Famous Quotes & Sayings

Aldous Huxley

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . . Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.

Alexander Pope

I am his Highness' dog at Kew; Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?

E. G. Marshall

I try to think what the character is thinking. Then, hopefully, I begin to feel it. I act and react not because Im recalling a dog killed by a fire engine, but because Im concentrating on what the character is going through.

E. L. Konigsburg

I'm not sure that love and like aren't like cats and dogs: One can't grow up to be the other, but they can be taught to live under the same roof.

E. M. Forster

Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.

E. M. Forster

A sentence begins quite simply, then it undulates and expands, parentheses intervene like quick-set hedges, the flowers of comparison bloom, and three fields off, like a wounded partridge, crouches the principal verb, making one wonder as one picks it up, poor little thing, whether after all it was worth such a tramp, so many guns, and such expensive dogs, and what, after all, is its relation to the main subject, potted so gaily half a page back, and proving finally to have been in the accusative case.

Drew Curtis

I'm not really sure what I'd like to see people doing more of online, but what I'd like to see less of is the warning signs that not ratifying net neutrality is gonna cause two separate nets: one that the big dogs can afford to be on and the other a ghetto internet that no one goes on. Think FM vs AM radio, or cable vs broadcast TV.

Drew Barrymore

There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say, oh God, I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself.

Drew Barrymore

I've got Flossie dog, and she is great. She and I are still in love, 14 years. That's a relationship that works.

Billy Blanks

Where I am today, is where my mind and will put me, where I am tomorrow is where my mind will put me.

Dalai Lama

If your mind is scattered, it is quite powerless.

Dalai Lama

As human beings we have the same experience of destructive and constructive emotions. We also have a human mind capable of developing wisdom. We all have the same Buddha nature.

Amos Lee

I love what I do, so I don't mind working.

Anthony de Mello

The human mind makes foolish divisions in what love sees as one.

Alvar Aalto

Objects are made to be completed by the human mind.

Alma Guillermoprieto

I may not have a practical mind, but it's very fixated on concrete things. I like detail.

Anne Sexton

I am alone here in my own mind. There is no map and there is no road. It is one of a kind just as yours is.

Anne Rice

You never know the palette of the one you kill until the mind disgorges its finest colours.
