Stifling Quotes

Resignation, perhaps the most stifling word in the language Picture Quote #1

Jealousy is an unjust and stifling thing Picture Quote #1

Defining and celebrating the New Father are by far the most popular ideas in our contemporary discourse on fatherhood. Father as close and nurturing, not distant and authoritarian.

Fatherhood as fifty-fifty parenthood, undistorted by arbitrary gender divisions or stifling social roles Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses Picture Quote #1

Speech is too often not the art of concealing thought, but of quite stifling and suspending thought, so that there is none to conceal Picture Quote #1

The resurrection blasts apart the finality of death, providing an alternative to the stifling, settling dust of death and opens the way to new life Picture Quote #1

Today is such a time, when the project of interpretation is largely reactionary, stifling. Like the fumes of the automobile and of heavy industry which befoul the urban atmosphere, the effusion of interpretations of art today poisons our sensibilities. In a culture whose already classical dilemma is the hypertrophy of the intellect at the expense of energy and sensual capability, interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art Picture Quote #1

I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended Picture Quote #1

The public must suffer untold pangs from the stiffness, the deliberate stifling of emotion, on the part of many British actors Picture Quote #1

Every time you have a new tax, or every time you have to pay really an inordinate amount for a regulation, it’s really stifling this country and really stifling American business Picture Quote #1

It’s practically my subject, my theme: solitude and community; the weirdness and terrors of solitude: the stifling and consolations of community. Also, the consolations of solitude Picture Quote #1

Anything is possible if you believe in yourself, said the guidance counsellor, stifling a laugh Picture Quote #1

But I wasn’t sure. I wasn’t sure at all. How did I know that somedayÂ•at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhereÂ•the bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn’t descend again? Picture Quote #1

The public must suffer untold pangs from the stiffness, the deliberate stifling of emotion, on the part of many British actors Picture Quote #1

To finance deficits, the government must sell bonds to investors, competing for capital that could otherwise be used to invest in stocks or corporate bonds. Government borrowings raise long-term interest rates, stifling economic growth Picture Quote #1

We’re [with Donald Trump] working from Day 1, which will be [Monday, January 23 2017], the first full business day of the administration, to begin to roll back the unconstitutional executive orders and an avalanche of regulations that have been stifling growth and jobs in Indiana and across the economy Picture Quote #1

It is possible in medicine, even when you intend to do good, to do harm instead. That is why science thrives on actively encouraging criticism rather than stifling it Picture Quote #1

[The Catholic convent] had been like the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and there are white scars on my soul, where ignorance and superstition burnt me with their hell fire in those stifling days Picture Quote #1

I think, as most of us do, I put such high expectations on myself that this spills over onto other people. And not everyone is wired this way. Some people can shrug expectations off their shoulders like a cardigan, remaining cool and breezy. Others wear them like a parka with a stuck zipper, hot and stifling Picture Quote #1

At long last he was unencumbered, emancipated from the stifling world of his parents and peers, a world of abstraction and security and material excess, a world in which he felt grievously cut off from the raw throb of existence Picture Quote #1

We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still Picture Quote #1

In my experience, self-hatred is the dominant malaise crippling Christians and stifling their growth in the Holy Spirit Picture Quote #1

I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don’t know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married Picture Quote #1

In the procession I should feel the crushing feet, the clashing discords, the ruthless hands and stifling breath. I could not hear the rhythm of the march Picture Quote #1

No hoary falsehood shall be a truth to me; no stifling dogma shall encramp my pen! Picture Quote #1

Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius Picture Quote #1

When you’re on a movie set and you are hopefully making a comedy, everyone’s stifling their laughter. You’re looking at the crew guys, hoping someone is making that face like, and not like, this is not working out, man Picture Quote #1

The weight of the old world is stifling, and trying to shovel its weight off your life is tiring just to think about. The constant shuttling of opinions is tiring, and the shuffling of papers across desks, the chopping of logic and the trimming of attitudes. There must, somewhere, be a simpler, more violent world Picture Quote #1
