Whereas Quotes

When humans act like animals, they become the most dangerous of animals to themselves and other humans, and this is because of another critical difference between humans and animals: Whereas animals are usually restrained by the limits of physical appetites, humans have mental appetites that can be far more gross and capacious than physical ones. Only humans squander and hoard, murder and pillage because of notions Picture Quote #1

To concentrate implies bringing all your energy to focus on a certain point; but thought wanders away... Whereas attention has no control, no concentration. It is complete attention, which means giving all your energy, the energy of the brain, your heart, everything, to attending Picture Quote #1

A biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may well have as many as a thousand Picture Quote #1

Joy, happiness... we do not question. They are beyond question, maybe. A matter of being. But pain forces us to think, and to make connections... to discover what has been happening to cause it. And, curiously enough, pain draws us to other human beings in a significant way, whereas joy or happiness to some extent, isolates Picture Quote #1

Men have always been the victims of trifles, but when they were uncomfortable and passionate, and in constant danger, they hardly had time to notice what the daily texture of their thoughts was in their calm intervals, whereas with us the intervals are all Picture Quote #1

The frequency with which a man experiences lust depends upon his own physical condition, whereas the occasion which rouse such feelings in him depend upon the social conventions to which he is accustomed Picture Quote #1

If we go somewhere on foot, we know the way perfectly, whereas if we go by car or airplane, we are hardly there at all. It becomes merely a dream Picture Quote #1

To be an artist is not about fame; it’s about art, which is this intangible thing that has got to have lots of integrity, whereas being famous doesn’t really take any integrity. But I think you have to admit that you want to be famous, otherwise you can’t be an artist. Art and fame together are like a desire to live forever Picture Quote #1

Literature expresses itself by abstractions, whereas painting, by means of drawing and colour, gives concrete shape to sensations and perceptions Picture Quote #1

It seems obvious that colors vary according to lights, because when any color is placed in the shade, it appears to be different from the same color which is located in light. Shade makes color dark, whereas light makes color bright where it strikes Picture Quote #1

I love bad movies, whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it’s really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well Picture Quote #1

If you look deeply inside them you’ll only see eternity; whereas with most human beings, when you look inside, you’ll see all kinds of different things Picture Quote #1

The best of men choose one thing in preference to all else, immortal glory in preference to mortal good; whereas the masses simply glut themselves like cattle Picture Quote #1

I think that there are excellent and poor thinking habits just as there are healthy and unhealthy eating habits; and when a man really knows how to think, you cannot necessarily assert that he thinks too much in a strictly negative connotation. Perhaps this is in a sense food for thought, whereas the other is fool for thought Picture Quote #1

A rebel adult often seems like a glorious savior, whereas a rebel child often seems like a little devil Picture Quote #1

It is the philosophers, theologians, and evangelists who are said to be filled with pride and bigotry due to the strong convictions that they represent. On the contrary, teachings can be either taken or dismissed; whereas voting is the only thing the average person can do to force everyone to live how they would prefer. A simple vote is among the largest yet most acceptable forms of bigotry, and that is because people play the card only when they feel that in doing so it conveniences themselves Picture Quote #1

That’s the mistake I made, one of the mistakes, to have wanted a story for myself, whereas life alone is enough Picture Quote #1

When the sovereign spirit within us is true to nature, it stands poised and ready to adjust to every change in circumstances and to seize each new opportunity. It doesn’t approach an object with prejudice or preconception, but handles each thing dispassionately before embracing it and, if necessary, finds advantage in what opposes it. It is like fire in this regard. Whereas a feeble flame might suffocate under a pile of dry sticks, a robust fire consumes everything it touches. The more objects of any kind heaped on it, the higher it rises, the hotter it burns Picture Quote #1

Knowledge, surely, is always of time, whereas knowing is not of time. Knowledge is from a source, from accumulation, from conclusion, while knowing is a movement Picture Quote #1

I think humor is warmer, and wit is colder. Wit is judgment, whereas humor invites some sort of response Picture Quote #1

In order to play some sports there’s quite a big cost implication, whereas football is relatively cheap. All you need is a ball and a couple of jumpers to practise Picture Quote #1

The great thing about meditation is that I don’t ask for anything. Whereas when I pray I always ask for things! Picture Quote #1

Innovation needs to be nurtured throughout an organization. Management is doing things right, whereas leadership is doing the right things Picture Quote #1

When you go to a power spot, and you think negative or depressing thoughts they tend to grow stronger. Whereas, if you think more positive, happier thoughts, they tend to increase in strength Picture Quote #1

Whereas I formerly believed it to be my bounden duty to call other persons to order, I now admit that I need calling to order myself Picture Quote #1

Drama is more focused and it reveals itself to you, whereas comedy is just right there, when you first read it Picture Quote #1

One could go on revising a prose page forever whereas there is a point in a poem when one knows it is done forever Picture Quote #1

Whereas the dog strives to lessen the distance between himself and man, seeks ever to be intelligent and intelligible, and translates into looks and actions the words he cannot speak, the cat dwells within the circle of her own secret thoughts Picture Quote #1

I wanted to know more about the young... strange that though they laughed so loud, they so seldom smiled. Perhaps laughter was involuntary whereas smiling was part of an attitude to life Picture Quote #1

Mostly actors are progressive because we are accustomed to all the nuances of human life, whereas dictators just try to flatten it all out. So we usually try to stand up to dictators like, well, we won’t mention names Picture Quote #1
