Text Quotes
And yet there is an anger that purifies the heart: the anger of the better against the baser part, against the false and wicked, against the tyrant's sword, against the enemies of love, and all that hate the Lord  (Yr Quotes) The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything  (Yr Quotes) Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police  (Yr Quotes) The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode  (Yr Quotes) The modern writer is too often a theseus so enamored of the grotesque appearance and strange cavortings of the Minotaur that he has decided to make his permanent abode in the Labyrinth, and to accept the Minotaur's laws as his own  (Yr Quotes) For a tear is an intellectual thing, and a sigh is the sword of an angel king, and the bitter groan of the martyr's woe is an arrow from the almighty's bow  (Yr Quotes) I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life  (Yr Quotes) Seek out some retired and old-world spot, far from the madding crowd, and dream away a sunny week among its drowsy lanes - some half-forgotten nook, hidden away by the fairies, out of reach of the noisy world - some quaint-perched eyrie on the cliffs of Time, from whence the surging waves of the nineteenth century would sound far-off and faint  (Yr Quotes) His insides are beginning to feel sickly. The pain of the world is a crater all these syrups and pills a thousandfold would fail to fill  (Yr Quotes) Sexism is the foundation on which all tyranny is built. Every social form of hierarchy and abuse is modeled on male-over-female domination  (Yr Quotes) So near are the boundaries of panegyric and invective, that a worn-out sinner is sometimes found to make the best declaimer against sin. The same high-seasoned descriptions which in his unregenerate state served to inflame his appetites, in his new province of a moralist will serve him (a little turned) to expose the enormity of those appetites in other men  (Yr Quotes) They are a piece of stubborn antiquity, compared with which Stonehenge is in its nonage. They date beyond the Pyramids  (Yr Quotes) Peter warming himself at the world's fire and trying to seem unconcerned is an example of the kind of halfway discipleship too many are satisfied with. The martyr leaping up in the arena, demanding to be thrown to the lions along with his suffering brethren, is an example of the only kind of dedication that God approves  (Yr Quotes) I have to admit, though, that Cynthia was a great organizer, but then, so were the men with whips who got the pyramids built  (Yr Quotes) ... The verses of Byron, Keats or Poe are real whether they are in bootleg form or not. You can still read them for the same effect  (Yr Quotes) This is our siblings of more famous BookWorld Personalities self-help group expalined Loser (Gatsby). That's Sharon Eyre, the younger and wholly disreputable sister of Jane; Roger Yossarian, the draft dodger and coward; Rupert Bond, still a virgin and can't keep a secret; Tracy Capulet, who has slept her way round Verona twice; and Nancy Potter, who is a Muggle  (Yr Quotes) The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government  (Yr Quotes) Governments and fashions come and go but Jane Eyre is for all time. I would give everything to ensure the novel's survival  (Yr Quotes) The time is a critical one, for it marks the beginning of the second half of life, when a metanoia, a mental transformation, not infrequently occurs. (on being 36 yrs old)  (Yr Quotes) Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves  (Yr Quotes) We City Folk can pretend that we prefer the rotgut from Starcorps with skim milk and Splenda, but who are we kidding? Maxwell House with French vanilla corn syrup cannot be beat  (Yr Quotes) As ten millions of circles can never make a square, so the united voice of myriads cannot lend the smallest foundation to falsehood  (Yr Quotes) No vernal blooms their torpid rocks array, but winter lingering chills the lap of May; no zephyr fondly sues the mountain's breast, but meteors glare, and stormy glooms invest  (Yr Quotes) I have known many of those pretended champions for liberty in my time, yet do I not remember one that was not in his heart and in his family a tyrant  (Yr Quotes) In the dying world I come from, quotation is a national vice. No one would think of making an after - dinner speech without the help of poetry. It used to be the classics, now it's lyric verse  (Yr Quotes) The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf. Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr  (Yr Quotes) The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has. Even when you make one out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr  (Yr Quotes) Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you do not know when it is through if you are a crook or a martyr  (Yr Quotes) It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law. This is the usual form in which masses of men exhibit their tyranny  (Yr Quotes) We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny  (Yr Quotes)
