But words came halting forth, wanting Invention's stay;
A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system.
Jean Cocteau
There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.
Style is a simple way of saying complicated things.
What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist's presence makes itself felt above that of the model. With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul's style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.
Tact is knowing how far to go too far.
I did get to keep the wedding dresses from 'Runaway Bride'. They're all boxed up in my garage. I've never opened them. It'll be fun one day when Hazel is taller. She can play dress-up with her friends.
Julia Roberts
Death is with you all the time you get deeper in it as you move towards it, but it's not unfamiliar to you. It's always been there, so what becomes unfamiliar to you when you pass away from the moment is really life.
Bell Hooks
I think in my case, I had no choice but to have a good sense of humor. I grew up with my dad, Danny Thomas, and George Burns and Bob Hope and Milton Berle and Sid Caesar and all those guys were at our house all the time and telling jokes and making each other laugh.
Marlo Thomas
Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.
P. J. O'Rourke
Certainly, protecting oppressed people, stopping ethnic conflict and promoting responsible governance are worthy goals. But none is as important for American security and prosperity as keeping the peace in the Middle East, Europe and East Asia.
Michael Mandelbaum
I do not take any pleasure whatsoever in being a famous person.
Donna Leon
I remember the day, that because that was made possible, in our minds, everything else was possible as well.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The test of leadership for David Cameron was actually to bring the British Conservative Party back in to the mainstream.
David Miliband
I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It's funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I'm not religious at all. I have no religion.
Sarah Silverman
Nature engenders the science of painting.
Robert Delaunay
We won a contest at the teen fair in Vancouver and the first prize was a recording contract and we recorded at a radio station on the stairway, and we did a record and it got put out.
Tommy Chong
We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it's a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.
Betty Dodson
This war is not about slavery.
Robert E. Lee
Though neglectful of their responsibility to protect science, scientists are increasingly aware of their responsibility to society.
John Charles Polanyi
When I was five my parents bought me a ukulele for Christmas. I quickly learned how to play it with my father's guidance. Thereafter, my father regularly taught me all the good old fashioned songs.
Tony Visconti
I was always just into my music and maybe into trying to save the world a little bit. I never really thought I'd have a hit record or anything like that. I was prepared to travel around all over the country, kind of like a Johnny Appleseed, and sing.
Don McLean
A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.
H. L. Mencken
In the past I've made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can't really hate them. You can discard them, but you can't really hate them.
Ang Lee
I have no fear that the candle lighted in Palestine years ago will ever be put out.
Dean Inge
I start thinking about life after death. I've got to quit thinking about it because it's very deep. Very deep. Sometimes you start thinking about it, and you don't feel like you want to be alive, so I don't like to get all quiet.
David Ortiz
Yeah, I think everybody has the crises of questioning themselves at some point or other in their lives. Is this where I should live? The job I should have? The girl I should be dating? Is this the friend I should have?
Chris Messina
The method of nature: who could ever analyze it?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.
Alexander Pope
The beauty of 'The Walking Dead' and the beauty of being on a television show for a while, is that, it's your backstory, it's part of what you are, it's what you carry with you every day.
Laurie Holden
I spend a lot of time learning about bird watching.
Nikki Giovanni
Those who have the strength and the love to sit with a dying patient in the silence that goes beyond words will know that this moment is neither frightening nor painful, but a peaceful cessation of the functioning of the body.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
I think one of my favorite things to do is just lock myself up in a small room and listen to music and watch films for a day. Also I just like seeing my friends. We have pizza parties which means I get four friends round, we eat a pizza and we're really lazy and we play PlayStation.
Daniel Radcliffe
I think the industry finally gets it. They've lost the connection with the American public, and they've got to rebuild the trust with the American public.
Billy Tauzin
I would say that there is no future for literary studies as such in the United States.
Harold Bloom
When I was first divorced, I started dating younger women, and it was really exciting. But after a while I was like, 'This is just dumb.'
Louis C. K.
I cannot make my days longer. So I strive to make them better.
Henry David Thoreau
No, nothing has changed in my life at all, and nothing would change if I had millions.
Kinky Friedman
Southerners smile more than other Americans.
John Shelton Reed
Americans in particular are myopic. They're not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That's what I did. I went to Indonesia.
Julie Taymor
I have this complex. I don't like too much exposure. I don't know why it is. Maybe it's bred in me, because my dad always told me to be humble and don't think you're too good.
