Figures Quotes

Professors could silence me then; they had figures, diagrams, maps, books.... I was learning that books and diagrams can be evil things if they deaden the mind of man and make him blind or cynical before subjection of any kind Picture Quote #1

Step-parenting and being a step-sibling presents a lot of exciting opportunities. When families break up and re-form, there may be less order, less certainty, and a bit more trauma involved, but kids can end up having half-a-dozen parent figures Picture Quote #1

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough Picture Quote #1

A smile appears on the faces of most archaic figures, a happiness of expression seeming to transcend that of human beings Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I tend to be drawn to marginal people - writers, poet-prophets, seers, eccentrics - who embody the deeper ambivalences of their societies and bear deeper witness to their world than the famous figures we are used to celebrating, or demonizing, in our histories Picture Quote #1

There’s a challenge to playing these fantasy figures because they are fantasy figures. You have to enter into this sort of imaginative world of the writer Picture Quote #1

Fathers are so necessary as examples and guides for our children in wisdom and virtue. Without father figures, young people often feel orphaned; left adrift at a critical moment in their growth and development Picture Quote #1

I used to think that the worst form of discrimination for women was being hit on or hearing something disparaging. What’s even more challenging for young women is a very senior male who will take an interest in you, who see themselves as father figures or mentors Picture Quote #1

I’ve never known my real father, and I’ve never looked for a father figure in a boyfriend, but I suppose I have looked for real father figures in my life - and I’ve acquired more than one. I certainly couldn’t ask for better ones. I love them enormously - and they know that Picture Quote #1

My voice as a filmmaker is always about boys searching for their fathers. And not only boys, but all children looking for those figures in their lives Picture Quote #1

It was always one of my favorite things, the action figures, the video games, when I was with WWE, even though I’m not a gamer. I would literally go out and buy the games just so I could play myself Picture Quote #1

The prosecutor uttered the party line that would distinguish revue from burlesque for the next thirty years. The difference is movement. On Broadway, unadorned female figures are used to artistic advantage in tableaux. They do not move Picture Quote #1

When I paint figures it’s never the idea of painting the beauty of the figure, it is using the figure to get across how I feel Picture Quote #1

Language becomes a prison house only poets can escape...if we do not reject any strict distinctions between ordinary usage and figures of speech Picture Quote #1

Writing for me is a dragnet that carries everything away with it: expressions and figures of speech, postures, feelings, thoughts, troubles. In short, the lives of others Picture Quote #1

I think once you start putting phony figures into financial statements, you get in a lot of trouble. And we’ve seen so much of that in the last 20 years Picture Quote #1

Without stories we end up with stereotypes -- a flat earth with flat cardboard figures that have no texture or depth, no INTERIOR Picture Quote #1

Every time the good giants try to cut back on salt, sugar, fat calories, inevitably Wall Street raises its hand and is looking at the sales figures and the revenue and saying, ‘Thou shalt not result in any loss of profit.’ There’s huge continuing pressure on the food companies Picture Quote #1

There are some who complain that there is not enough food grain. But I put the argument that at the moment we use 2000 census population figures and require 50-55 million tonnes for distribution Picture Quote #1

I plan to see St. Louis as a global competitor. As an international trade hub, as an incubator of new companies, as a place of culture and the arts, as a magnet for immigrants, for entrepreneurs, for animal lovers, and for gays, as a city of parks and trails, and as the sort of place that figures in young people’s dreams Picture Quote #1

In an Italian household, there were two figures for me growing up - you had the Pope and you had Frank Sinatra, and, of course, Tony Bennett. And not necessarily in that order Picture Quote #1

Epilepsy is a disease in the shadows. Patients are often reluctant to admit their condition - even to close family, friends or co-workers - because there’s still a great deal of stigma and mystery surrounding the disease that plagued such historical figures as Julius Caesar, Edgar Allan Poe and Lewis Carroll Picture Quote #1

Tom Walls and his cohort are wolves in sheep’s clothing who will besmirch the memory of some genuine historic figures by the next full moon Picture Quote #1

I see fighters make funny videos about me and stick them on Facebook and get 20 likes. When I make a video, I sell it to Fox and make seven figures. That’s the difference Picture Quote #1

For many years, I have kept in my office an ink drawing of two smiling figures with their arms around each other: Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha, with the caption: Jesus and Buddha must be very good friends. They are not the same, but they are friends, not enemies, and they are not indifferent to one another Picture Quote #1

In business, the market gives you feedback in real time. Your sales figures tell you what’s working, what isn’t, and how you need to change. If you don’t listen to the feedback, you go belly up. In philanthropy, there is no market Picture Quote #1

God is able to create particles of matter of several sizes and figures and perhaps of different densities and forces, and thereby to vary the laws of nature, and make worlds of several sorts in several parts of the Universe Picture Quote #1

To have a film where there’s an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that’s one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it’s not very pleasant to draw evil figures Picture Quote #1

I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures Picture Quote #1

Our demand for good looks, expressed in the biting comments that ensue when public figures fall short of perfection, puts enormous pressures on these individuals and may screen out the otherwise qualified. If video killed the radio star, it may also be doing away with the homely politician Picture Quote #1
