Taking Quotes - page 79

What we've lost - 'I said in more or less these terms' - is the proper interest in and taste for detail. We've been noting that for a long time yet the loss is irremediable. In the old days man was everything. A human face was worth a poem. When nature appeared behind a human being it was a kind of backdrop taking the place of the dark background of portrait painters or the gold of the Italian primitives... The day when a separation took place art was diminished. It was transformed the day that the 'subject' and the 'genre' destroyed great painting, denaturing even landscapes. (Eugène Fromentin)
2826. Provoke not even a patient Man too far; extreme Sufferance when it comes to dissolve, breaks out into the most severe Revenge; for taking Fire at last, Anger and Fury being combined into one, discharge their utmost Force at the first Blast. Irarumque omnes effundit habenas. View quote
Thomas Fuller (writer)
I'm always wondering about the what-ifs, about the road not taking. View quote
Jenny Han
I don't outline anything in advance. That can be really scary. I liken it to walking blindfolded. I'm trying to head towards somewhere, but I have no idea how to get there. I don't write in order, either. I'm taking things as they come, following my fancy. View quote
Jenny Han
I will probably end my life fighting. ... I just hope that if it does happen, it will be in an honest and fair competition. My body is fucked but my mind is still here. I've still got my senses about me and I know what's right and wrong, which is the main thing. ... I feel proud that I got here without cheating. Proud that I got here without taking any shortcuts and by doing it the proper way. My way. ... I'd be champ already if it wasn't for the cheaters. ... We need the Ali Act put in place. Fighters want to know what they're worth. ... These guys don't get paid jack shit. View quote
Mark Hunt
For those that don't have our back, we're taking name, we will make points to respond to that acccordingly. View quote
Nikki Haley
I love taking things out of context and playing with them and chopping up rules. View quote
Helen Oyeyemi
[The present Government] believes in the supremacy (baasskap) of the European in his sphere, [and] equally in the supremacy (baasskap) of the Bantu in his own sphere. There is thus no policy of oppression here, but one of creating a situation which has never existed for the Bantu; namely, that, taking into consideration their languages, traditions, history and different national communities, they may pass through a development of their own. ... The future Bantu towns and cities in the reserves may arise partly in conjunction with Bantu industries of their own in those reserves. In their establishment Europeans must be prepared to help with money and knowledge, in the consciousness that such industries must, as soon as possible, wholly pass over into the hands of the Bantu.

Hendrik Verwoerd
Man can live without animal flesh; consequently the eating of this flesh is purely to gratify an appetite - and a perverted appetite at that. No normal appetite could possibly crave flesh of any kind. So that there is no possible excuse for the killing and eating of animals, than this - except, of course, ignorance. After all, that is the greatest factor! It is against this taking of life unnecessarily that the vegetarian protests... View quote
Hereward Carrington
I never was against wearing fur because I truly did not know how these animals were tortured and killed in order to have these coats and accessories. I am done with fur forever and I have now found so many amazing faux fur lines that are great alternatives for women who love the look and love animals. I love that PETA is all about individuals taking baby steps in becoming aware of animal rights. I am not a full vegetarian but I have not eaten red meat or pork in over 10 years. ... I am also extremely careful now not to purchase products that are tested on animals. I have started with fur but I hope that over time I will become a full vegetarian. View quote
Khloe Kardashian
The path of skullduggery is made easier with a coating of morality, which is aptly applied to an established custom, by the lawyer and the professor of economics. And so, the business of taking what does not belong to you has been well obfuscated by a ‘philosophy' of taxation'. (Frank Chodorov)
There is no such thing as free schooling; it must be paid for and, taking the school system as a whole, its cost is defrayed by the toil of those who are under the delusion of ‘free' education. View quote
Frank Chodorov
I think the rules will change and I think more and more young women are going to decide that having a family and taking care of a home is not a bad choice, but how do we subsidize it - not necessarily European-style socialism. It'll have to be a new more creative, dynamic and local solution. View quote
Christina Hoff Sommers
I wanted to be what my high-school civics and history teacher thought of as a good American. That automatically involved taking an interest in government. View quote
Olivia De Havilland
I am so thrilled to be involved with PETA and taking a stance that I would rather be naked than wear fur, because I've always grown up with animals and I consider them my best friends, and for us to put them through so much torture and cruelty just for fashion I think is so horrific, and we need to raise the awareness because a person needs to learn to be comfortable in their own skin, not the skin of another animal.

Shandi Finnessey
Not only that he was a spiritualist, a moralist, an educationist]], but he was a good administrator too. He had been elected as Vice President of India and in this capacity as chairman of the Rajya Sabha he created history by taking hard stand against an MP who embarrassed him. View quote
Shankar Dayal Sharma
If in taking my new duty, I brought qualities that are lacking of widsom and experience that makes a youth, hence I will try to replace this demerit with a vehement spirit to do deeds. View quote
Abdul Halim of Kedah
We're all taking on too much, we're all asking too much of ourselves. We're all wishing we could do more, and therefore just doing more. View quote
Sharon Olds
And I make bold to say that I am not the only one of my countrymen who could profit from taking this admonition to heart. View quote
Michael Shea
As long as I'm the director of Miss Nevada, we will never award fur coats as prizes, and I urge my fellow pageant directors to make the same pledge. Kind people today are taking a stand against cruelty to animals-so a fur coat is no prize for a compassionate, socially-aware woman. View quote
Shanna Moakler
I cannot hide from you that I am quite nervous. I am not taking on this job at the easiest point in Greek history. (Euclid Tsakalotos)
Will you encourage your workers to be innovative, or will you promote an environment where the status quo is good enough? Do you have mechanisms to allow all employees to voice opinions and provide feedback without fear of retaliation? Are you accessible, or are you insulated from your people? Good leaders motivate by being seen, by communicating, by engaging, and by taking care of their employees. View quote
Ann E. Dunwoody
Viewed from the standpoint of social science, society is composed of individuals organized in occupational groups, each group fulfilling some function of the society. Taking this fact into account, psychology – the science of human nature and human consciousness – is able to make at least one general assertion as to the form a given society must take if it is to persist as a society. It must be possible for the individual as he works to see that his work is socially necessary; he must be able to see beyond his group to the society. View quote
Elton Mayo
The advantage of taking pictures of the famous is that they get published. View quote
Elliott Erwitt
Everybody's got to do something... I'd been on my own since an early age and I thought I better find something to do to buy biscuits and stuff. From high school onwards I was earning my way with photography, one way or another, working in darkrooms and taking pictures of weddings, neighbors' children and so on. View quote
