Famous quotes containing the word sincerity:
“There should be more sincerity and heart in human relations, more silence and simplicity in our interactions. Be rude when youre angry, laugh when something is funny, and answer when youre asked.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
“No one can write a best-seller by taking thought. The slightest touch of insincerity blurs its appeal. The writer who keeps his tongue in his cheek, who knows that he is writing for fools and that, therefore, he had better write like a fool, makes a respectable living out of serials and novelettes; but he will never make the vast, the blaring, half a million success. That comes of blended sincerity and vitality.”
—Rebecca West (18921983)
“However greatly we distrust the sincerity of those we converse with, yet still we think they tell more truth to us than to anyone else.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (16131680)
