It is tragic that Howard Hughes had to die to prove that he was alive.
Walter Kane
Inside every man there is a poet who died young.
Stephan Kanfer
In my twenties, my pleasures tended to be physical. In my thirties, my pleasures tended to be intellectual. I can't say which was more exquisite.
Steve Kangas
Amateurs hope, professionals work.
Garson Kanin
Television, despite its enormous presence, turns out to have added pitifully few lines to the communal memory.
Justin Kaplan
Normally, children learn to gauge rather accurately from the tone of their parent's voice how seriously to take his threats. Of course, they sometimes misjudge and pay the penalty.
Louis Kaplan
Be careful: they have arms, and no alternatives.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
Our salvation is in striving to achieve what we know we'll never achieve.
Our job is like a baker's work -- his rolls are tasty as long as they're fresh; after two days they're stale; after a week, they're covered with mould and fit only to be thrown out.
We follow the mystics. They know where they are going. They, too, go astray, but when they go astray they do so in a way that is mystical, dark, and mysterious.
When man meets an obstacle he can't destroy, he destroys himself.
Do not be misled by the fact that you are at liberty and relatively free; that for the moment you are not under lock and key: you have simply been granted a reprieve.
In a society of little economic development, universal inactivity accompanies universal poverty. You survive not by struggling against nature, or by increasing production, or by relentless labor; instead you survive by expending as little energy as possible, by striving constantly to achieve a state of immobility.
Although a system may cease to exist in the legal sense or as a structure of power, its values (or anti-values), its philosophy, its teachings remain in us. They rule our thinking, our conduct, our attitude to others. The situation is a demonic paradox: we have toppled the system but we still carry its genes.
A population weakened and exhausted by battling against so many obstacles -- whose needs are never satisfied and desires never fulfilled -- is vulnerable to manipulation and regimentation. The struggle for survival is, above all, an exercise that is hugely time-consuming, absorbing and debilitating. If you create these anti-conditions, your rule is guaranteed for a hundred years.
First you destroy those who create values. Then you destroy those who know what the values are, and who also know that those destroyed before were in fact the creators of values. But real barbarism begins when no one can any longer judge or know that what he does is barbaric.
When is a crisis reached? When questions arise that can't be answered.
Don't be too busy earning a living to make any money.
Joe Karbo
The only things I regret... are the things I didn't do.
Success is a matter of viewpoint. The pessimist sees the bottle as half empty. The optimist sees it as half full.
If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. But I mean by vanity only that they appreciate their own worth. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.
Yousef Karsh
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
Casey Kasem
WARNING: Humor may be hazardous to your illness.
Ellie Katz
Neither irony or sarcasm is argument.
Samuel Butler
It's not dying for faith that's so hard, it's living up to it.
William Makepeace Thackeray
'Tis not the dying for a faith that's so hard... 'Tis the living up to it that's difficult.
Those who forgets their friends to follow those of a higher status are truly snobs.
People hate as they love, unreasonably.
There is no good in living in a society where you are merely the equal of everybody else. The true pleasure of life is to live with your inferiors.
It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.
I would rather make my name than inherit it.
Kindnesses are easily forgotten; but injuries! -- what worthy man does not keep those in mind?
If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men's failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal's natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?
'Tis strange what a man may do, and a woman yet think him an angel.
It is to the middle-class we must look for the safety of England.
Next to excellence, comes the appreciation of it.
Whenever he met a great man he groveled before him, and my-lorded him as only a free-born Briton can do.
The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.
