Oddity Quotes

Visionaries and dreamers have always been dusted with a little oddity Picture Quote #1

I’m an oddity of one, my strangeness too complicated to explain or share Picture Quote #1

Many an irritating fault, many an unlovely oddity, has come of a hard sorrow Picture Quote #1

Germany is an anatomical oddity: it writes with its left hand and acts with its right Picture Quote #1

Stories about mental aberration and oddity only make sense in context. Just how do people live with someone who is peculiar, gifted, strange or alien? It’s odd because there’s a little part of me that wants to write about exotic, strange bizarre subjects. Instead, I’ve rather reluctantly realised that what I write about is families Picture Quote #1

My parents never told me I was beautiful, and for one very good reason. I wasn’t. When your child is a tubby, bespectacled little oddity, as I was, it’s important not to give them false expectations Picture Quote #1

It was tough for me at school... trying to blend in and get along with other kids. I was an oddity and kids are scared of things they don’t understand Picture Quote #1

I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn’t be an oddity Picture Quote #1

Acting for me was hard enough without having to think of the accent. And also, when I was auditioning for stuff I would walk into the room with an Australian accent, and I would do the audition in an American accent, and they would invariably say, ‘Yeah, it’s that good, but I can still hear the oddity coming through.’ Picture Quote #1

For me, I want to see diversity in storytelling sources because we live in a very diverse society, and the stories are for the whole society. That’s really important. For me, as a female filmmaker, when I was out on the festival circuit on 2006, I felt like such a freaking anomaly - an oddity Picture Quote #1

The fact that randomness requires a physical rather than a mathematical source is noted by almost everyone who writes on the subject, and yet the oddity of this situation is not much remarked Picture Quote #1

Paradox is thus a much deeper and universal concept than the ancients would have dreamed. Rather than an oddity, it is a mainstay of the philosophy of science Picture Quote #1

The really great eccentrics are all inimitable; they are not possessed by a single oddity; they are, in their deepest selves, unlike the generality of mankind Picture Quote #1

Arithmetic starts with the integers and proceeds by successively enlarging the number system by rational and negative numbers, irrational numbers, etc... But the next quite logical step after the reals, namely the introduction of infinitesimals, has simply been omitted. I think, in coming centuries it will be considered a great oddity in the history of mathematics that the first exact theory of infinitesimals was developed 300 years after the invention of the differential calculus Picture Quote #1

Theatres, actors, critics and public are interlocked in a machine that creaks but never stops. There is always a new season in hand and we are to busy to ask the only vital question which measures the whole structure. Why theatre at all? What for? Is it an anachronism, a superannuated oddity? Surviving like an old monument or a quaint custom? Why do we applaud and what? Has the stage a real place in our lives? What function can it have? What could it serve? What could it explore? What are its special properties? Picture Quote #1

I understand the technique of eccentricity; it would be futile for a man to labor at establishing a reputation for oddity if he were ready at the slightest provocation to revert to normal action Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not efficient. If you want to learn how to cook a lobster, it’s probably best not to look to poetry. But if you want to see the word lobster in all its reactant oddity, its pied beauty, as if for the first time, go to poetry. And if you want to know what it’s like to be that lobster in the pot, that’s in poetry too Picture Quote #1

Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don’t look at it as if it were some kind of oddity Picture Quote #1

I feel comfortable in the presence of oddity. Probably because I’m a little bit odd Picture Quote #1

I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn’t be an oddity Picture Quote #1

It is a lovely oddity of human nature that a person is more inclined to interrupt two people in conversation than one person alone with a book Picture Quote #1

If she had come to prefer the company of odd ducks, it was possibly because they had no conception of oddity, or rather, they thought you were odd if you weren't Picture Quote #1
