Quote of the Day

America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy (Problems - 1980)
View quotes by John Updike

Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
View quotes by Saint Augustine

I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
View quotes by J G Ballard

No people require maxims so much as the American. The reason is obvious: the country is so vast, the people always going somewhere, from Oregon apple valley to boreal New England, that we do not know whether to be temperate orchards or sterile climate.
View quotes by Edward Dahlberg

As the biggest library, if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
View quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

I think that the leaf of a tree, the meanest insect on which we trample, are in themselves arguments more conclusive than any which can be adduced that some vast intellect animates Infinity.
View quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
View quotes by Camille Paglia

The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn.
View quotes by Pope John Paul II

Confusion heard his voice, and wild uproar Stood ruled, stood vast infinitude confined; Till at his second bidding darkness fled, Light shone, and order from disorder sprung.
View quotes by John Milton

No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe.
View quotes by Henry Miller

It is only in appearance that time is a river. It is rather a vast landscape and it is the eye of the beholder that moves.
View quotes by Thornton Wilder

Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures.
View quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

A little kindness from person to person is better than a vast love for all humankind.
View quotes by Richard Dehmel

There is a vast difference between games and play. Play is played for fun, but games are deadly serious and you do not play them to enjoy yourself.
View quotes by Maurice Baring

The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people.
View quotes by Avery Brundage

Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
View quotes by G M Trevelyan

I feel I am growing old for want of somebody to tell me that I am looking as young as ever. Charming falsehood! There is a vast deal of vital air loving words
View quotes by Walter Landor

Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean toward each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land
View quotes by Jack London

It is not credible for a party leader to have the passive support of the wider membership without first ensuring that he has the confidence of the vast majority if not the whole of his parliamentary colleagues
View quotes by Andrew George

Is it not a noble farce wherein kings, republics, and emperors have for so many ages played their parts, and to which the vast universe serves for a theatre?
View quotes by Montaigne
