From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
Image
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
Roald Dahl
Image
Out of the crooked timber of humanity, nothing completely straight was ever made
Isaiah Berlin

Crooked cards and straight whiskey, Slow horses and fast women.
Kenneth Rexroth
Image
My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?
C. S. Lewis

You know there's no crooked politicians. There's never a lie because there is never any truth.
Lenny Bruce

The desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews Not to be born is the best for man The second best is a formal order The dance's pattern, dance while you can. Dance, dance, for the figure is easy The tune is catching and will not stop Dance till the stars come down from the rafters Dance, dance, dance till you drop.
W. H. Auden
Image
A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
Edward Abbey
Image
Death lays his icy hand on kings.
James Shirley
Image
The glories of our blood and state, Are shadows, not substantial things There is no armour against fate, Death lays his icy hand on kings. Scepter and crown must tumble down, And, in the dust, be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
James Shirley
Image
You can't trust water: Even a straight stick turns crooked in it.
W. C. Fields

Conditioning obstructs our view of reality. We do not see IT in its suchness because of our indoctrination, crooked and twisted.
Bruce Lee
Image
Crooked things may be as stiff and unflexible as streight: and Men may be as positive and peremptory in Error as in Truth.
John Locke
Image
Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances.
Steve Allen
Image
Error is a hardy plant it flourisheth in every soil In the heart of the wise and good, alike with the wicked and foolish For there is no error so crooked, but it hath in it some lines of truth.
Martin Farquhar Tupper
Image
You are as crooked as a bank robber if you do not pay your debts on time.
Jack Hyles

Machiavelli, however, took his bearings from people as they are. He defined the political project as making the best of this flawed material. He knew (in words Kant would write almost three centuries later) that nothing straight would be made from the crooked timber of humanity.
George Will
