Honest

Famous quotes containing the word honest:

“A doctrinaire is a fool but an honest man.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)

“It is almost impossible to be a doctor and an honest man, but it is obscenely impossible to be a psychiatrist without at the same time bearing the stamp of the most incontestable madness: that of being unable to resist that old atavistic reflex of the mass of humanity, which makes any man of science who is absorbed by this mass a kind of natural and inborn enemy of all genius.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

“Aunt,
there’s no such thing
as honest love
in the world of men.
If there were,
who’d separate?
And if separation ever came to be,
who could go on living?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
