Life is a God-damned, stinking, treacherous game and nine hundred and ninety-nine men out of a thousand are bastards.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Love is the only thing you can...

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

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

How dismal is progress without...

How dismal is progress without publicity.

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

If we are to extract any joy o...

If we are to extract any joy out of our span, we must think and plan and make things better not only for ourselves but for others, since joy for ourselves depends upon our joy in others and theirs in us.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

How true it is that words are ...

How true it is that words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Depend upon it; from every con...

Depend upon it; from every condition of distress or evil, there is a great reaction, and the greater the distress or evil, the greater the reaction.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

When a girl leaves her home at...

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

I have seen youths bright eyed...

I have seen youths bright eyed and fair groping after bubbles in rapture, and conceiving them diamonds and the glitter of fine jewels, until their hand closed over a something that was not to be felt nor longer seen, mere colored air.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Your writer, your scientist, y...

Your writer, your scientist, your chief official, all have lost the power to revive the early illusion concerning fame and high place. Their beauty and delight is like the mirage in the heavens, only plain to the eye outside; within is nothing.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Nature, machine-like, works de...

Nature, machine-like, works definitely and heartlessly, if in the main beautifully. Hence, if we, as individuals, do not make this dream of a god or what he stands for us real in our thoughts and deeds, then he is not real or true.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

We who feel that justice is no...

We who feel that justice is not being done have but one thing to do: that is fight, by argument, by example, by insistence on fair play wherever we have the power to do so. The rest is in the hands of the Lord, or nature, which swings, apparently, from one extreme to another.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Morality and ethics are nothin...

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

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

The strong man wants to be all...

The strong man wants to be allowed to DO; the little man wants to stop him.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

We are to have no pictures whi...

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

I will kneel and strike my bre...

I will kneel and strike my breast, then touch the dust with my forehead; I will, I will. Only do not forsake me, oh god of beauty.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

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

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

The true meaning of money yet ...

The true meaning of money yet remains to be popularly explained and comprehended.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Our civilization is still in a...

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.

Theodore Dreiser 55 quotes

Nothing is proved, all is perm...

Nothing is proved, all is permitted.
