Text Quotes
An important aspect of nonconformity was its cult of the bible as the fount of all wisdom. But the bible takes much of its color from whoever is reading it, and it provides a text to support almost every shade of opinion, however preposterous (Who Quotes)
To ask an author who hopes to be a serious writer if his work is autobiographical is like asking a spider where he buys his thread. The spider gets his thread right out of his own guts, and that is where the author gets his writing (Who Quotes)
We need new friends; some of us are cannibals who have eaten their old friends up; others must have ever-renewed audiences before whom to re-enact the ideal version of their lives (Who Quotes)
When I tell any truth it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it but for the sake of defending those who do (Who Quotes)
That we should practice what we preach is generally admitted; but anyone who preaches what he and his hearers practice must incur the gravest moral disapprobation (Who Quotes)
Those who talk on the razor edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side (Who Quotes)
How sweet I roamed from field to field, and tasted all the summer's pride, till I the prince of love beheld, who in the sunny beams did glide! (Who Quotes)
The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum (Who Quotes)
The professor who lectured on Shakespeare seemed to be entrapped in a grotesque, retrospective love affair with every one of Shakespeare's heroines. I think he even had a feeling that he could have made a respectable faculty wife out of Lady Macbeth (Who Quotes)
It is only the great men who are truly obscene. If they had not dared to be obscene, they could never have dared to be great (Who Quotes)
Little lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life and bid thee feed by the stream and o'er the mead; gave thee clothing of delight, softest clothing, woolly bright (Who Quotes)
The clerisy are those who read for pleasure, but not for idleness; who read for pastime but not to kill time; who love books, but do not live by books (Who Quotes)
Foolish people laugh at those readers a century ago who wept over the novels of dickens. Is it a sign of superior intellect to read anything and everything unmoved, in a grey, unfeeling limbo? (Who Quotes)
The omnipresent process of sex, as it is woven into the whole texture of our man's or woman's body, is the pattern of all the process of our life (Who Quotes)
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? (Who Quotes)
It is not as though do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law was a precept from which splendid fiction could not be drawn; it is rather that what these small-time rebels choose to do is so trivial, so cheap, and in the end, so dreary (Who Quotes)
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place and governs the unwilling (Who Quotes)
It is the little writer rather than the great writer who seems never to quote, and the reason is that he is never really doing anything else (Who Quotes)
Those persons who are burning to display heroism may rest assured that the course of social evolution will offer them every opportunity (Who Quotes)
There are great numbers of people to whom the act of reading a book - any sort of book - is wondrous; they speak of the reader in the tone of warm approbation which they use otherwise when referring to pregnant women, or the newly dead (Who Quotes)
And how often do we meet the man who prefaces his remarks with: I was reading a book last night... In the too loud, overenunciated fashion of one who might be saying: I keep a hippogryph in my basement. Reading confers status (Who Quotes)
The true realist is he who believes in both God and the Devil, and is prepared to attempt, with humility, to sort out some corner of the extraordinary tangle of their works which is our world. He cannot use his feeling alone, he must use his intellect (Who Quotes)
Hear the voice of the bard, who present, past, and future, sees; whose ears have heard the holy word that walked among the ancient trees (Who Quotes)
Don't ask me who's influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he's digested, and I've been reading all my life (Who Quotes)
I have against me the bourgeois, the military and the diplomats, and for me, only the people who take the Metro (Who Quotes)
I think we're living in an age which despises humanity and despises bravery and doesn't need bravery because modern warfare has rather gone beyond bravery. It is a kind of warfare where people are fighting enemies they never see, killing people of whom they know nothing (Who Quotes)
When the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the lamb make thee? (Who Quotes)
The leader must aim high, see big, judge widely, thus setting himself apart form the ordinary people who debate in narrow confines (Who Quotes)
I have known far too many university graduates, in this country and in my own, who, as soon as they have received the diploma which declares them to be of Certified Intelligence, put their brains in cold storage and never use them again until they are hauled away to the mortuary (Who Quotes)
His face was tense with pain. But then, who notices when they meet a theatre critic whose face is tense with pain? It is one of the marks of the profession (Who Quotes)
