Vag Quotes

Pity is not natural to man. Children and savages are always cruel. Pity is acquired and improved by the cultivation of reason. We may have uneasy sensations from seeing a creature in distress, without pity; but we have not pity unless we wish to relieve him Picture Quote #1

Things in which we do not take joy are either a burden upon our minds to be got rid of at any cost; or they are useful, and therefore in temporary and partial relation to us, becoming burdensome when their utility is lost; or they are like wandering vagabonds, loitering for a moment on the outskirts of our recognition, and then passing on. A thing is only completely our own when it is a thing of joy to us Picture Quote #1

We cannot separate our lives from time. Why is it that we are so extravagant, so thoughtless, in our waste of time, especially in youth, when we cling so tenaciously to life? You cannot separate a wasted hour from the same duration of your life. If you waste your time, you must waste your life. If you improve your time, you cannot help improving your life Picture Quote #1

One of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all those vague imaginings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem Picture Quote #1

What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing Picture Quote #1

Such are the mass of the supporters of either party. They derive their political opinions originally from some family tradition or some fanciful preference, but they back them with all the passion of sportsmen. In a vague subconscious way they know it is a game, but they happen to enjoy playing the game Picture Quote #1

Rivers are the primal highways of life. From the crack of time, they had borne men’s dreams, and in their lovely rush to elsewhere, fed our wanderlust, mimicked our arteries, and charmed our imaginations in a way the static pond or vast and savage ocean never could Picture Quote #1

From my experience with wild apples, I can understand that there may be reason for a savage’s preferring many kinds of food which the civilized man rejects. The former has the palate of an outdoor man. It takes a savage or wild taste to appreciate a wild fruit Picture Quote #1

Mrs. Jo did not mean the measles, but that more serious malady called love, which is apt to ravage communities, spring and autumn, when winter gayety and summer idleness produce whole bouquets of engagements, and set young people to pairing off like the birds Picture Quote #1

With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination. We build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. Hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed Picture Quote #1

As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented Picture Quote #1

That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were truths and they were all beautiful Picture Quote #1

I think in the corridors of power these dangerous kinds of orders are issued in a much more vague way, passed down two or three levels of command before they’re given to the assassin Picture Quote #1

It’s easy for me to go back to being a kid. You know how kids can be like savages before they get civilized? there’s that sadist quality. Y’know, like boys who like to pick apart an insect for the sake of it Picture Quote #1

I directed the men in our barque to approach near the savages, and hold their arms in readiness to do their duty in case they notice any movement of these people against us Picture Quote #1

And for every project, because it takes years, you can see the early drawings and collages as just a simple, vague idea, and through the years and through the negotiations of getting the permit, you see that every detail is now clarified Picture Quote #1

Japan is the only country in the world to have suffered the ravages of atomic bombing. That experience left an indelible mark on the hearts of our people, making them passionately determined to renounce all wars Picture Quote #1

We have forgotten that we have not come to an empty land to inherit it, but we have come to conquer a country from people inhabiting it, that governs it by the virtue of its language and savage culture Picture Quote #1

I really want to make this the last stop of my career. I don’t want to be a vagabond, so to speak, and be traveling from team to team, year in and year out. I’m not that type of guy. I like to be settled Picture Quote #1

For the novels I wrote before selling anything, I didn’t outline much. I had a vague idea of the story Picture Quote #1

One of the fundamental preconditions of successful socialist construction is to ensure the people’s readiness to defend themselves from the ravages of probable regional or global wars on the basis of the balance of forces generating from the basic contradictions of our epoch Picture Quote #1

The rights to life, liberty and property were not meant to be subject to the vagaries of majority rule Picture Quote #1

We cannot resist against these savages anymore. Please listen to me! Brothers and sisters, I will use the word beg. I beg you. We have to end this for now Picture Quote #1

Among human beings, the subjection of women is much more complete at a certain level of civilization than it is among savages. And the subjection is always reinforced by morality Picture Quote #1

My university education had been a shallow and superficial enterprise. The central driving forces of the economy I lived in were either ignored or left vague, to the point of meaningless Picture Quote #1

In dialectic the student... Will get training in thinking, whereas the best that he gets now is a vague admonition to think for himself Picture Quote #1

Far better an approximate answer to the right question, which is often vague, than an exact answer to the wrong question, which can always be made precise Picture Quote #1

Such religion as there can be in modern life, every individual will have to salvage from the churches for himself Picture Quote #1

He looked at her again, now with the vague abject shyness that older men often have with young women, as though asking their indulgence for no longer being young Picture Quote #1

Be not extravagantly high in expression of thy commendations of men thou likest, it may make the hearer’s stomach rise Picture Quote #1
