Quotes:

I asked Ring Lardner the other day how he writes his short stories, and he said he wrote a few widely separated words or phrases on a piece of paper and then went back and filled in the spaces.
View quotes by Harold Ross

Avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece.
View quotes by Ralph Charell

In such a theory a bare electron would be inconceivable, since one cannot imagine the end of a piece of string without having the string
View quotes by Paul Dirac

Marlon [Brando] is such a pure piece of animal flesh. He's pan-sexual, beyond normalcy of any kind. Once in a whlie, he'll give you a few minutes of his special genius - magic time.
View quotes by Roy Scheider

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
View quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

After JPR Williams was involved in a road traffic accident: 'Bloody typical, isn't it? The car's a write-off. The tanker's a write-off. But JPR comes out of it all in one piece'
View quotes by Gareth Edwards

I'd like to do a piece of Shakespeare. Any upcoming Shakespeare film. Just a bit to say I did a classic.
View quotes by Jim Varney

Ladies were ladies in those days; they did not do things themselves (Period Piece)
View quotes by Gwen Raverat

An impossible lie is an impossible lie [well this particular piece of philosophy is hard to argue with!]
View quotes by Bubba Watson

Running from corner to corner is like a piece of cake for her. The biggest surprise is it was her 14th straight match, and I didn't feel like she was physically fatigued. [on Kim Clijsters]
View quotes by Maria Sharapova

A poor relation is the most irrelevant thing in nature, a piece of impertinent correspondence, an odious approximation, a haunting conscience, a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noon-tide of our prosperity. He is known by his knock.
View quotes by Charles Lamb

He's a fallen hero, a very gentle man under that exterior. He's lived in an environment always ravaged by war and had to be realistic. He wants to use the ring against the enemy instead of destroying it. He doesn't understand the complexities this piece of metal can have on human beings. (on Boromir, Lord of the Rings)
View quotes by Sean Bean

America is not like a blanket-one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt-many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.
View quotes by Jesse Jackson

If I belong to a tradition, it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed.
View quotes by Alfred Brendel

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
View quotes by Anne Frank

A good film is one that you can watch time and time again, if you can only watch a piece once then it does not stand up to that measure.
View quotes by Peter Greenaway

No man is an Island, entire of it self; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of they friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. (Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions)
View quotes by John Donne

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
View quotes by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

I didn't take music seriously until I heard my first good piece of music. [which is fair enough... if it's not good music then why take it seriously Alan!]
View quotes by Alan Hovhaness

A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice [now, is giving a good scare a piece of good advice, which could lead to a philosophical conundrum?]
View quotes by Edward Howe
