Ought Quotations
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. Henry Ward Beecher The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. Margaret Atwood I am certainly an ought and not a must. E. M. Forster One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.' Victor Hugo One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too. Friedrich Nietzsche |
