Line Quotes

I am against the line and all its consequences: contours, forms, composition. All paintings of whatever sort, figurative or abstract, seem to me like prison windows in which the lines, precisely are the bars Picture Quote #1

Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line Picture Quote #1

There is no possible line of conduct which has at some time and place been condemned, and which has not at some other time and place been enjoined as a duty Picture Quote #1

Charity in the theatre usually begins and ends with people who have a play opening the week following one’s own. Their unlikely benevolence is not so much a purity of heart as the knowledge that they face a firing line with rifles aimed in exactly the same direction Picture Quote #1

In a crowd, on a journey, at a banquet even, a line of thought can itself provide its own seclusion Picture Quote #1

Baseball is slovenly and excessive in midsummer, with its onrolling daily cascade of line scores and box scores, shifting statistics, highlights and lowlights, dingers and shutouts, streaks and slumps Picture Quote #1

I measure my life in sentences pressed out, line by line, like the lustrous ooze on the underside of the snail, the snail’s secret open seam, its wound, leaking attar Picture Quote #1

You name it and I’ve done it. I’d like to say I did it my way. But that line, I’m afraid, belongs to someone else Picture Quote #1

The many of us who attain what we may and forget those who help us along the line we’ve got to remember that there are so many others to pull along the way. The farther they go, the further we all go Picture Quote #1

Art is harmony. Harmony is the analogy of contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, conditioned by the dominate key, and under the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations Picture Quote #1

I’m not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don’t have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That’s the bottom line Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught, the squibbles go for base hits. It’s an unfair game Picture Quote #1

Jargon is the verbal sleight of hand that makes the old hat seem newly fashionable; it gives an air of novelty and specious profundity to ideas that, if stated directly, would seem superficial, stale, frivolous, or false. The line between serious and spurious scholarship is an easy one to blur, with jargon on your side Picture Quote #1

Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end, carrying us thither in a straight line Picture Quote #1

Every leaf is a spacious plain; every line a flowing brook; every period a lofty mountain Picture Quote #1

Grace can never properly be said to exist without beauty; for it is only in the elegant proportions of beautiful forms that can be found that harmonious variety of line and motion which is the essence and charm of grace Picture Quote #1

Happiness is not always through success. Equally, the constant pursuit of success is sure unhappiness. But we have to find the balance. My own thoughts are that parenting is very personal. And we all feel enormous insecurity about parenting. What are they going to think of us 20 years down the line? Picture Quote #1

Forty is the line of demarcation that says you’re an adult now. You’re an adult, so don’t pretend you’re a kid anymore Picture Quote #1

The bottom line: if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of your family’s positive moments and your ability to bounce back from the difficult ones. That act alone may increase the odds that your family will thrive for many generations to come Picture Quote #1

I don’t see that a single line can constitute a stanza, although it can constitute a whole poem Picture Quote #1

There is no line of demarcation between the amateurs and the pros; everyone is using the same tactics and playing in the same arenas. The only thing that separates them is radio, but the artist doesn’t control who goes to radio and who doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a long line of failed television programs, pilots that were never picked up, series that didn’t go very long. I’ve learned that there’s really nothing you can do. If it’s not in my control, I try not to worry about it Picture Quote #1

I’m not someone who enjoys long talks, long rehearsals. I’m very technical: I tell my actors, you come in, you sit down, you pick up a coffee, you look here, you say the line. We try it with the cameras rolling, and if it doesn’t work, we adjust it until it does. It’s very simple Picture Quote #1

How are things visible? Can you see an egg against a white background? Not by drawing a line around it can you make it evident Picture Quote #1

I mean, sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don’t deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don’t even notice that that’s the thing Picture Quote #1

Understand where it is you want to go. Then picture yourself there. If you can picture yourself there, then you can be there. Bottom line Picture Quote #1

Let me explain my job very simply: My job is to line up five, seven, 10 yards in front of a man and run into him at full speed Picture Quote #1

I want to design my own clothing line. I’m very into fashion. It’s something I really want to focus on when swimming is over Picture Quote #1

I never had a time line for my life. I didn’t say I wanted to be married at 28 and have three kids by the time I was 32 Picture Quote #1

I would have been a disaster as a career politician. I would never have toed a party line Picture Quote #1
