Unique Trait Quotes

#1. Why does he feel the need to write one woman off because he has the superficial need for another's unique trait? We are the ultimate Russian Dolls. Keep twisting us open and - voila! Another. Then another. Some men just don't have the patience, or the skill, to discover what they're missing. #Quote by Michael Reilly

#2. you will need an infinite patience to learn again
to love as not long ago a fire lost in the distance
halting you at the fall of day
somewhere in the unknown of a desert -

you ask only to be able to touch
at times the heat of a gentle beating,
light as a bird's slip-stream
which breaks the circle of sight
[…]
little by little the sea sinks in itself
in the unique trait of a brushstroke
and I hear for a long time in the darkenss
the sound of the water, my only thought -

from "Nuits #Quote by Lorand Gaspar

Brown

#11. The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait.

#19. With deep theoretical roots (e.g., Bandura 1973; Dollard et al. 1939), there are at least two functions of aggression: aggression that
serves to attain some goal of the perpetrator (i.e., instrumental aggression, which can be considered planful and cool-headed) and aggression that is impulsively enacted in response to some provocation, real or imagined (i.e., reactive aggression, which can be considered unplanned and hot-headed). A simple example of instrumental aggression is an attack on the victim for some material reward, such as money or an iPhone. Reactive aggression is exemplified by an outburst to a perceived or actual slight. For child developmentalists, the distinction is important because each is associated with a unique developmental trajectory and consequent socioemotional outcomes. For example, reactively aggressive children are more apt to display poor psychological adjustment because their dysregulation leads to related
social difficulties such as peer rejection (Coie and Koeppl 1990). By contrast, instrumentally aggressive children are not necessarily dysregulated. Moreover, their
success at goal attainment may even lead to positive peer regard. #Quote by Todd K. Shackelford

#20. Manic-depression distorts moods and thoughts, incites dreadful behaviors, destroys the basis of rational thought, and too often erodes the desire and will to live. It is an illness that is biological in its origins, yet one that feels psychological in the experience of it, an illness that is unique in conferring advantage and pleasure, yet one that brings in its wake almost unendurable suffering and, not infrequently, suicide. #Quote by Kay Redfield Jamison

#21. People with no experience of life except under communist regimes would tell me that they knew - though they were unsure how - that their life was not 'natural,' just as Winston Smith concludes that life in Airstrip One (the new name for England in 1984) was unnatural. Other ways of life might have their problems, my Albanian and Rumanian friends would say, but theirs was unique in its violation of human nature. Orwell's imaginative grasp of what it was like to live under communism seemed to them, as it does to me, to amount to genius. #Quote by Theodore Dalrymple

#22. He was not a monster, she said. People say he was a monster, but he was not one.
What could she have been thinking about? Not much, I guess; not back then, not at the time. She was thinking about how not to think. The times were abnormal. She took pride in her appearance. She did not believe he was a monster. He was not a monster, to her. Probably he had some endearing trait: he whistled, off key, in the shower, he had a yen for truffles, he called his dog Liebchen and made it sit up for little pieces of raw steak. How easy to invent a humanity, for anyone at all. What an available temptation. A big child, she would have said to herself. Her heart would have melted, she'd have smoothed the hair back from his forehead, kissed him on the ear, and not just to et something out of him either. The instinct to soothe, to make it better. There there, she'd say as he awoke from a nightmare. Things are so hard for you. All this she believed, because otherwise how could she keep on living? She was very ordinary, under that beauty. #Quote by Margaret Atwood

#23. Fluid, lyrical and with a unique sensitivity to her characters, Jax Cassidy's work is as sensual as it is emotional. This is definitely an author to keep your eye on! #Quote by Eden Bradley

#29. Every development is first rejected,
then skeptically accepted,
next gradually embraced,
and at last abundantly praised.
Let's put it straight:
it's a human trait. #Quote by Joan Marques

#30. Your main target should be to find and develop your own unique individuality and not let your focus be sidetracked and drift to external things #Quote by Sunday Adelaja

#31. Freedom and respect for the individual are rooted in the Old Testament, which convinced man that he makes his own history, that he is responsible for his history. Such freedom implies that a man throws off his inertia, that he does not cling arbitrarily to tradition, that he strives knowledge and accepts moral responsibility. The fear of freedom is the fear of assuming responsibility.
Freedom can never be completely safeguarded by rules and laws. It is as much dependent on courage, integrity, and responsibility of each of us as it is on these qualities in those who govern. Every trait in us and our leaders which points to passive submission to mere power betrays democratic freedom. #Quote by Joost A.M. Meerloo

#32. I like the fact people consider me unique, one of a kind. #Quote by Pau Gasol

#33. Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother's nature.

The teachings of the Church did not interest her, except as they were a rebuke to others ... #Quote by Mary McCarthy

#34. I was really lucky because I went to an all-girl school and that single sex education really helped me because I really learned to bond with women and to not compete with or compare myself as much because we were all allowed to be ourselves and be unique and kind of have our unique strengths. #Quote by Kerry Washington

#35. On the other hand, investing is a unique kind of casino - one where you cannot lose in the end, so long as you play only by the rules that put the odds squarely in your favor. #Quote by Benjamin Graham

#36. On 'Glee,' we often tackle the tough topics that young people face - in fact, my recurring character, Wade 'Unique' Adams, is a transgender teenager who finds herself navigating a lot of the same problems many young people face around the globe. #Quote by Alex Newell

#37. Curiosity allows your unique "owned processes" to draw you toward creative conclusions. #Quote by Robert Genn

#38. The coaching process is unique in how it accomplishes leadership development. The coach works not by providing answers per se but by asking questions through which the leader gains new insights and takes new actions. #Quote by Aubrey Malphurs

#39. You couldn't get more original than Laura. Laura. Yes, she was an original, all right. One of a kind. Did they break her mold or what, pal? Or ... or did it self-destruct? Still, Laura. The one and the only. Such a plain name for a unique cutie. But perhaps my acuity is not without its problems. I ruin everything: a stupid story to be tapped out on my tomb's stone. I ruined even Laura. And an original ruin is rare. Just ask the archaeologist, "Egypt, again?" Just ask me, "Laura, again?" and we'll both respond: "Yes, again and again. And again. #Quote by Vladimir Nabokov

#40. Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be. #Quote by Walter Benjamin

#41. Politically speaking, tribal nationalism [patriotism] always insists that its own people are surrounded by 'a world of enemies' - 'one against all' - and that a fundamental difference exists between this people and all others. It claims its people to be unique, individual, incompatible with all others, and denies theoretically the very possibility of a common mankind long before it is used to destroy the humanity of man. #Quote by Hannah Arendt

#42. I love Bob Dylan. Who doesn't? He tapped into some kind of vein and it keeps on keeping on. There's nobody like him. He's unique, and just ... way out cool. #Quote by David Lynch

#43. You are not a powerless speck of dust drifting around in the wind ... we are, each of us, like beautiful snowflakes-unique, and born for a specific reason and purpose. #Quote by Elisabeth Kubler Ross

#44. I get tired of hearing people, well-meaning people, talking about African-American kids or Hispanic kids as if they're all the same. Which isn't true. There is a very diverse group of people in both groups in terms of income, objectives in life, aspirations, cultural wants, habits, all the things that make us unique Americans. #Quote by Jeb Bush
