I’m a guy who just wanted to see his name in the lineup everyday. To me, baseball was a passion to the point of obsession Picture Quote #1

The obsession required to see a feature through from concept to release is not a rational thing to do with your brief time on this planet. Nor is it something to which an intelligent person should aspire Picture Quote #1

I do not think that obsession is funny or that not being able to stop one’s intensity is funny Picture Quote #1

The painter’s obsession with his subject is all that he needs to drive him to work Picture Quote #1

In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist’s obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession... That’s the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it Picture Quote #1

People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It’s very selfish, but it’s understandable Picture Quote #1

Love is an obsession. It has that quality to it. But there are healthy obsessions, and mine is one of them Picture Quote #1

The only difference between an artist and a lunatic is, perhaps, that the artist has the restraint or courtesy to conceal the intensity of his obsession from all except those similarly afflicted Picture Quote #1

Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless Picture Quote #1

When I came out, and for many years afterwards, it had become a habit for me to sit and read and read and read, like an obsession. I would take 20 books, and not come out until I’d finished them. It took me a while to change that habit Picture Quote #1

Yes and our obsession with youth in our culture and how we, women lie about their age after 35 obsessively and no one wants to let anyone know they’re getting older, et cetera Picture Quote #1

I liked movies so much that they became an obsession. I am still trying to kick the habit Picture Quote #1

Hell is not a place, it’s a state of mind and body; hell is obsession with a voice, a face, a name Picture Quote #1

I was super brainy and a proper geek at school, but there would always be a boy. But that sort of obsession did turn me into a songwriter. My writing has always come from that feeling of infatuation Picture Quote #1

Perhaps one central reason for loving dogs is that they take us away from this obsession with ourselves. When our thoughts start to go in circles, and we seem unable to break away, wondering what horrible event the future holds for us, the dog opens a window into the delight of the moment Picture Quote #1

Skill alone cannot teach or produce a great short story, which condenses the obsession of the creature; it is a hallucinatory presence manifest from the first sentence to fascinate the reader, to make him lose contact with the dull reality that surrounds him, submerging him in another that is more intense and compelling Picture Quote #1

Obsessed? I don’t know what the word means. I know there were times when I couldn’t think of anything else. I used to stay in every weeknight in the hope that he might get free and call me. It felt like I had a disease I didn’t want to get rid of. I suppose that’s a definition of obsession, yes Picture Quote #1

Someone with an obsession for arranging things in alphabetical order was an abcedist, whereas someone with an obsession for arranging them in reverse alphabetical order was a zyxedist Picture Quote #1

Think of it! We could have gone on longing for one another and pretending not to notice forever. This obsession with dignity can ruin your life if you let it Picture Quote #1

You can’t stand clutter, and you have an obsession with orderliness. The furniture in here is centered exactly on the walls; the files on your desk are arranged in precise corners. If I had to guess, I would say you are probably a control freak, and that is usually symptomatic of a man who feels powerless to control his own life, so he tries to control every facet of his surroundings Picture Quote #1

I was frightened by the optimism of adults, their stupid trust in science to treat a troubled heart. Afraid of their obsession with believing they have to treat troubled kids. I just wanted them to leave me alone, so how come they didn’t get it? But that’s the way it always is Picture Quote #1

A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience Picture Quote #1

Life can be cruel. It´s been my struggle, my personal battle, my obsession to make people see that different isn´t always bad Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare had a term for this obsession: mappery. But there is a time, too, when you say, come dragons. I challenge you to find me Picture Quote #1

A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one Picture Quote #1
