en There is no more contemptible type of human character than that of the nerveless sentimentalist and dreamer who spends his life in a weltering sea of sensibility and emotion, but who never does a manly concrete deed.
  William James

en A sentimentalist is simply one who desires to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it
  Oscar Wilde

en The writer by nature of his profession is a dreamer and a conscious dreamer. He must imagine, and imagination takes humility, love and great courage. How can you create a character without live and the struggle that goes with love?
  Carson McCullers

en A full-dressed ecclesiastic is a sort of go-cart of divinity; an ethical automaton. A clerical prig is, in general, a very dangerous as well as contemptible character. The utmost that those who thus habitually confound their opinions and sentiments with the outside coverings of their bodies can aspire to, is a negative and neutral character, like wax-work figures, where the dress is done as much to the life as the man, and where both are respectable pieces of pasteboard, or harmless compositions of fleecy hosiery.
  William Hazlitt

en The faith circle is so congruous with human nature that the only explanation of the veto that intellectualists pass upon it must be sought in the offensive character to them of the faiths of certain concrete persons.
  William James

en A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist. This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.
  W. H. Auden

en I'm tired of all this isolation. I'm tired of this triviality of life. I want real human emotion. I want to feel the natural spontaneity of life, the beautiful randomness and rawness that is life. I want to see you and I want you to see me and I want to bask in that moment of humility and intimacy and the acknowledgement of your dignity and my humanity, even if it is for a second. That'll be enough.

en There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly firmness and decision of character.
  William Hazlitt

en Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character.

en Literary confessors are contemptible, like beggars who exhibit their sores for money, but not so contemptible as the public that buys their books.
  W. H. Auden

en He said (Greenville) showed what type of character they have and we'll see what type of character (Florida) has. I think we answered their question. I don't think you can question our character.

en To character and success, two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together . . . humble dependence on God and manly reliance on self.
  William Wordsworth

en When I said that this was a team made of men and not names, I didn't mean that the others were not men. They're as manly as we are. We're all men and good men and hard men and manly men.
