Text Quotes
Yes, success is everything. Failure is more common. Most achieve a sort of middling thing, but fortunately one’s situation is always blurred, you never know absolutely quite where you are  (Common Quotes) It isn’t the common man at all who is important: it’s the uncommon man  (Common Quotes) For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women  (Common Quotes) The rhythm persisted, the unfaltering common meter of blues, but the blueness itself, the sorrow, the despair, began to give way to hope  (Common Quotes) Naturally, the common people don’t want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country  (Common Quotes) Through my singing and acting and speaking, I want to make freedom ring. Maybe I can touch people’s hearts better than I can their minds, with the common struggle of the common man  (Common Quotes) Art and ideology often interact on each other; but the plain fact is that both spring from a common source. Both draw on human experience to explain mankind to itself; both attempt, in very different ways, to assemble coherence from seemingly unrelated phenomena; both stand guard for us against chaos  (Common Quotes) It seems as though women keep growing. Eventually they can have little or nothing in common with the men they chose long ago  (Common Quotes) It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity  (Common Quotes) The inspired scribbler always has the gift for gossip in our common usage he or she can always inspire the commonplace with an uncommon flavor, and transform trivialities by some original grace or sympathy or humor or affection  (Common Quotes) You cannot collaborate with another person toward some common end unless you know him. How can you know him, and he you, unless you have engaged in enough mutual disclosure of self to be able anticipate how he will react and what part he will play?  (Common Quotes) In the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life  (Common Quotes) Thou shalt understand that it is a science most profitable, and passing all other sciences, for to learn to die. For a man to know that he shall die, that is common to all men; as much as there is no man that may ever live or he hath hope or trust thereof; but thou shalt find full few that hath this cunning to learn to die. I shall give thee the mystery of this doctrine; the which shall profit thee greatly to the beginning of ghostly health, and to a stable fundamental of all virtues  (Common Quotes) The mug is a tool. My ace in the hole. To have looks is the bonus on top of what motivates me to be an actor. Not to realize they’re an asset would be counterproductive to the cause; they serve the common good  (Common Quotes) Pedantry, in the common acceptation of the word, means an absurd ostentation of learning, and stiffness of phraseology, proceeding from a misguided knowledge of books and a total ignorance of men  (Common Quotes) If common sense has not the brilliancy of the sun, it has the fixity of the stars  (Common Quotes) The cause of freedom is identified with the destinies of humanity, and in whatever part of the world it gains ground by and by, it will be a common gain to all those who desire it  (Common Quotes) To have common glories in the past, a common will in the present; to have done great things together; to wish to do greater; these are the essential conditions which make up a people  (Common Quotes) It is a common law of nature, which no time will ever change, that superiors shall rule their inferiors  (Common Quotes) Give bread to a stranger, in the name of the universal brotherhood which binds together all men under the common father of nature  (Common Quotes) It is wrong not to give a hand to the fallen. This right is common to the whole human race  (Common Quotes) The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you’re doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you’ve learned it  (Common Quotes) In the whole course of our work at the theatre we have been, I may say, drenched with advice by friendly people who for years gave us the reasons why we did not succeed... All their advice, or at least some of it, might have been good if we had wanted to make money, to make a common place of amusement  (Common Quotes) I am intrigued with the shapes people choose as their symbols to create a language. There is within all forms a basic structure, an indication of the entire object with a minimum of lines that becomes a symbol. This is common to all languages, all people, all times  (Common Quotes) There has to be a common sense cutoff for craziness, and when that threshold is exceeded, then the criteria for publication should get far, far more stringent  (Common Quotes) Leadership means forming a team and working toward common objectives that are tied to time, metrics, and resources  (Common Quotes) Real estate sales was perfect training for the experience to go into public life because you learn to accept rejection, learn to meet new people, learn to work with people and find common ground. That’s the way you sell houses... that’s also the way you win over constituency  (Common Quotes) There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they’re blending the pop, dance and theatricality... but currently there aren’t a lot of guys who go there  (Common Quotes) A gang is the same as a wolf pack; gang members do not use their energies in friendship with one another, for they do not know what friendship is. If they are united, it is by the common bond of a desire to attack their world  (Common Quotes) For myself, the only way I know how to make a book is to construct it like a collage: a bit of dialogue here, a scrap of narrative, an isolated description of a common object, an elaborate running metaphor which threads between the sequences and holds different narrative lines together  (Common Quotes)
