thinking looks speak
But, of course only morons would ever think or speak of themselves as intellectuals. That's why they all look so sad.
dream country thinking
There is in every human being, I think, a native country of the mind, where, protected by inaccessible barriers, the sensitive dream life may exist safely.
thinking order feminist
I was always a feminist, for I liked intellectual revolt as much as I disliked physical violence. On the whole, I think women havelost something precious, but have gained, immeasurably, by the passing of the old order.
art thinking psychology
... the novel, as a living force, if not as a work of art, owes an incalculable debt to what we call, mistakenly, the new psychology, to Freud, in his earlier interpretations, and more truly, I think, to Jung.
thoughtful thinking order
Apart from letters, it is the vulgar custom of the moment to deride the thinkers of the Victorian and Edwardian eras; yet there has not been, in all history, another agewhen so much sheer mental energy was directed toward creating a fairer social order.
fashion thoughtful thinking
I have watchedmany literary fashions shoot up and blossom, and then fade and drop.... Yet with the many that I have seen comeand go, I have never yet encountered a mode of thinking that regarded itself as simply a changing fashion, and not as an infallible approach to the right culture.
thinking two people
What fools people are when they think they can make two lives belong together by saying words over them.
thinking men persuasion
it is easy to convince a man who already thinks as you do ...
passion thinking world
Passion alone could destroy passion. All the thinking in the world could not make so much as a dent in its surface.
american-novelist sit trouble women
Some women like to sit down with trouble as if it were knitting.
american-novelist difference grave rut
The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions.
american-novelist easier hard life
No life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it.
cutting men blood
you can't fit the same religion to every man any mo' than you can the same pair of breeches. The big man takes the big breeches an' the little man takes the small ones, an' it's jest the same with religion. It may be cut after one pattern, but it's might apt to get its shape from the wearer inside. Why, thar ain't any text so peaceable that it ain't drawn blood from somebody.
spring book light
1. Always wait between books for the springs to fill up and flow over. 2. Always preserve within a wild sanctuary, an inaccessible valley of reveries. 3. Always, and as far as it is possible, endeavor to touch life on every side; but keep the central vision of the mind, the inmost light, untouched and untouchable.
