Quotations by Subject: Love (162 quotes)

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

I have done some indiscreet things in my day, but this thing of playing myself for a prophet was the worst. Still, it had its ameliorations. A prophet doesn't have to have any brains. They are good to have, of course, for the ordinary exigencies of life, but they are no use in professional work. It is the restfulest vocation there is. When the spirit of prophecy comes upon you, you merely take your intellect and lay it off somewhere in a cool place for a rest, and unship your jaw and leave it alone; it will work itself. The result is prophecy.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
I believe that religion can make a well-rounded person, or it can make an idiot. What we've go going on here is an idiot.: Purchasing agent for Baylor Baptist University, Waco, Texas, commenting on David Koresh and the Branch Dividians
Whoever in discussion adduces authority uses not intellect but memory.: Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)
The test of an author is not to be found merely in the number of his phrases that pass current in the corner of newspapers...but in the number of passages that have really taken root in younger minds.: Thomas Higginson
Quotations (such as have point and lack triteness) from the great old authors are an act of reverence on the part of the quoter, and a blessing to a public grown superficial and external.: Louise Guiney
Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
A quotation, like a pun, should come unsought, and then be welcomed only for some propriety of felicity justifying the intrusion.: Robert Chapman
With just enough of learning to misquote.: Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
Confound those who have said our remarks before us.: Aelius Donatus
The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
