We live in a world of frightful givens. It is given that you will behave like this, given that you will care about that. No one thinks about the givens. Isn't it amazing? In the information society, nobody thinks. We expected to banish paper, but we actually banished thought.

Michael Crichton

We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

David Sarnoff

Rather I fear on the contrary that while we banish painful thoughts we may banish memory as well.

Plutarch

Outlawed, but not alone, for Love Is outlawed, too. You cannot banish us, proud world: We banish you.

Alfred Noyes

When you banish the dragons you banish the heroes.

Andrew Solomon

When I was younger, not being accepted made me enraged, but now, I am not inclined to dismantle my history. If you banish the dragons, you banish the heroes-and we become attached to the heroic strain in our personal history.

Andrew Solomon

And why not death rather than living torment? To die is to be banish'd from myself; And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her Is self from self: a deadly banishment!

William Shakespeare

To-day is ours; what do we fear? To-day is ours; we have it here. Let's treat it kindly, that it may Wish, at least, with us to stay. Let's banish business, banish sorrow; To the gods belong to-morrow.

Abraham Cowley

Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.

Mariella Frostrup

A beautifully constructed borshch, such as you are going to experience presently, ought not only to banish conversation but almost to annihilate thought.

Hector Hugh Munro

To die, is to be banish'd from myself; And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her, Is self from self: a deadly banishment! What light is light, if Silvia be not seen? What joy is joy, if Silvia be not by? Unless it be to think that she is by, And feed upon the shadow of perfection. Except I be by Silvia in the night, There is no music in the nightingale; Unless I look on Silvia in the day, There is no day for me to look upon; She is my essence, and I leave to be, If I be not by her fair influence Foster'd, illumin'd, cherish'd, kept alive.

William Shakespeare

Let us banish fear.

Carter G. Woodson

The task must be to banish from mankind's thought the idea that anybody has the right to use force against righteousness, against justice, against mutual agreements.
