Text Quotes
The world is always full of brilliant youth which fades into grey and embittered middle age: the first flowering takes everything. The great men are those who have developed slowly, or who have been able to survive the glamour of their early florescence and to go on learning from life  (Ter Quotes) The sky was a midnight blue, like warm, deep, blue water, and the moon seemed to lie on it like a water lily, floating forward with an invisible current  (Ter Quotes) But it is hard to know them from friends, they are so obsequious, and full of protestations; for as a wolf resembles a dog, so doth a flatterer a friend  (Ter Quotes) Because all men are apt to flatter themselves, to entertain the addition of other men's praises is most perilous  (Ter Quotes) Take special care that thou never trust any friend or servant with any matter that may endanger thine estate; for so shalt thou make thyself a bond slave to him that thou trustest, and leave thyself always to his mercy  (Ter Quotes) Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women it is merely a good excuse not to play football  (Ter Quotes) Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge  (Ter Quotes) Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas  (Ter Quotes) When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit  (Ter Quotes) I do borrow from other writers, shamelessly! I can only say in my defense, like the woman brought before the judge on a charge of kleptomania, I do steal, but, your Honor, only from the very best stores  (Ter Quotes) The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels  (Ter Quotes) Few tasks are more like the torture of sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day  (Ter Quotes) We always come back to the same vicious circle an extreme degree of material or intellectual poverty does away with the means of alleviating it  (Ter Quotes) If you haven't been happy very young, you can still be happy later on, but it's much harder. You need more luck  (Ter Quotes) Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God  (Ter Quotes) One cannot attain divine knowledge till one gets rid of pride. Water does not stay on the top of a mound; but into low land it flows in torrents from all sides  (Ter Quotes) When the tail of the tadpole drops off, it can live both in water and on land. When the tail of delusive ignorance drops off from man, he becomes free. He can then live in God and the world equally well  (Ter Quotes) He who receives money in trust to administer for the benefit of its owner, and uses it either for his own interest or against the wishes of its rightful owner, is a thief  (Ter Quotes) The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well  (Ter Quotes) The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better  (Ter Quotes) The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs  (Ter Quotes) Partiality is, as we have seen, an accompaniment of the existence of interest, since this means sharing, partaking, taking sides in some movement. All the more reason, therefore, for an attitude of mind which actively welcomes suggestions and relevant information from all sides  (Ter Quotes) Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen  (Ter Quotes) Lost - Yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever  (Ter Quotes) We cannot be too earnest, too persistent, too determined, about living superior to the herd instinct  (Ter Quotes) It is not so much tutoring that the minds needs, but clearer recognition and better use of what it already knows  (Ter Quotes) You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do  (Ter Quotes) My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them  (Ter Quotes) Just let me go, we have to be able to criticize what we love, to say what we have to say 'cause if you're not trying to make something better, then as far as I can tell, you are just in the way  (Ter Quotes) My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do  (Ter Quotes)
