Ter Quotes

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl Picture Quote #1

I’ve gone fishing thousands of times in my life, and I have never once felt unlucky or poorly paid for those hours on the water Picture Quote #1

There will be days when the fishing is better than one’s most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home Picture Quote #1

I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there Picture Quote #1

The body is ready to have babies. Nature wants it done then, when the body can handle it, not after 40, when the income can handle it Picture Quote #1

Nelson Mandela is, for me, the single statesman in the world. The single statesman, in that literal sense, who is not solving all his problems with guns. It's truly unbelievable Picture Quote #1

One of my kids was born in 1968. There were going to be political difficulties, but they were never going to have that level of hatred and contempt that my brothers and my sister and myself were exposed to Picture Quote #1

For me, art is the restoration of order. It may discuss all sort of terrible things, but there must be satisfaction at the end. A little bit of hunger, but also satisfaction Picture Quote #1

A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double Picture Quote #1

Uncertainty, doubt, perpetual wrestling with the mystery of our final destiny, mental despair, and the lack of any solid and stable foundation, may be the basis of an ethic Picture Quote #1

And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity Picture Quote #1

If a man is going to leave one wife to marry another, it's better if he divorces the first before he marries the second Picture Quote #1

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family Picture Quote #1

Pornography is the instruction. Rape is the practice, battered women are the practice, and battered children are the practice Picture Quote #1

Only one enemy is worse than despair: indifference. In every area of human creativity, indifference is the enemy; indifference of evil is worse than evil, because it is also sterile Picture Quote #1

There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you Picture Quote #1

Every man is free to rise as far as he's able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he'll rise Picture Quote #1

We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands upon himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself Picture Quote #1

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job Picture Quote #1

Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us Picture Quote #1

We've begun to raise daughters more like sons. But few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters Picture Quote #1

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning Picture Quote #1

Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood Picture Quote #1

Battered women is a phrase that uncovered major, long-hidden violence. It helps us to face the fact that, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home, not in the streets Picture Quote #1

Terrorism must be outlawed by all civilized nations - not explained or rationalized, but fought and eradicated. Nothing can, nothing will justify the murder of innocent people and helpless children Picture Quote #1

Father raised his glass one last time and we repeated after him: Next year in Jerusalem. None of us could know that this was our last Passover meal as a family Picture Quote #1

But you can't focus on things that matter if all you've been is asleep for forty years. Funny how sleep rhymes with sheep. You know Picture Quote #1

I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering, and delivering with a sense of violent love Picture Quote #1

The Goddesses? I don't believe the term is good enough, but when you're bound by these terrestrial descriptions, you must use the best choice available Picture Quote #1

You borrow my brain for 5 seconds, and just be like Dude, can't handle it, unplug this bastard, because it fires in a way that is, I don't know, maybe not from this particular terrestrial realm Picture Quote #1
