Famous Quotes & Sayings

Huey Newton

Hank Azaria

I've always been a fan of plain writing. I hate metaphor-laden, heavily larded, lyrical writing.

Hank Aaron

I used to love to come to the ballpark. Now I hate it. Every day becomes a little tougher because of all this. Writers, tape recorders, microphones, cameras, questions and more questions. Roger Maris lost his hair the season he hit sixty-one. I still have all my hair, but when it's over, I'm going home to Mobile and fish for a long time.

Gore Vidal

At least when the Emperor Justinian, a sky-god man, decided to outlaw sodomy, he had to come up with a good practical reason, which he did. It is well known, Justinian declared, that buggery is a principal cause of earthquakes, and so must be prohibited. But our sky-godders, always eager to hate, still quote Leviticus, as if that looney text had anything useful to say about anything except, perhaps, the inadvisability of eating shellfish in the Jerusalem area.

Harold Pinter

I hate brandy...it stinks of modern literature.

Jamaica Kincaid

There are things that make us choose, on certain days, on certain nights, the opposite of love, in all its variations. But I want to acknowledge that with love and hate it's not simply one or the other. It's at least two, three, four, five different emotions existing at once, side by side, a broad spectrum of things alive.

Jaime Murray

If I had known how much I hate auditioning, I doubt I would have become an actress.

Jacques Barzun

The nation in arms is virtually a communist state: the people must be paid wages and fed and protected and regimented behind the lines as much as on the front. Minds must be kept loyal and at the right pitch of hate, so that successive drafts of fighters are accepted without murmurings. Letters and newspapers must be censored while the propaganda mill grinds on. As for decisions of strategy and overall command, they must please many masters: dissenters in the cabinet, the heads of the allied states and public opinion. Hence failures must be disguised or concealed.

Jacques Barzun

To denounce does not free the self from what it hates, any more than ignoring the past shuts off its influence.

Jackee Harry

I hate to say it, but the older you get, you really do have to cut down on the amount you eat. Less food and less portions.

Jackie Chan

I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?.

Jackie Chan

I hate interviews - but you have to do them.

Jack White

I'm one of those people that you have to keep your eye on or I'll wander off into the woods and forget to come back.

Jack White

When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.

Jennifer Beals

We can have the final word on hate, neglect, disease and all the other insidious characters that still script their way into our stories...for now, but not forever.

We love without reason, and without reason we hate.

Jean Nouvel

I generally hate the luxury modern apartment with too many things out of sight and so clean you cannot touch.

Graham Swift

Of course there are times when I hate London, but equally there are times when I can walk 'round a corner and I really feel that this is my place.

Graham Norton

The higher your profile becomes, the more aware you are that people out there might hate you.

Giacomo Leopardi

Men do not so much hate an evil-doer, or evil itself, as they hate the man who calls evil by its real name.

Giacomo Casanova

Hatred, in the course of time, kills the unhappy wretch who delights in nursing it in his bosom.

Georgia O'Keeffe

I always have a curious sort of feeling about some of my things - I hate to show them - I am perfectly inconsistent about it - I am afraid people won't understand - and I hope they won't - and am afraid they will.

Jim Jefferies

If you hate gay marriage, then don't marry a gay person.

Jim Croce

If I had time in a bottle, if words could make wishes come true, I'd save everyday for eternity passes. And then I would spend them with you.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

If I condemn something, I do not understand it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Beyond all explanations which a good brain can give, why do we choose the worse and not the better, why hate rather than love, why greed and not generosity, why self-centred activity and not open total action? Why be mean when there are soaring mountains and flashing streams? Why jealousy and not love? Why?

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Meditation is the most extraordinary thing if you know how to do it, and you cannot possibly learn from anybody; and that's the beauty of it. It isn't something you learn, a technique, and therefore there is no authority. Therefore if you will learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, the way you talk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy. If you are aware of it without any choice, all that is part of meditation, and as you go, as you journey, as that movement goes, all that movement is meditation. Then that movement is endless, timeless.

Jessamyn West

One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.

Jessamyn West

I seem to be the only person in the world who doesn't mind being pitied. If you love me, pity me. The human state is pitiable: born to die, capable of so much, accomplishing so little; killing instead of creating, destroying instead of building, hating instead of loving. Pitiful, pitiful.

Jeremy Paxman

I hate the word 'sneering', I can't help the way my face looks.
