Theodore Dreiser`s quotes

 Famous quotes 

“Art is the stored honey of the human soul.” 

“It is a sad thing to want for happiness, but it is a terrible thing to see another groping about blindly for it, when it is almost within the grasp.”

“Life is made for the strong. There is no mercy in it for the weak– none...Such is the tragedy of desire.”

“The growth of a passion is a very peculiar thing. In highly organized intellectual and artistic types it is so often apt to begin with keen appreciation of certain qualities, modified by many, many mental reservations. The egoist, the intellectual, gives but little of himself and asks much. Nevertheless, the lover of life, male or female, finding himself or herself in sympathetic accord with such a nature, is apt to gain much.”  

“When the distraction of the tongue is removed, the heart listens.”
