Description Quotes

But there was happiness elsewhere which no description can reach Picture Quote #1

My job description is... being enthusiastic Picture Quote #1

We turned an anthem into an assignment, a poem into a job description Picture Quote #1

Don’t be limited by your job description Picture Quote #1

My job description is that I’m a rock star. And I’m good at it Picture Quote #1

Well, each interpretation of an event, setting or character is unique to each of those who read it because they clothe the author's description with the memory of their own experiences. Every character they read is actually a complex amalgam of people they've met, read or seen before - far more real than it can ever be just from the text on the page. Because every reader's experiences are different, each book is unique for each reader Picture Quote #1

I had found by experience that putting things down on paper helped to clear the mind in precisely the same way, as Mrs. Mullet had taught me, that an eggshell clarifies the consommé or the coffee, which, of course, is a simple matter of chemistry. The albumin contained in the eggshell has the property of collecting and binding the rubbish that floats in the dark liquid, which can then be removed and discarded in a single reeking clot: a perfect description of the writing process Picture Quote #1

What's been important in my understanding of myself and others is the fact that each one of us is so much more than any one thing. A sick child is much more than his or her sickness. A person with a disability is much, much more than a handicap. A pediatrician is more than a medical doctor. You're much more than your job description or your age or your income or your output Picture Quote #1

War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality Picture Quote #1

When you realize that there's a name and a description for this condition that you thought was insanity, you've identified the problem, and now you can do something about it Picture Quote #1

I had believed the Bible always, but reading it now had nothing to do with belief. It was simply a description of the way things were - of hell and heaven, of how men act and how God acts Picture Quote #1

The light in her eyes was beyond description, yet it did not instill improper thoughts: it inspired a love tempered by awe, purifying the hearts it inflamed Picture Quote #1

It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad Picture Quote #1

I told him I'd always found the description a little too long on adjectives and a little too short on specifics Picture Quote #1

The prescription of the equality of human beings is not a description of an alleged actual equality among humans: it is a prescription of how we should treat human beings Picture Quote #1

A frenzy of activity that had mostly led him in circles: wasn't that a fairly accurate description of lust? Picture Quote #1

He hath achieved a maid that paragons description and wild fame; one that excels the quirks of blazoning pens, and in th' essential vesture of creation does tire the ingener Picture Quote #1

I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience - it also marks the time, which is four o clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the Eastern hemisphere Picture Quote #1

I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use Picture Quote #1

The world is a country which nobody ever yet knew by description; one must travel through it one's self to be acquainted with it Picture Quote #1

I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall Picture Quote #1

Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description, as science writers, but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We're dreamers, you see, but we're also realists, of a sort Picture Quote #1

There are hopes, the bloom of whose beauty would be spoiled by the trammels of description; too lovely, too delicate, too sacred for words, they should only be known through the sympathy of hearts Picture Quote #1

To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture Picture Quote #1

Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description Picture Quote #1

The cause, then, philosophically speaking, is the sum total of the conditions, positive and negative, taken together; the whole of the contingencies of every description, which being realized, the consequent invariably follows Picture Quote #1

That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home Picture Quote #1

[British description of U. S. Soldiers stationed in England during World War II] they’re over - paid, they’re over-sexed, and they’re over here Picture Quote #1

Any pilot can describe the mechanics of flying. What it can do for the spirit of man is beyond description Picture Quote #1
