Quote by Raymond Chandler

The more you reason the less you create.

The more you reason the less you create.

Summary

This quote suggests that overanalyzing and relying too heavily on logic and reasoning can hinder one's ability to be creative. By overthinking and dissecting ideas, one may find themselves in a state of analysis paralysis, unable to actually create or bring their ideas to life. It advocates for a balance between rational thinking and intuition, reminding us that sometimes the best ideas and creations come from a place of spontaneity and imagination, rather than strict logical reasoning.

Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselve

Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either.

Alexander Smith

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

If we are suffering illness, poverty, or misfortune, we thin

If we are suffering illness, poverty, or misfortune, we think we shall be satisfied on the day it ceases. But there too, we know it is false; so soon as one has got used to not suffering one wants something else.

For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.

The trouble with the Labour Party leadership and the trade union leadership, they're quite willing to applaud millions on the streets of the Philippines or in Eastern Europe, without understanding the need to also produce millions of people on the streets of Britain.
