I won't ask for the moon just yet, but that doesn't mean I don't hope for it. ~ Cecily Wolfe
Arthur Davenport quotes by Cecily Wolfe
Contemporary fantasists all bow politely to Lord Tennyson and Papa Tolkien, then step around them to go back to the original texts for inspiration
and there are a lot of those texts. We have King Arthur and his gang in English; we've got Siegfried and Brunhild in German; Charlemagne and Roland in French; El Cid in Spanish; Sigurd the Volsung in Icelandic; and assorted 'myghtiest Knights on lyfe' in a half-dozen other cultures. Without shame, we pillage medieval romance for all we're worth. ~ David Eddings
Arthur Davenport quotes by David Eddings
As a writer, I've always believed that while my work and I myself are embedded in whatever period I am writing about, clearly I am sensitive to the winds that are blowing in the culture. At the same time, I have always felt that the issue was not to deal with the problem in the abstract, but to deal with the people who are in that problem. The emphasis is on the people. The general problem begins to resolve itself even before the play is finished. ~ Arthur Miller
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Miller
I suppose I'm the only person who remembers one of the most exciting of his ballets-it's the fruit of an unlikely collaboration between Nijinsky on the one hand and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on the other. ~ Alan Bennett
Arthur Davenport quotes by Alan Bennett
Clarke's First Law - Corollary: When, however, the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists and supports that idea with great fervor and emotion - the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, probably right. ~ Isaac Asimov
Arthur Davenport quotes by Isaac Asimov
The office of the Vice-President is a greater honor than I ever dreamed of attaining. ~ Chester A. Arthur
Arthur Davenport quotes by Chester A. Arthur
Turning points in my life ... the bush, the trails, lakes, waterfalls ... moving camp from one wonderful lake to another ... the companionship of a great individual, a wonder with canoe, axe and fish line. ~ Arthur Lismer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Lismer
cleave not to faith when faith brings blood." - Rev. John Hale ~ Arthur Miller
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur  Miller
Many undoubtedly owe their good fortune to the circumstance that they possess a pleasing smile with which they win hearts. Yet these hearts would do better to beware and to learn from Hamlet's tables that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Is it possible to become ecstatic amid destruction, rejuvenate oneself through cruelty? ~ Arthur Rimbaud
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Rimbaud
like all material things, they were not immune to the corruptions of Time and its patient, unsleeping servant, Entropy. ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
Dubai,I think is a big bore - a city deliberately built to appeal to tourism, and only built for that purpose, and not possessing a valid culture or history of its own. ~ Arthur Frommer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Frommer
The Incarnation is the medicine of the soul, undoing the Fall and bringing man to the Tree of Life, and the office of a priest is to administer this medicine in the sacraments. ~ Arthur Middleton
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Middleton
This hydrogen was under such enormous pressure that it had become a metal. ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
Thou shalt not believe something just because you can explain it. ~ Arthur Kornberg
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Kornberg
Even after a lifetime, one never grew wholly accustomed to the complete absence of time-lag when an information machine replied to an ordinary question. There were people who knew - or claimed to know - how it was done, and talked learnedly of 'access time' and 'storage space', but that made the final result none the less marvellous. Any question of a purely factual nature, within the city's truly enormous range of available information, could be answered immediately. ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
My love was alive, not because I was loved, but because I myself loved! ~ Arthur Japin
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Japin
To be irritated by trifles, a man must be well off; for in misfortunes trifles are unfelt. SECTION ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
THE PRICE grew out of a need to reconfirm the power of the past, the seedbed of current reality, and the way to possibly reaffirm cause and effect in an insane world. ~ Arthur Miller
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Miller
Duels, murder, and feuding were constants in the Highlands, as was "scorning," or taking food and shelter by force from tenants of other clans when a feud was under way. ~ Arthur Herman
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Herman
Have you tried to drive a harpoon through a body? No? Tut, tut, my dear sir, you must really pay attention to these details. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
No trilogy should have more than four books. ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
In general, my advice is to seek out people and new ideas when you travel. ~ Arthur Frommer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Frommer
Nicaragua is becoming the least expensive Caribbean destination ... ~ Arthur Frommer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Frommer
What is an editor but a cross between a fall guy and a father figure? arthur koestler ~ Arthur Koestler
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Koestler
Can't take it, huh?" said the man. Without the slightest movement he was now back, sitting cross-legged, on top of the pole forty feet in front of Arthur. "You come to me for advice, but you can't cope with anything you don't recognize. Hmmm. So we'll have to tell you something you already know but make it sound like news, eh? Well, business as usual, I suppose." He sighed and squinted mournfully into the distance. ~ Douglas Adams
Arthur Davenport quotes by Douglas Adams
His insomnia was so bad, he couldn't sleep during office hours. ~ Arthur Baer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Baer
Einstein's space is no closer to reality than Van Gogh's sky . The glory of science is not in a truth more absolute than the truth of Bach or Tolstoy, but in the act of creation itself. The scientist's discoveries impose his own order on chaos, as the composer or painter imposes his; an order that always refers to limited aspects of reality, and is based on the observer's frame of reference, which differs from period to period as a Rembrant nude differs from a nude by Manet. ~ Arthur Koestler
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Koestler
[B]eauty is always an affair of knowledge. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Indeed, the ideal for a well-functioning democratic state is like the ideal for a gentleman's well-cut suit it is not noticed. For the common people of Britain, Gestapo and concentration camps have approximately the same degree of reality as the monster of Loch Ness. Atrocity propaganda is helpless against this healthy lack of imagination . ~ Arthur Koestler
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Koestler
There is room on this land for all of us and there must also be, after centuries of struggle, room for justice for Indigenous peoples. That is all we ask. And we will settle for nothing less. ~ Arthur Manuel
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Manuel
TODAY can be a healthy unusual day for you-and for others-if you take time to give someone a smile ... to express a word of kindness ... to lend a helping hand to someone in need ... to write a note of gratitude ... to give a word of encouragement to someone who is temporarily overcome with problems ... to share a portion of your material possessions with others. ~ William Arthur Ward
Arthur Davenport quotes by William Arthur Ward
Beauty itself soon fades, and when a woman has beauty and nothing else, well, it's like putting all the goods in the shop window, isn't it? And the moment she loses her good looks-poor creature! what is she? Just a mere bit of faded finery to be thrown aside. ~ Henry Arthur Jones
Arthur Davenport quotes by Henry Arthur Jones
From where I sit, the story of Arthur Less is not so bad. ~ Andrew Sean Greer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Andrew Sean Greer
Merlin Speaks:
Ô mighty trees of Avalon
release sap and seeds
into hearts and minds

So Arthur's dream
can reveal echoes
of futures past

So Camelot's glory
is forever ingrained
in the rich forests
and mountains' mysterious valleys
where a once and future King
lowered his sword
and lay in the arms
of his sweet Lady of Forests and Lakes ~ Ramon Ravenswood
Arthur Davenport quotes by Ramon Ravenswood
The rash assertion that "God made man in His own image" is ticking like a time bomb at the foundation of many faiths. ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
During my childhood, I was surrounded by actors, and all I remember is they were fun to be around. That kind of sticks. ~ Jack Davenport
Arthur Davenport quotes by Jack Davenport
Human existence is an error ... it is bad today and every day it gets worse, until the worst happens. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Davenport quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Prior to Flew, major apologies for atheism were those of Enlightenment thinkers (David Hume, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Friedrich Nietzsche).

Major philosophers of Flew's generation who were atheists: W. V. O. Quine and Gilbert Ryle. But none took the step of developing book-length arguments to support their personal beliefs.

In later years, atheist philosophers who critically examined and rejected the traditional arguments for God's existence: Paul Edwards, Wallace Matson, Kai Nielsen, Paul Kurtz, J. L. Mackie, Richard Gale, Michael Martin. But their works did not change the agenda and framework of discussion the way Flew's innovative publications did. ~ Antony Flew
