Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth Picture Quote #1

In the space of so many scant hours, a new world had lifted the hem of her skirts before him. A world of seething pleasures and sweaty rage Picture Quote #1

For me, the term psychotherapy is limiting. It implies that we work with mind and emotions, but excludes the body and pays scant attention to the spirit, soul, and broader environmental issues Picture Quote #1

A prayerless age will have but scant models of divine power.

The moment a large investor doesn’t believe a government will pay back its debt when it says it will, a crisis of confidence could develop.

I have a traditional view of the afterlife... heaven, hell and judgments. But the accounts of those places are scant, and I believe it’s on purpose. We aren’t supposed to try to figure out the architecture of the afterlife, since the big game is here in this life Picture Quote #1

Even though loneliness affects so many of us, it has gotten scant research attention compared to related conditions like depression or anxiety Picture Quote #1

Glamor is just sex that got civilized. A pretty girl, tastefully posed in a scant costume, is even a sort of cultural achievement Picture Quote #1

Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty Picture Quote #1

It has been said that the myth is a public dream, dreams are private myths. Unfortunately we give our mythic side scant attention these days. As a result, a great deal escapes us and we no longer understand our own actions. So it remains important and salutary to speak not only of the rational and easily understood, but also of enigmatic things: the irrational and the ambiguous. To speak both privately and publicly Picture Quote #1

Nature, even when she is scant and thin outwardly, satisfies us still by the assurance of a certain generosity at the roots Picture Quote #1

Considering the importance of resentment in our lives, and the damage it does, it receives scant attention from psychiatrists and psychologists. Resentment is a great rationalizer: it presents us with selected versions of our own past, so that we do not recognize our own mistakes and avoid the necessity to make painful choices Picture Quote #1

I recommend limiting one’s involvement in other people’s lives to a pleasantly scant minimum. This may seem too stoical a position in these madly passionate times, but madly passionate people rarely make good on their madly passionate promises Picture Quote #1

I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony Picture Quote #1

The poor old earth which has mothered us and nursed us we treat with scant respect. Our awe and veneration we reserve for the worlds we know not of. Our senses sell us out. The mud on our shoes disenchants us Picture Quote #1

Cats, even when robust, have scant liking for the boisterous society of children, and are apt to exert their utmost ingenuity to escape it. Nor are they without adult sympathy in their prejudice Picture Quote #1

Books that children read but once are of scant service to them; those that have really helped to warm our imaginations and to train our faculties are the few old friends we know so well that they have become a portion of our thinking selves Picture Quote #1

A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one’s vocabulary and the greater one’s awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one’s thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing Picture Quote #1

To provide for the future is a part of one’s responsibility in life; and the world has scant consideration for the man who neglects it Picture Quote #1

As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true Picture Quote #1
