Quote of the Day

On Kevin Spacey (L.A. Confidential): 'He's the most charming man. He's the Oscar Wilde of our time. I only had one moment with him in that film and it's a great source of regret. I love spending time with him. He's always very open and effusive. His interest in you is genuine.'
View quotes by Russell Crowe

The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual.
View quotes by Samuel Smiles

The word 'freedom' means for me not a point of departure but a genuine point of arrival. The point of departure is defined by the word 'order'. Freedom cannot exist without the concept of order.
View quotes by Prince Metternich

It is in the knowledge of the genuine conditions of our lives that we must draw our strength to live and our reasons for living.
View quotes by Simone De Beauvoir

A genius can never expect to have a good time anywhere, if he is a genuine article, but America is about the last place in which life will be endurable at all for an inspired writer of any kind.

View quotes by Samuel Butler

Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch-phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas.
View quotes by John Dewey

Art has two constant, two unending concerns: It always meditates on death and thus always creates life. All great, genuine art resembles and continues the Revelation of St John
View quotes by Boris Pasternak

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
View quotes by Edward Gibbon

Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
View quotes by Horace Mann

Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to the enduring fact of mystery.
View quotes by Henry Miller

you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
View quotes by Mao Zedong

We can act as if there were a God; feel as if we were free; consider Nature as if she were full of special designs; lay plans as if we were to be immortal; and we find then that these words do make a genuine difference in our moral life.
View quotes by William James

You never knew what the f**k she would say or do next. There is no line between her unconscious and her articulation of it and her behaviour. She is a genuine psychopath.
View quotes by Bijou Phillips

Several of the actors I've had the good fortune of working with stand out in my mind as 'ultimate'. I guess the obvious would be Tom Hanks, because he really is as fun and as genuine as he comes across in his films and interviews.
View quotes by Barry Pepper

Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.

View quotes by D H Lawrence

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.
View quotes by Howard Thurman
