Text Quotes
My youngest son’s pre-school class was recently asked what their dads do for work. The responses were things like, my dad sells money, and my dad figures stuff out. My son said, ‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’ It’s true. Skateboarding doesn’t seem like real work, but I’m proud of what I do. (Figures Quotes)
Martha Graham, along with George Balanchine, is one of the two commanding figures in 20th-century American dance. For those much younger than I am, her genius as a performer will have to be taken on faith - and on the always-suspect evidence of film. What will last, if things go well, is her genius as a choreographer, as a woman of the theater. (Figures Quotes)
Our political leaders must be honest and forthcoming with data that will allow citizens to use facts and figures to judge for themselves what state Social Security is in. (Figures Quotes)
When I look at the people who are the guiding figures in modern dance, I think, ‘This does not look to me like the way I want to spend my days.’ (Figures Quotes)
But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them, With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them. (Figures Quotes)
The Latin American debt that reached crisis levels from 1982 would have been sharply reduced by return of flight capital - in some cases, overcome, though all figures are dubious for these secret and often illegal operations. (Figures Quotes)
Using cold facts and figures, leaders throughout the West must become more transparent with their citizens in explaining their decisions and their choices in global markets. (Figures Quotes)
I felt as if I were sitting in the window of an enormous department store. The figures around me weren’t people, but shop dummies, painted to resemble people and propped up in attitudes counterfeiting life. (Figures Quotes)
When public figures remain silent about depression, there is a cost to the rest of society. Silence contributes to the misperception that successful people do not get depressed, and it keeps the public from seeing that treatment allows many individuals to return to competitive professional lives. (Figures Quotes)
I love facts and figures. It’s like following a detective story, piecing together what’s going on in the economy. (Figures Quotes)
Write as precisely and as lucidly and as richly as you can about what you find truly mysterious and irreducible about human experience, and not obscurely about what will prove to be received opinion or cliche once the reader figures out your stylistic conceit. There’s all the difference in the world between mystery and mystification. (Figures Quotes)
All I’m being offered now are parts that are authority figures. I’ve done that. And that’s not what I want. I want something different. (Figures Quotes)
I started playing with digital technology early on in my work. I made digital collages with costumed figures using early versions of Photoshop in the 90s. I was trying to use the newly available digital technologies to combine real people and places with new imagined possibilities. (Figures Quotes)
A safe rule where Jewish propaganda is concerned is to multiply or divide their figures by ten, at least, before accepting them as the basis for discussion. (Figures Quotes)
What do I like about math? , When I’ve got figures in front of me, it relaxes me. Kind of like, everything fits where it belongs. (Figures Quotes)
Oh, don’t tell me of facts, I never believe facts; you know, [George] Canning said nothing was so fallacious as facts, except figures. (Figures Quotes)
Constance L. Rice, co-director of the Los Angeles of the Advancement Project, told the Times that Seltzer might have been influenced by David Simon’s fake ghetto series, The Wire. It figures. Isn’t this sexism? Isn’t this a double standard? They’re hard on this young woman for her fake ghetto book, yet praise these White guys for theirs. So there’s a big market in downing Black men. (Figures Quotes)
In 1958 I finally found a large enough apartment on the Lower East Side, where I reverted to figure painting. I drew and painted quite a lot of figures and nudes. People would come and pose for me. (Figures Quotes)
We understand that as public figures, we are a target for people who have nothing to lose in their quest for fame and easy money, ... preposterous, slanderous and defamatory lies. (Figures Quotes)
It’s so easy to use tired, shopworn figures of speech. I love using long, fancy words but have learned - mostly from writing my biography of Winston Churchill - that short, strong words work better. I am ever-vigilant against the passive and against jargon, both of which are so insidious. (Figures Quotes)
Slavery had very little to do with the economic success of the West. Just look at the facts and figures and how much slavery actually contributed to development. (Figures Quotes)
Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life. (Figures Quotes)
There are certain historical figures of such importance that we need to know everything about them, which is why books about Napoleon, Lincoln, Julius Caesar, Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth I, and the great religious founders continue to proliferate; these lives require constant reevaluation and interpretation. (Figures Quotes)
My brothers were my peers, but they were not the preeminent male figures in my emotional life (Figures Quotes)
The whole arrangement of my picture is expressive. The place occupied by the figures or objects, the empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything plays a part. (Figures Quotes)
God and Satan alike are essentially human figures, the one a projection of ourselves, the other of our enemies. (Figures Quotes)
I find more people want to eat a little less. My generation, we’re all watching our figures. They want to go to the bar and eat a few snacks, have a couple of cocktails or glasses of wine, and go home. People don’t sit down at the table and have a whole three or four courses. (Figures Quotes)
For more than two decades, Barry Diller has been among the most respected - and feared - figures in the entertainment industry. (Figures Quotes)
I have seen what the days of tribulation can do to people. I have seen hunger stalk the streets of Europe. I have witnessed the appalling, emaciated shadows of human figures. I have seen women and children scavenge army garbage dumps for scraps of food. Those scenes and nameless faces cannot be erased from my memory. (Figures Quotes)
When you mimic everyone, sometimes authority figures really don’t appreciate it which is not an original story. And pretty much every comedian has some tale of that. (Figures Quotes)
