Graceful Quotes

The coconut trees, lithe and graceful, crowd the beach like a minuet of slender elderly virgins adopting flippant poses Picture Quote #1

There is nothing in the animal world, to my mind, more delightful than grown cats at play. They are so swift and light and graceful, so subtle and designing, and yet so richly comic Picture Quote #1

Playing chess is more athletic than artistic. Champions are more concerned with victory than beauty: it’s war with occasionally graceful kicks Picture Quote #1

The world of maps is nice and flat and simple. It has areas for people and areas for monsters. What a shock it is to discover the world is round and the areas merge and nothing separates the monsters and ourselves; that we are all whirling around in space together and there isn’t even a graceful way of falling off Picture Quote #1

Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven’t gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course, everyone wants to own copyrights. Rap culture is interesting and different and has purpose, but it has a nonromantic view of life and of social feelings. There may be a void in that Picture Quote #1

The tea ceremony requires years of training and practice... yet the whole of this art, as to its detail, signifies no more than the making and serving of a cup of tea. The supremely important matter is that the act be performed in the most perfect, most polite, most graceful, most charming manner possible Picture Quote #1

Throughout this book, we’ve been evangelizing simplicity, but ironically, the practice of simplicity is not simple. It is easy to build a bulky design by adding layer upon layer of navigation and features; it’s much more difficult to create simple, graceful designs. Paring designs to essential elements while maintaining elegance and functionality requires courage and discipline Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to realize that in any competition there is always a winner and loser. When it turns out that you’re the loser on a given day, you can be a graceful loser, but it doesn’t mean that you’re a loser in the sense that you’re willing to accept losses readily. Concede that on that day you weren’t the best and that you were beaten in competition. But that should make you more dedicated and hard working. It’s wrong to accept defeat as a loser. Be graceful about losing, but don’t accept it Picture Quote #1

I watch the confusion of friends all numb with love moving like stray dogs to the anthem of night long conversations of pulsing rhythms and random voltage voices in spite of themselves graceful as these raindrops creeping spermlike across the car window Picture Quote #1

I was a dork. I’m still kind of goofy and clumsy and not always the most graceful person Picture Quote #1

Of course, fighting is not going to be as graceful as movie fighting. I don’t like it to be ugly and I don’t like it to be one big brawl or people clobbering each other Picture Quote #1

I’m focused now, definitely. I absolutely need to show everyone that I’m powerful and strong and can be graceful and artistic, too Picture Quote #1

When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing, my dad was a king of the clubs, a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover Picture Quote #1

As the ongoing industrial crusade to turn all earthly life to commercial purpose relentlessly impoverishes the biosphere and human culture, our living images of graceful possibility dwindle Picture Quote #1

I’ve been lifting weights since I was literally 15 or 16 years old. My muscles are short and powerful and built to lift heavy weights, not to be graceful and glide around a dance floor Picture Quote #1

We can learn to trust ourselves by inquiring within. To practice doing this, sit quietly, close your eyes, and for a minute focus your attention on your breathing. Gently visualize your inner wisdom as a graceful butterfly. Admire her beauty, and encourage your butterfly to sit on your shoulder and whisper her wisdom in your ear. Be still and listen Picture Quote #1

A graceful and blessed old age must have three elements in it: a happy retrospect, a peaceful present, and an inspiring future. And old age cannot have either one of these three if the youth has been wasted and manhood has been misspent Picture Quote #1

I bought... the pins with my three daughters in mind; the ships are beautiful, graceful, and moving along at full sail, having long since left home port Picture Quote #1

Flirtation... is a graceful salute to sex, a small impermanent spark between one human being and another, between a man and a woman not in need of fire Picture Quote #1

The columbine... is a graceful slender creature, a female seeking retirement, and growing freest and most graceful where it is most alone. I observed that the more shaded plants were always the tallest Picture Quote #1

It seems to take a lifetime for us to learn that wisdom consists largely in a graceful acceptance of things that do not immediately concern us Picture Quote #1

In most fields of endeavor there are no easy jobs; there are only graceful ways of performing difficult ones Picture Quote #1

Physical exercise makes you more graceful. After some gymnasitics you walk as if the whole street is yours Picture Quote #1

Get a scalpel, and practice just, say, cutting a piece of meat or something like that. You sort of learn how you want to hold your fingers, and that sort of thing, and try to become graceful when you operate Picture Quote #1

I believe that I definitely developed into a refined and graceful woman due to ballet. It has shaped me in every way Picture Quote #1

Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves Picture Quote #1

In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it Picture Quote #1

She was a woman who, between courses, could be graceful with her elbows on the table Picture Quote #1

Those graceful acts, those thousand decencies, that daily flow from all her words and actions, mixed with love and sweet compliance, which declare unfeigned union of mind, or in us both one soul Picture Quote #1

The effects of opposition are wonderful. There are men who rise refreshed on hearing of a threat, men to whom a crisis, which intimidates and paralyzes the majority, comes as graceful and beloved as a bride! Picture Quote #1
