Text Quotes
Enough of satire; in less hardened times great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes. I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave, who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave; whose souls have felt more terrible alarms from her one line, than from a world in arms (Wo Quotes)
There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them - isn't this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual? (Wo Quotes)
If the world is to change for the better it must start with a change in human consciousness, in the very humanness of modern man (Wo Quotes)
Without the constantly living and articulated experience of absurdity, there would be no reason to attempt to do something meaningful. And on the contrary, how can one experience one's own absurdity if one is not constantly seeking meaning? (Wo Quotes)
Self-confidence is not pride. Just the contrary: only a person or a nation that is self-confident, in the best sense of the word, is capable of listening to others, accepting them as equals, forgiving its enemies and regretting its own guilt (Wo Quotes)
There used to be a time when this country's president could have delivered the same new year's address he had given a year before, and nobody would have noticed. Fortunately, that time has passed (Wo Quotes)
I know we have still done very little, and that the main tasks still lie ahead of us. I would say that we have just completed a year of preparation in which the conditions for a new environment have been created (Wo Quotes)
I also appeal to those who have already done most of their work for society. I hope that the changes you awaited or worked for for so long will bring joy and satisfaction into your lives. We need your experience, your wisdom and your love (Wo Quotes)
Human rights are universal and indivisible. Human freedom is also indivisible: if it is denied to anyone in the world, it is therefore denied, indirectly, to all people. This is why we cannot remain silent in the face of evil or violence; silence merely encourages them (Wo Quotes)
Ideology is a specious way of relating to the world. It offers human beings the illusion of an identity, of dignity, and of morality while making it easier for them to part with them (Wo Quotes)
If one were required to increase the dramatic seriousness of his face in relation to the seriousness of the problems he had to confront, he would quickly petrify and become his own statue (Wo Quotes)
Genuine politics - politics worthy of the name, and the only politics I am willing to devote myself to - is simply a matter of serving those around us: serving the community, and serving those who will come after us (Wo Quotes)
The role of the writer is not simply to arrange being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning (Wo Quotes)
Young people in general - and young women in particular - need to understand that they cannot retrieve in their forties the opportunities they threw away in their twenties (Wo Quotes)
"Fairness" is one of the great mantras of the left. Since everyone has his own definition of fairness, that word is a blank check for the expansion of government power. What fairness means in practice is that third parties - busy bodies - can prevent mutual accommodations by others (Wo Quotes)
Each day, as I take various pills, I realize that without those pills I might not be alive - and, if I were, life would not be worth living. Yet those who produce these medications are under constant attack from people who produce nothing (Wo Quotes)
A solved problem creates two new problems, and the best prescription for happy living is not to solve any more problems then you have to (Wo Quotes)
If it were not for respect for human opinions, I would not open my window to see the bay of naples for the first time, whilst I would go five hundred leagues to talk with a man of genius whom I had not seen (Wo Quotes)
With no rest of the night; for I waked mid a story of a land wherein love is the light and the lord, where my tale shall be heard, and my wounds gain a glory, and my tears be a treasure to add to the hoard of pleasure laid up for his people's reward (Wo Quotes)
I just want to say this. I want to say it gently but I want to say it firmly: there is a tendency for the world to say to America, the big problems of the world are yours, you go and sort them out, and then to worry when America wants to sort them out (Wo Quotes)
Let us speak, love, together some words of our story, that our lips as they part may remember the glory! O soft day, o calm day, made clear for our sake! (Wo Quotes)
Love is enough: while ye deemed him a-sleeping, there were signs of his coming and sounds of his feet; his touch it was that would bring you to weeping, when the summer was deepest and music most sweet (Wo Quotes)
It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall be worth doing, and be of itself pleasant to do; and which should be done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious (Wo Quotes)
Nothing should be made by man's labour which is not worth making; or which must be made by labour degrading to the makers (Wo Quotes)
I would never do anything to harm the country or anything improper. I think most people who have dealt with me think I'm a pretty straight sort of guy, and I am (Wo Quotes)
A new Britain where the extraordinary talent of the british people is liberated from the forces of conservatism that so long have held them back, to create a model 21st century nation, based not on privilege, class or background, but on the equal worth of all (Wo Quotes)
I have said as much as that the aim of art was to destroy the curse of labour by making work the pleasurable satisfaction of our impulse towards energy, and giving to that energy hope of producing something worth its exercise (Wo Quotes)
Worthy work carries with it the hope of pleasure in rest, the hope of the pleasure in our using what it makes, and the hope of pleasure in our daily creative skill. All other work but this is worthless; it is slaves' work - mere toiling to live, that we may live to toil (Wo Quotes)
It is important that those engaged in terrorism realise that our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people in a desire to impose extremism on the world (Wo Quotes)
To state a timetable now would simply paralyze the proper working of government, put at risk the changes we are making for Britain and damage the country (Wo Quotes)
