Julian Sands In constant pursuit of money to finance campaigns, the political system is simply unable to function. Its deliberative powers are paralyzed. John Rawls In fact, in more cases than not, when we are rational, we're actually unhappy. Emotion is good; passion is good. Being into what we're into, provided that it's a healthy pursuit, it's a good thing. Frank Luntz In my opinion, he only may be truly said to live and enjoy his being who is engaged in some laudable pursuit, and acquires a name by some illustrious action, or useful art. Sallust In the end, my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time. Suzanne Vega Iran's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons, support for international terrorist organizations, and abhorrent human rights practices pose one of the greatest threats to global security. Allyson Schwartz It is an endless and frivolous Pursuit to act by any other Rule than the Care of satisfying our own Minds in what we do. Richard Steele It is commonly supposed that the art of pleasing is a wonderful aid in the pursuit of fortune; but the art of being bored is infinitely more successful. Nicolas de Chamfort It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends. Karl Marx It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit. Denis Waitley It is the dim haze of mystery that adds enchantment to pursuit. Antoine Rivarol It is this, at its most basic, that makes science a humane pursuit; it acknowledges the commonality of people's experience. John Charles Polanyi It takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish. Robert Herrick It wounds a man less to confess that he has failed in any pursuit through idleness, neglect, the love of pleasure, etc., etc., which are his own faults, than through incapacity and unfitness, which are the faults of his nature. Lord Melbourne It's really cool to know that you've put something together that isn't for a particular audience. It's so often that a TV show can really only speak to one sect of the population, and this really is something that appeals to a worldwide fan base. People who are into the pursuit of knowledge. Their reaction has meant the world to us. David Krumholtz Just as invasion is the true and tried weapon in the hands of capital against the class struggle, so on the other hand the fearless pursuit of the class struggle has always proven the most effective preventative of foreign invasions. Karl Liebknecht Just stop for a minute and you'll realize you're happy just being. I think it's the pursuit that screws up happiness. If we drop the pursuit, it's right here. James Hillman Learn from me, if not by my precepts, then by my example, how dangerous is the pursuit of knowledge and how much happier is that man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow. Mary Wollstonecraft Lies are essential to humanity. They are perhaps as important as the pursuit of pleasure and moreover are dictated by that pursuit. Marcel Proust Life is the most versatile thing under the sun; and in the pursuit of life and character the author who works in a groove works in blinkers. Laurence Housman |
