Quotes:

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.
View quotes by Margaret Thatcher

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.
View quotes by Susan Sontag

It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch colour - not colour used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.
View quotes by Henri Matisse

Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.
View quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

He that desire to acquire any art or science seeks first those means by which that art or science is obtained.
View quotes by Robert Barclay

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
View quotes by Martin Luther King Jr

As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
View quotes by Marshall McLuhan

Alfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. They are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead peoples to war.
View quotes by Pierre Curie

Diplomacy means all the wicked devices of the Old World, spheres of influence, balances of power, secret treaties, triple alliances, and, during the interim period, appeasement of Fascism.
View quotes by Barbara Tuchman

I hear Peter Ebdon swims a mile every day. That means that in a year he could be 365 miles away. That is the best that we can hope for after this. If this was a boxing match it would have been stopped on Sunday night to spare the fans any more punishment
View quotes by Barry Hearn

What I'm doing here is seeking to offer protection from life, solely through the means of potato, butter and cream... there are times when only mashed potato will do.
View quotes by Nigella Lawson

This is very disappointing for me as this means I miss England's last two games in the Six Nations at Twickenham and two games for my club, Sale Sharks. [on being forced out through injury]
View quotes by Jason Robinson

As a teenager I was the average aspirant yob. I wanted to be menacing but I was brought up in Cheam - and rebelling in Cheam means going through the traffic lights when they're on amber.
View quotes by Jeremy Vine

Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.
View quotes by Simone Weil

If the arts are held up solely as a means of social insight, fantasy is denied the chance to be commonplace and reality the chance to be exotic.
View quotes by Richard Eyre

Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures.
View quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
View quotes by William Faulkner

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than the freedom to stagnate.
View quotes by Adlai Stevenson

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than the freedom to stagnate.
View quotes by Adlai E Stevenson

Diplomacy means the art of nearly deceiving all your friends, but not quite deceiving all your enemies.
View quotes by Kofi Busia
