Quotes:Men always
talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.
View quotes by Gilbert Keith ChestertonNo matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders
talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man's front embraces the whole universe.
View quotes by Henry MillerAt a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and
talk well but not too wisely.
View quotes by W Somerset MaughamNever say anything to hurt anyone. Moreover... refrain from double
talk, from shrewd and canny remarks that are designed to advance our interests at someone's disadvantage. We are to turn our back upon evil, and in every way possible, do good, help people and bring blessings into their lives.
View quotes by Norman Vincent PealeMost rock journalism consists of people who can't write, interviewing people who can't
talk for the benefit of people who can't read.
View quotes by Frank Zappa'Six months before he died, my grand-father came to Australia to try to explain to me that he was dying. I was a young kid, very much into myself at the time. I was busking on the streets just to make enough money to pay my rent, There was this Japanese restaurant I'd always wanted to eat at but couldn't afford, so I suggested we go there.' It was an unfortunate choice. In Weans' weakened condition, the smell of the rice and soya sauce brought back memories of the Second World War. 'We couldn't have the
talk he wanted to,' says Crowe.
'The day he died, I was in the kitchen of a flat in Woollarah, (an eastern suburb of Sydney). 'Suddenly a kookaburra bird flew in the window. It just looked at me. I knew my grandfather had died. I phoned home and my mother confirmed it. 'I insisted the bird was my grandfather's spirit, but my mom would have nothing of it.'
One day last year, Crowe had a dream in which he was holding his mother and she was crying. He phoned home immediately.
'My mother said a woman who had worked closely with my grandfather had come to visit and, without prompting, had told her that on the day my grandfather died a bird had visited her as well. 'Learning this had reduced my mother to tears.'
Crowe says he believes that 'with all this
talk of angels, maybe they are just birds sent to us by those who have crossed over.' Tuesday, March 14, 2000
View quotes by Russell CrowePre-game pep
talk before facing England: 'Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our houses and they only live in them for a fortnight every 12 months. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English - and that's who you are playing this afternoon'
View quotes by Phil BennettRock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't
talk for people who can't read
View quotes by Frank ZappaTalk to the point, and stop when you have reached it. The faculty some possess of making one idea cover a quire of paper is not good for much. Be comprehensive in all you say or write. To fill a volume upon nothing is a credit to nobody; though Lord Chesterfield wrote a very clever poem upon nothing
View quotes by John NealIt was not a red card. The kid Messi is not just a very good footballer. He is more than that. He jumps and he provoked the contact with Del Horno, who is then sent off. I don't think I can
talk about the game after that it was not a proper game, but I'm proud of my players. [on losing to Barcelona, 2006 champions league]
View quotes by Jose MourinhoPeace is the most powerful weapon of mankind. It takes more courage to take a blow than give one. It takes more courage to try and
talk things through than to start a war.
View quotes by Mahatma GandhiItalian girls are famous for being snobby and expecting men to make the first move. In America, if I don't make eye contact, the guys won't come over and
talk. American girls just go for it.
View quotes by Silvia CollocaThe homosexual community wants me to be gay. The heterosexual community wants me to be straight. Every [writer] thinks, I'm the journalist who's going to make him
talk. I pray for them. I pray that they get a life and stop living mine!
View quotes by Ricky MartinWe
talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.
View quotes by Dwight Moody'Look neither Janet or me thought it was such a big deal. But when CBS and the FCC got so uptight, yeah, I lied about it and called it a wardrobe malfunction. I mean what else did you expect me to do? They could fine us big time for this which really sucks. I mean it's just a *@#?$£% tit! Now I wish we'd shown both of 'em and really given them something to
talk about!' (to reporter Sandy Baker re Janet Jackson's nipple slip at the Superbowl)
View quotes by Justin TimberlakePele isn't my real name, my real name is Edson. A class-mate wanted to anger me with the name Pele, so I punched him and got suspended from school. I didn't want the name. Pele sounds like baby-
talk in Portuguese
View quotes by PeleLet me advise thee not to
talk of thyself as being old. There is something in Mind Cure, after all, and if thee continually
talks of thyself as being old, thee may perhaps bring on some of the infirmities of age. At least I would not risk it if I were thee.
View quotes by Hannah Whitall SmithI have a very good family. I'm very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It's one of the things we have in our platform, is to
talk about it.
View quotes by Dan QuayleTwenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign
talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside.
View quotes by Zell MillerWhen people
talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
