Dislike Quotes - Page 11

• The feeling of commiseration is the beginning of humanity; the feeling of shame and dislike is the beginning of righteousness; the feeling of deference and compliance is the beginning of propriety; and the feeling of right or wrong is the beginning of wisdom.Men have these Four Beginnings just as they have their four limbs. Having these Four Beginnings, but saying that they cannot develop them is to destroy themselves.

• I am now even more persuaded of the urgent need to study why Socrates was accused. The dislike of philosophy is perennial, and the seeds of the condemnation of Socrates are present at all times, not in the bosoms of pleasure-seekers, who don't give a damn, but in those of high-minded and idealistic persons who do not want to submit their aspirations to examination.

• La persuasión se efectúa por medio de los oyentes, cuando han sido llevados a un estado de excitación bajo la influencia de la palabra; porque nosotros, cuando estamos influenciados por el dolor o la alegría, o la parcialidad o la aversión, no adjudicamos nuestras decisiones de la misma manera; sobre este medio de persuasión solamente, declaro que los traficantes de sistemas de la actualidad se ocupan.

• Muéstrale a la gente tus cosas, escucha atentamente sus respuestas, pero en última instancia no valores la opinión de nadie por encima de la tuya. Déjate influir tanto por los escritores que no te gustan como por los que sí. Lee lo que escriben para averiguar qué es lo que falla. Encuentra un equilibrio entre la confianza que te permite continuar y la facilidad autocrítica que te permite mejorar. Si te equivocas en cualquiera de los dos aspectos, estás perdido.

• If you tell certain people that you like Kerouac, they assume that's all you read, like you don't know anything else about literature. I recognize all the things that people dislike about the way he writes - his tone and the sentimentality of it all. But those books were there for me at a very important point in my life.

• Why cannot we be delighted with an author, and even feel a predilection for him, without a dislike of others? An admiration of Catullus or Virgil, of Tibullus or Ovid, is never to be heightened by a discharge of bile on Horace.

• My books are based on the "what if" principle. "What if you became invisible?" or "What if you did change into your mother for one day?" I then take it from there. Each book takes several months in the long process of writing, rewriting, writing, rewriting, and each has its own set of problems. The one thing I dislike about the writing process is the sometimes-loneliness of it all. Readers only get to see the glamour part of a bound book, not some of the agonizing moments one has while constructing it.

• Los grandes escritores a quienes el mundo debe la libertad religiosa que posee, han afirmado en su mayoría la libertad de conciencia como un derecho imprescriptible, y han negado absolutamente que un ser humano sea responsable ante los demás de sus creencias religiosas. Sin embargo, es tan natural a la humanidad la intolerancia en todo lo que realmente le importa, que la libertad religiosa apenas se ha realizado prácticamente en ninguna parte, excepto allí donde la indiferencia religiosa, a la que no le gusta que su paz se vea perturbada por disputas teológicas, ha añadido su peso a la balanza.

• Receptivity and sensitiveness are what makes one's behaviour endearing and enriching. Do not try to thrust your likes and dislikes on others. Try instead, to find out what those around would expect from you and where you can possibly contribute. Rather than feeling conflict or confrontation every time, look for and generate greater notes of harmony.

• We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty and charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. So many people seem to go about their life's business with their eyes shut. Indeed, they object to other people keeping their eyes open. Unable to play themselves, they dislike the play of others.

• perhaps there is something more than courtesy behind the dissembling reticence of childhood. ... Most artists dislike having their incomplete work considered and discussed and this analogy, I think, is valid. The child is incomplete, too, and is constantly experimenting as he seeks his own style of thought and feeling.
