Quotes:

So this, thought Ferrier, was El Fenicio, an open courtyard behind a wineshop, a rectangle of hard-packed earth on which rows of small wooden tables and chairs had been set out to face a bare platform of a stage.
View quotes by Helen MacInnes

Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail.
View quotes by Martin Luther King Jr

If I win the gold I might say nothing and just wander past him, hopefully with some kind of medal - a gold one preferably. I think I might dangle it in front of his face or something. [on how he'd react to a French rival who got him disqualified from a race!]
View quotes by Ben Ainslie

Touch a face. Touch a hand. Say, 'This is for you, this is what I want you to wear.'
View quotes by Estee Lauder

Its OK to grow up, just as long as you don't grow old. Face it you are young
View quotes by Jarvis Cocker

Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to face many a danger, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.
View quotes by Annie Besant

A journalist and an information architect face exactly the same problem - how to give shape to the pile of information in front of you in a way that will make it easy and natural for people to comprehend. I can't imagine any better preparation for the work I do now.
View quotes by Jesse Garrett

I don't remember names, I remember faces. You should be introduced by the face. Whatever it is you remember about that person. 'Big Nose, Short Pants, come here a second. This is my friend, Hawaiian Shirt, Bad Haircut.'
View quotes by Paul Reiser

The world has reached such a degree of interdependence... that international cooperation has become essential... the only self-supporting region of the world is the whole world... Only one opinion and only one market cover the face of the earth.
View quotes by Salvador De Madariaga

It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.
View quotes by Georges Bernanos

A man's face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man's thoughts and aspirations.
View quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

There is truth in Jesus which is terrible, as well as truth that is soothing; terrible, for He shall be Judge as well Saviour; and ye cannot face Him, ye cannot stand before Him, unless ye now give ear to His invitation
View quotes by Henry Melvill

Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due - she reminds us too much of a prima donna.
View quotes by E M Forster

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.
View quotes by Robert E Lee

I sometimes forget a face, but I never forget a back.
View quotes by Laurette Taylor

When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face.
View quotes by Robert Burn

All quiet along the Potomac to-night,
No sound save the rush of the river,
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead -
The picket's off duty forever. ['All Quiet Along the Potomac']
View quotes by Ethel Lynn Beers

We have to face it: in America today the way to have fun and celebrate is to break a store window and take something. That's the way it is, today in America, and we have to accept it.
View quotes by Richard J Daley

Slop... why is Big Brother feeding us this slop? Look, I am turning into slop! [on pouring the can of slop contents all over his face and hair]
View quotes by Gerry Stergiopoulos

Kill me now. I can't face another three months of haggling between Tony Blair and Michael Howard over who will be tougher on immigrants and disability benefits. Another thirteen weeks of flying pigs, Fagin-flaunting and 'Forward, Not Back'? Pass the noose. [on the 2005 election campaign]
