Famous Quotes & Sayings

Rob Zombie

I know when something is done and when it isn't. There's been times working on movies when they [moviemakers] lock in a release date and so you're stuck to that schedule. But sometimes you're still editing and you feel like you're not really done, but they're sort of releasing the movie anyway - that's kind of depressing.

Rex Harrison

A woman who utters such disgusting and depressing noise has no right to be anywhere, no right to live. Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech, that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and The Bible. Don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.

Ryan McGinley

I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images.

Ron Blomberg

Watching National League pitchers trying to hit or even bunt is depressing.

Woody Allen

The process of making films is so technically demanding that it's a distraction. You don't spend your time thinking about the philosophical content, which is often very depressing.

Saul Bellow

In the history of the world many souls have been, are, and will be, and with a little reflection this is marvelous and not depressing. Many jerks are made gloomy about it, for they think quantity buries them alive. That's just crazy. Numbers are very dangerous, but the main thing about them is that they humble your pride. And that's good.

Troy Garity

School is such an encouraging and safe environment. It's filled with idealism and just really working on your craft. When you enter the business world - where art meets commerce - it can become quite depressing.

Ronald Reagan

Supporters of this fundamental change in immigration policy say we need to import more well-educated talent if we're to stay competitive. But exactly whose competitiveness are we talking about? Not the competitiveness of, say, American-born computer engineers. Adjusted for inflation, their earnings haven't gone anywhere in years. That's in part because American companies have been sending so much of their high-tech work abroad. Bringing more foreign-born engineers here under an expanded H1-B visa program, or a point system for that matter, will just depress wages even further.

Wendell Berry

Rural poverty happens because people aren't being paid to take adequate care of their places. There's lots of work to do here. And you can't afford to pay anybody to do it! If you depress the price of the products of the place below a certain level, people can't afford to maintain it. And that's the rural dilemma.

George Bernard Shaw

I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.

George Bernard Shaw

If 'Pygmalion' is not good enough for your friends with its own verbal music, their talent must be altogether extraordinary.

George Bernard Shaw

What is life but a series of inspired follies...

George Bernard Shaw

The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no thirdclass carriages, and one soul is as good as another.

George Bernard Shaw

The great secret...is not having bad manners or good manners...but having the same manner for all human souls.

George Bernard Shaw

If you can’t appreciate what you’ve got, you’d better get what you can appreciate.

Casey Miller

Our native language is like a second skin, so much a part of us we resist the idea that it is constantly changing, constantly being renewed.

Rick Renzi

I have a high regard for Native languages and the pivotal role they have played in our nation's history

George Stigler

A Swedish physicist can not discuss his work with fifty people unless he goes abroad. A Swedish economist can get opinions and instructions in his native language from thousands upon thousands of his fellow citizens.
