View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

What is it that makes a man willing to sit up on top of an enormous Roman candle, such as a Redstone, Atlas, Titan or Saturn rocket, and wait for someone to light the fuse?
View quotes by Tom Wolfe

If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature.
View quotes by Bruce Barton

It's very difficult for me to dislike an artist. No matter what he's creating, the fact that he's experiencing the joy of creation makes me feel like we're in a brotherhood of some kind... we're in it together.
View quotes by Chick Corea

There is nothing can pay one for that invaluable ignorance which is the companion of youth, those sanguine groundless hopes, and that lively vanity which makes all the happiness of life.
View quotes by Mary Wortley

It is the tension between the scientist's laws and his own attempted breaches of them that powers the engines of science and makes it forge ahead. (Quiddities)
View quotes by W V O Quine

Most of my living expenses are thankfully subsidized by a few generous older gentlemen. I'm sure I am not the only one who makes money on the side this way: How can anybody live on $25,000 a year?
View quotes by Jessica Cutler

This was unbelievable for me today, I played so good and to beat a legend like her just makes it all the better [on winning Wimbledon and beating Martina Navratilova in the process]
View quotes by Conchita Martinez

Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is a temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship
View quotes by James Russell Lowell

View quotes by Ken Calvert

I hate pubs and I'm too old for clubs. But you want to be able to go somewhere with your friends that makes you feel naturally high and exuberant. So I think it's worth a punt. [on a karaoke bar investment]
View quotes by Martha Lane Fox

It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals.
View quotes by Fred Allen

Troy Cooley, the bowling coach, and Duncan Fletcher, should know what makes him tick, and what made him the world's best bowler [on Steve Harmison]
View quotes by Phil Tufnell

In every movement that Christianity makes to eradicate the corrupt practices of men in political and in social life Christ is setting up His kingdom on the earth.
View quotes by Bernard Paine

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
View quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson

Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.
View quotes by André Gide

View quotes by Nancy Dell'Olio

I love lingerie and feminine things. It makes me feel nice to look good and turn somebody on by doing so. It’s an incredible rush. And when it turns a man on — fantastic. But no matter what, I’m getting off.
View quotes by Lorri Bagley

Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
View quotes by W B Yeats

Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
View quotes by Kenneth Tynan
