I Used To Quotes

You never count your chickens before they hatch. I used to keep parakeets and I never counted every egg thinking I would get all eight birds. You just hoped they came out of the nest box looking all right. I’m like a swan at the moment. I look fine on top of the water but under the water my little legs are going mad Picture Quote #1

I used to think that if I had success I would have freedom. But I have less freedom now than I’ve ever had. And what gives me satisfaction is not the jewelry and not the cars. What gives me satisfaction is doing things for others, like children Picture Quote #1

And I don’t really drink alot of booze, alcohol will kill ya... but I smoke all the pot I can find, I don’t smoke it all at once, I just do a little bit at a time, and I uh, I used to take acid but I quit around 1971 Picture Quote #1

I used to think that when I set out that doing the research was enough! But then the gaps would emerge that could only be filled by the imagination. And imagination only comes when you privilege the subconscious, when you make delay and procrastination work for you Picture Quote #1

I used to read every, well, most nights. I think reading helps me in terms of relaxing... It helps me to get my mind off the game a little bit more and it helps me to be a little bit more focused Picture Quote #1

I used to play golf with a guy who cheated so badly that he once had a hole in one and wrote down zero on the scorecard Picture Quote #1

I wanted to travel from the beginning. As a kid, I used to dream about airplanes, before I ever flew in one Picture Quote #1

We are all hypocrites in transition. I am not who I want to be, but I am on the journey there, and thankfully I am not whom I used to be Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid I used to tell myself the moon was a silver gong and if I could climb high enough to beat on it with both hands all my wishes would come true Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned a lot of things about myself through singing. I used to have a certain dislike of the audience, not as individual people, but as a giant body who was judging me. Of course, it wasn’t really them judging me. It was me judging me. Once I got past that fear, it freed me up, not just when I was performing but in other parts of my life Picture Quote #1

I can’t really do the running on hard ground that I used to do. Instead I go swimming as often as possible Picture Quote #1

When I was little, I used to work with my dad on the engine of his car. Mostly this was a matter of me handing him wrenches Picture Quote #1

I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I’m feeling great Picture Quote #1

It’s fun to be blond, and it’s almost difficult to remember how I used to look with my proper hair color Picture Quote #1

I can’t hit some of the real high notes I used to hit, but it makes you have to explore different avenues Picture Quote #1

I used to like to break into other people’s houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone’s empty house Picture Quote #1

I used to take everything at face value. Because, when I say something, I mean it... so I used to feel that everybody else meant what they said. But of course that wasn’t true. And life isn’t that sweet and simple Picture Quote #1

I used to think there was a scientific way to do things. Like a proper way to answer a question or that kind of stuff. It’s like, there’s not! There’s not a method, there’s not a science to it Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve been addicted to openness since long before my rock career. I was terrible as a teenager. I used to go out of my way to make people uncomfortable with personal details. I was always fascinated by the idea that we have these weird, random boundaries between what we do and don’t show Picture Quote #1

I used to draw cartoons. I’d just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them Picture Quote #1

The paparazzi stuff is a little weird. I used to leave the house in my pajamas. I can’t do that anymore, but I’m not complaining! Picture Quote #1

I used to just think about what my fans wanted all the time. But it just started feeling weird to me. I want to just show everyone who I am and stick to my vision. I have to trust myself Picture Quote #1

I used to go to the gym regularly and swim an awful lot, but that was when I was unemployed and knew leisure intimately Picture Quote #1

If you’re a young person, like I used to be and you’re at home and you’re being called weird or different, I’m here to tell you your critics do not count. Their words will fade. You won’t Picture Quote #1

I used to sing at funeral homes for families that didn’t have a vocalist. I didn’t get paid. I needed to sing Picture Quote #1

I used to do some philanthropic work, but with the political platform, I can contribute in a bigger way Picture Quote #1

I have a horrible memory and I used to consider that a liability, but I’ve learned along the way that talking to people is really a beautiful thing Picture Quote #1

I used to help my dad with a stall selling eggs when I was about 12. People were so hard up they would ask for one egg. But mostly no one came by at all. It was very demoralising Picture Quote #1

A man is likewise form and expression, a written sign thrown unto boundless matter, an undifferentiated word of what is. I’ve therefore been created in the image of the inscriptions that, as a child, I used to project unto my bits of bone, stone, wood, and iron, probably even in the image of a single one of their words, a single one of their letters Picture Quote #1

True, I used to see a lot of hope. I saw men tear down the veils behind which the truth had been hidden. But then the same men, when they have power in their hands at last, began to find the veils useful. They made many more. Life has not changed. Only some people have been growing, becoming different, that is all. After a youth spent fighting the white man, why should not the president discover as he grows older that his real desire has been to be like the white governor himself, to live above all the blackness in the big old slave castle? Picture Quote #1
