Famous quotes containing the word outward:
“Others indeed may talk, and write, and fight about liberty, and make an outward pretence to it; but the free-thinker alone is truly free.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.”
—Andre Maurois (1885–1967)
“The outward is only the outside of that which is within. Men are not concealed under habits, but are revealed by them; they are their true clothes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
