Text Quotes
You can tell that the capitalist system is in trouble when people start talking about capitalism (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Being brought up in a culture is a matter of learning appropriate forms of feeling as much as particular ways of thinking (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
From the viewpoint of political power, culture is absolutely vital. So vital, indeed, that power cannot operate without it. It is culture, in the sense of the everyday habits and beliefs of a people, which beds power down, makes it appear natural and inevitable, turns it into spontaneous reflex and response (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
... Capitalism will behave antisocially if it is profitable for it to do so, and that can now mean human devastation on an unimaginable scale. What used to be apocalyptic fantasy is today no more than sober realism (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
If it is true that we need a degree of certainty to get by, it is also true that too much of the stuff can be lethal (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
What’s wrong with a bit of nostalgia between friends? I think nostalgia sometimes gets too much of a bad press (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
A socialist is just someone who is unable to get over his or her astonishment that most people who have lived and died have spent lives of wretched, fruitless, unremitting toil (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Rousseau ranks among the great educational theorists of the modern era, even if he was the last man to put in charge of a classroom. Young adults, he thought, should be allowed to develop their capabilities in their distinctive way (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
If history, philosophy and so on vanish from academic life, what they leave in their wake may be a technical training facility or corporate research institute. But it will not be a university in the classical sense of the term, and it would be deceptive to call it one (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Most poetry in the modern age has retreated to the private sphere, turning its back on the political realm (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Language, identity and forms of life are the terms in which political demands are shaped and voiced (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
I say that virtue is really all about enjoying yourself, living fully; but of course it is far from obvious what living fully actually means (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Evil is unintelligible. It is just a thing in itself, like boarding a crowded commuter train wearing only a giant boa constrictor. There is no context which would make it explicable (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly not constructive. For if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Man eternally tries to get back to an organic past that has slipped just beyond his reach (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Literary texts do not exist on bookshelves: they are processes of signification materialized only in the practice of reading. For literature to happen, the reader is quite as vital as the author (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
If we were not called upon to work in order to survive, we might simply lie around all day doing nothing (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
The present is only understandable through the past, with which it forms a living continuity; and the past is always grasped from our own partial viewpoint within the present (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
If the masses are not thrown a few novels, they may react by throwing up a few barricades (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
The liberal state is neutral between capitalism and its critics until the critics look like they are winning (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
If history moves forward, knowledge of it travels backwards, so that in writing of our own recent past we are continually meeting ourselves coming the other way (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Any attempt to define literary theory in terms of a distinctive method is doomed to failure (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
We live in a society which on the one hand pressurizes us into the pursuit of instant gratification, and the other hand imposes on whole sectors of the population and endless deferment of fulfillment (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Writing seems to rob me of my being: it is a second hand mode of communication, a pallid, mechanical transcript of speech, and so always at one remove from my consciousness (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
Reading a text is more like tracing this process of constant flickering than it is like counting the beads on a necklace (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
It is important to see that, in the critique of ideology, only those interventions will work which make sense to the mystified subject itself (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
If there are indeed any iron laws of history, one of them is surely that in any major crisis of the capitalist system, a sector of the liberal middle class will shift to the left, and then shift smartly back again once the crisis has blown over (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
With fiction, you can talk about plot, character and narrative, whereas a poem brings home the fact that everything that happens in a work of literature happens in terms of language. And this is daunting stuff to deal with (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
The study of history and philosophy, accompanied by some acquaintance with art and literature, should be for lawyers and engineers as well as for those who study in arts faculties (Terry Eagleton Quotes)
