In the strange heat all litigation brings to bear on things, the very process of litigation fosters the most profound misunderstandings in the world.
- Renata Adler
I wished to punish her for her intolerable stoicism, which made it impossible for me to ever be truly needed by her in the most profound ways a person can need another, a need that often goes by the name of love.
- Nicole Krauss
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
- Richard Bach
whatever is profound loves masks; what is most profound even hates image and parable.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
So he came to realize that learning a language was perhaps the most profound thing a man could do. Not only did it require wrapping different sounds around the very movement of your soul, it involved learning things somehow already known, as though much of what he was somehow existed apart from him. A kind of enlightenment accompanied these first lessons, a deeper understanding of self.
- R Scott Bakker
Freaks are called freaks and are treated as they are treated in the main, abominably because they are human beings who cause to echo, deep within us, our most profound terrors and desires.
- James Baldwin
I am of the African race, and in the colour which is natural to them of the deepest dye; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
- Benjamin Banneker
I come from an Italian family. One of the greatest and most profound expressions we would ever use in conversations or arguments was a slamming door. The slamming door was our punctuation mark.
- Mario Batali
Here is individual responsibility and the invention of conscience. You can if you will but it is up to you. This little story(from the Bible)turns out to be one of the most profound in the world. I always felt it was,but now I know it is.
- John Steinbeck
The most profound voice of any musician I have ever heard. Joe (Strummer) took his message to the world, and the world listened. He managed to influence more than one generation with his innovative and determined manner, and I am not alone in repeatedly turning to his thoughts and lyrics when searching for inspiration. The Clash was the greatest rock band. They wrote the rule book for U2.
- Bono
Ultimately, 'how's it going?' is the most futile and the most profound of questions. To answer it precisely, one would have to make a scrupulous inventory of one's psyche, considering each aspect in detail. No matter: we have to say 'fine' out of politeness and civility and change the subject, or else ruminate the question during our whole lives and reserve our reply for afterward.
- Pascal Bruckner
The most profound enchantment for the collector is the locking of individual items within a magic circle in which they are fixed as the final thrill, the thrill of acquisition, passes over them.
- Benjamin Franklin
After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.
- Edgar Allan Poe
I say it is indispensable to look ahead of and behind oneself in the present. If there is such a thing as tradition, and I believe there is, it can only exist in the sense of the most profound movements of culture.

- Jorja Fox
Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.
- Sigmund Freud
For the most profound experiences in our lives and in the world words are worth nothing. Can you describe love Or death Can you describe what it really feels like the first time you see your child Or the first time your heart gets broken You can try...but it won't come close to describing what it really was or what it really felt like.
- James Frey
Self-conceit is a sentiment entirely incompatible with genuine sorrow, and it is so firmly engrafted on human nature that even the most profound sorrow can seldom expel it altogether. Vanity in sorrow expresses itself by a desire to appear either stricken with grief or unhappy or brave: and this ignoble desire which we do not acknowledge but which hardly ever leaves us even in the deepest trouble robs our grief of its strength, dignity and sincerity.
- Leo Tolstoy
That was when I realised that music is the most profound, magical form of communication there is.
- Lesley Garrett
The most profound, life-altering gift you can offer the Indie writer you love is to TELL as MANY avid readers as you are able.
- R S Guthrie

- Vaclav Havel
The most profound things are inexpressible.
- Jenny Holzer
There was, he thought, an emotional truth here somewhere, and he could see now that his role-playing had a previously unsuspected artistic element to it. He was acting, yes, but in the noblest, most profound sense of the word. He wasn't a fraud. He was Robert De Niro.
- Nick Hornby
I always say that love is like the meat in a pie," Freddy put in. "The crust is what people seethe practical things that hold a couple together. But love is the important partwithout it you've got a meatless pie, and what's the point of that?"
"Why, Freddy," Minerva said, "that was almost profound.
- Sabrina Jeffries
My most profound confidence is however based upon the fact that at the head of Germany there stands a man by his entire development, his desires, and striving can only have been destined by fate to lead our people into a brighter future.
- Alfred Jodl
The most profound statements are often said in silence.
- Lynn Johnston

And now, Elric had told three lies. The first concerned his cousin Yyrkoon. The second concerned the Black Sword. The third concerned Cymoril.

- Michael Pollan
at the start of our together you were the prelude to a vast orchestration. at the end of it all you will have been the most profound and enduring music of my life.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
a person's sexual choice is the result and sum of their fundamental convictions. Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves. No matter what corruption they're taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which they cannot perform for any motive but their own enjoyment
- Ayn Rand
For the scientist, at exactly the moment of discoverythat most unstable existential momentthe external world, nature itself, deeply confirms his innermost fantastic convictions. Anchored abruptly in the world, Leviathan gasping on his hook, he is saved from extreme mental disorder by the most profound affirmation of the real.
- Richard Rhodes
This is perhaps the most profound meaning of the book of Job, the best example of wisdom.
- Paul Ricoeur
