“A good yield combined with a weakening US dollar should prove irresistible to global investors.”
Clifford Bennett
“The gospel to me is simply irresistible.”
Blaise Pascal
“Born often under another sky, placed in the middle of an always moving scene, himself driven by the irresistible torrent which draws all about him, the American has no time to tie himself to anything, he grows accustomed only to change, and ends by regarding it as the natural state of man. He feels the need of it, more he loves it; for the instability; instead of meaning disaster to him, seems to give birth only to miracles all about him.”
Alexis de Tocqueville
“The popularity of disaster movies expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence. Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.”
David Mamet
“A clever, ugly man every now and then is successful with the ladies, but a handsome fool is irresistible.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“Some minds seem almost to create themselves, springing up under every disadvantage and working their solitary but irresistible way through a thousand obstacles.”
Washington Irving
“London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers of the Empire are irresistibly drained”
Arthur Conan Doyle Sr.
