The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops, and hippies.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a new perpetual succession of miracles rising up to its view.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Sacrifice still exists everywhere, and everywhere the elect of each generation suffers for the salvation of the rest.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Studies perfect nature and are perfected still by experience.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

At male strip shows, it is still the women that we watch, the audience of women and their eager faces. They are more obscene than if they were dancing naked themselves.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Wise men still seek Him today.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The question arises as to whether it is possible not to live in the world of men and still to live in the world.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, and they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals and is utterly useless to any one; a blight never does good to a tree, and if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

When thou standest still from thinking and willing of self, the eternal hearing, seeing, and speaking will be revealed to thee, and so God heareth and seeth through thee. Thine own hearing, willing, and seeing hindereth thee, that thou dost not see nor hear God.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Greed is all right, by the way I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

For all his learning or sophistication, man still instinctively reaches towards that force beyond. Only arrogance can deny its existence, and the denial falters in the face of evidence on every hand. In every tuft of grass, in every bird, in every opening bud, there it is.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

When all else is lost, the future still remains.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived. It is a pity that this is still the only knowledge of their wives at which some men seem to arrive.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgment shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Stands the Church clock at ten to three? And is there honey still for tea?More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Read Homer once, and you can read no more. For all books else appear so mean, and so poor. Verse will seem prose; but still persist to read, and Homer will be all the books you need.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

True, a little learning is a dangerous thing, but it still beats total ignorance.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, which looks to the European like serial polygamy, is the moral solution to the problem of the itch. Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous. When I was sixty-five I still had pimples.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Myth is the hidden part of every story, the buried part, the region that is still unexplored because there are as yet no words to enable us to get there. Myth is nourished by silence as well as by words.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom charitable souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

What are your historical Facts; still more your biographical? Wilt thou know a man by stringing-together beadrolls of what thou namest Facts?More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The true past departs not, no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die; but all is still here, and, recognized or not, lives and works through endless change.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is great; but the advantages of this law are also greater still than its cost -- for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train. But, whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it: It is here; we cannot evade it; no substitutes for it have been found; and while the law may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Midnight, and the clock strikes. It is Christmas Day, the werewolves birthday, the door of the solstice still wide enough open to let them all slink through.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

We do not go to bed in single pairs; even if we choose not to refer to them, we still drag there with us the cultural impedimenta of our social class, our parents lives, our bank balances, our sexual and emotional expectations, our whole biographies -- all the bits and pieces of our unique existences.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

My veins are filled, once a week with a Neapolitan carpet cleaner distilled from the Adriatic and I am as bald as an egg. However I still get around and am mean to cats.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

The paper tiger hero, James Bond, offering the whites a triumphant image of themselves, is saying what many whites want desperately to hear reaffirmed: I am still the White Man, lord of the land, licensed to kill, and the world is still an empire at my feet.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]

You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]
