Deprecation Quotes By Jim Butcher

Look, Spanky," I said to Sharkface. "I'm a little busy to be tussling with every random weirdo who is insecure about his junk. Otherwise I would just love to smash you with a beer bottle, kick you in the balls, throw you out through the saloon doors, the whole bit. Why don't you have your people contact my people, and we can do this maybe next week?"

Deprecation Quotes By M.R. Carey

He hands her his pack, which he's emptied. "You mean me?" Justineau demands. "You think I'm not pulling my weight?" It would feel good to have a stand-up argument with Parks right then, but he doesn't seem keen to play. "No, I didn't mean you. I meant in general." "People in general? You were being philosophical?" "I was being a grumpy bastard. It's what I wear to the office most days. I guess you probably noticed that." She hesitates, wrong-footed. She didn't think Parks was capable of self-deprecation. But then she didn't think he was capable of changing his mind. "Any more rules of engagement?" she asks him, still hurting in some obscure way, still not mollified. "How to survive when shopping? Top tips for modern urban living?" Parks gives the question more consideration than she was expecting. "Use up the last of that e-blocker," he suggests. "And don't die. — M.R. Carey

Deprecation Quotes By Lou Reed

They say no one person can do it all
But you want to in your head
But you can't be Shakespeare and you can't be Joyce
So what is left instead

You're stuck with yourself and a rage that can hurt you
You have to start at the beginning again
And just this moment
This wonderful fire started up again

When you pass through humble, when you pass through sickly
When you pass through, I'm better than you all
When you pass through anger and self deprecation
And have the strength to acknowledge it all

When the past makes you laugh and you can savor the magic
That let you survive your own war
You find that that fire is passion
And there's a door up ahead, not a wall

- "Magic And Loss" The Summation — Lou Reed

Deprecation Quotes By Richard Baxter

Do you think none shall be saved but puritans(89)? — Richard Baxter

Deprecation Quotes By Christopher Hitchens

One notorious apikoros named Hiwa al-Balkhi, writing in ninth-century Persia, offered two hundred awkward questions to the faithful. He drew upon himself the usual thunderous curses - 'may his name be forgotten, may his bones be worn to nothing' - along with detailed refutations and denunciations by Abraham ibn Ezra and others. These exciting anathemas, of course, ensured that his worrying 'questions' would remain current for as long as the Orthodox commentaries would be read. In this way, rather as when Maimonides says that the Messiah will come but that 'he may tarry,' Jewishness contrives irony at its own expense. If there is one characteristic of Jews that I admire, it is that irony is seldom if ever wasted on them. — Christopher Hitchens

Deprecation Quotes By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Goodness, I was already a dork most of the times. I didn't need to be a drunk or high dork. — Jennifer L. Armentrout

Deprecation Quotes By Henri J.M. Nouwen

Humility is in reality the opposite of self-deprecation. It is the grateful recognition that we are precious in God's eyes and that all we are is pure gift. — Henri J.M. Nouwen

Deprecation Quotes By Jill Bolte Taylor

It would have been really easy, a thousand times a day, to feel as though I was less than who I was before. I had, after all, lost my mind and therefore had legitimate reason to feel sorry for myself. But fortunately, my right mind's joy and celebration were so strong that they didn't want to be displaced by the feeling that went along with self-deprecation, self-pity, or depression. Part of getting out of my own way meant that I needed to welcome support, love, and help from others. — Jill Bolte Taylor

Deprecation Quotes By Iain M. Banks

Strange that people are happy to adopt epithets they would fight to the death to throw off had they been imposed. — Iain M. Banks

Deprecation Quotes By Hannibal Buress

Comedy is basically self-deprecation. — Hannibal Buress

Deprecation Quotes By John Damascene

Had God kept from being made those who through His goodness were to have existence, but who by their own choice were to become evil, then evil would have prevailed over the goodness of God. Thus, all things which God makes He makes good, but each one becomes good or evil by his own choice. So, even if the Lord did say: 'It were better for him if that man had not been born,' He did not say so in deprecation of His own creature, but in deprecation of that creature's choice and rashness. — John Damascene

Deprecation Quotes By Mordecai Richler

Actually, when it comes to knocking the Canadian cultural scene, nobody outdoes Canadians, myself included. We are veritable masters of self-deprecation. — Mordecai Richler

Deprecation Quotes By A.G. Howard

Morpheus is not his true name. He is glory and deprecation - sunlight and shadows - the scuttle of a scorpion and the melody of a nightingale. The breath of the sea and the cannonade of a storm. Can you relay birdsong, or the sound of wind, or the scurry of a creature across the sand? For the proper names of netherlings are made up of the life forces defining them. Can you speak these things with your tongue? — A.G. Howard

Deprecation Quotes By Carrie Fisher

There's no room for demons when you're self-possessed. — Carrie Fisher

Deprecation Quotes By Nelson Algren

I couldn't buy the lice off a sick cat, the cabbie answered from the very depths of self-deprecation. — Nelson Algren

Deprecation Quotes By Sarah Dessen

So it just wasn't in my house. Anywhere, I looked like I knew about the toilet. — Sarah Dessen

Deprecation Quotes By Wislawa Szymborska

The buzzard has nothing to fault himself with.
Scruples are alien to the black panther.
Piranhas do not doubt the rightness of their actions.
The rattlesnake approves of himself without reservations.
The self-critical jackal does not exist.
The locust, alligator, trichina, horsefly
live as they live and are glad of it.
The killer whale's heart weighs one hundred kilos
but in other respects it is light.
There is nothing more animal-like
than a clear conscience
on the third planet of the Sun. — Wislawa Szymborska

Deprecation Quotes By Charlie Brooker

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which is a pity because this week the National Association of Beholders wrote to tell me that I've got a face like a rucksack full of dented bells. — Charlie Brooker

Deprecation Quotes By N.D. Walsch

Don't confuse humility with self-deprecation. — N.D. Walsch

Deprecation Quotes By Solange Nicole

It was clear to her now, Happiness was a seductive illusion. No one as fucked up as her deserved one drop of joy. But oh god was it delicious when it fell into her lap for a little while. (Such a pretty face) she muses (with such a bruised and battered soul). When the dawn of a promise fades into the dusk of reality, all that remains is the nightmare. Sweet, sweet loneliness. Shadows come to play and prey on her beaten mind. Her lovely little dreams of poison. — Solange Nicole

Deprecation Quotes By Stephenie Meyer

But it doesn't make sense for you to love me... — Stephenie Meyer

Deprecation Quotes By John Ringo

Is it just me or is this like a bad TV sci-fi show? — John Ringo

Deprecation Quotes By Patrick O'Brian

Virtue should always be colmingled with humor. — Patrick O'Brian

Deprecation Quotes By Jon Stewart

I think people are used to people in show business having a lot of hubris. I think I have a normal amount of self-loathing but because I'm in show business it's considered self-deprecation. In normal life I would just be considered your average neurotic. — Jon Stewart

Deprecation Quotes By Eleanor Catton

Deprecation always waits to be disputed, and, if the disputation does not come, becomes petulance. — Eleanor Catton

Deprecation Quotes By Charles M. Schulz

Winning isn't everything, but losing isn't anything. — Charles M. Schulz

Deprecation Quotes By Dmitri Shostakovich

I don't think that either self-deprecation or self-aggrandizement is among the defining qualities of an artist ... Beethoven could have been forgiven if his symphonies had gone to his head. Gretchaninoff could also be forgiven if his Dobrinya Nikititch went to his head. But neither one could be forgiven for writing a piece that was amoral, servile, the work of a flunky. — Dmitri Shostakovich

Deprecation Quotes By Lou Reed

Magic And Loss (The Summation)
They say no one person can do it all
But you want to in your head
But you can't be Shakespeare and you can't be Joyce
So what is left instead
You're stuck with yourself and a rage that can hurt you
You have to start at the beginning again
And just this moment
This wonderful fire started up again
When you pass through humble, when you pass through sickly
When you pass through, I'm better than you all
When you pass through anger and self deprecation
And have the strength to acknowledge it all
When the past makes you laugh and you can savor the magic
That let you survive your own war
You find that that fire is passion
And there's a door up ahead, not a wall — Lou Reed

Deprecation Quotes By Garance Dore

Deprecation Quotes By Norman Mailer

Every time I move I squash something said Loathesome. — Norman Mailer

Deprecation Quotes By Richie Norton

There is power born of humility ... Humility, in business and in life, is a powerful asset and does not denote lowliness, unimportance, or self-deprecation. — Richie Norton

Deprecation Quotes By Maggie Nelson

But this time, so far as I can tell, my mother has not made her husband her desire incarnate, though she does love him very much. And for his part, so far as I can tell, he doesn't try to talk her out of her self-deprecation, nor does he abet it. He simply loves her. I am learning from him. — Maggie Nelson

Deprecation Quotes By Terri E Apter

Adolescents swing from euphoric self-confidence and a kind of narcissistic strength in which they feel invulnerable and even immortal, to despair, self-emptiness, self-deprecation. At the same time they seem to see an emerging self that is unique and wonderful, they suffer an intense envy which tears narcissism into shreds, and makes other people's qualities hit them like an attack of lasers. — Terri E Apter

Lincoln said his spiky hair had "a way of getting up in the world". — Harold Holzer

Deprecation Quotes By Elaine Seiler

My challenge to you today is to observe your thoughts and internal dialogue and recognize if and when you speak poorly to yourself. We all have moments of self-deprecation and very often we are too hard on ourselves. Today, start to be caring and supportive of yourself. Observe that little voice in your head and say something positive to yourself instead! — Elaine Seiler

Deprecation Quotes By Jeff Garlin

First off, I don't do self-deprecation comedy based on being fat. I would always talk about it honestly. Secondly, I don't care how much I weigh. — Jeff Garlin

Deprecation Quotes By Richard Baxter

Remember with whom thou hast to do: what canst thou expect from dust but levity; or from corruption, but defilement(33)? — Richard Baxter
