“The ignorant frighten children with ghosts, and the better educated assure them there is no such thing. Our understanding may believe the latter, but our instincts believe the former; so that, out of this education, we retain the terror, and just believe enough to make it very troublesome whenever we are placed in circumstances that awaken it.” BelieveMayChildrenEnoughUnderstandingCircumstancesInstinctTerrorGhostIgnorantEducatedFormerLatterTroublesomeJust Believe Book:The night-side of nature; or, Ghosts and ghost-seers Source: The night-side of nature; or, Ghosts and ghost-seers
“You must believe in your own instincts and your own instincts at any particular time and believe that they were the right ones for any given situation. So, there's no point ever of kind of regretting something because you can't properly remember the exact circumstances in which you were playing out this particular scene. You have to believe in your intuition and your instinct at that moment.” BelieveKindMomentsRememberGivenSituationParticularRegretCircumstancesSceneInstinctIntuitionThat MomentBelieve In YouNo Point Author:Dominic Cooper
“I think boxing is a singular sport, because the stakes are so high and because it just appeals to people's primal instincts. It's a life and death sport, and it's a sport of sacrifice. It's a humbling sport, and people are coming from humbling circumstances. It's always fun to watch a person that's come from nothing to having everything and losing it again.” PeopleThinkingFunSportsSacrificeCircumstancesLosingInstinctBoxingLife And DeathHumbling Author:Aaron Eckhart
“When I make a movie, I don't break it down and analyze it. I could but it would get in the way of doing a job - on instinct based on all the research we did going in. you want to trust yourself and your director and your acting partners in the circumstances you're shooting. I don't like to have any kind of overview.” WayWantKindJobsActingBreakCircumstancesDirectorsResearchDown AndInstinctPartnersShootingTrust YourselfOverview Author:Viggo Mortensen
“Wimsey stooped for an empty sardine-tin which lay, horribly battered, at his feet, and slung it idly into the quag. It struck the surface with a noice like a wet kiss, and vanished instantly. With that instinct which prompts one, when depressed, to wallow in every circumstance of gloom, Peter leaned sadly against the hurdles and abandoned himself to a variety of shallow considerations upon (1) The vanity of human wishes; (2) Mutability; (3) First love; (4) The decay of idealism; (5) The aftermath of the Great war; (6) Birth-control; and (7) The fallacy of free-will.” FirstsHumansWarWishFeetBirthCircumstancesKissingEmptyLaysInstinctSurfaceVarietyVanityConsiderationFree WillAbandonedPeterWetDecayFirst LoveIdealismShallowGloomFallacyBirth ControlGreat WarPromptsAftermathTinHurdleBatteredMutabilitySardines Author:Dorothy L.

“Love is rather impotent and pitiful: My father must have told me a million times how much he loved me, but that emotion - assuming it was even real - hardly had the strength to counter the many other acts of wrong he committed against me. Contrary to romance novels and the love-conquers-all mentality that even those of us who grow up in an era of divorce are - in response to some atavistic instinct - still raised to believe, love is always a product and a victim of circumstances. It is fragile and small.” BelieveStillsRealRomanceFatherGrowsLove IsEmotionMillionsNovelGrowing UpProductsCircumstancesVictimAssumingInstinctResponseRaisedCommittedDivorceContraryConquerErasFragileMentalityRomance NovelPitifulBelieve In LoveLove Conquers AllVictims Of Circumstance Author:Elizabeth Wurtzel
