Thing Quotes - page 84

The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and exclusive – non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. The only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not. (Ad Reinhardt)
Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it. View quote
James A. Garfield
If there be one thing upon this earth that mankind love and admire better than another, it is a brave man - it is a man who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil. View quote
James A. Garfield
I mean, is ‘fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat' worse than ‘vindictive', ‘jealous', ‘shallow', ‘vain', ‘boring' or ‘cruel'? Not me. View quote
J. K. Rowling
The important thing isn't the soundness or otherwise of the argument, but for it to make you think. View quote
Albert Camus
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we; justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time. View quote
Albert Camus
One thing most of us agree on is that the universe exists (people who deny that usually follow some trade other than science), so if some theoretical particle interaction would lead ultimately to the nonexistence of the universe, then you can save a lot of electricity by not trying to demonstrate it. View quote
Joe Haldeman
Anyone who has no character is not a man, but a thing. View quote
Nicolas Chamfort
My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked. View quote
Elizabeth Taylor
While I think men and women are equal, they are also different and I think it's inevitable and I don't think it's a bad thing at all that we always have, say, more women doing things like physiotherapy and an enormous number of women simply doing housework. View quote
Tony Abbott
My show was revolutionary, ground-breaking. When I came on the scene, people were not doing a thing. (Howard Stern)
I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene. View quote
Howard Stern
God grant that as our horizon of duty is widened, our minds may widen with it; that as our burden is increased, our shoulders may be strengthened to bear it. God grant to us that spirit of wisdom and understanding, uprightness, and godly fear, without which, even in greatest things there is nothing; with which, even in the smallest things there is every thing. View quote
Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
Without Freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom;and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech. View quote
Benjamin Franklin
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all others, charity. View quote
Benjamin Franklin
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. View quote
Benjamin Franklin
I never saw a wild thing Sorry for itself. View quote
D. H. Lawrence
I wanted to be a psychological engineer, but we lacked the facilities, so I did the next best thing - I went into politics. It's practically the same thing. View quote
Isaac Asimov
The fall of Empire, gentlemen, is a massive thing, however, and not easily fought. It is dictated by a rising bureaucracy, a receding initiative, a freezing of caste, a damming of curiosity - a hundred other factors. It has been going on, as I have said, for centuries, and it is too majestic and massive a movement to stop. View quote
Isaac Asimov
I live now on borrowed time, waiting in the anteroom for the summons that will inevitably come. And then - I go on to the next thing, whatever it is. One doesn't, luckily, have to bother about that. View quote
Agatha Christie
God bless my soul, woman, the more personal you are the better! This is a story of human beings - not dummies! Be personal - be prejudiced - be catty - be anything you please! Write the thing your own way. We can always prune out the bits that are libellous afterwards! (Agatha Christie)
To be a textual critic requires aptitude for thinking and willingness to think; and though it also requires other things, those things are supplements and cannot be substitutes. Knowledge is good, method is good, but one thing beyond all others is necessary; and that is to have a head, not a pumpkin, on your shoulders and brains, not pudding, in your head. View quote
A. E. Housman
The other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind, so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication. View quote
Daniel Goleman
I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don't do only that. You also need to train your mind. View quote
Daniel Goleman
Well, any effort to maximize your potential and ability is a good thing. View quote
Daniel Goleman
