I deem as heroic those who have the harder task, face it unflinchingly and live. In this world women do that. (James Salter)
You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream. View quote
Edgar Allan Poe
You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. View quote
Edgar Allan Poe
I am not part of the human race. Humanity has rejected me. The females of the human species have never wanted to mate with me, so how could I possibly consider myself part of humanity? Humanity has never accepted me among them, and now I know why. I am more than human. I am superior to them all. I am Elliot Rodger... Magnificent, glorious, supreme, eminent... Divine! I am the closest thing there is to a living god. Humanity is a disgusting, depraved, and evil species. It is my purpose to punish them all. I will purify the world of everything that is wrong with it. On the Day of Retribution, I will truly be a powerful god, punishing everyone I deem to be impure and depraved. View quote
Elliot Rodger
I will not seek the battle-field - The men I there should meet, What have they done to me to make Shedding their life-blood sweet? It is the veriest madness man In maddest mood can frame, To feed the earth with human gore, And then to call it fame. I have been wrong'd; but were my wrong The deadliest wrong ere done, I would not slay my enemy, But bid him still live on :- And I should deem my vengeance more Than the death-wound in strife- What ills can death inflict like those Heap'd on each hour of life?

Letitia Elizabeth Landon
[Alvine] Oh, that sweet ring of graceful figures! one Flings her white arms on high, and gaily strikes Her golden cymbals - I can almost deem I hear their beatings; one with glancing feet Follows her music, while her crimson cheek Is flushed with exercise, till the red grape 'Mid the dark tresses of a sister nymph Is scarcely brighter; there another stands, A darker spirit yet, with joyous brow, And holding a rich goblet.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon
I would resign the words of praise which now Make my cheek crimson and my pulses beat. Could I but deem that when my heart is cold And my lip passionless, my songs would be Numbered 'mid the young minstrels' first delights, And murmured by the lover where his suit Calls upon poetry to breathe of love.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon
I am a man; no other man do I deem a stranger. View quote
Miguel de Unamuno
We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary. View quote
Antonin Artaud
I could name all day, those women I deem great in Greece alone and the records would scarcely be complete. View quote
Robert E. Howard
We deem it a settled point that the destiny of the colored man is bound up with that of the white people of this country. ... We are here, and here we are likely to be. (Frederick Douglass)
Though fancy and the might of rhyme, That turneth like the tide, Have borne me many a musing time, Beloved, from thy side Ah yet, I pray thee, deem not Sweet, Those hours were given in vain; Within these covers to thy feet I bring them back again. View quote
Archibald Lampman
I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once. View quote
Liz Phair
People have sought to adjust the truth to the hour instead of adjusting the hour to the truth, and in diplomacy they have endeavoured to bring about as much of the reality as they deem wise. View quote
Alice Bailey
There must be right and wrong answers to questions of morality and values that potentially fall within the purview of science. On this view, some people and cultures will be right (to a greater or lesser degree), and some will be wrong, with respect to what they deem important in life. View quote
Sam Harris
I should deem it a useless lump in the universe, devoid of activity and, in a word, superfluous and essentially non-existent. This is exactly the difference between a living animal and a dead one. View quote
Galileo Galilei
If it be urged that the action of the potato is chemical and mechanical only, and that it is due to the chemical and mechanical effects of light and heat, the answer would seem to lie in an inquiry whether every sensation is not chemical and mechanical in its operation? whether those things which we deem most purely spiritual are anything but disturbances of equilibrium in an infinite series of levers, beginning with those that are too small for microscopic detection, and going up to the human arm and the appliances which it makes use of? whether there be not a molecular action of thought, whence a dynamical theory of the passions shall be deducible? Whether strictly speaking we should not ask what kind of levers a man is made of rather than what is his temperament? How are they balanced? How much of such and such will it take to weigh them down so as to make him do so and so? View quote
Samuel Butler (novelist)
Social and cultural change, however desirable, should not be effected by the engines of national power. Let us, through persuasion and education, seek to improve institutions we deem defective. But let us, in doing so, respect the orderly processes of the law. Any other course enthrones tyrants and dooms freedom. View quote
Barry Goldwater
There were people who incorporated melody before me, but I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing. View quote
Drake (entertainer)
As when you melons in the market buy. You'll cut a hundred, and, amongst the pile, 'Tis hard if you two good ones shall espy. So, in our day, of all the tongues we deem, From outward showing, free from every guile, But two per cent, are really what they seem. View quote
Pietro Nelli
Give me a flagon of red wine, a book of verses, a loaf of bread, and a little idleness. If with such store I might sit by thy dear side in some lonely place, I should deem myself happier than a king in his kingdom. (Omar Khayyám)
The obligation of the candidate is always to be taken on the sacred book or books of his religion, that he may deem it more solemn and binding; and therefore it was that you were asked of what religion you were. We have no other concern with your religious creed. View quote
Albert Pike
Wahabbis think that holy sites are a manifestation of polytheism. They deem anyone who opposes them to be polytheist. They believe Shias, Sunnis, and the Islamic world are polytheist. View quote
Mohammad-Ali Taskhiri
While acknowledging our mutual affection by publicly assuming the relationship of husband and wife, yet in justice to ourselves and a great principle, we deem it a duty to declare that this act on our part implies no sanction of, nor promise of voluntary obedience to such of the present laws of marriage, as refuse to recognize the wife as an independent, rational being, while they confer upon the husband an injurious and unnatural superiority, investing him with legal powers which no honorable man would exercise, and which no man should possess.

Lucy Stone
In her youth she had indulged a passion towards a young monarch of a neighbouring island, Glanden, whose subjects, though they enjoyed the benefits of fairly-dispensed justice, suffered such disparities of condition, that some of them were born with saddles on their backs, and others booted and spurred to mount and ride during their lives. Shocking! yet countless eyes certified its truth: nay, even the Glandens admit the charge, but deem their island the most delightful in the world, and the most favourable for human improvement and comfort.
