Text Quotes
While we are young the idea of death or failure is intolerable to us; even the possibility of ridicule we cannot bear  (Intolerable Quotes) Once a man has tasted creative action, then thereafter, no matter how safely he schools himself in patience, he is restive, acutely dissatisfied with anything else. He becomes as a lover to whom abstinence is intolerable  (Intolerable Quotes) And what is an authentic madman? It is a man who preferred to become mad, in the socially accepted sense of the word, rather than forfeit a certain superior idea of human honor. So society has strangled in its asylums all those it wanted to get rid of or protect itself from, because they refused to become its accomplices in certain great nastinesses. For a madman is also a man whom society did not want to hear and whom it wanted to prevent from uttering certain intolerable truths  (Intolerable Quotes) What needs to be discharged is the intolerable tenderness of the past, the past gone and grieved over and never made sense of. Music ransoms us from the past, declares an amnesty, brackets and sets aside the old puzzles. Sing a new song. Start a new life, get a girl, look into her shadowy eyes, smile  (Intolerable Quotes) The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation  (Intolerable Quotes) Working is bad enough in the winter, but in the summer it can become completely intolerable. Stuck in airless offices, every fibre of our being seems to cry out for freedom. We’re reminded of being stuck in double maths while the birds sing outside  (Intolerable Quotes) It’s an intolerable abuse of power to have employees who are supposed to be advancing the public interest actually working on political campaigns  (Intolerable Quotes) Reality has become so intolerable, she said, so bleak, that all I can paint now are the colors of my dreams  (Intolerable Quotes) Southerners have a genius for psychological alchemy... If something intolerable simply cannot be changed, driven away or shot they will not only tolerate it but take pride in it as well  (Intolerable Quotes) Not as intolerable as being dead, in my opinion, but I’m very fond of me. I would miss me a lot  (Intolerable Quotes) It was hard to remember in the heavy and sensual clarity of these mornings; I forgot whom I hated and who hated me. I wanted to break out crying from stabs of hopeless joy, or intolerable promise, or because these mornings were too full of beauty for me, because I knew of too much hate to be contained in a world like this  (Intolerable Quotes) The cruelest thing you can do to a person who’s living in panic is to offer him or her hope that turns out false. When the crash comes its intolerable  (Intolerable Quotes) To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself  (Intolerable Quotes) It is even harder to realize that this present universe has evolved from an unspeakably unfamiliar early condition, and faces a future extinction of endless cold or intolerable heat. The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it seems pointless  (Intolerable Quotes) Some of the shells brought my heart into my mouth; lying there waiting for them was intolerable. I was sure I was going to be blown to pieces  (Intolerable Quotes) Mild depression is a gradual and sometimes permanent thing that undermines people the way rust weakens iron... Like physical pain that becomes chronic, it is miserable not so much because it is intolerable in the moment as because it is intolerable to have known it in the moments gone and to look forward only to knowing it in the moments to come  (Intolerable Quotes) We all have an interest, and a duty to future generations, to ensure that the benefits of mobility that we now take for granted, do not place an intolerable burden on our environment  (Intolerable Quotes) I cannot sufficiently celebrate the glorious liberty that reigns in the public libraries of the twentieth century as compared with the intolerable management of those of the nineteenth century, in which the books were jealously railed away from the people, and obtainable only at an expenditure of time and red tape calculated to discourage any ordinary taste for literature  (Intolerable Quotes) It is intolerable that around 1 in 5 of the world’s adults are illiterate. How can we build equitable information societies or thriving democracies if so many remain without the basic tools of literacy?  (Intolerable Quotes) Nuclear power as a solution to global warming is theoretically possible, but the proliferation problems and accident risks it would create would, I think, be intolerable because you have to build an immense number of nuclear power plants, one large plant a week around the world for the next 40 years, to make a significant dent in the global warming problem  (Intolerable Quotes) Everyone is a virtuoso on his own instrument, but together they add up to an intolerable cacophony  (Intolerable Quotes) The calendar is intolerable to all wisdom, the horror of all astronomy, and a laughing stock from a mathematician’s point of view  (Intolerable Quotes) If tolerance is taken to the point where it tolerates the destruction of those same principles that made tolerance possible in the first place, it becomes intolerable  (Intolerable Quotes) Fascism was an explosion against intolerable conditions, against remediable wrongs which the old world failed to remedy. It was a movement to secure national renaissance by people who felt themselves threatened with decline into decadence and death and were determined to live, and live greatly  (Intolerable Quotes) The perception of poverty as morally intolerable in a rich society had to await the emergence of a rich society  (Intolerable Quotes) To know that children are suffering and going without food is intolerable in a society such as ours. I hope that all our leaders, in both the public and private sectors, will work tirelessly to eradicate hunger. We all have a responsibility to bring back life to our most precious natural resource  (Intolerable Quotes) I like less the story that a frog if put in cold water will not bestir itself if that water is heated up slowly and gradually and will in the end let itself be killed, boiled alive, too comfortable with continuity to realize that continuous change at some point may become intolerable and demand a change in behaviour  (Intolerable Quotes) It’s not life in the present moment that is intolerable; the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse  (Intolerable Quotes) What should move us to action is human dignity: the inalienable dignity of the oppressed, but also the dignity of each of us. We lose dignity if we tolerate the intolerable  (Intolerable Quotes) ... Our losses... have reached an intolerable level. The enemy air force played a decisive role in inflicting these high losses  (Intolerable Quotes)
