Exacting Quotes

For the moment the peril was nowhere and yet everywhere. The majority remained solid; but the leaders became stiff and exacting Picture Quote #1

If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us Picture Quote #1

I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal. He it is who notes that individuality which is the seal of the weakness of our race. My soul has wings, but the brutal jailer is strict Picture Quote #1

Three things are required of you: the wishes you made when you first knew the breadth of this life; the contract you signed when you decided your wishes were not true or possible; and the exacting of the punishment you agreed to when you knew you would break the contract of your life Picture Quote #1

Over time as most people fail the survivor’s exacting test of trustworthiness, she tends to withdraw from relationships. The isolation of the survivor thus persists even after she is free Picture Quote #1

Perhaps bacteria may tentatively be regarded as biochemical experiments; owing to their relatively small size and rapid growth, variations must arise much more frequently than in more differentiated forms of life, and they can in addition afford to occupy more precarious positions in natural economy than larger organisms with more exacting requirements Picture Quote #1

It’s important to know that words don’t move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains Picture Quote #1

One of the first things to be noted in business life is its imperialism. Business is exacting, engrossing, and inelastic Picture Quote #1

The individual who cultivates grievances, and who is perpetually exacting explanations of his assumed wrongs, can only be ignored, and left to the education of time and of development... One does not argue or contend with the foul miasma that settles over stagnant water; one leaves it and climbs to a higher region, where the air is pure and the sunshine fair Picture Quote #1

Writing is a demanding profession and a selfish one. And because it is selfish and demanding, because it is compulsive and exacting, I didn’t embrace it. I succumbed to it Picture Quote #1

As light fades and the shadows deepen, all petty and exacting details vanish, everything trivial disappears, and I see things as they are in great strong masses: the buttons are lost, but the sitter remains; the sitter is lost, but the shadow remains; the shadow is lost, but the picture remains. And that, night cannot efface from the painter’s imagination Picture Quote #1

It certainly was to me Picture Quote #1
