How dismal is progress without publicity.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Depend on it, that from every...

Depend on it, that from every condition of distress or evil there is a great reaction, and the greater the evil or distress, the greater the reaction. If we do not get a reaction quick, we will get it long when it does come.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

People in general attach too ...

People in general attach too much importance to words. They are under the illusion that talking effects great results. As a matter of fact, words are, as a rule, the shallowest portion of all the argument. They but dimly represent the great surging feelings and desires which lie behind. When the distraction of the tongue is removed, the heart listens.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

If you have that unconquerable urge to write, nothing will stop you from writing.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

When a man, however passively...

When a man, however passively, becomes an obstacle to the fulfillment of a woman's desires, he becomes an odious thing in her eyes, - or will, given time enough.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

We are to have no pictures wh...

We are to have no pictures which the puritan and the narrow, animated by an obsolete dogma, cannot approve of. We are to have no theaters no motion pictures, no books, no public exhibitions of any kind, no speech even which will anyway contravene his limited view of life.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

When a girl leaves her home a...

When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Love is the only thing you can really give in all this world. When you give love, you give everything.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Morality and ethics are nothing but footballs, wherewith people, strong people play to win points.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

The Irish are a philosophic as well as a practical race. Their first and strongest impulse is to make the best of a bad situation to put a better face on evil than it normally wears.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

A real flame of love is a sub...

A real flame of love is a subtle thing. It burns as a will-o'-the-wisp, dancing onward to fairy lands of delight. It roars as a furnace. Too often jealousy is the quality upon which it feeds.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

I sacrifice to the God of Bea...

I sacrifice to the God of Beauty — the impulse to beauty in nature. Here are flowers. Here is wine spilled on the floor. I will burn incense & myrhh. I will kneel & strike my breast & touch the dust with my forehead. I will I will! Only do not forsake me, Oh God of beauty.

Why must women torment me so?...

Why must women torment me so?

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

If I were personally to define religion, I would say that it is a bandage that man has invented to protect a soul made bloody by circumstances. All forms of dogmatic religion should go. The world did without them in the past and can do so again. I cite the great civilizations of China and India.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

It isn't myself that's import...

It isn't myself that's important in this transaction apparently; the individual doesn't count much in the situation...all of us are more or less pawns. We're moved about like chessmen by circumstances over which we have no control.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Words are but the vague shado...

Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Assure a man that he has a so...

Assure a man that he has a soul and then frighten him with old wives' tales as to what is to become of him afterward, and you have hooked a fish, a mental slave.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Our civilization is still in ...

Our civilization is still in a middle stage, scarcely beast, in that it is no longer wholly guided by instinct; scarcely human, in that it is not yet wholly guided by reason.
