Famous quotes containing the word motives:

    Men sometimes have strange motives for the things they do.
    Michael Reeves (1945–1969)

    ... for the motives of acts
    Are rarely the same
    As their name, as their name....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The thing is plain. All that men really understand, is confined to a very small compass; to their daily affairs and experience; to what they have an opportunity to know, and motives to study or practise. The rest is affectation and imposture.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
