I am defeated all the time, yet to victory I am born. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The publicis rather apt to be unreasonably discontented when a woman does marry again, than when she does not. ~Jane Austen
#quotes #jane-austen #marriage

There is something of a painting of a woman that represents all women; and by extension, all of humanity; that I just find very exciting. It is a nice distillation, I think, of what it means to be alive. ~Will Cotton

I held hands with her all the time; that doesn't sound like much, I realize, but she was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hand all the time, as if they were afraid they'd bore you or something. Jane was different. We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were. ~J. D. Salinger

Oh, and I suppose the apples ate the cheese. ~Suzanne Collins

All artists are anarchists in some way; some more extreme than others, but it is something that I think artists are supposed to do. We are supposed to present a different angle on everything, and I certainly think it is as much as poetry, in my opinion. ~Robert Zemeckis

A stumble may prevent a fall. ~English Proverb

I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

A half doctor near is better than a whole one far away. ~German Proverb

I am going to embarrass myself. I have accepted that fact, and that is just how it is going to be. ~Jen Lancaster
#quotes #jen-lancaster

But that's typical of me. "This is going to end in tears," I tell myself every time I balance a cup of coffee on the upholstered arm of the chair I'm sitting on. And then, lo and behold, the cup topples and even before it lands, I tell myself, "Told me so!" Not to spell out, or spill out, one of the metaphors of my life, but I always do the stupid thing and then I do it again. I never learn. ~Patricia Marx
#quotes #patricia-marx #weeping #stupidity

When you are starting out as an actor people are very interested in who you are because they want to know where they can put you. And quite often, and we're all guilty of this is our lives, we judge very quickly and we pigeon-hole people very quickly based on how they look and how they talk and how they dress and we think: "Oh yeah, we know who you are." ~Tom Hiddleston

Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events. ~Ralph Marston

One sister for sale, one sister for sale, one crying and spying young sister for sale. I'm really not kidding so who'll start the bidding. Do I hear a dollar? A nickle? A penny? Oh isnt there isn't, there isn't there any one person who will buy this sister for sale. This crying spying old young sister for sale. ~Shel Silverstein
#quotes #shel-silverstein #sisters

I have always been really scared of scary movies just because I live by myself; and then seeing something, then having a big imagination and then like thinking you see it in the middle of the night. So I've never been really into them. ~Ashley Tisdale

When I was 50 years old, I actually decided to draw up a list of half a dozen things that I really hadn't done very well, and I was going to make efforts to improve. One of them was skiing, and I really did become a very much better skier. ~Edmund Hillary

Humanitarian convictions are the linchpins of our salvation, and these an artist must champion. ~Eric Maisel
#quotes #eric-maisel #humanity #art

How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst
#quotes #robert-bringhurst #writing #poetry #money

I believe, as followers of Christ, we are commanded to reach out to the least of these in the name of Jesus and show them they matter a great deal to God, who sacrificed His only Son to reach them with His love. ~K.P. Yohannan

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing. ~Will Durant

Renewable energy is proven technology, the price is dropping, the rest of the world is going that way, that's where our investment should be going as well. ~Bob Brown

Irony: While we increasingly hold people more responsible if they drink and drive, we hold women less responsible if they drink and have sex. ~Warren Farrell

A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful. ~Judith Martin

The key to ending extreme poverty is to enable the poorest of the poor to get their foot on the ladder of development. The ladder of development hovers overhead, and the poorest of the poor are stuck beneath it. They lack the minimum amount of capital necessary to get a foothold, and therefore need a boost up to the first rung. ~Jeffrey Sachs
