Top 15 Anthony Marais Quotes (2024 Update)

Anthony Marais Quote: “We cannot escape the longing, no matter what life we choose. We’re either longing for people, places or times gone by, which are essentially the same things: memories. And, whether or not we travel, the older we get, the more memories we collect. Nostalgia is simply the result of aging and liking the life you’ve lived. Be happy you can feel it – it’s a good sign.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Sexual harassment is using what Nature gave us to take what isn’t ours. It’s an act of violence not only against an individual, but the group – and it inevitably meets with the wrath of the group.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “The hermit is he who needs a friend, and in the absence of a community has befriended himself.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Humanity is as horrified and repulsed by real nature as it is by real death. Thus, we strike back against this formidable opponent with our sharpest weapon: our imagination. From this noble tool – born of necessity and elevated to beauty – culture was born, and the war against nature begun.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “If death is perfect enlightenment, life appears to be the perfect opposite.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Those who jump out of airplanes do not love life – they deny it, which, of course, is not done without a certain naughty exhilaration. Like children they relish tugging on the apron of Mother Nature, as long as she doesn’t turn and slap them.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Gape long enough into a looking glass and you’ll eventually see beauty. The same can be said of self-analysis, and as soon as one apes oneself, a second monkey is born.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Skin color or the shape of one’s nose cannot be the criteria upon which individuals are judged. Black is not beautiful; it’s racist. Being African-American, conscious of your culture, fascinated by your history, this is beautiful – and really has nothing to do with putting a color chart next to your face.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “When hunting a Maltese Falcon, catch it, but don’t scratch it!”
Anthony Marais Quote: “There is nothing wrong with being fascinated by the dark side of life, and ourselves, but woe to those who think this is representative of reality. All too many of us sit in our homes watching TV, falling prey to the delusion that the world is getting worse. If these sorry individuals spent more time meeting their neighbors, they’d discover that 95% of their peers are fine people.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “The closer art reflects reality, the less artistic it becomes. Art is most enticing when it mimics life as a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing. The contrary is always a grave disappointment.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Reality is fatal whereas fantasy is something to die for.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Reflection is nothing more than what it sounds, and pondering one’s own life is about as productive as talking to one’s image in a mirror: both acts are egocentric and neither produces a dialog. People who talk to themselves in public are not self-actualized; they’re crazy.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Culture preaches monogamy while Nature repeats it – over and over again.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “To conceive of a god in one’s image is already quite a feat for inflated egos. To imagine, however, that this likeness has chosen your generation amongst the thousands for ending the party is to bring the egocentrism to new heights.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Atheists believe simplicity is a virtue when it is precisely this that weighs so heavily on their souls.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Those who take thinking seriously have a serious problem – ignorance and arrogance commingle.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “Many humans make the mistake of fighting for race when it’s the species driving our genes. And there is only one weapon to fight for species: the brain.”
Anthony Marais Quote: “If divorce is like death, then is not the perpetration of divorce a kind of murder? That is, are we not risking putting ourselves through the same torment – the same sleepless nights, feelings of persecution and guilt, the regret – as one of those pathetic characters from a Dostoevsky novel? It’s like you’ve just struck your wife with a candelabra and now you’re looking at her lifeless body on the floor, and suddenly she looks pretty.”
