Famous Quotes & Sayings

Brandon Sanderson

I consider myself to be a man of principle. But, what man does not? Even the cutthroat, I have noticed, considers his actions "moral" after a fashion. Perhaps another person, reading of my life, would name me a religious tyrant. He could call me arrogant. What is to make that man's opinion any less valid than my own? I guess it all comes down to one fact: In the end, I'm the one with the armies.

Archie Panjabi

Camila Alves

Embrace yourself and do what you can to look and feel your best. Dont put on so many fashion trends that create a ridiculous style statement. Pick and choose what feels good, and flatters your own body.

Cam Newton

The NBA definitely has some trendsetters that stay up on the latest fashion, but I think you're starting to see guys like myself and others get some much-deserved respect in the style department.

Alanis Morissette

I need to be performing. I need to be acting. I need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. There always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.

Arthur C. Clarke

You will find men like him in all of the world's religions. They know that we represent reason and science, and, however confident they may be in their beliefs, they fear that we will overthrow their gods. Not necessarily through any deliberate act, but in a subtler fashion. Science can destroy a religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the nonexistance of Zeus or Thor, but they have few followers now.

Baltasar Gracian

A person of your century: Great persons are of their time. Not all were born into a period worthy of them, and many so born failed to benefit by it. Some merited a better century, for all that is good does not always triumph. Fashions have their periods and even the greatest virtues, their styles. But the philosopher, being ageless, has one advantage: Should this not prove the right century, many to follow will.

Arundhati Roy

As Indian citizens, we subsist on a regular diet of caste massacres and nuclear tests, mosque breakings and fashion shows, church burnings and expanding cell phone networks, bonded labor and the digital revolution, female infanticide and the NASDAQ crash, husbands who continue to burn their wives for dowry and our delectable stockpile of Miss Worlds. What's hard to reconcile oneself to, both personally and politically, is the schizophrenic nature of it.

Livia Landry

There are moments when I am so distraught, I can't function.

Brent Weeks

Alicia Keys

Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.

Lance Armstrong

Those are motivating moments for me. That's the way I can give back to someone who is in the same position I was.

Sue Monk Kidd

I could even feel how perishable all my moments really were, how all my life they had come to me begging to be lived, to be cherished even.

E. M. Forster

Very notable was his distinction between coarseness and vulgarity, coarseness, revealing something; vulgarity, concealing something.

William Hazlitt

A thing is not vulgar merely because it is common.
