The courage of one's opinions is always a form of calculating cowardice in the eyes of the other side.
Marcel Proust
Image
I think an awful lot of the reasons people put forward for not liking Hillary Clinton play into deep-seated, negative female stereotypes: ambition, secrecy, calculating. I mean, that is Lady Macbeth, a kind of cold woman. I don't think that's Hillary. And I don't think people would judge a man in the same way.
Anne-Marie Slaughter

Image
What a great advantage a man can have over women, if he only knew what cold and calculating thoughts are going through her mind.... while her eyes are brimming with tears.
Esther Vilar

What keeps earth air breathable? Not oxygen alone. The earth is a freer place to breathe in, every time you love without calculating a return -- every time you make your drudgeries and routines still more inefficient by stopping to experience the shock of beauty wherever it unpredictably flickers.
Peter Viereck
Image
The duty of the artist is not to be calculating in any sense, so that he may be free himself of human emotions while carried by the universal forces of life. Only then does one not think about making art, or about styles, or directions. Something comes about, something happens.
Karel Appel

Calculating selfishness is the annihilation of self.
Anton Chekhov

A gamester, as such, is the cool, calculating, essential spirit of concentrated, avaricious selfishness.
Henry Ward Beecher

People often say to me - how clever you are! How brilliant to be able to go from ballet to theatre as you do. I answer that it is not clever at all. It is the gift of looking at oneself coolly, of calculating the future objectively. I could see the danger signals as far as ballet was concerned before anyone else did, that's all.
Robert Helpmann

Keke Rosberg is as calculating as a slot machine.
Louis Stanley
Image
Once you experience being loved when you are unworthy, being forgiven when you did something wrong, that moves you into non-dual thinking. You move from what I call meritocracy, quid pro quo thinking, to the huge ocean of grace, where you stop counting or calculating.
Richard Rohr
Image
I'm calculating, self-sufficient, reserved, and I enjoy being alone
Melissa Sue Anderson
Image
We witness a strange inversion: on the one hand, the endeavor to turn the social contract into a less calculating and more feeling connection among its members on the other hand, the endeavor to turn the erotic relationship into a contractual one.
Allan Bloom
Image
Why have computers? Politicians are far more calculating.
Andre Brie
Image
Every math curriculum in the world is based on the idea of hand-calculating, and most of what you're teaching is how to calculate. And I think the resistance to this is very variable.
Paul Wolfowitz
Image
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
Oscar Wilde
Image

Nay, Madam, when you are declaiming, declaim and when you are calculating, calculate.

My God, how badly one calculates in this world! ... Let us leave off calculating on anything but death -- it is the only certainty.
Eugenie de Guerin
Image
I have always considered Pascal's Wager a questionable bet to place. Any God worth believing in would surely prefer an honest agnostic to a calculating hypocrite.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.
Robert Greene
Image
But I wanted marriage for myself. I was not calculating about it. I wish I was more calculating.
Linda McCartney
Image
I have never been so calculating as to sing some Barry White song to get a girl. But I do think it's very romantic to cook dinner and sit around the piano at night and sing together.
John Stamos
Image
'Easter' is a movable event, calculated by the relative positions of sun and moon, an impossible way of fixing year by year the anniversary of a historical event, but a very natural and indeed inevitable way of calculating a solar festival. These changing dates do not point to the history of a man, but to the hero of a solar myth.
Annie Besant
