Norman Hartnell quotes

  • As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.

  • It's been a straight strip, I must tell you, I've enjoyed it all the way. If I'm saying things to make it sound like it's hard, hard work, it's not. It's beautiful work. It's fun work. It's everything you'd ever want to do.

  • Each individual creature on this beautiful planet is created by God to fulfil a particular role. Whatever I have achieved in life is through His help and an expression of His will. He showered His grace on me through some outstanding teachers and colleagues and when I pay my tributes to these fine persons, I am merely praising His glory. We are all born with a divine fire in us.

  • The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one.

  • It takes simplicity and humility to worship God acceptably.

  • Design principle: Take things away until the design breaks, then put that last thing back in.

  • In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.

  • The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.

  • There is a war that makes us adore our conquerors and despise ourselves.

  • There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something that they're not.
