Text Quotes
People are complex, and I think it’s a huge element of what I do, because you have to balance out the fact that you talk about quite serious things with a sense of irony and tongue-in-cheek humor. That’s my personality as well (Irony Quotes)
Such techniques, including meta-discursive stuff, self-reference, irony, black humor, cynicism, grotesquerie and shock, it would be safe to say that television or televisual values rule the culture. Television is successfully using a lot of those same techniques but using them for a very different agenda, which is to sort of create an ethos and please people and to sell products to consumers (Irony Quotes)
Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony (Irony Quotes)
Seeing any war through the distortion of comedy is healthy. There is just too much absurdity and irony at play in a combat zone not to pay attention to it. At least that’s how it struck me; others may have had an entirely different war experience (Irony Quotes)
Poetry teaches us things that cannot be learned in prose, such as certain kinds of irony or the importance of the unsaid. The most important element of any poem is the part that is left unsaid. So the poetry frames the experience that lies beyond naming (Irony Quotes)
Each day of the Obama presidency seems to bring a new, perversely delicious irony (Irony Quotes)
The irony is that ‘looking down on everybody else’ is a violation of the law of love, which, according to Jesus, is the absolute essence of righteousness (Irony Quotes)
The Academy Awards ceremony is designed to be without irony, but Chris Rock supplied it anyway with filmed movie-theater interviews with black men and women who had never heard of the movies nominated for Best Picture (Irony Quotes)
The irony of life is we always compare our fantasies with reality, rather than accepting the reality as is and transforming it into a paradise (Irony Quotes)
Here’s the irony in what I do: When I go out to eat, I like classic French food. I like amazing Japanese food that has such a history that it goes back hundreds of years. And I also like really innovative food as well. (Irony Quotes)
We lost faith in authority in the 50s, up to a point, and we spawned a lot of anti-heroes in movies, which were refreshing and open. But at this point, with the distrust that’s there and the disillusionment with leadership that is so acute, we need some kind of a focus on taking the irony out and taking the anti-hero element away. (Irony Quotes)
Melodrama is one of the most stunning art forms. These are stories where the emotions are big, and the situations are big, and the artists believe in the situation dramatically. There’s no irony or distance. (Irony Quotes)
You can’t use irony as a way of disengaging with the difficult or emotional aspects of life (Irony Quotes)
The other thing I said is the great irony is you will be back fighting against your own weapons. Had [Bashar] Assad been bombed when he used chemical weapons two years ago, ISIS would be in charge of all of Syria now. (Irony Quotes)
I think that you can fall into bad habits with comedy... It’s a tightrope to stay true to the character, true to the irony, and allow the irony to happen. (Irony Quotes)
There are ... two kinds of people in this world, those who long to be understood and those who long to be misunderstood. It is the irony of life that neither is gratified. (Irony Quotes)
I don’t mock things, which makes me more vulnerable to mockery myself. If you’re cynical, you’re protected from mockery. But I have to be nice. I don’t think I have irony. A sense of humour, yes, but not irony. (Irony Quotes)
That’s the difference between irony and sarcasm. Irony can be spontaneous, while sarcasm requires volition. You have to create sarcasm. (Irony Quotes)
The irony is that musical artists have enormous public voices, but behind the scenes we’re voiceless, actually. (Irony Quotes)
But the irony is that because the band isn’t the focus any more, it allows me the chance to enjoy being a member of Def Leppard much more. (Irony Quotes)
I don’t think I see the world in terms of stupid or clever, but in terms of being able to get irony. There’s some awful statistic about only 20 per cent of Americans being able to understand irony. (Irony Quotes)
People have different ideas, emotional ideas, of what certain words mean, and they think of irony as something that’s more associated with being cynical-it’s kind of a put-down. (Irony Quotes)
The irony of man’s condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive. (Irony Quotes)
Well, it’d certainly be fascinating if we discovered that gays were better at being married than heterosexuals are. Talk about irony. (Irony Quotes)
I love the idea of things being strict and things being uniform. That’s the reason why I surround each collection with humor or irony. I want to make sure that it’s not too serious and that there is some element that throws it off because otherwise that would make it really boring. There’s always a story that’s somewhat fantastical. (Irony Quotes)
But the irony is they think they’re being tough on ISIS and Trump thinks he’s being tough on ISIS. Senator Rubio in his interview with you touched on it very, very lightly. (Irony Quotes)
I never used to believe in fate. I used to think you make your own life and then you call it fate. That’s why I call it irony. (Irony Quotes)
It would no doubt be very sentimental to argue - but I would argue it nevertheless - that the peculiar combination of joy and sadness in bell music - both of clock chimes, and of change-ringing - is very typical of England. It is of a piece with the irony in which English people habitually address one another. (Irony Quotes)
Part of the terrible irony of war is that it enlists the best in human nature for purposes of mutual destruction. (Irony Quotes)
Ah, woman. She is an enigma. An anomaly of perfection and irony. She can lure angels into her arms and give birth to a nation of ideologies. (Irony Quotes)
