More quotes by T. H. White
Middle-aged people can balance between believing in God and breaking all the commandments without difficulty.
T. H. White
He did not like the grown-ups who talked down to him, but the ones who went on talking in their usual way, leaving him to leap along in their wake, jumping at meanings, guessing, clutching at known words, and chuckling at complicated jokes as they suddenly dawned. He had the glee of the porpoise then, pouring and leaping through strange seas.
T. H. White
If there is one thing I can't stand, it is stupidity. I always say that stupidity is the Sin against the Holy Ghost.
T. H. White
He was neither clever nor sensitive, but he was loyal--stubbornly sometimes, and even annoyingly and stupidly so in later life.
T. H. White
Life is too bitter already, without territories and wars and noble feuds
T. H. White
When shall I be dead and rid Of all the wrong my father did? How long, how long 'till spade and hearse Put to sleep my mother's curse?
T. H. White
We cannot build the future by avenging the past.
T. H. White
The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else do it wrong without comment.
T. H. White
Why can't you harness Might so that it works for Right? I know it sounds nonsense, but, I mean, you can't just say there is no such thing. The Might is there, in the bad half of people, and you can't neglect it. You can't cut it out but you might be able to direct it, if you see what I mean, so that it was useful instead of bad.
T. H. White
It is the bad people who need to have principles to restrain them.
T. H. White
You run a grave risk, my boy, said the magician, of being turned into a piece of bread, and toasted.
T. H. White
The destiny of man is an individualistic destiny.
T. H. White
You think education is something to be done when all else fails?
T. H. White
I am an anarchist, like any other sensible person. ~ Merlyn
T. H. White
The Destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees.
T. H. White
Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.
T. H. White
Believe me, the so-called primitive races who worshipped animals as gods were not so daft as people choose to pretend. At least they were humble. Why should not God have come to the earth as an earth-worm? There are a great many more worms than men, and they do a great deal more good.
T. H. White
The destiny of man is to unite, not to divide.
T. H. White
It seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough.
T. H. White
My boy, you shall be everything in the world, animal, vegetable, mineral, protista, or virus, for all I care-before I have done with you-but you will have to trust my superior backsight. The time is not yet ripe for you to be a hawk... so you may as well sit down for the moment and learn to be a human being.
T. H. White
