Language,-human language,-after all is but little better than the croak and cackle of fowls, and other utterances of brute nature,-sometimes not so adequate.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Image
Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
Alan Kay
Image
Tyrants forego all respect for humanity in proportion as they are sunk beneath it. Taught to believe themselves of a different species, they really become so, lose their participation with their kind, and in mimicking the god dwindle into the brute.
William Hazlitt
Image
For danger levels man and brute And all are fellows in their need.
John Dryden
Image
In the brute physical world, and the one encompassed by medicine, there are all too many things that could kill you, don't kill you, and then leave you considerably weaker.
Christopher Hitchens

Charles Dickens

I dream of a true husband—a good man, not a brute, nor a champion of men on the battlefield I dream but of a gentle man, one who neither speaks too loud nor ignores evil.
A.A. Attanasio
Image
But where, says some, is the King of America? I'll tell you. Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal Brute of Britain.
Thomas Paine
Image
We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
Ayn Rand
Image
Why should I let the toad work Squat on my life? Can't I use my wit as a pitchfork And drive the brute off? Six days of the week it soils With its sickening poison-- Just for paying a few bills! That's out of proportion.
Philip Larkin
Image
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Agnosticism is the natural attitude of the evolutionist. How can a brute mind comprehend spiritual things?
William Jennings Bryan
Image
When somebody says the best thing you can do is be tough, the best thing you can do is use your brute force, then we're selling ourselves short.
Benjamin Jealous
Image
Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body. Using muscular tensions to try to 'do' the punch or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over will only work to opposite effect.
Bruce Lee
Image
If the transmigration of a soul takes place into a rational being, it simply becomes the soul of that body. But if the soul migrates into a brute beast, it follows the body outside, as a guardian spirit follows a man. For there could never be a rational soul in an irrational being.
Sallust
Image
We seek an understanding of the laws of nature and of our particular universe in which everything makes sense to us. We do not want to be reduced to accepting the strange features of our universe as brute facts.
Sean M. Carroll
Image
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
Agatha Christie
Image
A brute force solution that works is better than an elegant solution that doesn't work.
Steve McConnell
Image
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
A war doesn’t merely kill off a few thousand or a few hundred thousand young men. It kills off something in a people that can never be brought back. And if a people goes through enough wars, pretty soon all that’s left is the brute, the creature that we—you and I and others like us—have brought up from the slime.
John Edward Williams
Image
No one likes a straight road but the man who pays for it, or who, when he travels, is brute enough to wish to get to his journey's end.
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Image
In warfare, first lay plans which will ensure victory, and then lead your army to battle if you will not begin with stratagem but rely on brute strength alone, victory will no longer be assured.
Sun Tzu
