Innocence Quotes

Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction; it is, in great part, a protest against Paganism. Its ideal is negative rather than positive; passive rather than action; innocence rather than Nobleness; Abstinence from Evil, rather than energetic Pursuit of Good: in it's precepts (as has been well said)

Obscurity and innocence, twin sisters, escape temptations which would pierce their gossamer armor, in contact with the world Picture Quote #1

Adam knew no disease so long as temperance from the forbidden fruit secured him. Nature was his physician; and innocence and abstinence would have kept him healthful to immortality Picture Quote #1

Bad company is as instructive as debauchery: one is indemnified for the loss of innocence by the loss of prejudice Picture Quote #1

Every creative act involves a new innocence or perception, liberated from the cataract of accepted belief Picture Quote #1

Like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colors are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content Picture Quote #1

I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That’s because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do what they said I did. I may have done enough so that I don’t know if I can prove my innocence Picture Quote #1

America fell in love with the innocence of a kid who just was honest, saying, I did the best I could, and I had no formal training Picture Quote #1

Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men Picture Quote #1

Crime butchers innocence to secure a throne, and innocence struggles with all its might against the attempts of crime Picture Quote #1

Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb Picture Quote #1

The writer cannot abandon himself simply to inspiration, and feign innocence vis a vis language, because language is never innocent Picture Quote #1

It’s the first villain that I’ve played in a movie that has absolutely no vulnerability and no innocence, nothing whatsoever that is likeable about her other than she’s so bad Picture Quote #1

The pain comes from knowing that we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be so ignorant again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. Losing innocence. Remembering heaven. That was the essence of hell Picture Quote #1

Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn’t ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it Picture Quote #1

People talk vaguely about the innocence of a little child, but they take mighty good care not to let it out of their sight for twenty minutes Picture Quote #1

Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education Picture Quote #1

What innocence, may I ask, is being played here when it is known that this virtuous damsel has already got a dozen illegitimate children? Picture Quote #1

The innocence that feels no risk and is taught no caution, is more vulnerable than guilt, and oftener assailed Picture Quote #1

It is innocence that is full and experience that is empty. It is innocence that wins and experience that loses Picture Quote #1

All prisons are brimming over with innocence. It is those who cram their fellows into them, in the name of empty ideas, who are the only guilty ones Picture Quote #1

Virtue is not to be considered in the light of mere innocence, or abstaining from harm; but as the exertion of our faculties in doing good Picture Quote #1

Many people find it easy to imagine unseen webs of malevolent conspiracy in the world, and they are not always wrong. But there is also an innocence that conspires to hold humanity together, and it is made of people who can never fully know the good that they have done Picture Quote #1

Maybe there are moments between any two adults in love when the age of one of them dissolves before the other’s eyes, when the first refuge of the soul at its creation is laid bare and skinless as a sunbeam through a window. Innocence and vulnerability, two unmeasurable quantities... Perhaps that is the essence of the protection’s intimacy, that it dwells in camouflage and justifies itself in stillness Picture Quote #1

And for adults, the world of fantasy books returns to us the great words of power which, in order to be tamed, we have excised from our adult vocabularies. These words are the pornography of innocence, words which adults no longer use with other adults, and so we laugh at them and consign them to the nursery, fear masking as cynicism. These are the words that were forged in the earth, air, fire, and water of human existence, and the words are: Love. Hate. Good. Evil. Courage. Honor. Truth Picture Quote #1

Then you must teach my daughter this same lesson. How to lose your innocence but not your hope. How to laugh forever Picture Quote #1
