Failure's sleeve cannot help but brush against the back of gratified desires and insatiability is inevitably left to gaze with smoldering eyes into the wise, peaceful eyes of a person who finds satiation within himself. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Mysteries make one dream of unendurable bewitchments, they have the fragrance of something quite, quite unspeakably beautiful. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
A heaven opens when people are kind to one another. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
The best-trained part of us, though, is the mouth, it �is always obediently and devoutly shut. And it's only too true: an open mouth is a yawning fact, the fact that its owner is dwelling with his few thoughts in some other place than the domain and pleasure-garden of attentiveness. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
On the whole I consider the constant need for delight and diversion in completely new things to be a sign of pettiness, lack of inner life, of estrangement from nature, and of a mediocre or defective gift of understanding. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Money rules the world, and doubtless also, here and there, the bit of love within it, and when love turns to hate, one remembers unpaid board. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
How small life is here
and how big nothingness.
The sky, tired of light,
has given everything to the snow.
The two trees bow
their heads to each other.
Clouds cross the world's
silence in a circle dance ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
You do see me crossing the meadow
stiff and dead from the mist?
I long for that home,
that home I've never had,
and without any hope
that I'll ever be able to reach it.
For such a home, never touched,
I carry that longing that will
never die, like that meadow dies
stiff and dead from the mist.
You do see me crossing it, full of dread? ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
To me it's as if the day has been tossed into my lap by a benevolent god who likes to gives things to good-for-nothings. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Wherever there are children, there will always be injustice. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I imagine that it would be unspeakably lovely to die with the terrible knowledge that I have offended whosoever I love the most and have filled them with bad opinions of me. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Your very eyes. How they have always been for me the command to obey, the inviolable and beautiful commandment. No, no, I'm not telling lies. Your appearance in the doorway!
...
You have been my body's health. Whenever I have read a book, it was you I was reading, not the book, you were the book. You were, you were. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
My life till now seems to have been fairly empty, and the certainty that it will remain empty gives a feeling of endlessness, a feeling which tells one to go to sleep, and to do only the most unavoidable things. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
The lively is always more contemplative than what is dead and sad. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
That's what's so miraculous about the city: each person's bearing and behavior vanish among these thousand sorts, observations are fleeting, judgements swift, and forgetting inevitable. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
To the question: How do the authors of sketches, stories and novels get along in life, the following answer can or must be given: They are stragglers and they are down at heel. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
When we realize that words can destroy something good, wonderful, and dear, and that by keeping silent we can avoid causing the least damage or harm, it's easy to stay silent. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I've thought of myself a girl on several occasions because I like to polish shoes and find household tasks amusing. There was once even a time when I insisted on mending a torn suit with my own hands. And in winter I always light the heating stoves myself, as though this were the natural course of things. But of course I'm not a real girl. Please give me a moment to consider all this would entail. The first thing that comes to mind is the question of whether I might possibly be a girl has never, never, not for a single moment, troubled me, rattled my bourgeois composure or made me unhappy. An absolutely by no means unhappy person stands before you, I'd like to put quite special emphasis on this, for I have never experienced sexual torment or distress, for I was never at a loss for quite simple methods of freeing myself from pressures. A rather curious, that is to say, important discovery for me was that it filled me with the most delightful gaiety to imagine myself someone's servant.... My nature, then, merely inclines me to treat people well, to be helpful and so forth. Not long ago I carried with flabbergasting zeal a shopping bag full of new potatoes for a petit bourgeoise. She's have been perfectly able to tote it herself. Now my situation is this: my particular nature also sometimes seeks, I've discovered, a mother, a teacher, that is, to express myself better, an unapproachable entity, a sort of goddess. At times I find the goddess in an instant, whereas at others it ta ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Ah, all these thoughts, all this peculiar yearning, this seeking, this stretching out of hands toward a meaning. Let it all dream, let it all sleep. I'll simply let it come. Let it come. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
More people perish than want to. Death comes running with astonishing speed, strikes his victims with marvelous accuracy. These include generals, doctors, governesses, soldiers, policemen, ministers. None of them pass away peacefully, as it says in the newspapers. Their executions are violent enough. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Everything dreamed because it was alive, and everything lived because it was permitted to dream. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I don't want a future, I want a present. To me this appears of greater value. You have a future only when you have no present, and when you have a present, you forget to even think about the future. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I am not here [in the sanitarium] to write, but to be mad. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
The soul of the world had opened and I fantasized that everything wicked, distressing and painful was on the point of vanishing ... all notion of the future paled and the past dissolved. In the glowing present, I myself glowed. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
God goes with thoughtless people. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
A girl sitting with us in the boat compared traveling over the water to the imperceptible gliding and progress of growth, that of fruit for example, which perhaps would have little desire to ripen if it knew to what end. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
One is always half mad when one is shy of people. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Before our eyes, at least before mine (not hers, perhaps), everything was veiled in impenetrable darkness. "It's the inner chambers," I thought, and I wasn't wrong, either. That's how it was, and my dear instructress seemed to be resolved to show me a world that had been hidden until now. But I must pause for breath. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I wanted to speak with someone, but found no time; sought some fixed point, but found none. In the midst of the unrelenting forward thrust I felt the wish to stand still. The muchness and the motion were too much and too fast. Everyone withdrew from everyone. There was a running, as of something liquefied, a constant going forth, as of evaporation. Everything was schematic, ghostlike, even myself. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I'd like to die listening to a piece of music. I imagine this as so easy, so natural, but naturally it's quite impossible. Notes stab too softly. The wounds they leave behind may smart, but they don't fester. Melancholy and pain trickle out instead of blood. When the notes cease, all is peaceful within me again. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
We found ourselves on a smooth, spacious but narrow track of ice or glass. We floated along it, as if on marvellous skates, and we were dancing too, for like a wave the track rose and fell beneath us. It was delightful. I had never seen anything like it and I shouted for joy, 'How glorious!' And overhead the stars were shimmering, in a sky that was strangely all pale blue and yet dark, and the moon with its unearthly light was shining down on us skaters. 'This is freedom,' said the instructress, 'it's something very wintry, and cannot be borne for long. One must always keep moving, as we are doing here, one must dance in freedom. It is cold and beautiful. Never fall in love with it. That would only make you sad afterwards, for one can only be in the realm of freedom for a moment, no longer. Look how the wonderful track we are floating on is slowly melting away. Now you can watch freedom dying, if you open your eyes... ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
What we understand and love understands and loves us also. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Exceptional estimable, good, nice, dear people they all were but they all, unluckily, kept asking me about the new novel, and that was excrutiating. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
God is the opposite of Rodin. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Whoever has been poor and lonely himself understands other poor and lonely people all the better. At least we should learn to understand our fellow beings, for we are powerless to stop their misery, their ignominy, their suffering, their weakness, and their death.
One day Frau Wilke whispered, as she stretched out her hand and arm to me: "Hold my hand. It's like ice."
I took her poor, old, thin hand in mine. It was cold as ice.
Frau Wilke crept about her home now like a ghost. Nobody visited her. For days she sat alone in her unheated room.
To be alone: icy, iron terror, foretaste of the grave, forerunner of unpitying death. Oh, whoever has been himself alone can never find another's loneliness strange.
I began to realize that Frau Wilke had nothing to eat. The lady who owned the house, and later took Frau Wilke's rooms, allowing me to stay in mine, brought, of course in pity for her forsaken state, every midday and evening a cup of broth, but not for long, and so Frau Wilke faded away. She lay there, no longer moving: and soon she was taken to the city hospital, where, after three days, she died.
One afternoon soon after her death, I entered her empty room, into which the good evening sun was shining, gladdening it with rose-bright, gay and soft colors. There I saw on the bed the things which the poor lady had till recently worn.... The strange sight of them made me unspeakably sad, and my peculiar state of mind made it seem to me almost t ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
To the devil with every miserable desire to seem more than one is ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
If a hand, a situation, a wave were ever to raise me up and carry me to where I could command power and influence, I would destroy the circumstances that had favoured me, and I would hurl myself down into the humble, speechless, insignificant darkness. I can only breathe in the lower regions. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
The novel I am constantly writing is always the same one, and it might be described as a variously sliced-up or torn-apart book of myself. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Walk,' was my answer, 'I definitely must, to invigorate myself and to maintain contact with the living world ... Without walking, I would be dead. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
My cheeks are red hot,
my lip still trembles,
because I sent my heart
to speak; every word of it
delusional and awkward,
an exuberance, an abrupt sound.
That's how I spoke, oh, it still
shows on my hot cheeks
I'm now carrying home.
I look down at the snow
and walk past many houses,
past many hedges, many trees,
the snow adorns hedge, tree and house.
I walk on, staring down
at the snow, on my cheeks
nothing but red-hot memory
reminding me of my wild talk. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I feel how little it concerns me, everything that's called "the world," and how grand and exciting what I privately call the world is to me. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
In the sweet light of love I believed I was able to recognize - or required to feel - that the inward self is the only self which really exists. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Ash is submissiveness, worthlessness, irrelevance itself, and best of all, it is itself pervaded by the belief that it is fit for nothing. Is it possible to be more helpless, more impotent, and more wretched than ash? Not very easily. Could anything be more compliant and more tolerant? Hardly. Ash has no notion of character and is further from any kind of wood than dejection is from exhilaration. Where there is ash there is actually nothing at all. Tread on ash, and you will barely notice that you have stepped on anything. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
One listens to the murmur of the soul only because of boredom. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
How uninteresting interesting things can become. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
That lovely things exist is a lovely thought. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Every sensitive person carries in himself old cities enclosed by ancient walls ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
He gave such a vulnerable impression. He resembled the leaf that a little boy strikes down from its branch with a stick, because its singularity makes it conspicuous. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
A person can be utterly foolish and unknowing: as long as he knows the way to adapt, to be flexible, and how to move about, he still is not lost, but will come through life better perhaps than someone who is clever and stuffed with knowledge. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
We don't need to see anything out of the ordinary. We already see so much. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
With the utmost love and attention the man who walks must study and observe every smallest living thing, be it a child, a dog, a fly, a butterfly, a sparrow, a worm, a flower, a man, a house, a tree, a hedge, a snail, a mouse, a cloud, a hill, a leaf, or no more than a poor discarded scrap of paper on which, perhaps, a dear good child at school has written his first clumsy letters. The highest and the lowest, the most serious and the most hilarious things are to him equally beloved, beautiful, and valuable. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Curious, the pleasure it gives me to annoy practitioners of force. Do I actually want this Herr Benjamenta to punish me? Do I have reckless instincts? Everything is possible, everything, even the most sordid and undignified things. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
The Job Application

Esteemed gentlemen,
I am a poor, young, unemployed person in the business field, my name is Wenzel, I am seeking a suitable position, and I take the liberty of asking you, nicely and politely, if perhaps in your airy, bright, amiable rooms such a position might be free. I know that your good firm is large, proud, old, and rich, thus I may yield to the pleasing supposition that a nice, easy, pretty little place would be available, into which, as into a kind of warm cubbyhole, I can slip. I am excellently suited, you should know, to occupy just such a modest haven, for my nature is altogether delicate, and I am essentially a quiet, polite, and dreamy child, who is made to feel cheerful by people thinking of him that he does not ask for much, and allowing him to take possession of a very, very small patch of existence, where he can be useful in his own way and thus feel at ease. A quiet, sweet, small place in the shade has always been the tender substance of all my dreams, and if now the illusions I have about you grow so intense as to make me hope that my dream, young and old, might be transformed into delicious, vivid reality, then you have, in me, the most zealous and most loyal servitor, who will take it as a matter of conscience to discharge precisely and punctually all his duties. Large and difficult tasks I cannot perform, and obligations of a far-ranging sort are too strenuous for my mind. I am not particularly clever, and first and fo ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
In fact, I love all repose and all that reposes, all thrift and moderation, and am in my inmost self, unfriendly toward any haste and agitation. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Everything that's forbidden lives a hundred times over; thus, if something is supposed to be dead, its life is all the livelier. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
At least we should learn to understand our fellow beings, for we are powerless to stop their misery, their ignominy, their suffering, their weakness, and their death. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Wherever poesie can be felt, all poetic touches are superfluous. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Authors I've longed to write like - but realize I actually can't even begin to - include Poe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kafka, Daniil Kharms, Witold Gombrowicz, Emily Dickinson, Robert Walser, Barbara Comyns, Ntozake Shange, Camille Laurens, Zbigniew Herbert, and Jose Saramago. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Robert Walser quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
Today I told myself that in actual fact anyone who takes an innocuous and random delight in his life is an absolute lummox. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Let us see to it that ponderers, thinkers, feelers survive in our midst. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
The barber's assistant asks if I am a Swede. An American? Not that either. A Russian? Well, then, what are you? I love to answer such nationalistically tinted questions with a steely silence, and to leave people who ask me about my patriotic feelings in the dark. Or I tell lies and say that I'm Danish. Some kinds of frankness are only hurtful and boring. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
They should not clench their fists,
it's my longing that's drawing me near to them;
they should not stand there full of rage,
my longing is timidly drawing near to them;
they should not be ready to pounce like vicious dogs,
as if they wanted to tear my longing to shreds;
they should not threaten with broad sleeves,
that pains my longing.
Why have they suddenly changed?
As great and deep is my longing.
No matter how difficult, no matter how menacing:
I must reach them and I'm already there. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I'm not here to write, I'm here to be mad. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
After a spent day, I
walked back in a fever.
The whole way home
the sun touched my cheeks.
The blissful evening glow
spread across the meadows
and I called this light
the blood I shed.
My hot burning blood lay
consoling the entire world.
So I walked with pride
Now that all was tilled.
I didn't know what was happening,
I leaned against a fence post,
in my blood that covered
the meadows near and far. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
[ ... ] we humans, as long as we live, are generally incapable of freeing ourselves from a certain ardent searching and longing, and should not even strive to; that our longing for happiness seems far more beautiful, always far more sensitive, more significant and all in all probably far more desirable than happiness itself, which perhaps need not even exist, since the fervent, gratifying pursuit of happiness and an everlasting, deep desire for it perhaps not only suit perfectly our needs, but satisfy them far better, far more profoundly; that being happy is by no means to be taken casually, unquestioningly as the meaning of the world, the goal and purpose of life, and so on. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Wallets can establish connections and change opinions. Things that fall apart can be glued back by money with astonishing alacrity. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I would wish it on no one to be me.
Only I am capable of being myself.
To know so much, to have seen so much, and
To say nothing, just about nothing. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
He doesn't see his path clearly, but also doesn't consider this absolutely necessary; he strikes out in some direction or other, and one thing leads to the next. All paths lead to lives of some sort, and that's all he requires, for every life promises a great deal and is replete with possibilities enchantingly fulfilled. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Instances of delightfulness are always intrinsically beautiful, so to speak, and yet under the right circumstances they may be swinish as well, for what is humanly beautiful might, as it were, be too beautiful for human beings, for which reason people are glad to place beauty in proximity to pigpens, as one is no doubt justified in saying. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I had become an inward being, and I walked as in an inward world; everything outside me became a dream; what I had understood till now became unintelligible. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Ah, I believe Schacht. Only too willingly; that's to say, I think what he says is absolutely true, for the world is incomprehensibly crass, tyrannical, moody, and cruel to sickly and sensitive people. Well, Schacht will stay here for the time being. We laughed at him a bit, when he arrived, that can't be helped either, Schacht is young and after all can't be allowed to think there are special degrees, advantages, methods, and considerations for him. He has now had his first disappointment, and I'm convinced that he'll have twenty disappointments, one after the other. Life with its savage laws is in any case for certain people a succession of discouragements and terrifying bad impressions. People like Schacht are born to feel and suffer a continuous sense of aversion. He would like to admit and welcome things, but he just can't. Hardness and lack of compassion strike him with tenfold force, he just feels them more acutely. Poor Schacht. He's a child and he should be able to revel in melodies and bed himself in kind, soft, carefree things. For him there should be secret splashings and birdsong. Pale and delicate evening clouds should waft him away in the kingdom of Ah, What's Happening to Me? His hands are made for light gestures, not for work. Before him breezes should blow, and behind him sweet, friendly voices should be whispering. His eyes should be allowed to remain blissfully closed, and Schacht should be allowed to go quietly to sleep again, after being wakened in the mo ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Naturally I am of the deeply felt conviction that it is quite nice, quite lovely to be capable of enthusiam. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Often I walked in the neighboring forest of fir and pine, whose beauties, wonderful winter solitudes, seemed to protect me from the onset of despair. Ineffably kind voices spoke down to me from the trees: 'You must not come to the hard conclusion that everything in the world is hard, false, and wicked. But come often to us; the forest likes you. In its company you will find health and good spirits again, and entertain more lofty and beautiful thoughts. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
At last I have drawn a firm line under the truly astounding great column of figures and am done with pursuing that for which I am not sufficiently intelligent. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I act uncommonly important when I read, look all around to see if people are noticing how cleverly someone there is improving his mind and wits; I slit open page after page at splendid leisure, do not even read any more but satisfy myself with having assumed the posture of a person immersed in a book. That is how I am: harebrained, and all for effect. I am vain, but my satisfaction with my vanity costs remarkably little. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
He was one of those people who feel so compelled to fulfill duties that they go plunging into great collapsing edifices constructed entirely of disagreeable duties simply out of the fear that some secret, inconspicuous duty might somehow elude them. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Our car is constantly in motion. It is raining in the streets we glide through, and this constitutes one more added pleasantness. Some people find it frightfully agreeable to see that it is raining and at the same time be permitted to sense that they themselves are not getting wet. The image produced by a gray, wet street has something consoling and dreamy about it, and so you stand now upon the rear platform of the creaking car that is rumbling its way forward, and you gaze straight ahead. Gazing straight ahead is something done by almost all the people who sit or stand in the electric. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
On a far-wandering walk a thousand useful and usable thoughts occur to me, while shut in at home, I would lamentably wither and dry up. Walking is for me not only healthy, and lovely, it is also of service - not only lovely, but also useful. A walk advances me professionally, and provides me at the same time with amusement and joy; it conforts, delights and refreshes me, is a pleasure for me, but also has the peculiarity that it spurs me on and allures me to further creation, since it offers me as material numerous more or less significant objectivities upon which I can later work industriously at home. Every walk is filled with phenomena valuable to see and feel. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
I was, I remember, nineteen years old, wrote poems, still wore no proper collar, ran out in the rain and snow, always woke up early in the morning, read Lenau, considered an overcoat a superfluous item, received a monthly salary of one hundred twenty-five francs and didn't know what to do with all that money. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
He considered it permissible, indeed even all but indispensable, to entertain, behind the back of his Edith, whom he couldn't break through to or perhaps never wanted to break through to, certain minor enrapturements, secondary belles, as it were, insignificant wiles with gentle smiles, so as to prevent his becoming, for instance, sentimental, which he would have found distasteful, and which in point of fact would have been just that. Unfaithfulness is morally far more valuable than sentimental clinging and fidelity. That ought to be at least a little clear to even the biggest lump. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
Something feels like it's missing when I haven't heard any music, and when I hear music, then I really feel like something is missing. That's the best I can do in trying to describe music. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
We grasp one thing after another, and when we have grasped a thing, it is as if it possessed us. Not we possess it, but the opposite: whatever we have apparently acquired rules over us then. It is impressed upon us that a beneficent effect is to be had from acquiring a little that is firm and definite, that is to say, from growing accustomed and shaping oneself to laws and commands that prescribe a strict external discipline. Perhaps we're being stupefied, certainly we're being made small. ~ Robert Walser
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Walser
All life pulsates in time to the Earth and our artificial fields cause abnormal reactions in all organisms... Increasing electropollution could set in motion irreversible changes leading to our extinction. ~ Robert O. Becker
Robert Walser quotes by Robert O. Becker
I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing. ~ Robert Barry
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Barry
Half a capital and half a country town, the whole city leads a double existence; it has long trances of the one and flashes of the other; like the king of the Black Isles, it is half alive and half a monumental marble. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
You don't want to depend on an editor. If you want to regret something for the rest of your life, you want to make sure you're responsible for it. ~ Robert Stone
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Stone
If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and 'Python' achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans - George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it. ~ Michael Palin
Robert Walser quotes by Michael Palin
I would not for my life destroy one star of human hope, but I want it so that when a poor woman rocks the cradle and sings a lullaby to the dimpled darling, she will not be compelled to believe that ninety-nine chances in a hundred she is raising kindling wood for hell. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
Animal rights activists talk about cruelty and torture, some backing their assertions by publishing out-of-date photographs of 'experiments' banned long ago. This is a misrepresentation. The work we do is performed with compassion, care, humanity and humility. I have never seen an animal suffer pain. ~ Robert Winston
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Winston
We have heard talk enough. We have listened to all the drowsy, idealess, vapid sermons that we wish to hear. We have read your Bible and the works of your best minds. We have heard your prayers, your solemn groans and your reverential amens. All these amount to less than nothing. We want one fact. We beg at the doors of your churches for just one little fact. We pass our hats along your pews and under your pulpits and implore you for just one fact. We know all about your mouldy wonders and your stale miracles. We want a this year's fact. We ask only one. Give us one fact for charity. Your miracles are too ancient. The witnesses have been dead for nearly two thousand years. ~ Robert G. Ingersoll
Robert Walser quotes by Robert G. Ingersoll
Why be saddled with this thing called life expectancy? Of what relevance to an individual is such a statistic? Am I to concern myself with an allotment of days I never had and was never promised? Must I check off each day of my life as if I am subtracting from this imaginary hoard? No, on the contrary, I will add each day of my life to my treasure of days lived. And with each day, my treasure will grow, not diminish. ~ Robert Brault
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Brault
Some wee short hour ayont the twal. ~ Robert Burns
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Burns
No disability or dictionary out there, is capable of clearly defining who we are as a person. ~ Robert M. Hensel
Robert Walser quotes by Robert M. Hensel
My goal for Actress is to have it play more traditional theaters. ~ Robert Greene
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Greene
Front end loading with appropriate resources provided time to reflect and produce needed changes and alignment around the C&Q approach. ~ Robert A. Young
Robert Walser quotes by Robert A. Young
What blockheads are those wise persons, who think it necessary that a child should comprehend everything it reads. ~ Robert Southey
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Southey
The drunken instinct will usurp all others, unless the drunken instinct has itself been usurped, by its own excesses. ~ Robert Black
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Black
I want to remind people that the Nazis weren't able to take the Jews to the crematoriums immediately. The German people wouldn't have allowed for it. Instead, the Nazis had to change public opinion. They marginalized the Jewish people, disparaged them, and made them objects of contempt. ~ Robert Jeffress
Robert Walser quotes by Robert Jeffress
This is the philosophy of YAGNI: "You aren't going to need it." There is wisdom in this message, since over-engineering is often much worse than under-engineering. On the other hand, when you discover that you truly do need an architectural boundary where none exists, the costs and risks can be very high to add such a boundary. ~ Robert C. Martin
Robert Walser quotes by Robert C. Martin
There's nothing worse, than having a scratch you cannot itch. ~ Robert Black
Robert Walser quotes by Robert  Black
