Sense Quotes

I have this sense that I didn’t really start growing up until my twenties Picture Quote #1

If you’re an actor, there’s going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they’re the more dangerous lies to come to terms with Picture Quote #1

Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real Picture Quote #1

A man may be as much a fool from the want of sensibility as the want of sense Picture Quote #1

I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history Picture Quote #1

I realized now that militancy in the best sense of the word was the only answer where the black man was concerned, that any black man who wasn’t a militant in 1970 was either blind or a coward Picture Quote #1

You could never teach other people anything that mattered. The important things they had to learn for themselves, almost always by making mistakes, so that the lessons arrived too late to help. Experience was in that sense useless. It was precisely what could not be passed along in a lesson Picture Quote #1

There’s a fine line between giving the sense of freedom and being too free Picture Quote #1

Implosion is no invention in the conventional sense, but rather the renaissance of ancient knowledge, lost over the course of time Picture Quote #1

People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to play funk licks on a jazz album. That makes no sense Picture Quote #1

I would step into a place of being lined up with a sense of purpose and my inner compass, and everything was going in the same direction. Then I’d get lazy and get off the track. And then things would start to fall apart, and I’d back up and get it together again Picture Quote #1

Psychologists have set about describing the true nature of women with a certainty and a sense of their own infallibility rarely found in the secular world Picture Quote #1

Physiology is concerned with all those phenomena of life that present them selves to us in sense perception as bodily processes, and accordingly form part of that total environment which we name the external world Picture Quote #1

If I didn’t have a sense of humor, how could I stand this trial now? Picture Quote #1

When a woman gets the idea of justice, there’s no teaching her any sense Picture Quote #1

If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in Picture Quote #1

The missionary is no longer a man, a conscience. He is a corpse, in the hands of a confraternity, without family, without love, without any of the sentiments that are dear to us. Emasculated, in a sense, by his vow of chastity, he offers us the distressing spectacle of a man deformed and impotent or engaged in a stupid and useless struggle with the sacred needs of the flesh, a struggle which, seven times out of ten, leads him to sodomy, the gallows, or prison Picture Quote #1

There is in us more of the appearance of sense and virtue than of the reality Picture Quote #1

That good sense which nature affords us is preferable to most of the knowledge that we can acquire Picture Quote #1

John and I were lucky because our mother was a strong woman with high expectations and a strong sense of values. She encouraged us to pursue things we were interested in and not think about what other people wanted us to do Picture Quote #1

The telephone is virtual reality in that you can meet with someone as if you are together, at least for the auditory sense Picture Quote #1

Trust is a big word for me. Loyalty and trust, for me, are everything. It’s the core of what I’m about and what the people around me hopefully are about. It’s a certain thing that gives you a sense of security. It’s the biggest factor in everything I do Picture Quote #1

When I have an argument with someone, even with someone I am not very close with, I can’t sleep at night thinking about it. It’s terrible. But I still manage speak out frankly because I have also been gifted with the ability to read people. I can sense when they start to get irritated with me, and then, I shift Picture Quote #1

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That’s not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that’s very, very important Picture Quote #1

Animals are more than ever a test of our character, of mankind’s capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because they have rights or power or some claim to equality, but in a sense because they don’t; because they all stand unequal and powerless before us Picture Quote #1

I’ll admit that my garden now grows hope in lavish profusion, leaving little room for anything else. I suppose it has squeezed out more practical plants like caution and common sense. Still, though, hope does not flourish in every garden, and I feel thankful it has taken root in mine Picture Quote #1

Much more surprising things can happen to anyone who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable, determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place Picture Quote #1

So sweet and delicious do I become, when I am in bed with a man who, I sense, loves and enjoys me, that the pleasure I bring excels all delight, so the knot of love, however tight it seemed before, is tied tighter still Picture Quote #1

A novel is not moral in the usual sense of the word. It can be called moral when it shakes us out of our stupor and makes us confront the absolutes we believe in Picture Quote #1
