Impulse Quotes

Classic economic theory, based as it is on an inadequate theory of human motivation, could be revolutionized by accepting the reality of higher human needs, including the impulse to self actualization and the love for the highest values Picture Quote #1

The first obligation I have is to be funny; it’s my first impulse and an instinct. I like being funny and finding the jokes Picture Quote #1

Love: I recognize the emotion for what it is, an irrational self-destructive impulse, which is disguised as joy Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying that women leaders would eliminate violence. We are not more moral than men; we are only uncorrupted by power so far. When we do acquire power, we might turn out to have an equal impulse toward aggression Picture Quote #1

To say I had some pent up anger would be like saying Britney Spears had minor impulse control issues Picture Quote #1

As if one killed by calculation! A person kills only from an impulse that springs from his blood and sinews, from the vestiges of ancient struggles, from the need to live and the joy of being strong Picture Quote #1

As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life Picture Quote #1

Love is something difficult and it is more difficult than other things because in other conflicts nature herself enjoins men to collect themselves, to take themselves firmly in the hand with all their strength, while in the heightening of love the impulse is to give oneself wholly away Picture Quote #1

While the mind is in doubt it is driven this way and that by a slight impulse Picture Quote #1

Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can Picture Quote #1

We... must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow Picture Quote #1

I’m an impulse buyer. I don’t really go out with a list Picture Quote #1

Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It’s a bum’s life. Quitting acting, that’s the sign of maturity Picture Quote #1

What is this enigmatic impulse that does not allow one to settle down in the achieved, the finished? I think it is a quest for reality Picture Quote #1

I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world Picture Quote #1

Perhaps because the origins of a certain kind of love lie in an impulse to escape ourselves and out weaknesses by an alliance with the beautiful and noble. But if the loved ones love us back, we are forced to return to ourselves, and are hence reminded of the things that had driven us into love in the first place. Perhaps it was not love we wanted after all, perhaps it was simply someone in whom to believe, but how can we continue to believe the the beloved now that they believe in us? Picture Quote #1

The thing about writing is that if you have the impulse, you will find the time Picture Quote #1

I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences Picture Quote #1

Torn between the impulse to stroke his head, and the urge to cave it in with a rock, I did neither Picture Quote #1

Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes Picture Quote #1

Your first impulse is to share good news, your second is to club someone with it Picture Quote #1
