Nobody can read Freud without realizing that he was the scientific equivalent of another nuisance, George Bernard Shaw.
Robert M. Hutchins
Image
We have to be aggressive when those we stick up for have no voice. I don't consider it radical to say cruelty is wrong and that animals should be respected. I consider it radical to eat corpses, put electrodes in animals' heads, make elephants live in chains in the circus, and poison animals we consider a nuisance.
Ingrid Newkirk
Image
Every day we'd trudge up the hill - it was a three-quarter-mile walk up this steep hill to the Leach Pottery, and we would take our lunch with us and generally, I guess, make a nuisance of ourselves.
Warren MacKenzie
Image
Your first most typical figure in any new place turns out to be a bluff or a local nuisance.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Children are the brightest treasures we bring forth into this world, but too large a percentage of the population continues to treat them as inconveniences and nuisances, when they're not treating them as possessions or toys.
Charles de Lint
Image
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place - like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
George Sutherland
Image
Particular nuisances (are) smoke, sewage odours, dust and similar aerosols, and vibrations.
Yehuda Levi
Image
The teaching of politics is that the Government, which was set for protection and comfort of all good citizens, becomes the principal obstruction and nuisance with which we have to contend... The cheat and bully and malefactor we meet everywhere is the Government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited he must not make himself a nuisance to other people.
John Stuart Mill
Image
What was sleep? A blessing, a respite from life, an echo of death, a demanding nuisance?
Colleen McCullough
Image
Systems, scientific or philosophic, come and go. Each method of limited understanding is at length exhausted. In its prime each system is a triumphant success: in its decay it is an obstructive nuisance.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
I find brass bands have a melancholy sound. All right out of doors, of course - fifty miles away. Like bagpipes, they turn what had been a dream into a public nuisance.
Thomas Beecham
Image
Yes, ISIS is a threat. It's more than a nuisance. It's also in many respects criminal violence. But it isn't, in my view, a central strategic issue facing humanity.
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Image
If we could survive without a wife, citizens of Rome, all of us would do without that nuisance but since nature has so decreed that we cannot manage comfortably with them, nor live in any way without them, we must plan for our lasting preservation rather than for our temporary pleasure.
Augustus
Image
Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Speech that leads not to action, still more that hinders it, is a nuisance on the earth.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
Image
Political analysts are saying that as a candidate, Donald Trump is 'a totally unqualified nuisance.' In other words, he is a legitimate contender for the Republican nomination.
Conan O'Brien
Image
Vanity is becoming a nuisance, I can see why women give it up, eventually. But I'm not ready for that yet.
Margaret Atwood
Image
War is hell and all that, but it has a good deal to recommend it. It wipes out all the small nuisances of peace time.
John Hay Beith
Image
The moral of it is this: If you are of any account, stay at home and make your way by faithful diligence but if you are 'no account,' go away from home, and then you will have to work, whether you want to or not. Thus you become a blessing to your friends by ceasing to be a nuisance to them-if the people you go among suffer by the operation.
Mark Twain
Image
I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.
Charles Baudelaire
Image
Romance without finance is a nuisance. Few men value free merchandise. Let the chippies fall where they may.
Sally Stanford
