Text Quotes
In taking revenge upon our enemies, we are only even with them; in passing over their malice we are superior  (Upon Quotes) I have never been able to be so allured by the prospect of advantages or so terrified by misfortunes, swayed by honours or fettered by affection, nay not even so smitten by the fear of death, as to enter upon marriage  (Upon Quotes) Hindsight, usually looked down upon, is probably as valuable as foresight, since it does include a few facts  (Upon Quotes) Prostitution is really the only crime in the penal law where two people are doing a thing mutually agreed upon and yet only one, the female partner, is subject to arrest  (Upon Quotes) We sometimes forget the influence of action upon thought.... Smile, whistle, sing, play the part you want to be until you become the part you play  (Upon Quotes) Happiness is a duty, not only because of its effect upon us but because of its influence upon others  (Upon Quotes) It seems a strange fact that it is almost more important for us to be happy ourselves than to try to make other people happy. By being happy we confer untold benefits upon our fellow men  (Upon Quotes) It is well enough, when one is talking to a friend, to lodge in an odd word by way of counsel now and then; but there is something mighty irksome in its staring upon one in a letter, where one ought to see only kind words and friendly remembrances  (Upon Quotes) Death is what takes place within us when we look upon others not as gift, blessing, or stimulus but as threat, danger, competition  (Upon Quotes) Everyone seems possessed with the desire of writing articles upon me and sends me long lists of all I am to say  (Upon Quotes) The immediate cause of the increase of population is the excess of the births above deaths; and the rate of increase, or the period of doubling, depends upon the proportion which the excess of the births above the deaths bears to the population  (Upon Quotes) For poetry, more than any other art, except music, has a compelling hold upon the spiritual side of life  (Upon Quotes) Some women are born to be married, some achieve marriage, and others have marriage thrust upon them  (Upon Quotes) No woman need fear the effect of absence upon the man who honestly loves her. The needle of the compass, regardless of intervening seas, points forever toward the north. Pitiful indeed is she who fails to be a magnet and blindly becomes a chain  (Upon Quotes) The English, although partakers in the most variable and quixotic climate in the world, never become used to its vagaries, but comment upon them with shock and resentment as if all their lives had been spent in the predictable monsoon  (Upon Quotes) Whoever is devoid of the capacity to wonder, whoever remains unmoved, whoever cannot contemplate or know the deep shudder of the soul in enchantment, might just as well be dead for he has already closed his eyes upon life  (Upon Quotes) I saw the desert, it grew upon me. There are times, when I have sorrows, that I hunger and thirst for it  (Upon Quotes) Every person who sees you physically evaluates you and projects energy towards you based upon the way you’ve dressed  (Upon Quotes) Belated maternity has had its compensations; small children have a habit of conferring persistent youth upon their parents, and by their eager vitality postpone the unenterprising cautions and timidities of middle age  (Upon Quotes) We make a great fuss about national conscience, but it consists mainly in insisting upon everyone ascribing our national policy to highly moral motives, rather than in examining what our motives really are  (Upon Quotes) How sad that men would base an entire civilization on the principle of paternity, upon the legal owership and presumed responsibility for children, and then never really get to know their sons and daughters very well  (Upon Quotes) By understanding how all things arise together, you shift from viewing yourself as acting upon and realizing all things, to a new vision of seeing all things coming forth and realizing you  (Upon Quotes) Today when two people decide upon a thoughtless and precipitate abbreviation of the physical space between them, they think, at least at that moment, that they’re mutually attracted and drawn together by an overwhelming force  (Upon Quotes) Gaiety is forgetfulness of the self, melancholy is memory of the self: in that state the soul feels all the power of its roots, nothing distracts it from its profound homeland and the look that it casts upon the outer world is gently dismayed  (Upon Quotes) It is possible to study fashion the way one can study a work of art, so that it reflects significantly upon the issues and conflicts of its own day  (Upon Quotes) It is an easy thing to call names; any fool is equal to that... and the weapon of vituperation is generally used by those who lack brains for argument or are upon the wrong side  (Upon Quotes) There’s never been anything I didn’t love that I didn’t connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it  (Upon Quotes) Humanity finds itself in the midst of the world. In the midst of all other creatures humanity is the most significant and yet the most dependent upon the others  (Upon Quotes) God, what pathetic creatures had inherited the earth, to walk a little while with their eyes upon the stars and turn their gaze too soon upon the ground that held their feet!  (Upon Quotes) It is so often the odd, the unexpected, the apparently trifling, that stamps itself upon the memory for ever, while much more memorable things pass away like a breath of wind  (Upon Quotes)
