We degenerate into hideous ordspråk

We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Tvivel

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers "Please will you do the job for me."

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation.

Stanley Milgram

Frihet

We have come into this exquisite world to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom and light!

Hafiz of Persia

The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden. Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.

Octave Mirbeau (1850-)

It's a real love story in an extreme situation, ... I was afraid of only one thing. I was afraid to offend the memory of survivors on Jewish people, which I respect so much.

Roberto Benigni (1952-)

Joel is not afraid to let those two guys jump in when he doesn't see something. It's nice to see. It's not one guy controlling everybody. They're not puppets. They bring their input, and that's what makes coaches successful.

Ian Laperriere

These companies are going to be haunted by the memory of their own growth. There's going to be pressure from the investment community to find new ways to do that. The bigger you get, the harder it is to grow by 20 percent.

Stephen Simpson

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.

Edward Vernon Rickenbacker (1890-1973)

Kurage

Courage is doing what your afraid to do. There can be no courage unless your scared.

Eddie Rickenbacker

I agree about Shaw - he is haunted by the mystery he flouts. He is an atheist who trembles in the haunted corridor.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

The whole theme of the project is exquisite -- exquisite and expensive.

Simon Snellgrove

Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite expressions.

Joseph Roux (1834-1905)
