Involuntary Quotations
Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary. Mark Twain Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary. Blaise Pascal Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions; concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones. Blaise Pascal Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate. W. H. Auden Pursuing employment or climatic relief, we live in voluntary exile from our extended families and our longer past, but in an involuntary exile from ourselves and our own past. John Thorn |
