More From Claude Monet

If i were advising president obama, since he's the one running, i would have made his campaign very simple. i promise that in four years, i will get more americans, as many as i possibly can, the opportunity and access to some form of post-secondary education. i want more of them to graduate high school with the skill-set of post-secondary education and i want more of them to be able to obtain that post-secondary education. this is the only way we are going to close the income gap.
Running School Opportunity
Good work is no done by "humble" men. it is one of the first duties of a professor, for example, in any subject, to exaggerate a little both the importance of his subject and his own importance in it. a man who is always asking "is what i do worth while?" and "am i the right person to do it?" will always be ineffective himself and a discouragement to others. he must shut his eyes a little and think a little more of his subject and himself than they deserve. this is not too difficult: it is harder not to make his subject and himself ridiculous by shutting his eyes too tightly.
Eye Hard Work Humble
I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of christmas. it is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages.
Sorry Lying Hatred
I am aware of the technical distinction between ‘less’ and ‘fewer’, and between ‘uninterested’ and ‘disinterested’ and ‘infer’ and ‘imply’, but none of these are of importance to me. ‘none of these are of importance,’ i wrote there, you’ll notice – the old pedantic me would have insisted on “none of them is of importance”. well i’m glad to say i’ve outgrown that silly approach to language
Silly Language Distinction
... nothing resembles reality less than the photograph. nothing resembles substance less than its shadow. to convey the meaning of something substantial you have to use not a shadow but a sign, not the limitation but the image. the image is a new and different reality, and of course it does not convey an impression of some object, but the mind of the subject; and that is something else again.
Reality Mind Shadow
When we die to something, something comes alive within us. if we die to self, charity comes alive; if we die to pride, service comes alive; if we die to lust, reverence for personality comes alive; if we die to anger, love comes alive.

Similar Quotes
Those who most obstinately oppose the most widely-held opinions more often do so because of pride than lack of intelligence. they find the best places in the right set already taken, and they do not want back seats.
Taken Pride Want
Let's stand up. let's speak with pride about our morals and our values and redouble our effort to elect more conservative republicans.
Pride Effort Moral
You can't have pride without humility. aggression without tolerance. strength without compassion. power without restraint.
Humility Pride Compassion
I hate the world and almost all the people in it. i hate the labour congress and the journalists who send men to be slaughtered, and the fathers who feel a smug pride when their sons are killed, and even the pacifists who keep saying human nature is essentially good, in spite of all the daily proofs to the contrary. i hate the planet and the human race—i am ashamed to belong to such a species.
Father Hate Pride
