Text Quotes
The mystery of life--its inexplicability, beauty, cruelty, tenderness, folly . . . has occupied the greater part of my waking thoughts; and in reverence or rage or irony, as the moment or situation might dictate, I have pondered and even demanded of cosmic energy to know Why.  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Shakespeare, I come!  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Morality and ethics are nothing but footballs, wherewith people, strong people play to win points  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) A thought will color a world for us  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Why must women torment me so?  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) I believe in the compelling power of love  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) The true meaning of money yet remains to be popularly explained and comprehended  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) If you have that unconquerable urge to write, nothing will stop you from writing  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Nothing is proved, all is permitted  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) In order to have wisdom we must have ignorance  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) All forms of dogmatic religion should go. The world did without them in the past and can do so again  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) If we are to extract any joy out of our span, we must think and plan and make things better not only for ourselves but for others, since joy for ourselves depends upon our joy in others and theirs in us  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) You walk into a room, see a woman, and something happens. It’s chemical. What are you going to do about it?  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) It isn’t myself that’s important in this transaction apparently; the individual doesn’t count much in the situation... all of us are more or less pawns. We’re moved about like chessmen by circumstances over which we have no control  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Innate sensuousness rarely has any desire for accuracy, no desire for precise information. It basks in sunshine, bathes in color, dwells in a sense of the impressive and the gorgeous, and rests there. Accuracy is not necessary except in the case of aggressive, acquisitive natures, when it manifests itself in a desire to seize. True controlling sensuousness cannot be manifested in the most active dispositions, nor again in the most accurate  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Life is made for the strong. There is no mercy in it for the weak– none... Such is the tragedy of desire  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) To the untraveled, territory other than their own familiar heath is invariably fascinating. Next to love it is the one thing that solaces and delights  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Your writer, your scientist, your chief official, all have lost the power to revive the early illusion concerning fame and high place. Their beauty and delight is like the mirage in the heavens, only plain to the eye outside; within is nothing  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) I have seen youths bright eyed and fair groping after bubbles in rapture, and conceiving them diamonds and the glitter of fine jewels, until their hand closed over a something that was not to be felt nor longer seen, mere colored air  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) We are to have no pictures which the puritan and the narrow, animated by an obsolete dogma, cannot approve of. We are to have no theaters no motion pictures, no books, no public exhibitions of any kind, no speech even which will anyway contravene his limited view of life  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) I will kneel and strike my breast, then touch the dust with my forehead; I will, I will. Only do not forsake me, oh God of beauty  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Depend upon it; from every condition of distress or evil, there is a great reaction, and the greater the distress or evil, the greater the reaction  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Love is the only thing you can really give in all this world. When you give love, you give everything  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) How true it is that words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) And then he sank back and tried, as usual, not to think. He must succeed. That’s what the world was made for. That’s what he was made for. That was what he would have to do  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) It is a sad thing to want for happiness, but it is a terrible thing to see another groping about blindly for it, when it is almost within the grasp  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) People in general attach too much importance to words. They are under the illusion that talking effects great results. As a matter of fact, words are, as a rule, the shallowest portion of all the argument. They but dimly represent the great surging feelings and desires which lie behind. When the distraction of the tongue is removed, the heart listens  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) If I were personally to define religion, I would say that it is a bandage that man has invented to protect a soul made bloody by circustance  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes) Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes  (Theodore Dreiser Quotes)
