the purloining of altar vessels. When it goes away it leaves smoking ruins, where lie citizens bayonetted through the throat. It is not a children’s pastime like mere highway robbery (Urd Quotes)
... life is moral responsibility. Life is several other things, we do not deny. It is beauty, it is joy, it is tragedy, it is comedy, it is psychical and physical pleasure, it is the interplay of a thousand rude or delicate motions and emotions, it is the grimmest and the merriest motley of phantasmagoria that could appeal to the gravest or the maddest brush ever put to palette; but it is steadily and sturdily and always moral responsibility (Urd Quotes)
When you’re home or you’re working, your mind just isn’t allowed to just roll on like it does when you’re watching the scenery go by. You’re hurdling through space but you’re not really moving... It’s that dreaminess, that ability to just get dreamy while you’re looking out the window and you see something... and it makes you think of something else, and all of a sudden the words are just flowing out of you (Urd Quotes)
Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception (Urd Quotes)
When I tried to imagine being beautiful, I could only imagine living without the perpetual fear of being alone, without the great burden of isolation, which is what feeling ugly felt like (Urd Quotes)
Nobody’s ever been arrested for a murder; they have only ever been arrested for not planning it properly (Urd Quotes)
The problem is that censors create the concept of obscenity. By supposedly trying to protect us they form an absurd concept of what is obscene (Urd Quotes)
Animals are sentient creatures. I love them very much. I do not feel that we have the right to torture, murder, and abuse them for our own disgusting dietary and fashion wants and needs (Urd Quotes)
Great fear, conformity, immorality: these are heavy burdens. They drain us of creative energy. And when we are drained of creative energy, we do not create. We procreate, but we do not create (Urd Quotes)
You live in the present and you eliminate things that don’t matter. You don’t carry the burden of the past. I’m not impressed by the past very much. The past bores me, to tell you the truth; it really bores me. I don’t remember many movies and certainly not my own (Urd Quotes)
Mr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes (Urd Quotes)
All murder is a tragedy but when journalists are killed, public debate loses a voice that can provide an important contribution to democracy. It is essential that governments do all they can to ensure safe conditions for journalists to carry out their work (Urd Quotes)
Physics advances by accepting absurdities. Its history is one of unbelievable ideas proving to be true (Urd Quotes)
If you aren’t hearing your inner voice, it could mean you’re overburdened or not stimulated enough, or that you’ve learned to shut it off because the people around you have refused to engage it. Perhaps you’ve had a hardening of the arteries around your soul. I believe the choices we make in our lives and the people and places surrounding us increase the volume of our inner voice, decrease it, or annihilate it entirely (Urd Quotes)
It’s a burden trying to keep a secret. It’s hard. It probably takes more out of you trying to hold it and keep it than it does for you to really let it out (Urd Quotes)
I think good comedy is a commitment to the absurd in that the situation for the actors should be virtually played like a drama (Urd Quotes)
Man is able to do what he is unable to imagine. His head trails a wake through the galaxy of the absurd (Urd Quotes)
We all have an interest, and a duty to future generations, to ensure that the benefits of mobility that we now take for granted, do not place an intolerable burden on our environment (Urd Quotes)
