More quotes by 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
Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically--to those who hardly think about us in return.
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
Life is too bitter already, without territories and wars and noble feuds
T. H. White
It seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough.
T. H. White
Middle-aged people can balance between believing in God and breaking all the commandments without difficulty.
T. H. White
It is good to put your life in other people's hands.
T. H. White
In war, our elders may give the orders...but it is the young who have to fight.
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
A lot of brainless unicorns swaggering about and calling themselves educated just because they can push each other off a horse with a bit of a stick! It makes me tired.
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
Unfortunately we have tried to establish Right by Might, and you can 't do that.
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
Now, in their love, which was stronger, there were the seeds of hatred and fear and confusion growing at the same time: for love can exist with hatred, each preying on the other, and this is what gives it its greatest fury.
T. H. White
[Kay] was not at all an unpleasant person really, but clever, quick, proud, passionate and ambitious. He was one of those people who would be neither a follower nor a leader, but only an aspiring heart, impatient in the failing body which imprisoned it.
T. H. White
I am an anarchist, like any other sensible person. ~ Merlyn
T. H. White
It is the bad people who need to have principles to restrain them.
T. H. White
Kay was older and bigger than the Wart, so that he was bound to win in the end, but he was more nervous and imaginative. He could imagine the effect of each blow that was aimed at him, and this weakened his defense. Wart was only an infuriated hurricane.
T. H. White
Aviators live by hours, not by days.
T. H. White
You could not give up a human heart as you could give up drinking. The drink was yours, and you could give it up: but your lover’s soul was not your own: it was not at your disposal you had a duty towards it.
T. H. White
