Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“We lose our bearings entirely by speaking of the ‘lower classes’ when we mean humanity minus ourselves.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“I might inform those humanitarians who have a nightmare of new and needless babies (for some humanitarians have that sort of horror of humanity) that if the recent decline in the birth-rate were continued for a certain time, it might end in there being no babies at all; which would console them very much.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“A fad or heresy is the exaltation of something which even if true, is secondary or temporary in its nature against those things which are essential and eternal, those things which always prove themselves true in the long run. In short, it is the setting up of the mood against the mind.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
Moderns have not the moral courage, as a rule, to avow the sincere spiritual bias behind their fads; they become insincere even about their sincerity. Most modern liberality consists of finding irreligious excuses for religious bigotry. The earlier type of bigot pretended to be more religious than he really was. The later type pretends to be less religious than he really is. He does not wear a mask of piety, but rather a mask of impiety
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“We have had no good comic operas of late, because the real world has been more comic than any possible opera.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The modern world is a crowd of very rapid racing cars all brought to a standstill and stuck in a block of traffic.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“When we step into the family, by the act of being born, we do step into a world which is incalculable, into a world which has its own strange laws, into a world which could do without us, into a world we have not made. In other words, when we step into the family we step into a fairy-tale.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.
Quote by -Coco Chanel
“In the words of so many daughters who don’t yet know that a female fate is not a personal fault, I told myself: I’m not going to be anything like my mother.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem

Quote by -Yahya Jammeh
“In retrospect, perhaps the biggest reason my mother was cared for but not helped for twenty years was the simplest: Her functioning was not that necessary to the world.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
It's kind of like some kind of church for me, playing live. Each show, good people from different pockets of the world come and open their soul and let their spirits mingle and dance. That energy comes up through me, and all I do is channel it; it's like a circular motion and very sacred.
Quote by -Xavier Rudd
“Her searches after knowledge were arbitrary and without context. It was as if she were shining a small flashlight of curiosity into the dark room of the world.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Don't think about making women fit the world -- think about making the world fit women." ”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.
Quote by -Woody Allen
“In retrospect, perhaps the biggest reason my mother was cared for but not helped for twenty years was the simplest: Her functioning was not that necessary to the world.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Like the spider spinning its web, we create much of the outer world from within ourselves. The universe is a joint product of the observer and the observed.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“This balance between tribe and individuality, community and uniqueness, was a surprise in a world that makes us think we have to make a choice between them.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“I think we each come out of the womb with some unique way of looking at the world and if we don't express it, we loose faith in ourselves.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“I could leave—because I could return. I could return—because I knew adventure lay just beyond an open door. Instead of either/or, I discovered a whole world of and.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“A man is morally free when...he judges the world, and judges other men, with uncompromising sincerity”
Quote by -George Santayana
“The contemporary world has turned its back on the attempt and even on the desire to live reasonably.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“What is the part of wisdom? To dream with one eye open; to be detatched from the world without being hostile to it; to welcome fugitive beauties and pity fugitive sufferings, without forgetting for a moment how fugitive they are.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“I like to walk about among the beautiful things that adorn the world; but private wealth I should decline, or any sort of personal possessions, because they would take away my liberty.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“O WORLD, thou choosest not the better part! It is not wisdom to be only wise,. And on the inward vision close the eyes,. But it is wisdom to believe the heart.”
Quote by -George Santayana
I'm not interested in playing characters who see the world through my prism. I think the journey of understanding any character is to see how they tick and how they differ from you.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
