Merely to have survived is not an index of excellence.
Anthony Hecht
Image
Merely by being born intelligent, you right away find yourself in absolute exile.
Milan Kundera
Image
Merely that you start off with ideas buzzing around in your head, and then you try to give them the simpler, more graceful shape, of a feeling that a reader might share. You learn to sing with, not argue at, your possible readers.
Adam Gopnik
Image
Merely watching a romantic comedy causes relationship satisfaction to plummet. Apparently, the bitter realization that maybe it could happen to us, but it obviously hasn't and it probably never will, makes our lives seem unbearably grim in comparison.
Jenna McCarthy
Image
Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.
W. S. Gilbert
Image
Merely being human is morally significant.
Alice Crary
Image
Merely by describing yourself as black you have started on a road towards emancipation, you have committed yourself to fight against all forces that seek to use your blackness as a stamp that marks you out as a subservient being.
Steven Biko
Image
Merely having seen the season change in a country gave one the sense of having been there for a long time.
Willa Cather
Image
Merely looking at the world around us is immensely different from seeing it.
Frederick Franck
Image
Merely to see... is not enough. It is necessary to have a fresh, vivid, physical contact with the object you draw through as many of the senses as possible - and especially through the sense of touch.
Kimon Nicolaides
Image
Merely to exist is not enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Merely taking the profits from the hotels and putting those aside is not enough. They need to look at bank loans. They need to look at foreign banks leasing space in the Trump Tower.
Reince Priebus
Image
Merely complaining without proposing an alternative offers nothing.
Jacque Fresco
Image
Merely transferring the content of existing newspapers online and expecting payment won't work because they are two separate business concepts.
Robert G. Picard
Image
Merely presenting a driver's license or other document based on a birth certificate is not enough for an accurate verification. Biometric verification of identity must be made and then a data base of those persons who have legal status must be checked.
Bob Dole
Image
Merely gathering knowledge may become the most useless work a man can do. What can you do to help and heal the world? That is the educational test.
Henry Ford
Image
Merely to stuff the child with a lot of information, making him pass examinations, is the most unintelligent form of education.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Merely to live without a pain Is little gladness, little gain, Ah, welcome joy tho' mixt with grief-- The thorn-set flower that crowns the leaf.
Dan Simmons
Image
Merely that I have a World Wide Web page does not give me any power, any abilities, nor any status in the real world.
Clifford Stoll
Image
For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.
Plato
Image
I would like to like to make one thing clear at the very outset and that is, when you speak of a train robbery, this involved no loss of train, merely what I like to call the contents of the train, which were pilfered. We haven't lost a train since 1946, I believe it was - the year of the great snows when we mislaid a small one.
Peter Cook
Image
But if you ever bring her back damaged again - and I don't care whose fault it is I don't care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head - if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?
Stephenie Meyer
Image
The role of the intelligence - that part of us which affirms and denies and formulates opinions is merely to submit.
Simone Weil
Image
The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of anti-music.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
