The nonviolent approach does n...
The nonviolent approach does not immediately change the heart of the oppressor. It first does something to the hearts and souls of those committed to it. It gives them new self-respect; it calls up resources of strength and courage that they did not know they had. Finally it reaches the opponent and so stirs his conscience that reconciliation becomes a reality.
The noblest spirit is most str...
The noblest spirit is most strongly attracted by the love of glory.
The Nightingale. His own image...
The Nightingale. His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg.

The next time someone asks you, "Hey, howdja get to be a homosexual anyway?" tell them, "Homosexuals are chosen first on talent, then interview... then the swimsuit and evening gown competition pretty much gets rid of the rest of them."
The next time it begins to rai...
The next time it begins to rain ... lie down on your belly, nestle your chin into the grass, and get a frog's-eye view of how raindrops fall . . . The sight of hundreds of blades of grass bowing down and popping back up like piano keys strikes me as one of the merriest sights in the world.

The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveler from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.

The Museum is not meant either...
The Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident or for the pilgrim to see with awe. It is meant for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of incongruous intellectual food in one indigestible meal.
The multitude will hardly beli...
The multitude will hardly believe the excessive force of education, and in the difference of modesty between men and women, ascribe that to nature, which is altogether owing to early instruction: Miss is scarce three years old, but she's spoke to every day to hide her leg, and rebuked in good earnest if she shows it; whilst little Master at the same age is bid to take up his coats, and piss like a man.
The multitude which is not bro...
The multitude which is not brought to act as a unity, is confusion. That unity which has not its origin in the multitude is tyranny.

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.

The most valuable gift I ever received was ... the gift of insecurity ... my father left us. My mother's love might not have prepared me for life the way my father's departure did. He forced us out on the road, where we had to earn our bread.

The most successful career mus...
The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent.
The most stringent protection ...
The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic... The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.

The most remarkable discovery made by scientists is science itself.
The most refined skills of col...
The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera -- and himself.
The most puzzling thing about ...
The most puzzling thing about TV is the steady advance of the sponsor across the line that has always separated news from promotion, entertainment from merchandising. The advertiser has assumed the role of originator, and the performer has gradually been eased into the role of peddler.

The most intellectual of men a...

The most important thing in th...
The most important thing in their lives was to have a lawsuit going. It was not a question of winning or losing it, and indeed it was vital to do neither, for otherwise the suit would be over and done with. A lawsuit was part of the personality, if not the only visible sign of it, to such an extent that there was often no real animosity between the litigants, because they both needed each other.
The most important thing in ma...

The most beautiful make-up of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.
The most beautiful emotion we ...
The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms -- this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men.

The most amazing thing about l...
The most amazing thing about little children ... was their fantastic adaptability.
The most absurd apology for au...
The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.
The most absurd and reckless a...
The most absurd and reckless aspirations have sometimes led to extraordinary success.
The mortal enemies of man are ...
The mortal enemies of man are not his fellows of another continent or race; they are the aspects of the physical world which limit or challenge his control, the disease germs that attack him and his domesticated plants and animals, and the insects that carry many of these germs as well as working notable direct injury. This is not the age of man, however great his superiority in size and intelligence; it is literally the age of insects.
The morns are meeker than they...
The morns are meeker than they were, The nuts are getting brown; The berry's cheek is plumper, The rose is out of town. The maple wears a gayer scarf, The field a scarlet gown. Lest I should be old-fashioned, I'll put a trinket on.

The more a human being feels himself a self, tries to intensify this self and reach a never-attainable perfection, the more drastically he steps out of the center of being.
The moral world is as little e...
The moral world is as little exempt as the physical world from the law of ceaseless change, of perpetual flux.
The moral immune system of thi...
The moral immune system of this country has been weakened and attacked, and the AIDS virus is the perfect metaphor for it. The malignant neglect of the last twelve years has led to breakdown of our country's immune system, environmentally, culturally, politically, spiritually and physically.
The moral flabbiness born of t...
The moral flabbiness born of the bitch-goddess SUCCESS. That - with the squalid interpretation put on the word success - is our national disease.
The moon is nothing but a circ...
The moon is nothing but a circumambulating aphrodisiac divinely subsidized to provoke the world into a rising birth-rate.
The moon is like a mystery nov...
The moon is like a mystery novel, the sun like a motivational self-help book, and the stars a coffee table book of photography. The sky is the whole library, and God the librarian.
The moon is a white strange wo...
The moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space I shall never fully know. But the moon that pulls the tides, and the moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. When we describe the moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.
The monster of advertisement.....
The monster of advertisement... is a sort of octopus with innumerable tentacles. It throws out to right and left, in front and behind, its clammy arms, and gathers in, through its thousand little suckers, all the gossip and slander and praise afloat, to spit out again at the public.
The moment you have in your he...
The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.
The moment when you first wake...
The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.
The moment we pass out of our ...
The moment we pass out of our habits we lose all sense of permanency and routine.
The moment we indulge our affe...
The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennui s, vanish, all duties even.

The moment that any life, however good, stifles you, you may be sure it isn't your real life.
The moment that an artist take...
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist, and becomes a dull or an amusing craftsman, an honest or dishonest tradesman.

The moment she had laid the ch...
The moment she had laid the child to the breast both became perfectly calm.
The moment one definitely comm...
The moment one definitely commits oneself, the Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred. A stream of events issues from the decision, raising unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
The moment of victory is much ...
The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
The moment of truth, the sudde...
The moment of truth, the sudden emergence of a new insight, is an act of intuition. Such intuitions give the appearance of miraculous flushes, or short-circuits of reasoning. In fact they may be likened to an immersed chain, of which only the beginning and the end are visible above the surface of consciousness. The diver vanishes at one end of the chain and comes up at the other end, guided by invisible links.
The moment of enlightenment is...
The moment of enlightenment is when a person's dreams of possibilities become images of probabilities.
The moment at which two people...
The moment at which two people, approaching from opposite ends of a long passageway, recognize each other and immediately pretend they haven t. This is to avoid the ghastly embarrassment of having to continue recognizing each other the whole length of the corridor.
The moment an individual can a...
The moment an individual can accept and forgive himself, even a little, is the moment in which he becomes to some degree lovable.
The moment a question comes to...
The moment a question comes to your mind, see yourself mentally taking hold of it and disposing of it. In that moment... you learn to become the decider and not the vacillator. Thus you build character.
The moment a mere numerical su...
The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights -- that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.
The moment a man claims a righ...
The moment a man claims a right to control the will of a fellow being by physical force, he is at heart a slaveholder.

The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.
The moment a child is born, th...
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
The modern world belongs to th...
The modern world belongs to the half-educated, a rather difficult class, because they do not realize how little they know.
The modern woman is the curse ...
The modern woman is the curse of the universe. A disaster, that's what. She thinks that before her arrival on the scene no woman ever did anything worthwhile before, no woman was ever liberated until her time, no woman really ever amounted to anything.
The modern sympathy with inval...
The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others.
The modern picture of the arti...
The modern picture of the artist began to form: The poor, but free spirit, plebeian but aspiring only to be classless, to cut himself forever free from the bonds of the greedy bourgeoisie, to be whatever the fat burghers feared most, to cross the line wherever they drew it, to look at the world in a way they couldn't see, to be high, live low, stay young forever -- in short, to be the bohemian.
The modern conservative is eng...
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
The modern banking system manu...
The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight-of-hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin... But if you want to continue to be slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers continue to create money and control credit.
The modern airplane creates a ...
The modern airplane creates a new geographical dimension. A navigable ocean of air blankets the whole surface of the globe. There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
The mob is man voluntarily des...
The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.
The mob is a sort of bear; whi...
The mob is a sort of bear; while your ring is through its nose, it will even dance under your cudgel; but should the ring slip, and you lose your hold, the brute will turn and rend you.
The missionary is no longer a ...
The missionary is no longer a man, a conscience. He is a corpse, in the hands of a confraternity, without family, without love, without any of the sentiments that are dear to us. Emasculated, in a sense, by his vow of chastity, he offers us the distressing spectacle of a man deformed and impotent or engaged in a stupid and useless struggle with the sacred needs of the flesh, a struggle which, seven times out of ten, leads him to sodomy, the gallows, or prison.
The mission of the United Stat...
The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.
The Miss America contest is th...
The Miss America contest is the most perfectly rendered theater in our culture, for it so perfectly captures what we yearn for: a low-class ritual, a polished restatement of vulgarity, that wants to open the door to high-class respectability by way of plain middle-class anxiety and ambition.
The miser and the glutton are ...
The miser and the glutton are two facetious buzzards: one hides his store, and the other stores his hide.
The mirror is the conscience o...
The mirror is the conscience of women; they never do a thing without first consulting it.
The miracle, or the power, tha...
The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit.
The miracle, of course, was no...
The miracle, of course, was not that the oil for the sacred light - in a little cruse - lasted as long as they say; but that the courage of the Maccabees lasted to this day: let that nourish my flickering spirit.
The miracle of the GAA is that...
The miracle of the GAA is that it works so well despite itself. Paranoia, self-doubt, trenchant conservatism, fear of outside sports and veneration of the past are all key parts of the GAA psyche. In order to love the GAA, you have to swallow these faults whole. Keith Duggan
The miracle is not to fly in t...
The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.

The minute a phrase becomes current, it becomes an apology for not thinking accurately to the end of the sentence.
The minority, the ruling class...
The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them.
The minds of people are so clu...
The minds of people are so cluttered up with every-day living these days that they don't, or won't, take time out for a little prayer-for mental cleansing, just as they take a bath for physical, outer cleansing. Both are necessary.
The mind, this globe of awaren...
The mind, this globe of awareness, is a starry universe that when you push off with your foot, a thousand new roads become clear, as you yourself do at dawn, sailing through the light
The mind, once expanded to the...
The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.
The mind, in proportion as it ...
The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.
The mind, ever the willing ser...
The mind, ever the willing servant, will respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is a command to deliver mental resources.
The mind which renounces, once...
The mind which renounces, once and forever, a futile hope, has its compensations in ever-growing calm.
The mind that finds its way to...
The mind that finds its way to wild places is the poet's; but the mind that never finds its way back is the lunatic's.
The mind that does not underst...
The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other.
The mind supplies the idea of ...
The mind supplies the idea of a nation, but what gives this idea its sentimental force is a community of dreams.

The mind of the most logical t...
The mind of the most logical thinker goes so easily from one point to another that it is not hard to mistake motion for progress.
The mind of man works with str...
The mind of man works with strangeness upon the body of time. An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented by the timepiece of the mind by one second.
The mind of man is capable of ...
The mind of man is capable of anything - because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future.
The mind of a bigot is like th...
The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.

The mind is the most capriciou...
The mind is the most capricious of insects - flitting, fluttering.
The mind is the limit. As long...

The mind is seldom quickened t...
The mind is seldom quickened to very vigorous operations but by pain, or the dread of pain. We do not disturb ourselves with the detection of fallacies which do us no harm.
The mind is refrigerated by in...
The mind is refrigerated by interruption; the thoughts are diverted from the principle subject; the reader is weary, he suspects not why; and at last throws away the book, which he has too diligently studied.
The mind is like an iceberg, i...
The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water.
The mind is like a trunk: if ...
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing; if ill-packed, next to nothing.
The mind is its own place, and...
The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
The mind is found most acute a...
The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity-a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.
The mind I love must have wild...
The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind.
The mind has great influence o...
The mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin there.
The mind can weave itself warm...
The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.
The mind can store an estimate...

The mice consult how to preser...
The mice consult how to preserve their fate By timely notice of th' approaching cat. We'll hang a bell about her neck, cried one; A third replied - but who shall put it on? Moral: Good counsel's easy given, but the effect Oft renders it uneasy to transact.

The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
The men who have guided the de...
The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances. If there is any reaction, both are transformed.
The meeting of two eternities,...
The meeting of two eternities, the past and future....is precisely the present moment.
The meeting in the open of two...
The meeting in the open of two dogs, strangers to each other, is one of the most painful, thrilling, and pregnant of all conceivable encounters; it is surrounded by an atmosphere of the last canniness, presided over by a constraint for which I have no precise name; they simply cannot pass each other, their mutual embarrassment is frightful to behold.
The Mediterranean has the colo...
The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don't always know if it is green or violet, you can't even say it's blue, because the next moment the changing reflection has taken on a tint of rose or gray.

The medicalization of early di...
The medicalization of early diagnosis not only hampers and discourages preventative health-care but it also trains the patient-to-be to function in the meantime as an acolyte to his doctor. He learns to depend on the physician in sickness and in health. He turns into a life-long patient.
The media no longer ask those ...
The media no longer ask those who know something to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.
The medals don't mean anything...

The measure of an enthusiasm m...
The measure of an enthusiasm must be taken between interesting events. It is between bites that the lukewarm angler loses heart.
The measure of achievement is ...
The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It's doing something that you appreciate, something you believe is worthwhile. I think of my strawberry souffle. I did that at least twenty-eight times before I finally conquered it.

The meaning of life is not an ...
The meaning of life is not an unquestionable answer; it is an unanswerable question.

The maxim ""Nothing avails but perfection"" may be spelled ""Paralysis.""
The mathematics are usually co...
The mathematics are usually considered as being the very antipodes of Poesy. Yet Mathesis and Poesy are of the closest kindred, for they are both works of the imagination.
The mathematics are distinguis...
The mathematics are distinguished by a particular privilege, that is, in the course of ages, they may always advance and can never recede.
The materials of city planning...
The materials of city planning are sky, space, trees, steel and cement in that order and in that hierarchy.
The mastery of nature is vainl...
The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self-mastery.
The master of a single trade c...
The master of a single trade can support a family. The master of seven trades cannot support himself. The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.

The mass never comes up to the standard of its best member, but on the contrary degrades itself to a level with the lowest.
The mass believes that it has ...
The mass believes that it has the right to impose and to give force of law to notions born in the cafT.
The masculine imagination live...
The masculine imagination lives in a state of perpetual revolt against the limitations of human life. In theological terms, one might say that all men, left to themselves, become gnostics. They may swagger like peacocks, but in their heart of hearts they all think sex an indignity and wish they could beget themselves on themselves. Hence the aggressive hostility toward women so manifest in most club-car stories.
The marvels - of film, radio, ...
The marvels - of film, radio, and television - are marvels of one-way communication, which is not communication at all.
The martyr cannot be dishonore...
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
The marriage state, with or wi...
The marriage state, with or without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.
The marriage of reason and nig...
The marriage of reason and nightmare which has dominated the 20th century has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape move the specters of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy. Thermonuclear weapons systems and soft drink commercials coexist in an overlit realm ruled by advertising and pseudo-events, science and pornography. Over our lives preside the great twin leitmotifs of the 20th century -- sex and paranoia.
The marriage of convenience ha...
The marriage of convenience has this to recommend it: we are better judges of convenience than we are of love.
The marks you receive in the s...
The marks you receive in the school of experience are mostly bruises.
The mark of solitude is silenc...
The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech.
The mark of highest originalit...
The mark of highest originality lies in the ability to develop a familiar idea so fruitfully that it would seem no one else would ever have discovered so much to be hidden in it.
The mark of genius is an inces...
