Text Quotes
Every one of us is different in some way, but for those of us who are more different, we have to put more effort into convincing the less different that we can do the same thing they can, just differently  (Convincing Quotes) A trembling in the bones may carry a more convincing testimony than the dry documented deductions of the brain  (Convincing Quotes) Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing  (Convincing Quotes) If one cannot invent a really convincing lie, it is often better to stick to the truth  (Convincing Quotes) Obama still has work to do with the vision thing. Convincing voters that he has a credible, practical plan to turn the nation around is a process, not a speech  (Convincing Quotes) I always find that I have to be emotionally on my character’s side for it to be convincing  (Convincing Quotes) Revision has its own peculiar pleasures and its own peculiar frustrations. The ground rules are already established; the characters already exist. You don’t have to bring the characters to life, but you do have to make them more convincing  (Convincing Quotes) Religion hinges upon faith, politics hinges upon who can tell the most convincing lies or maybe just shout the loudest, but science hinges upon whether its conclusions resembe what actually happens  (Convincing Quotes) It’s true that someone will always say that good and evil don’t exist: that is a person who has never had any dealings with real evil. Good is far less convincing than evil, but it’s because their chemical structures are different. Like gold, good is never found in a pure state in nature: it therefore doesn’t seem impressive. It has the unfortunate tendency not to act; it prefers, passively, to be seen  (Convincing Quotes) And when is it ever convincing, the belief others have in your abilities? You know perfectly well they can’t see the mess inside you  (Convincing Quotes) I am far from sure when I am acting and when I am not or, should I more frankly put it, when I am lying and when I am not. For what is acting but lying and what is good acting but convincing lying?  (Convincing Quotes) There were also the razor marks on her wrists and forearms, half a dozen per arm, not very deep, not very convincing really, just a lame, hapless attempt at hurting herself. There hadn’t even been that much blood and nobody at the hospital had been at all surprised. These scars, for some reason, he didn’t mind. Maybe they even appealed to him. They showed that she was weak and in need of him  (Convincing Quotes) What identifies an individual as a king is how other people behave towards him. All authority is assumed, and if other people don’t accept your authority then you don’t have it. Perhaps the critical thing to being a convincing figure of authority is actually not to try too hard  (Convincing Quotes) It’s not about supplication, it’s about power. It’s not about asking, it’s about demanding. It’s not about convincing those who are currently in power, it’s about changing the very face of power itself  (Convincing Quotes) People think they know all these things about other people, and if you ask them why they think they know that, it’d be hard for them to be convincing  (Convincing Quotes) It’s much easier to be convincing if you care about your topic. Figure out what’s important to you about your message and speak from the heart  (Convincing Quotes) Your biggest challenge as an entrepreneur is not concealing your idea from others or keeping your idea a secret, it is actually convincing people that you’re not crazy and that you can pull this off  (Convincing Quotes) There’s no better guarantee of failure than convincing yourself that success is impossible, and therefore never even trying  (Convincing Quotes) There are technical tricks that may help you create more effective characters. My approach to characterization is not at all technical. I can’t really analyze how I do it, but I am sure of one thing. To write convincing characters, you must possess the ability to think yourself into someone else’s skin  (Convincing Quotes) I do think I have an ability to record sensual and emotional facts and factoids, to construct a convincing surface of what life feels like, both physical life and emotional life  (Convincing Quotes) The more people know about an actor the less convincing they become. A bit of mystery’s a good thing  (Convincing Quotes) An atheist chaplain would be the perfect vehicle for convincing wounded warriors that they should end their lives because there’s nothing in the future and there’s nothing now, so why not just save money and kill themselves  (Convincing Quotes) Coaching is salesmanship. Coaching is winning players over and convincing them they have to play together. It takes a team conviction to play together to make things work  (Convincing Quotes) In more than 20 years I’ve spent studying the issue, I have yet to hear a convincing argument that college football has anything do with what is presumably the primary purpose of higher education: academics  (Convincing Quotes) The paintings in our galleries are seen one day in bright sunshine and another day in the dim light of a rainy afternoon, yet they remain the same paintings, ever faithful, ever convincing. To a marvelous extent they carry their own light within. For their truth is not that of a perfect replica, it is the truth of art  (Convincing Quotes) From the point of view of art, there are no concrete or abstract forms, but only forms which are more or less convincing lies  (Convincing Quotes) The standard of living has risen along with the size of the world’s population since the beginning of recorded time. There is no convincing economic reason why these trends toward a better life should not continue indefinitely  (Convincing Quotes) The most convincing artistic forms of our time are inner models of structural vitality and social relevance. They give us confidence that in spite of everything there is still quality to life  (Convincing Quotes) It’s not about pop culture, and it’s not about fooling people, and it’s not about convincing people that they want something they don’t. We figure out what we want. And I think we’re pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That’s what we get paid to do  (Convincing Quotes) The art of any propagandist and agitator consists in his ability to find the best means of influencing any given audience, by presenting a definite truth, in such a way as to make it most convincing, most easy to digest, most graphic, and most strongly impressive  (Convincing Quotes)
