Now that cleverness was the fashion most people were clever – even perfect fools; and cleverness after all was often only a bore: all head and no body. ~ Walter De La Mare
Walter quotes by Walter De La Mare
Without sounding overly sentimental about the process, I'd say trying to describe how you tend to conceive of a book is like describing how you tend to fall in love. ~ Jess Walter
Walter quotes by Jess Walter
To dwell on the things taht depress or anger us does not help in overcoming them. One must knock them down alone. ~ Walter Isaacson
Walter quotes by Walter Isaacson
Love makes you blind to your own survival. And if it doesn't then it's not love at all. ~ Walter Mosley
Walter quotes by Walter Mosley
It was mid-November 2008. There were pirates taking ships with impunity in African waters, terrorists punching holes in Indian security, China sinking towards depression because Americans were afraid to buy cheap goods for Christmas, and the richest nation in the history of the world was talking about how to keep a budget. ~ Walter Mosley
Walter quotes by Walter Mosley
By ecstasy I mean inner joyousness, and by inner joyousness I mean those inspirational fires which burn within the consciousness of great geniuses, fires which give to them an inconquerable vitality of spirit which breaks down all barriers as wheat bends before the wind. ~ Walter Russell
Walter quotes by Walter Russell
I'm almost completely without family and it's a very odd feeling in life. I have no children. ~ Walter Mosley
Walter quotes by Walter Mosley
Ah what avails the sceptred race, Ah what the form divine! What every virtue, every grace! Rose Aylmer, all were thine. Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes May weep, but never see, A night of memories and of sighs I consecrate to thee. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Walter quotes by Walter Savage Landor
Imperialistic war is a rebellion of technology which collects, in the form of "human material," the claims to which society has denied its natural material. Instead of draining rivers, society directs a human stream into a bed of trenches; instead of dropping seeds from airplanes, it drops incendiary bombs over cities; and through gas warfare the aura is abolished in a new way. ~ Walter Benjamin
Walter quotes by Walter Benjamin
Do you absolutely despise me, Walter?"
"No." He hesitated and his voice was strange. "I despise myself. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Walter quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Of all people however, Reformed Christians should resurrect the biblical teaching on self-denial from its unjust obscurity. it is not the property of Medieval Flagellants. We dare not yield it as the property of the "deeper life" movement. It was the Son of God who said, "Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me." Mark 8:34 ~ Walter J. Chantry
Walter quotes by Walter J. Chantry
Mr. Obama's approach to engagement to some degree makes him dependent on people who wish neither him nor America well. This doesn't have to end badly and I hope that it doesn't - but it's not an ideal position after one's first year in power. ~ Walter Russell Mead
Walter quotes by Walter Russell Mead
God scatters beauty as he scatters flowers O'er the wide earth, and tells us all are ours. A hundred lights in every temple burn, And at each shrine I bend my knee in turn. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Walter quotes by Walter Savage Landor
I suffered most inconvenience from the difficulty of getting news from the civilised world down river, from the irregularity of receipt of letters, parcels of books and periodicals, and towards the latter part of my residence from ill health arising from bad and insufficient food. ~ Henry Walter Bates
Walter quotes by Henry Walter Bates
This hunger for profits causes great misery for the people. ~ Walter Ulbricht
Walter quotes by Walter Ulbricht
A smile is ever the most bright and beautiful with a tear upon it. What is the dawn without the dew? The tear is rendered by the smile precious above the smile itself. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Walter quotes by Walter Savage Landor
An hour's terror is better than a lifetime of timidity. ~ Walter De La Mare
Walter quotes by Walter De La Mare
The doxology moves then to assert that Israel is forever and Yahweh's commitment to Israel is also forever. We had better approach any such doxology suspiciously.
The word "forever" is a clue word, because when it occurs we are likely dealing with state truth.23 That point would perhaps not be noticeable if Yahweh were forever. But it is the people Israel who are said to be "forever." By such a rhetorical move, the main jeopardy from the dreaded God has been removed for the dynasty. Yahweh has now been claimed as a friendly and reliable patron for the regime.
When doxology is used in the context of state truth, it has a political function. Ostensibly it enhances God, but when used as it is used here, it has a political function. Praise of God is by necessary implication praise of and legitimization of the regime. So the "foreverness" is processed as a dynastic claim. The ~ Walter Brueggemann
Walter quotes by Walter Brueggemann
Looking back, you can romanticize the things you did back then. I also like talking about the stupid things I've done. ~ Walter Martin
Walter quotes by Walter Martin
Whether or not birth control is eugenic, hygienic, and economic, it is the most revolutionary practice in the history of sexual morals. ~ Walter Lippmann
Walter quotes by Walter Lippmann
He made me question what was, when for a whole lifetime up till that moment, I accepted the world's excuses. ~ Walter Mosley
Walter quotes by Walter Mosley
Controversy for the sake of controversy is sin. Controversy for the sake of truth is a divine command. ~ Walter Martin
Walter quotes by Walter Martin
1. The first partner in the meeting is the text. ~ Walter Brueggemann
Walter quotes by Walter Brueggemann
Knowing that great conceptions are worth little without precision execution ~ Walter Isaacson
Walter quotes by Walter Isaacson
Walter is incredibly complex. I do a lot of thinking about the work I do, and try to get the rhythms of scenes. ~ John Noble
Walter quotes by John Noble
Nothing can come of nothing. ~ William Shakespeare
Walter quotes by William Shakespeare
The function of news is to signalize an event, the functionoftruth istobring to lightthehiddenfacts, toset them into relationwith each other, and make a picture of reality on which men can act.Only at those points, where social conditions take recognizable and measurable shape, do the body of truth and the body of news coincide. ~ Walter Lippmann
Walter quotes by Walter Lippmann
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Walter quotes by Walter Savage Landor
A father is someone who can't get on the phone, in the bathroom or out of debt. ~ John Walter Bratton
Walter quotes by John Walter Bratton
Growing up in Harlem, I had the chance to practice with a Negro League team. At fifteen, I was over six feet tall and a fair athlete, but my skills didn't come close to some of the players I saw. ~ Walter Dean Myers
Walter quotes by Walter Dean Myers
I think it's very difficult to make any single, generalized statements about the press, of course the press is such varied character and quality and to the different media and so on, so a generalization is very difficult. ~ Walter Millis
Walter quotes by Walter Millis
I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they're not liberal, by definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen. If they're preordained dogmatists for a cause, then they can't be very good journalists. ~ Walter Cronkite
Walter quotes by Walter Cronkite
Whatever his private beliefs and religious practice, a president must be the guardian of the laws which ensure America's religious diversity. ~ Walter F. Mondale
Walter quotes by Walter F. Mondale
I am trying to decide between the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,' he said presently. 'I am afraid my history is such that I can't manage both at once.

'Hi - no need for the truth at all,' said Paddy Ryan. 'Who said anything about the truth? You're a free man in this country, Walter Moody. You tell me any old rubbish you like, and if you string it out until we reach the junction at Kunara, then I shall count it as a very fine tale. ~ Eleanor Catton
Walter quotes by Eleanor Catton
Personal voice- prophesy- disrupts the state of communal numbness in which most of us exist. ~ Walter Brueggemann
Walter quotes by Walter Brueggemann
3. There is a text in its boldness. There is a congregation, perhaps reduced and diminished by fatigue. Third, there is this specific occasion for speech. ~ Walter Brueggemann
Walter quotes by Walter Brueggemann
Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, on the 15th October, 1856, so that he is now about twenty-six years of age, but brief as has been his career, it has been full of promise for the future. The son of highly intellectual parents, he has had an exceptional education, has travelled much in wild and remote, through classic lands, and in the course of these journeys has learnt to appreciate the beauties of the old authors, in whose works whilst at college he attained exceptional proficiency. But his naturally enthusiastic temperament teaches him to hope for better in the future than has been achieved in the past, and to see how vast will be the influence of Art and Literature on the coming democracy of Intellect, when education and culture shall have taught men to pride themselves on what they have done, and not alone on the deeds of their ancestors. ~ Walter Hamilton
Walter quotes by Walter Hamilton
Text of Sermon when Edward III ascended the throne, 1 Feb. 1327. Walsingham Vox Populi, vox Dei. The voice of the people, the voice of God. ~ Walter Reynolds
Walter quotes by Walter Reynolds
Someone with an obsession for arranging things in alphabetical order was an abcedist, whereas someone with an obsession for arranging them in reverse alphabetical order was a zyxedist. ~ Walter Moers
Walter quotes by Walter Moers
Though I no longer liked him or respected him, the thought of his disapproval frightened me. ~ Walter Kirn
Walter quotes by Walter Kirn
A large plural society cannot be governed without recognizing that, transcending its plural interests, there is a rational order with a superior common law. ~ Walter Lippmann
Walter quotes by Walter Lippmann
Charity is reaching into one's own pockets to assist his fellow man in need. Reaching into someone else's pocket to assist one's fellow man hardly qualifies as charity. When done privately, we deem it theft, and the individual risks jail time. ~ Walter E. Williams
Walter quotes by Walter E. Williams
You don't really want my side of the story. You don't want to understand me, know me, to crawl inside of my head. You don't want to feel the things I've felt. You just want to know that one thing: why.
Fine. Here's why: Her. I did it all for her. ~ Jess Walter
Walter quotes by Jess Walter
It seems to me that instead of cutting taxes, we ought to be increasing the taxes to pay off the deficit, rather than let that thing build up to the point where our grandchildren's grandchildren are going to be paying for our period of time and our years at the helm. ~ Walter Cronkite
Walter quotes by Walter Cronkite
As Brother Francis readily admitted, his mastery of pre-Deluge English was far from masterful yet. The way nouns could sometimes modify other nouns in that tongue had always been one of his weak points. In Latin, as in most simple dialects of the region, a construction like servus puer meant about the same thing as puer servus, and even in English slave boy meant boy slave. But there the similarity ended. He had finally learned that house cat did not mean cat house, and that a dative of purpose or possession, as in mihi amicus, was somehow conveyed by dog food or sentry box even without inflection. But what of a triple appositive like fallout survival shelter? Brother Francis shook his head. The Warning on Inner Hatch mentioned food, water, and air; and yet surely these were not necessities for the fiends of Hell. At times, the novice found pre-Deluge English more perplexing than either Intermediate Angelology or Saint Leslie's theological calculus. ~ Walter M. Miller Jr.
Walter quotes by Walter M. Miller Jr.
Democracy is fatal for the arts; it leads only to chaos or the achievement of new and lower common denominators of quality. ~ Walter Legge
Walter quotes by Walter Legge
That's why I've just gone on … collecting this particular kind of stuff – what you might call riff-raff. There's not a book here, Lawford, that hasn't at least a glimmer of the real thing in it – just Life, seen through a living eye, and felt. As for literature, and style, and all that gallimaufry, don't fear for them if your author has the ghost of a hint of genius in his making. ~ Walter De La Mare
Walter quotes by Walter De La Mare
Be born then, gasp wind, screech at the surgeon's slap, seek manhood, taste a little godhood, feel pain, give birth, struggle a little while, succumb: (Dying, leave quietly by the rear exit, please.) ~ Walter M. Miller Jr.
Walter quotes by Walter M. Miller Jr.
There's no substitute for hard work and effort beyond the call of duty. That is what strengthens the soul and ennobles one's character. ~ Walter Camp
Walter quotes by Walter Camp
The characteristic merit of the English constitutions is, that its dignified parts are very complicated and somewhat imposing, very old and rather venerable, while its efficient part, at least when in great and critical action, is decidedly simple and modern. ~ Walter Bagehot
Walter quotes by Walter Bagehot
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other. ~ Walter Elliot
Walter quotes by Walter Elliot
It was strange that Walter with all his cleverness should have so little sense of proportion. Because he had dressed a doll in gorgeous robes and set her in a sanctuary to worship her, and then discovered that the doll was filled with sawdust he could neither forgive himself nor her. His soul was lacerated. It was all make-believe that he had lived on, and when the truth shattered it he thought reality itself was shattered. It was true enough, he would not forgive her because he could not forgive himself. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Walter quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
The expressions of those moving about a picture gallery show ill-concealed disappointment that they only find pictures there. ~ Walter Benjamin
Walter quotes by Walter Benjamin
Dark Water was one of my favourite films to shoot because of Walter. I had seen the previous films he had directed, Central Station and Motorcycle Diaries, and I thought they were great. I really trusted him. ~ Jennifer Connelly
Walter quotes by Jennifer Connelly
soon as I was old enough, I found myself a holiday job as errand boy to earn some money. My first job was probably at the age of 9 or 10, delivering papers before attending school. I remember working for Smith's at the railway station in Bognor. We would arrive about 6:30am, unload the papers from the train when it arrived, take them to the book stall for sorting and each collect our own round in a large newspaper sack. ~ Walter Edney
Walter quotes by Walter Edney
They told us to take anything we wanted, be we were so delighted to be free, nothing else seemed to be of any value. ~ Walter Kempowski
Walter quotes by Walter Kempowski
Will read a poem by Sir Walter Raleigh at his grandmother's funeral.

"Pondering the joys we had, listen & keep very still. If the lowing from the hill or the tolling of the bell do not
serve to break the spell, listen: you may be allowed to hear my laughter from a cloud. ~ Lynne Branard
Walter quotes by Lynne Branard
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields To wayward winter reckoning yields; A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall. ~ Walter Raleigh
Walter quotes by Walter Raleigh
For inside him there are spirits, or at least little genii, which have seen to it that for a collector - and I mean a real collector, a collector as he ought to be - ownership is the most intimate relationship that one can have to objects. Not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them. ~ Walter Benjamin
Walter quotes by Walter Benjamin
Pure talent and charisma and like gods they were terrible together. Awful. A gorgeous nightmare. ~ Jess Walter
Walter quotes by Jess Walter
Like the dew on the mountain, like the foam on the river, like the bubble on the fountain, thou art gone, and for ever! ~ Walter Scott
Walter quotes by Walter Scott
Walt's grandson, Walter Disney Miller, told me, "EPCOT was my grandfather's biggest dream - the city of the future that would point the way to a better world. His dream remains unbuilt. ~ Pat Williams
Walter quotes by Pat Williams
The sweetest souls, like the sweetest flowers, soon canker in cities, and no purity is rarer there than the purity of delight. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Walter quotes by Walter Savage Landor
By the term cult I mean nothing derogatory to any group so classified. A cult, as I define it, is any religious group which differs significantly in one or more respects as to belief or practice from those religious groups which are regarded as the normative expressions of religion in our total culture. ~ Walter Ralston Martin
Walter quotes by Walter Ralston Martin
Looking at a first assembly is kind of like looking at an overgrown garden. You can't just wade in with a weed whacker; you don't yet know where the stems of the flowers are. ~ Walter Murch
Walter quotes by Walter Murch
I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday, I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since. ~ Walter Cronkite
Walter quotes by Walter Cronkite
So go back to the books. They will comfort you and cheer you. If you earnestly work with them, neither sorrow nor anxiety nor distress nor suffering need trouble your mind any more, no, not evermore. ~ Walter Wangerin Jr.
Walter quotes by Walter Wangerin Jr.
To my ninth decade I have totter'd on, And no soft arm bends now my steps to steady; She, who once led me where she would, is gone, So when he calls me, Death shall find me ready. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Walter quotes by Walter Savage Landor
We are developing new types of destitutes-the automobileless, the yachtless, the Newportcottageless. The subtlest luxuries of today reaches very high in the social scale ... The end of it all is vexation of spirit. ~ Walter Weyl
Walter quotes by Walter Weyl
Postmodernism is Modernism with Alzheimer's. ~ Walter Darby Bannard
Walter quotes by Walter Darby Bannard
Sabbath is the celebration of life beyond and outside productivity. ~ Walter Brueggemann
Walter quotes by Walter Brueggemann
The last few centuries have seen the world freed from several scourges-slavery, for example; death by torture for heretics; and, most recently, smallpox. I am optimistic enough to believe that the next scourge to disappear will be large-scale warfare-killed by the existence and nonuse of nuclear weapons. ~ Luis Walter Alvarez
Walter quotes by Luis Walter Alvarez
There is no written record of the mental anguish, the torture to the soul that comes from loss of memory and the resulting identity crisis. That mental anguish is the story of mind control. ~ Walter Bowart
Walter quotes by Walter Bowart
There is always a pressure to separate the Bible from science and to separate the Christian religion from things material. ~ Walter Lang
Walter quotes by Walter Lang
We want what we want ~ Jess Walter
Walter quotes by Jess Walter
Ben was a very simple straightforward man with a brilliant quick mind. ~ Walter Schloss
Walter quotes by Walter Schloss
Our consumer culture is organized against history. There is a depreciation of memory and a ridicule of hope, which means everything must be held in the now, either an urgent now or an eternal now. ~ Walter Brueggemann
Walter quotes by Walter Brueggemann
I have increasingly become conversant with Pythagoras' and Goethe's idea of a primordial music, not perceptible to the sensuous ear, but sounding and soaring throughout the cosmos. Tracing it to such exalted origins, I begin to understand more deeply the essence of our art and its elemental power over the human soul. Man, being a creature of Nature and subject to the cosmic influences that inform all earthly beings, must needs have been under the sway of that music from his earliest days; his organism reverberated with its vibrations and received it's rhythmic impulses. ~ Bruno Walter
Walter quotes by Bruno Walter
Over a pint in the pub, you have a good moan
That's the fate of every Magpie
While Mam perfects her game show skills
Giving talks at the WI ~ John Walter Bratton
Walter quotes by John Walter Bratton
In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. ~ Walter Bagehot
Walter quotes by Walter Bagehot
it was the meaning of more than the game of pool, more than the five-by-ten-foot microcosm of ambition and desire. It seemed to him as if all men must know this because it is in every meeting and every act, in the whole gigantic hustle of men's lives. ~ Walter Tevis
Walter quotes by Walter Tevis
Treason seldom dwells with courage. ~ Walter Scott
Walter quotes by Walter Scott
Consider the sexual harassment which continually occurs between a secretary and a boss ... while objectionable to many women, [it] is not a coercive action. It is rather part of a package deal in which the secretary agrees to all aspects of the job when she agrees to accept the job, and especially when she agrees to keep the job. The office is, after all, private property. The secretary does not have to remain if the 'coercion' is objectionable. ~ Walter Block
Walter quotes by Walter Block
After so many books and so many years of writing, I have a good idea of my strengths and weaknesses. I love the process of writing and, if I allowed myself, I would write far too much every day. One weakness which I've struggled to overcome is my tendency to having my characters ruminate for pages. ~ Walter Dean Myers
Walter quotes by Walter Dean Myers
One man who could understand it very well was the architect of these stop-gap measures: General the Viscount Gort, Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force. A big burly man of 53, Lord Gort was no strategist - he was happy to follow the French lead on such matters - but he had certain soldierly virtues that came in handy at a time like this. He was a great fighter - had won the Victoria Cross storming the Hindenburg Line in 1918 - and he was completely unflappable. ~ Walter Lord
Walter quotes by Walter Lord
Yes, yes, but the freedom to speculate is essential-"
"No one has tried to deprive you of that. Nor is anyone offended. But to abuse the intellect for reasons of pride, vanity, or escape from responsibility, is the fruit of the same tree. ~ Walter M. Miller Jr.
Walter quotes by Walter M. Miller Jr.
Every moment of our life has a purpose, that every action of ours, no matter how dull or routine or trivial it may seem in itself, has a dignity and a worth beyond human understanding ... For it means that no moment can be wasted, no opportunity missed, since each has a purpose in man's life, each has a purpose in God's plan. Think of your day, today or yesterday. Think of the work you did, the people you met, moment by moment. What did it mean to you- and might it have meant for God? Is the question too simple to answer, or are we just afraid to ask it for fear of the answer we must give? ~ Walter J. Ciszek
Walter quotes by Walter J. Ciszek
I just wasn't ready for his stories. They'd breed with the others I'd heard and hatch new monsters, because there was no such thing as separation here, not once you'd started listening. Never listen. ~ Walter Kirn
Walter quotes by Walter Kirn
More generally, I made an effort to leave out things that weren't relevant to the main narrative themes of the book, namely that there were two sides to Steve Jobs: the romantic, poetic, countercultural rebel on one side, and the serious businessperson on the other. ~ Walter Isaacson
Walter quotes by Walter Isaacson
I cannot really be open to the call of God in a situation of oppression if the one thing I have excluded as an option is my own suffering and death. ~ Walter Wink
Walter quotes by Walter Wink
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. ~ P. Walter Gagnon
Walter quotes by P. Walter Gagnon
To the lover the loved one always appears as solitary. ~ Walter Benjamin
Walter quotes by Walter Benjamin
The artist is he who can take something ordinary and wring out of it attar of roses. ~ Walter Sickert
Walter quotes by Walter Sickert
The thinking of creative and successful men is never exerted in any direction other than that intended. That is why great men produce such a prodigious amount of work, seemingly without effort and without fatigue. The amount of work such men leave to posterity is amazing. ~ Walter Russell
Walter quotes by Walter Russell
It should be carefully noted that Jesus did not say, "I am one of the equally good ways" or "I am a better way than the others, I am an aspect of truth; I am a fragment of the life." Instead, His claim was absolute, and allegiance to Him as the Savior of the world, was to take precedence over all the claims of men and religions. ~ Walter Martin
Walter quotes by Walter Martin
The scientific and societal achievements of the modern age are undisputable. But after the French Revolution, modernity increasingly emancipated itself from Christian roots, thereby becoming rootless itself. ~ Walter Kasper
Walter quotes by Walter Kasper
Perhaps no matter how fast computers progress, artificial intelligence may never outstrip the intelligence of the human-machine partnership. Let ~ Walter Isaacson
Walter quotes by Walter Isaacson
Proud parents to two children
Grandparents to five more
Who visit the "Harper Bakery"
It's Gran's cooking they all adore ~ John Walter Bratton
Walter quotes by John Walter Bratton
The real joy of life is in its play. Play is anything we do for the joy and love of doing it, apart from any profit, compulsion, or sense of duty. It is the real joy of living. ~ Walter Rauschenbusch
Walter quotes by Walter Rauschenbusch
When we feel powerless, we stop trying to find a better way. ~ Walter Dean Myers
Walter quotes by Walter Dean Myers
