![Hardly Find Quotes By Edmund Vance Cooke Hardly Find Quotes By Edmund Vance Cooke](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-edmund-vance-cooke-875805.jpg)
You don't buy poetry. (Neither do I.)
Why?
You cannot afford it? Bosh! You spend
Editions de luxe on a thirsty friend.
You can buy any one of the poetry bunch
For the price you pay for a business lunch.
Don't you suppose that a hungry head,
Like an empty stomach, ought to be fed?
Looking into myself, I find this true, So I hardly can figure it false in you. — Edmund Vance Cooke
![Hardly Find Quotes By William Cowper Hardly Find Quotes By William Cowper](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-william-cowper-265154.jpg)
Ceremony leads her bigots forth, prepared to fight for shadows of no worth. While truths, on which eternal things depend, can hardly find a single friend. — William Cowper
![Hardly Find Quotes By Leigh Bardugo Hardly Find Quotes By Leigh Bardugo](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-leigh-bardugo-456538.jpg)
Matthias examined the posters. "One hundred thousand kruge!" He shot a disbelieving glower at Kaz. "You're hardly worth taht."
The hint of a smile tugged at Kaz's lips. "As the market wills it."
"Tell me about it," said Jesper. "They're only offering thirty thousand for me."
"Your lives are at stake," said Wylan. "How can you act like this is a competition?"
"We're stuck in a tomb, merchling. You take the action where you find it. — Leigh Bardugo
![Hardly Find Quotes By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Hardly Find Quotes By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-aleksandr-solzhenitsyn-1307083.jpg)
Without any censorship, in the West fashionable trends of thought and ideas are carefully separated from those which are not fashionable; nothing is forbidden, but what is not fashionable will hardly ever find its way into periodicals or books or be heard in colleges. Legally your researchers are free, but they are conditioned by the fashion of the day. — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
![Hardly Find Quotes By Christopher Isherwood Hardly Find Quotes By Christopher Isherwood](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-christopher-isherwood-512896.jpg)
And at this very moment, like a miracle, the rail-bus appeared. We waved our arms frantically, hardly daring to hope that it would stop. It did stop. We scrambled thankfully on board.
That is the irony of travel. You spend your boyhood dreaming of a magic, impossibly distant day when you will cross the Equator, when your eyes will behold Quito. And then, in the slow prosaic process of life, that day undramatically dawns - and finds you sleepy, hungry and dull. The Equator is just another valley; you aren't sure which and you don't much care. Quito is just another railroad station, with fuss about baggage and taxis and tips. And the only comforting reality, amidst all this picturesque noisy strangeness, is to find a clean pension run by Czech refugees and sit down in a cozy Central European parlor to a lunch of well-cooked Wiener Schnitzel. — Christopher Isherwood
![Hardly Find Quotes By K.M. Shea Hardly Find Quotes By K.M. Shea](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-k-m-shea-674949.jpg)
Britt Said "I'm glad."
Merlin nodded "If you're so glad then you should work to win over more of your men."
"Yes, Merlin."
"Don't you 'yes, Merlin' me!"
"Of course, Merlin."
"That's hardly any better."
"You don't think I know that?" "Harridan."
"I find it amusing that you resort to name calling when you can't think of anything better to say."
"Only to those who deserve it."
"Yes, Merlin. — K.M. Shea
![Hardly Find Quotes By Suzanne Brogger Hardly Find Quotes By Suzanne Brogger](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-suzanne-brogger-164244.jpg)
Femininity is wearing shoes that make it difficult to run, skirts that inhibit movement, and underclothes that interfere with blood circulation. It can hardly be coincidental that the clothes men find most flattering on a woman are precisely those that make it most difficult for her to defend herself against aggression. — Suzanne Brogger
![Hardly Find Quotes By Jan Karon Hardly Find Quotes By Jan Karon](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-jan-karon-498634.jpg)
Did I tell you how much I liked your sermon on Sunday?" "You did not, or I would have remembered it." "Well, it was glorious. You were very bold, I thought, to preach on sin. Hardly anyone wants to hear sin preached." "Mainstream Christianity glosses over the fact that it isn't just a question of giving up sin, but of doing something far more difficult - giving up our right to ourselves." He made the turn onto the busy highway toward Wesley, which always, somehow, seemed a shock to his senses. "The sin life in us must be transformed into the spiritual life." "How?" "Through sacrifice and obedience." She smiled ironically. "How do you think that will be received by those of us who come to sit in a comfortable pew and find a hot seat instead? "They'll just have to go across the street until I've finished preaching on that particular subject." She laughed with delight. "You're different these days." He laughed with her. "I pray so," he said. — Jan Karon
![Hardly Find Quotes By Holly Estil Cunningham Hardly Find Quotes By Holly Estil Cunningham](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-holly-estil-cunningham-1084086.jpg)
... it can hardly be over-exaggerated that speculative thinking is always drawn from the necessities of the time, that it is always practical, that it always shifts with the interests of the times, with the changes of social, economic, and political conditions, and finally, that it is vain to hope to find an eternal, fixed, and immutable system of philosophy, and still hope for progress. A fixed system is applicable only to a dead society. — Holly Estil Cunningham
![Hardly Find Quotes By Miranda July Hardly Find Quotes By Miranda July](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-miranda-july-1438921.jpg)
We were anxious to begin our life as people who had no people. And it was easy to find an apartment because we had no standards; we were just amazed that it was *our* door, *our* rotting carpet, *our* cockroach infestation ... We were excited about getting jobs; we hardly went anywhere without filling out an application. But once we were hired - as furniture sanders - we could hardly believe this was really what people did all day. Everything we had thought of as The World was actually the result of someone's job. Each line on the sidewalk, each saltine. Everyone had rotting carpet and a door to pay for. Aghast, we quit. There had to be a more dignified way to live. We needed time to consider ourselves, to come up with a theory about who we were and to set it to music. — Miranda July
![Hardly Find Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson Hardly Find Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-ralph-waldo-emerson-1204765.jpg)
There are faces so fluid with expression, so flushed and rippled by the play of thought, that we can hardly find what the mere features really are. When the delicious beauty of lineament loses its power, it is because a more delicious beauty has appeared, that an interior and durable form has been disclosed. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
![Hardly Find Quotes By Tom Robbins Hardly Find Quotes By Tom Robbins](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-tom-robbins-874675.jpg)
Can o'Beans was to remark that a comparison between the American Cowpoke and, say, the Japanese samurai, left the cowboy looking rather shoddy. 'Before a samurai went into battle,' Can o' Beans was to say, 'he would burn incense in his helmet so that if his enemy took his head, he would find it pleasant to his nose. Cowboys, on the other hand, hardly ever bathed or changed their crusty clothing. If a samurai's enemy lost his sword, the samurai gave him his extra one so that the fight might continue in a manner honorable and fair. The cowboy's specialty was to shoot enemies in the back from behind a bush. Do you begin to see the difference?' Spoon and Dirty Sock would wonder how Can o' Beans knew so much about samurai. 'Oh, I sat on the shelf next to a box of imported rice crackers for over a month,' Can o' Beans would explain. 'One can learn a lot conversing with foreigners. — Tom Robbins
![Hardly Find Quotes By San Juan De La Cruz Hardly Find Quotes By San Juan De La Cruz](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-san-juan-de-la-cruz-398478.jpg)
Many beginners also at times possess great spiritual avarice. They hardly ever seem content with the spirit God gives them. They become unhappy and peevish because they don't find the consolation they want in spiritual things. Many never have enough of hearing counsels, or learning spiritual maxims, or keeping them and reading books about them. They spend more time in these than in striving after mortification and the perfection of the interior poverty to which they are obliged. — San Juan De La Cruz
![Hardly Find Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon Hardly Find Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-sherrilyn-kenyon-525315.jpg)
You're going to throw me naked into a pit and make me drench myself in baby lotion, aren't you?" Bride
You live in New Orleans, where they can't even dig a grave. So tell me where I'm going to find this pit?" Vane
"It's an above ground pit." Bride
"Hardly secretive." Vane
"But possible," Bride — Sherrilyn Kenyon
![Hardly Find Quotes By Anthony Trollope Hardly Find Quotes By Anthony Trollope](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-anthony-trollope-815097.jpg)
The most deadly enemies of the Roman Catholics are they who love best their religion as Protestants. When we look to individuals we always find it so, though it hardly suits us to admit as much when we discuss these subjects broadly. — Anthony Trollope
![Hardly Find Quotes By E.F. Benson Hardly Find Quotes By E.F. Benson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-e-f-benson-880697.jpg)
Diva had "popped" into the grocer's. She always popped everywhere just now; she popped across to see a friend, and she popped home again; she popped into church on Sunday, and occasionally popped up to town, and Miss Mapp was beginning to feel that somebody ought to let her know, directly or by insinuation, that she popped too much. So, thinking that an opportunity might present itself now, Miss Mapp read the news-board outside the stationer's till Diva popped out of the grocer's again. The headlines of news, even the largest of them, hardly reached her brain, because it was entirely absorbed in another subject. Of course, the first thing was to find out by what train . . . — E.F. Benson
![Hardly Find Quotes By Djuna Barnes Hardly Find Quotes By Djuna Barnes](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-djuna-barnes-895680.jpg)
New York is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical American. — Djuna Barnes
![Hardly Find Quotes By Rachel Joyce Hardly Find Quotes By Rachel Joyce](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-rachel-joyce-1099013.jpg)
He had never been good at expressing himself. What he felt was so big it was difficult to find the words, and even if he could, it was hardly appropriate to write them to someone he had not contacted in twenty years. — Rachel Joyce
![Hardly Find Quotes By Victoria Chang Hardly Find Quotes By Victoria Chang](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-victoria-chang-931035.jpg)
My life all-around is really different than a lot of other poets. Not poets that are parents, too, but just that I can hardly find anyone who works in the industries that I've worked in. — Victoria Chang
![Hardly Find Quotes By Daniel Quinn Hardly Find Quotes By Daniel Quinn](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-daniel-quinn-874456.jpg)
What I said in Ishmael stands: There is no One Right Way to live. What we find among Leaver peoples is that each has a way that works well for them. We may not like one particular way, we may think it atrocious and cruel, but it's their way, not ours, and the most murderous culture in human history is hardly in a position to set itself up as the moral policeman of the world. — Daniel Quinn
![Hardly Find Quotes By Seneca The Younger Hardly Find Quotes By Seneca The Younger](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-seneca-the-younger-931673.jpg)
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open. — Seneca The Younger
![Hardly Find Quotes By Thomas Merton Hardly Find Quotes By Thomas Merton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-thomas-merton-870162.jpg)
To anyone who has full awareness of our "exile" from God, our alienation from this inmost self, and our blind wandering in the "region of unlikeness," this claim can hardly seem believable. Yet it is nothing else but the message of Christ calling us to awake from sleep, to return from exile, and find our true selves within ourselves, in that inner sanctuary which is His temple and His heaven, and (at the end of the prodigal's homecoming journey) the "Father's House. — Thomas Merton
![Hardly Find Quotes By Chris Lynch Hardly Find Quotes By Chris Lynch](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-chris-lynch-938946.jpg)
That's the beauty of the text, I find. You can key in things you would never say, and it hardly hurts a bit. — Chris Lynch
![Hardly Find Quotes By Vaclav Havel Hardly Find Quotes By Vaclav Havel](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-vaclav-havel-943045.jpg)
At one time, the state of culture in Czechoslovakia was described, rather poignantly, as a 'Biafra of the spirit' ... I simply do not believe that we have all lain down and died. I see far more than graves and tombstones around me. I see evidence of this in ... expensive books on astronomy printed in a hundred thousand copies (they would hardly find that many readers in the USA) ... — Vaclav Havel

![Hardly Find Quotes By Emily St. John Mandel Hardly Find Quotes By Emily St. John Mandel](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-emily-st-john-mandel-869758.jpg)
SOMETIMES THE TRAVELING SYMPHONY thought that what they were doing was noble. There were moments around campfires when someone would say something invigorating about the importance of art, and everyone would find it easier to sleep that night. At other times it seemed a difficult and dangerous way to survive and hardly worth it, especially at times when they had to camp between towns, when they were turned away at gunpoint from hostile places, when they were traveling in snow or rain through dangerous territory, actors and musicians carrying guns and crossbows, the horses exhaling great clouds of steam, times when they were cold and afraid and their feet were wet. — Emily St. John Mandel

expression. She threw Claudia a helpless glance. "The only time I get family news is from the boys, and you know I hardly ever hear from them." "When we find her," Erin said tearfully, "You'll get to meet her. I promise." They stared at each other in shared distress, the reunion caused - and ruined - by the same terrifying event. "I thought he'd just taken her out for a walk," said Erin. Tears welled up and spilled over. She sniffled into the — Sheila Lowe
![Hardly Find Quotes By Henry David Thoreau Hardly Find Quotes By Henry David Thoreau](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-henry-david-thoreau-854555.jpg)
Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit. — Henry David Thoreau
![Hardly Find Quotes By Thomas Jefferson Hardly Find Quotes By Thomas Jefferson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-thomas-jefferson-842837.jpg)
Any woodsman can tell you that in a broken and sundered nest, one can hardly find more than a precious few whole eggs. So it is with the family. — Thomas Jefferson
![Hardly Find Quotes By Renata Adler Hardly Find Quotes By Renata Adler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-renata-adler-826726.jpg)
Sometimes I think they are writers who do not write. That "writers write" is meant to be self-evident. People like to say it. I find it is hardly ever true. Writers drink. Writers rant. Writers phone. Writers sleep. I have met very few writers that write at all. — Renata Adler
![Hardly Find Quotes By Victor LaValle Hardly Find Quotes By Victor LaValle](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-victor-lavalle-1024331.jpg)
Shirley Jackson enjoyed notoriety and commercial success within her lifetime, and yet it still hardly seems like enough for a writer so singular. When I meet readers and other writers of my generation, I find that mentioning her is like uttering a holy name. — Victor LaValle
![Hardly Find Quotes By Charlotte Bronte Hardly Find Quotes By Charlotte Bronte](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-charlotte-bronte-1042076.jpg)
I had not seen "Pride and Prejudice," till I read that sentence of yours, and then I got the book. And what did I find? An accurate daguerreotyped portrait of a common-place face; a carefully fenced, highly cultivated garden, with neat borders and delicate flowers; but no glance of a bright, vivid physiognomy, no open country, no fresh air, no blue hill, no bonny beck. I should hardly like to live with her ladies and gentlemen, in their elegant but confined houses. — Charlotte Bronte
![Hardly Find Quotes By Charles Horton Cooley Hardly Find Quotes By Charles Horton Cooley](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-charles-horton-cooley-1267623.jpg)
In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable. — Charles Horton Cooley
![Hardly Find Quotes By Steven Weinberg Hardly Find Quotes By Steven Weinberg](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-steven-weinberg-1484429.jpg)
Premature as the question may be, it is hardly possible not to wonder whether we will find any answer to our deepest questions, any signs of the workings of an interested God, in a final theory. I think that we will not. — Steven Weinberg
![Hardly Find Quotes By L.M. Montgomery Hardly Find Quotes By L.M. Montgomery](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-l-m-montgomery-1469607.jpg)
It always amazes me to look at the little, wrinkled brown seeds and think of the rainbows in 'em," said Captain Jim. "When I ponder on them seeds I don't find it nowise hard to believe that we've got souls that'll live in other worlds. You couldn't hardly believe there was life in them tiny things, some no bigger than grains of dust, let alone colour and scent, if you hadn't seen the miracle, could you? — L.M. Montgomery
![Hardly Find Quotes By Patti Smith Hardly Find Quotes By Patti Smith](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-patti-smith-1432941.jpg)
My parents were very humanistic, but where we lived was not the cultural center of the world. Hardly. So I came to New York for two reasons: to find my own kin and also to get a job. And that's what I came to New York for in '67. — Patti Smith
![Hardly Find Quotes By Caragh M. O'Brien Hardly Find Quotes By Caragh M. O'Brien](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-caragh-m-obrien-1414131.jpg)
Why did you come?" Gaia asked, passing over his shirt.
"I wanted to see you," he said.
"That's all? No problem with the crims or anything?"
It seemed like so long ago that he'd left the crims to come into the village to find her. He fingered his shirt, which was all but dry. "No. Just you."
"You're awfully untalkative for a guy who came all this way to see me," she said. He glanced up again, seeing the concern in her eyes when she smiled at him. His loneliness began to thaw.
"You were amazing in there, you know," he said.
She shook her head, turning his hat in her hands. "I hope I didn't boss you around too much. I can get a little single-minded."
"Hardly at all. 'Take yer boots off and git yerself in here,'" he drawled. — Caragh M. O'Brien
![Hardly Find Quotes By Aleksandra Ninkovic Hardly Find Quotes By Aleksandra Ninkovic](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-aleksandra-ninkovic-1405323.jpg)
You went from my life right into my dreams,
i can hardly tell,If i'm cursed or blessed ;
I am sure things aren't always as they seem,
but i drift away,mesmerized, possessed.
Memories i have uncertain and fragile,
Is what i have left and i have no peace,
At dawn fades away,all that i imagine,
i crave for your closeness,i need more then this.
Perhaps you are meant to guide and inspire,
to be ever timeless in the veil of mist,
flowing through my being in flaming desire,
the one i can't reach and cannot resist.
My darling,unique,outstanding perfection,
so utterly complex you can't be recreated,
I may be unworthy of your smallest fraction,
But you've never loved,nor anticipated.
Every great passion is a work of fiction,
when we long for something that we cannot find,
Single thought of you is like an addiction,
yet,you're not exalted,except in my mind. — Aleksandra Ninkovic
![Hardly Find Quotes By Alain De Botton Hardly Find Quotes By Alain De Botton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-alain-de-botton-1404117.jpg)
To a shameful extent, the charm of marriage boils down to how unpleasant it is to be alone. This isn't necessarily our fault as individuals. Society as a whole appears determined to render the single state as nettlesome and depressing as possible: once the freewheeling days of school and university are over, company and warmth become dispiritingly hard to find; social life starts to revolve oppressively around couples; there's no one left to call or hang out with. It's hardly surprising, then, if when we find someone halfway decent, we might cling. — Alain De Botton
![Hardly Find Quotes By John Muir Hardly Find Quotes By John Muir](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-john-muir-1386164.jpg)
To the sane and free it will hardly seem necessary to cross the continent in search of wild beauty, however easy the way, for they find it in abundance wherever they chance to be. — John Muir
![Hardly Find Quotes By Learned Hand Hardly Find Quotes By Learned Hand](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-learned-hand-1365685.jpg)
The lawyer must either learn to live more capaciously or be content to find himself continuously less trusted, more circumscribed, till he becomes hardly more important than a minor administrator, confined to a monotonous round of record and routine, without dignity, inspiration, or respect. — Learned Hand
![Hardly Find Quotes By Seyyed Hossein Nasr Hardly Find Quotes By Seyyed Hossein Nasr](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-seyyed-hossein-nasr-1358837.jpg)
Only too often the works of such authors have been deliberately neglected or suppressed. A case in point is the work by D. Dewar called the Transformist Illusion, Murfreesboro, 1957, which has assembled a vast amount of palaeontological and biological evidence against evolution. The author who was an evolutionist in his youth wrote many monographs which exist in the libraries of comparative zoology and biology everywhere. But his last work, The Transformist Illusion , had to be published in Murfreesboro, Tennessee(!) and is not easy to find even in libraries that have all his earlier works. There is hardly any other field of science where such obscurantist practices are prevalent.
(note 21, p140) — Seyyed Hossein Nasr
![Hardly Find Quotes By Mortimer J. Adler Hardly Find Quotes By Mortimer J. Adler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-mortimer-j-adler-1330778.jpg)
Even a cursory perusal reveals a very great range of reference. There is hardly a single human action that has not been called - in one way or another - an act of love. Nor is the range confined to the human sphere. If you proceed far enough in your reading, you will find that love has been attributed to almost everything in the universe; that is, everything that exists has been said by someone either to love or to be loved - or both. — Mortimer J. Adler

Simon laughed heartily. "I'm afraid the rest of us have to find talents to get our women into bed. Of course once they're there, I have other talents that keep them right where they are."
"Handcuffs hardly count," Christian said offhandedly.
"If you mean the ladies cuffing me to the bed so they can explore Hunt Island," he said, rubbing his chest, " ... then point taken. These hands are capable of making any female climax by the mere brush of a pinky across her bare breast."
"I must have gone to the wrong island," I said with a private laugh. — Dannika Dark
![Hardly Find Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti Hardly Find Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-jiddu-krishnamurti-1257846.jpg)
If we try to listen we find it extraordinarily difficult, because we are always projecting our opinions and ideas, our prejudices, our background, our inclinations, our impulses; when they dominate, we hardly listen at all to what is being said ... One listens and therefore learns, only in a state of silence, in which this whole background is in abeyance, is quite; then, it seems to me, it is possible to communicate — Jiddu Krishnamurti
![Hardly Find Quotes By Mark Dvoretsky Hardly Find Quotes By Mark Dvoretsky](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-mark-dvoretsky-1206530.jpg)
It is hardly useful if you trustingly play through variation after variation from a book. It is a great deal more useful and more interesting if you take part actively in the analysis, find something yourself, and try to refute some of the author's conclusions. — Mark Dvoretsky
![Hardly Find Quotes By Alice Miller Hardly Find Quotes By Alice Miller](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-alice-miller-1196357.jpg)
Today it is hardly possible for any group to remain so isolated from others who have different values. Therefore it is necessary today for the individual to find support within himself. . . This strength within himself - through access to his own real needs and feelings and the possibility of expressing them - thus becomes crucially important for him on the one hand, and on the other made enormously more difficult through living in contact with various different value systems. These factors can probably explain the rapid increase of depression in our time and also the general fascination with various groups. — Alice Miller
![Hardly Find Quotes By Gaston Bachelard Hardly Find Quotes By Gaston Bachelard](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-gaston-bachelard-1154296.jpg)
Of course, a psychologist would find it more direct to study the inspired poet. He would make concrete studies of inspiration in individual geniuses. But for all that, would he experience the phenomena of inspiration? His human documentation gathered from inspired poets could hardly be related, except from the exterior, in an ideal of objective observations. Comparison of inspired poets would soon make us lose sight of inspiration. — Gaston Bachelard
![Hardly Find Quotes By Henry David Thoreau Hardly Find Quotes By Henry David Thoreau](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-henry-david-thoreau-1139668.jpg)
I have hardly begun to live on Staten Island yet; but, like the man who, when forbidden to tread on English ground, carried Scottish ground in his boots, I carry Concord ground in my boots and in my hat,
and am I not made of Concord dust? I cannot realize that it is the roar of the sea I hear now, and not the wind in Walden woods. I find more of Concord, after all, in the prospect of the sea, beyond Sandy Hook, than in the fields and woods. — Henry David Thoreau

That 'writers write' is meant to be self-evident. People like to say it. I find it is hardly ever true. Writers drink. Writers rant. Writers phone. Writers sleep. I have met very few writers who write at all. — Renata Adler
![Hardly Find Quotes By Gabriel Garcia Marquez Hardly Find Quotes By Gabriel Garcia Marquez](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-gabriel-garcia-marquez-1100937.jpg)
It was against all scientific reason for two people who hardly knew each other, with no ties at all between them, with different characters, different upbringings, and even different genders, to suddenly find themselves committed to living together, to sleeping in the same bed, to sharing two destinies that perhaps were fated to go in opposite directions. — Gabriel Garcia Marquez
![Hardly Find Quotes By Philip Pullman Hardly Find Quotes By Philip Pullman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-philip-pullman-737506.jpg)
Symbols and emblems were everywhere. Buildings and pictures were designed to be read like books. Everything stood for something else; if you had the right dictionary, you could read Nature itself.

First of all, I'll tell you who I'm not. I'm not your enemy, so you can put the sharp pointy objects away,' he responded in a light conversational tone, obviously not deterred by my abrasiveness, which only pissed me off more to know he didn't find me to be a threat at all.
'Well, first of all, I'll be the judge of that,' I cut him off before he could continue. 'And second of all, I'm not interested in who you're not,' I added.
'So you're saying you're interested in who I am?' He gave me a moment to process what he said before a smile broke on his face.
My cheeks flamed. 'Hardly. Just interested in whether or not I'll be seeing you around again,' I was seething and beginning to shake with indignation.
'So you want to see me again? — Alicia Deters

- Traveling is not always a question of money, but of courage. You spent a great part of your life going around the world like a hippie: what money did you have then? None. You could hardly afford the tickets, and nevertheless I believe they were some of the best years of your life - eating badly, sleeping at railway stations, unable to communicate because of the language, being forced to depend on others just in order to find some shelter to spend the night. — Paulo Coelho
![Hardly Find Quotes By Samuel Butler Hardly Find Quotes By Samuel Butler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/hardly-find-quote-by-samuel-butler-487415.jpg)
Pleasure, after all, is a safer guide than either right or duty. For hard as it is to know what gives us pleasure, right and duty are often still harder to distinguish and, if we go wrong with them, will lead us into just as sorry a plight as a mistaken opinion concerning pleasure. When men burn their fingers through following after pleasure they find out their mistake and get to see where they have gone wrong more easily than when they have burnt them through following after a fancied duty, or a fancied idea concerning right virtue. The devil, in fact, when he dresses himself in angel's clothes, can only be detected by experts of exceptional skill, and so often does he adopt this disguise that it is hardly safe to be seen talking to an angel at all, and prudent people will follow after pleasure as a more homely but more respectable and on the whole much more trustworthy guide. — Samuel Butler

The book was sloppily written in many parts (the words came too quickly and too easily) and there was hardly a noun in any sentence that was not holding hands with the nearest and most commonly available adjective - scalding coffee and tremulous fear are the sorts of thing you will find throughout.

It is properly said that the Devil can "quote Scripture to his purpose." The Bible is full of so many stories of contradictory moral purpose that every generation can find scriptural justification for nearly any action it proposes - from incest, slavery, and mass murder to the most refined love, courage, and self-sacrifice. And this moral multiple personality disorder is hardly restricted to Judaism and Christianity. You can find it deep within Islam, the Hindu tradition, indeed nearly all the world's religions. Perhaps then it is not so much scientists as people who are morally ambiguous. It — Carl Sagan

It is no small advantage to the holy life to "begin the day with God." The saints are wont to leave their hearts with Him over night, that they may find them with Him in the morning. Before earthly things break in upon us, and we receive impressions from abroad, it is good to season the heart with thoughts of God, and to consecrate the early and virgin operations of the mind before they are prostituted to baser objects. When the world gets the start of religion in the morning, it can hardly overtake it all the day. — Thomas Case

When you start reconnecting with these missing [parts of yourself], you tend to realize that, until then, you had never really been incarnated on the planet. You thought you were, but if one considers the totality of your being, you were hardly there. You were literally all over space. The result was that you were sleeping your life instead of living it. Only when a gathering of all the parts has taken place inside your heart can you be fully present and find your real purpose on earth. — Samuel Sagan

Sometimes you go through things that seem huge at the time, like a mysterious glowing cloud devouring your entire community. While they're happening, they feel like the only thing that matters and you can hardly imagine that there's a world out there that might have anything else going on. And then the glow cloud moves on. And you move on. And the event is behind you. And you may find, as time passes, that you remember it less and less. Or absolutely not at all, in my case. — Cecil Baldwin

I found it when I was getting the crushed bees for Merripen's poultice. I brought it back for you." He looked vaguely apologetic. "I meant to tell you about it earlier, but it slipped my mind."
Amelia stifled a laugh. The average man would hardly forget something like a cache box possibly containing treasure ... but to Cam, it probably had little more significance than a box of hazelnuts. "Only you," she said, "could go looking for bee venom and find hidden treasure." Lifting the box, she shook it gently, feeling the movement of weighty objects within. "Blast, it's locked." She reached in the wild disarray of her coiffure. Finding a hairpin, she handed it to him.
"Why do you assume I can pick a lock?" he asked, a sly flicker in his eyes.

The more I've learned in my life, the more acutely I've felt my hunger and blindness, and at the same time the closer I've felt to the end of hunger, the end of blindness. At times I've felt myself to be clinging onto the rim - of what I can hardly say without the risk of sounding ridiculous - only to slip and find myself deeper in the hole than ever.

True, there
are those in our league who take even less time. But they don't do any research. They do a
handful of the more well-known spots, cruise through without eating a thing, write brief
comments. It's their business, not mine. If I may be perfectly frank, I doubt that many writers
take as many pains as I do at this level of reportage. It's the kind of work that can break you if
you're too serious about it, or you can kick back and do almost nothing. The worst of it is,
whether you're earnest or you loaf, the difference will hardly show in the finished piece. On the
surface. Only in the finer points can you find any hint of the distinction — Haruki Murakami

I do not mean that there is anything intellectually contemptible in being formally "godless"
that is, in rejecting all religious dogmas and in refusing to believe in the God those dogmas describe.
One might very well conclude, for instance, that the world contains far too much misery for the pious idea of a good, loving, and just God to be taken very seriously, and that any alleged creator of the universe in which children suffer and die hardly deserves our devotion.
It is an affective
not a strictly logical
position to hold, but it is an intelligible one, with a certain sublime moral purity to it; I myself find it deeply compelling; and it is entirely up to each person to judge whether he or she finds any particular religion's answer to the "problem of evil" either adequate or credible. — David Bentley Hart

The world is full of men and women who work too much, sleep too little, hardly ever exercise, eat poorly, and are always struggling or failing to find adequate time with their families. We are in a perpetual hurry-constantly rushing from one activity to another, with little understanding of where all this activity is leading us ...

Sadly but, perhaps, not altogether unexpectedly this society has had very limited success in achieving what is supposed to be the justification for its existence
the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest possible number of people. In so far as its citizens are saved from the major anxieties and responsibilities which normally surround the business of being a man, they transfer what appears to be an unvarying human capacity for worry to the most trivial things, making mountains out of molehills on a vast scale; and they have 'nervous breakdowns' over problems which men and women living under sterner conditions would hardly find time to notice. — Charles Le Gai Eaton

Good way is to study Bible characters - take them right from the cradle to the grave. You find that skeptics often take one particular part of a man's life - say, of the life of Jacob or of David - and judge the whole by that. They say these men were queer saints; and yet God did not punish them. If you go right through these men's lives you will find that God did punish them, according to the sins they committed. A lady once said to me that she had trouble in reading the Bible, that she seemed to not feel the interest she ought. If you don't keep up your interest in one way, try another. Never think you have to read the Bible by courses. PROPER NAMES. Another interesting study is the meaning of proper names.

Is it possible to become friends with a butterfly?"

Burnout at its deepest level is not the result of some train wreck of examinations, long call shifts, or poor clinical evaluations. It is the sum total of hundreds and thousands of tiny betrayals of purpose, each one so minute that it hardly attracts notice. When a great ship steams across the ocean, even tiny ripples can accumulate over time, precipitating a dramatic shift in course.

There is hardly any political question in the United States that sooner or later does not turn into a judicial question. From that, the obligation that the parties find in their daily polemics to borrow ideas and language from the judicial system. Since most public men are or have formerly been jurists, they make the habits and the turn of ideas that belong to jurists pass into the handling of public affairs. The jury ends up by familiarizing all classes with them. Thus, judicial language becomes, in a way, the common language; so the spirit of the jurist, born inside the schools and courtrooms, spreads little by little beyond their confines; it infiltrates all of society, so to speak; it descends to the lowest ranks, and the entire people finishes by acquiring a part of the habits and tastes of the magistrate. — Alexis De Tocqueville

I squeezed her hand and said nothing. I knew little about Keats or his poetry, but I thought it possible that in his hopeless situation he would not have wanted to write precisely because he loved her so much. Lately I'd had the idea that Clarissa's interest in these hypothetical letters had something to do with our own situation, and with her conviction that love that did not find its expression in a letter was not perfect. In the months after we'd met, and before we'd bought the apartment, she had written me some beauties, passionately abstract in the ways our love was different from and superior to any that had ever existed. Perhaps that's the essence of a love letter, to celebrate the unique. I had tried to match her, but all that sincerity would permit me were the facts, and they seemed miraculous enough to me: a beautiful woman loved and wanted to be loved by a large, clumsy, balding fellow who could hardly believe his luck. — Ian McEwan

The fifth stage is one of waste and squandering. In this stage, the ruler wastes on pleasures and amusements the treasures accumulated by his ancestors, through excessive generosity to his inner circle. Also, he acquires bad low-class followers to whom he entrusts the most important matters of state, which they are not qualified to handle by themselves, not knowing which of them they should tackle and which they should leave alone. The ruler seeks to destroy the great clients of his people and followers of his predecessors. ( ... )Thus, he ruins the foundations his ancestors had laid and tears down what they had built up. In this stage, the dynasty is seized by senility and the chronic disease from which it can hardly ever rid itself, for which it can find no cure, and eventually it is destroyed. — Ibn Khaldun

I rested here with Cyril and Tom and these saucy boys. Then I came back at the unfashionable time of five o'clock, all agog, my dear; and what did I find?
