A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it.
- J R R Tolkien
Short cuts make for long delays.
- J R R Tolkien
Wickedness is always easier than virtue; for it takes the short cut to everything.
- Samuel Johnson
...I saw the infernal Thing blocking my path in the twilight. The dead travel fast, and by short cuts unknown to ordinary coolies. I laughed aloud a second time, and checked my laughter suddenly, for I was afraid I was going mad.
- Rudyard Kipling
Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.
- Raymond Chandler
There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation - veneer isn't worth anything.
- George Washington Carver
It is in this way that a war is disastrous. If it does not kill, it transmits to some an energy alien to their own resources; to others it permits what the law forbids and accustoms them to short cuts. It artificially glorifies ingenuity, pity, daring. A whole younger generation believes itself to be sublime and collapses when it has to draw on itself for patriotism and fate.
- Jean Cocteau
In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.
- Henry Miller
What you people who weren't yet born can never know is what it meant to sleep in cities under silent falls of snow when all night long the only sounds you heard were dogs that parked at trains that passed so far away they took a short cut through your dreams and no one even woke. It was the war that changed that. It was. After the Great War for Civilization - sleep was different everywhere..
- Timothy Findley
It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out
of love as there is for getting in. Some people look upon marriage as a
short cut that way, but it has been known to fail.
- Thomas Hardy
I heard the phrases and I wanted all of me to call out in a song, a song that doesn't have words, a song that almost doesn't have noise. A lot of people take a short cut and call that feeling of song love. They just call it that because there isn't a way to describe it. But the word love doesn't describe the half of it. It doesn't do anything to bring to mind the song we all want so desperately to sing.
- Jane Hamilton
I don't know that there are any short cuts to doing a good job.
- Sandra Day Oconnor
All my work and all my dealings with people feel very easy. Actually, everything is simple. There is one straight road - if you open your eyes you can go along it. I don't see the need to search for all sorts of clever short cuts. Happiness and sadness are both on the road - there is no road that avoids them - but peace is found only on this road, nowhere else.
- Rabindranath Tagore
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
- Petrarch
I think Oscar Wilde wrote a poem about a robin who loved a white rose. He loved it so much that he pierced his breast and let his heart's blood turn the white rose red. Maybe this sounds very sentimental, but for anybody who has loved a career as much as I've loved mine, there can be no short cuts.
- Mary Pickford
Straight answers were beyond the powers of Rashid Khalifa, who would never take a short cut if there was a longer, twistier road available.
- Salman Rushdie
If someone were to ask me for a short cut to sensuality, I would suggest he go shopping for a used 427 Shelby-Cobra. But it is only fair to warn you that of the 300 guys who switched to them in 1966, only two went back to women.
- Mort Sahl
Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.
- Roger Staubach
A veritable incubator of short cuts, schemes and devices to overcome the truth.
- David A Stockman
The ability to speak is a short cut to distinction. It puts a man in the limelight, raises him head and shoulders above the crowd.
- Lowell Thomas
Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.
- Kiana Tom
There is no royal road to learning; no short cut to the acquirement of any art.
- Anthony Trollope
