armjan Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 george orwell...1984,animal farm, and various essays... "Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats." "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others." "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." "We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." "On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time." "As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me." "Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it." "Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice." "The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded." "The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it." "War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. " "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Nakharar Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me. W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Another quote which I think is excellent: You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one. Lois McMaster Bujold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.

Nané Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?" George Bernard Shaw (frequently attributed to Robert F. (Bobby) Kennedy, who used it in a speech which his brother, Edward F. (Teddy) Kennedy quoted at RFK's funeral) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nané Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth.
