NOW is a fact that cannot be dodged.

I have faith in Faith, I have reverence for all true Reverence.

Fine, large, meaningless, gene...

Fine, large, meaningless, general terms like romance and business can always be related. They take the place of thinking, and are highly useful to optimists and lecturers.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

The greatest mystery about a h...

The greatest mystery about a human being is not his reaction to sex or praise, but the manner in which he contrives to put in twenty-four hours a day. It is this which puzzles the longshoreman about the clerk, the Londoner about the bushman.

If travel were so inspiring and informing a business ... then the wisest men in the world would be deck hands on tramp steamers.

Vast is the power of cities to reclaim the wanderer.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

I have for myself no conceivable complaint to make, and yet for American literature in general, and its standing in a country where industrialism and finance and science flourish and the only arts that are vital and respected are architecture and the film, I have a considerable complaint.

Since dictating the Bible, and hiring a perfect race of ministers to explain it, God has never done much but creep around and try to catch us disobeying it.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

There are so many people in the world who are eager to do for you things that you do not wish done, provided only that you will do for them things that you don't wish to do.

Curiously, neither God nor the devil may wear modern dress, but must retain Grecian vestments.

Think how much better it is to criticize conventional customs if you yourself live up to them, scrupulously.

I must say I'm not very fond of oratory that's so full of energy it hasn't any room for facts.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

So much in a revolution is nothing but waiting.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

I am convinced that everything...

I am convinced that everything that is worth while in the world has been accomplished by the free, inquiring, critical spirit, and that the preservation of this spirit is more important than any social system whatsoever. But the men of ritual and the men of barbarism are capable of shutting up the men of science and silencing them forever.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

Under a tyranny, most friends ...

Under a tyranny, most friends are a liability. One quarter of them turn 'reasonable' and become your enemies, one quarter are afraid to speak, and one quarter are killed and you die with them. But the blessed final quarter keep you alive.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

Indians, of course, have no 'theology,' and indeed no word for the system of credulity in which the white priests arrange for God, who must be entirely bewildered by it, a series of excuses for his failures.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

Fortune has dealt with me rath...

Fortune has dealt with me rather too well. I have known little struggle, not much poverty, many generosities. Now and then I have, for my books or myself, been somewhat warmly denounced -- there was one good pastor in California who upon reading my Elmer Gantry desired to lead a mob and lynch me, while another holy man in the state of Maine wondered if there was no respectable and righteous way of putting me in jail.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

Life is hard and astonishingly...

Life is hard and astonishingly complicated.... No one great reform will make it easy. Most of us who work -- or want to work -- will always have trouble or discontent. So we must learn to be calm, and train all our faculties, and make others happy.

Sinclair Lewis 122 quotes

When you think that most of us...

When you think that most of us are doomed by divine grace to roast in hell, to say nothing of mortgages and hail and bad crops and extravagant womenfolks, 'tain't any laughing matter!
