What then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared For there to be an equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal, who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him, and who from that moment onward had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life. – Albert CamusRate it:
What then is the American, this new man? He is either an European, or the descendant of an European, hence that strange misture of blood, which you will find in no other country. I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a french woman, and whose present four sons have now four wives of different nations. He is an American. – Michel-Guillaume Jean de Crevecoeur, Letters from an American Farmer III: What is an American?Rate it:
What they do in heaven we are ignorant of; what they do not do we are told expressly. – Jonathan SwiftRate it:
What this country needs is more free speech worth listening to. – Hansell B. DuckettRate it:
What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists...and it becomes available only when you are in that state of mind in which you know EXACTLY what you want...and are fully determined not to quit until you get it. – Alexander Graham BellRate it:
What though the radiance which was once so bright Be not forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower Strength in what remains behind, In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be, In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of Human suffering, In the faith that looks through death In years that bring philophic mind. – William WordsworthRate it:
What though the radiance which was once so bright Be not forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;Grief not, rather find, Strength in what remains behind, In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be, In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of Human suffering, In the faith that looks through death In years that bring philophic mind. – William WordsworthRate it:
What time has been wasted during man's destiny in the struggle to decide what man's next world will be like The keener the effort to find out, the less he knew about the present one he lived in. – Sean O'CaseyRate it:
What torments my soul is its loneliness. The more it expands among friends and the daily habits or pleasures, the more, it seems to me, it flees me and retires into its fortress. The poet who lives in solitude, but who produces much, is the one who enjoys those treasures we bear in our bosom, but which forsake us when we give ourselves to others. When one yields oneself completely to one's soul, it opens itself to one, and then it is that the capricious thing allows one the greatest of good fortunes... that of sympathizing with others, of studying itself, of painting itself constantly in its works. – Eugène DelacroixRate it:
What torture, this life in society! Often someone is obliging enough to offer me a light, and in order to oblige him I have to fish a cigarette out of my pocket. – Karl KrausRate it:
What treaty have the Sioux made with the white man that we have broken? Not one. What treaty have the white man ever made with us that they have kept? Not one. When I was a boy the Sioux owned the world. The sun rose and set on their land they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today who slew them? Where are our lands? Who owns them? What law have I broken? Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am a Sioux? Because I was born where my father lived? Because I would die for my people and my country? – Sitting BullRate it:
What type of fasteners are used on horseshoes? braided Cotton, wang leather, cotton shoe laces, or velcro? – f.m. Faber Jr.Rate it:
What use are cartridges in battle I always carry chocolate instead. – George Bernard ShawRate it:
What used to be called liberal is now called radical, what used to be called radical is now called insane, what used to be called reactionary is now called moderate, and what used to be called insane is now called solid conservative thinking. – Tony KushnerRate it:
What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It's a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter. – Kurt VonnegutRate it:
What was hard to endure is sweet to recall. – French ProverbRate it:
What was significant about the laughter . . . was not just the fact that it provides internal exercise for a person . . .a form of jogging for the innards, but that it creates a mood in which the other positive emotions can be put to work, too. – Norman CousinsRate it:
What Washington needs is adult supervision. – Barack ObamaRate it:
What we all hope in reaching for a book, is to meet a man of our own heart, to experience tragedies and delights which we ourselves lack the courage to invite, to dream dreams which will render life more hallucinating, perhaps also to discover a philosophy of life which will make us more adequate in meeting the trials and ordeals which beset us. To merely add to our store of knowledge or improve our culture, whatever that may mean, seems worthless to me. – Henry MillerRate it:
What we all want is public safety. We don't want rhetoric that's framed through ideology. – Kamala HarrisRate it:
What we anticipate seldom occurs what we least expected generally happens. – Benjamin DisraeliRate it:
What we are doing at the moment is more that just one thing added to the rest; it is a memoir. – Author UnknownRate it:
What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books. – Thomas CarlyleRate it:
What we call 'morals' is simply blind obedience to words of command. – Henry Havelock EllisRate it:
