Regarded

Famous quotes containing the word regarded:

“If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if the town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor’s trade.”
—Miranda Richardson (b. 1958)
