Calvin Trillin There is a strange kind of human being in whom there is an eternal struggle between body and soul, animal and god, for dominance. In all great men this mixture is striking, and in none more so than in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Alfred Einstein A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could. William Hazlitt And some poets are far better read off the page because they're very bad speakers. I'm thinking of one in particular whom I won't name, a good poet, and he reads in such a dry, boring way, your eyes start drooping. Norman MacCaig All those authors there, most of whom of course I've never met. That's the poetry side, that's the prose side, that's the fishing and miscellaneous behind me. You get an affection for books that you've enjoyed. Norman MacCaig He whom many fear, has himself many to fear. Publilius Syrus With a novelist, like a surgeon, you have to get a feeling that you've fallen into good hands - someone from whom you can accept the anesthetic with confidence. Saul Bellow However, anyone to whom this happens should not leave his room upon awakening, should speak to no-one, but remain alone and sober until everything comes back to him, and he recalls the dream. Paracelsus When you translate poetry in particular, you're obliged to look at how the writer with whom you're working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence. Marilyn Hacker For that story, I took as my subject a young woman whom I got to know over the course of a couple of visits. I never saw her having any health problems - but I knew she wanted to be married. Jhumpa Lahiri There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison. Andre Maurois I think I can take responsibility for that in that I was the audience. I was the voice of sanity around whom all these crazies did their dance. And I reacted in the same way that a member of the audience would have reacted. Mary Tyler Moore Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused. Edward Gibbon U.S. soldiers, with whom I now have more than a passing acquaintance, joke that they track my movements in order to know where they will be deployed next. Christiane Amanpour A demagogue is a person with whom we disagree as to which gang should mismanage the country. Don Marquis A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street. David Hilbert At last the best of artisans ordained that that creature to whom He had been able to give nothing proper to himself should have joint possession of whatever had been peculiar to each of the different kinds of being. Giovanni Pico della Mirandola Show interest in all people, not just those from whom you want something. Making people feel important and good about themselves is just the right thing to do. Bo Bennett The only thing I ever withheld from the KGB were the names of two agents whom I personally had known and handled and had a particular feeling for. Aldrich Ames Doubt whom you will, but never yourself. Christian Nestell Bovee |
