Text Quotes
Tyranny or slavery, born of selfishness, are the two educational methods of parents; all gradations of tyranny or slavery  (Yr Quotes) I firmly believe lyrics have to breathe and give the audience’s ear a chance to understand what’s going on. Particularly in the theater, where you have costume, story, acting, orchestra  (Yr Quotes) Lyrics have to be underwritten. That’s why poets generally make poor lyric writers because the language is too rich. You get drowned in it  (Yr Quotes) Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which heloseth  (Yr Quotes) It is no longer possible for lyric poetry to express the immensity of our experience. Life has grown too cumbersome, too complicated. We have acquired values which are best expressed in prose  (Yr Quotes) I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future... I felt myself to be, for an unknown period of time, an abstract perceiver of the world  (Yr Quotes) The salvation of the common people of every race and of every land from war or servitude must be established on solid foundations and must be guarded by the readiness of all men and women to die rather than submit to tyranny  (Yr Quotes) The poor ego has a still harder time of it; it has to serve three harsh masters, and it has to do its best to reconcile the claims and demands of all three... The three tyrants are the external world, the superego, and the id  (Yr Quotes) Only a humorless tyrant could want a perpetual chanting of praises that, one has no choice but to assume, would be the innate virtues and splendors furnished him by his creator, infinite regression, drowned in praise!  (Yr Quotes) To preserve the freedom of the human mind then and freedom of the press, every spirit should be ready to devote itself to martyrdom; for as long as we may think as we will, and speak as we think, the condition of man will proceed in improvement  (Yr Quotes) No man will be found in whose mind airy notions do not sometimes tyrannize, and force him to hope or fear beyond the limits of sober probability  (Yr Quotes) The corruption of the age is made up by the particular contribution of every individual man; some contribute treachery, others injustice, atheism, tyranny, avarice, cruelty, according to their power  (Yr Quotes) Time is a strange thing. It is a whimsical tyrant, which in every century has a different face for all that one says and does  (Yr Quotes) Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies  (Yr Quotes) In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny  (Yr Quotes) If a man is in doubt whether it would be better for him to expose himself to martyrdom or not, he should not do it. He must be convinced that he has a delegation from heaven  (Yr Quotes) It is not easy for a person to do any great harm when his tenure of office is short, whereas long possession begets tyranny  (Yr Quotes) Prison, blood, death, create enthusiasts and martyrs, and bring forth courage and desperate resolution  (Yr Quotes) Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny; they have only shifted it to another shoulder  (Yr Quotes) This is a sickness rooted and inherent in the nature of a tyranny: that he that holds it does not trust his friends  (Yr Quotes) When a nation has allowed itself to fall under a tyrannical regime, it cannot be absolved from the faults due to the guilt of that regime  (Yr Quotes) Plurality which is not reduced to unity is confusion; unity which does not depend on plurality is tyranny  (Yr Quotes) Vice has more martyrs than virtue; and it often happens that men suffer more to be lost than to be saved  (Yr Quotes) Hatred is the vice of narrow souls; they feed it with all their littleness, and make it the pretext of base tyrannies  (Yr Quotes) Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character. Then behind both, the influence of family the tyranny of culture; and finally the power of climate and environment; and we are free, only to the extent we rise above these  (Yr Quotes) You can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?  (Yr Quotes) Every other enjoyment malice may destroy; every other panegyric envy may withhold; but no human power can deprive the boaster of his own encomiums  (Yr Quotes) No government power can be abused long. Mankind will not bear it... There is a remedy in human nature against tyranny, that will keep us safe under every form of government  (Yr Quotes) Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers  (Yr Quotes) The divine right of kings may have been a plea for feeble tyrants, but the divine right of government is the keystone of human progress, and without it governments sink into police, and a nation is degraded into a mob  (Yr Quotes)
