Ordinary Quotes

The interesting thing about Hain is that he’s not a very interesting character. He’s not fabulously clever. He’s not a great policeman. He’s not hugely charismatic. I’d describe him as a kind-of Chekhovian character. He’s an ordinary bloke, to whom extraordinary things have happened. Which is quite hard to play, I have to say Picture Quote #1

Southcliffe’ is an anthem to ordinary people’s ability to reinvent themselves in the face of ultimate darkness Picture Quote #1

The ordinary American is the opposite of a cynic. He is on the average more of a believer and a defender of the faith in humanity than the rest of the Occidentals. It is a relatively important matter to him to be true to his own ideals and to carry them out in actual life Picture Quote #1

Everyone seems to see bleakness and despair in my books. I don’t read them that way. I see myself as writing comic books, books about ordinary people trying to live ordinary, dull, happy lives while the world is falling to pieces around them Picture Quote #1

I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we’ve always loved racing together Picture Quote #1

Film critics said I gave a voice to the fear we all have: that we’ll reach a certain point in our lives, look around and realize that all the things we said we’d do and become will never come to be - and that we’re ordinary Picture Quote #1

I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans. It was a place where they could come and find a sympathetic ear and a competent ally, a place where they would not be either turned away or cheated, a place where they might actually feel proud to be represented by men of their own skin color Picture Quote #1

I love stories of female empowerment. I love stories of, Hey, I’m an ordinary person. No, you’re not! I love stories about not knowing you have it in you, but when called to task, you rise and you find out who you are Picture Quote #1

Women of all classes are awakening to the necessity of self-support, but few are willing to do the ordinary useful work for which they are fitted Picture Quote #1

Language becomes a prison house only poets can escape...if we do not reject any strict distinctions between ordinary usage and figures of speech Picture Quote #1

I’ll stick to finding the funny in the ordinary because my life is pretty ordinary and so are the lives of my friends - and my friends are hilarious Picture Quote #1

The secret to life is finding joy in ordinary things. I’m interested in happiness Picture Quote #1

I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me Picture Quote #1

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me Picture Quote #1

Doing things out of the ordinary - out of the box - like jumping out of airplanes and landing in cities that you’ve never been to before, then finding your way through. That’s the type of trip that excites me Picture Quote #1

Know the story before you fall in love with your first sentence. If you don’t know the story before you begin the story, what kind of a storyteller are you? Just an ordinary kind, just a mediocre kind Â” making it up as you go along, like a common liar Picture Quote #1

What people don’t understand is this is something that we only have in America. There is no other country in the world where the ordinary citizen can go out and enjoy hunting and fishing. There’s no other nation in the world where that happens. And it’s very much a part of our heritage Picture Quote #1

Sometimes God presents opportunities that look insignificant or rather ordinary. Perhaps you don’t see how they fit into the big picture for your life. But if God is asking you to do something, He has a purpose for it Picture Quote #1

The cinema should be human and be part of people’s lives; it should focus on ordinary existences in sometimes extraordinary situations and places. That is what really motivates me Picture Quote #1

I am gagged and imprisoned. I can’t even speak. I want to kick a football in a park with my son. Ordinary, banal life: my impossible dream Picture Quote #1

Snowden grants that NSA employees by and large believe in their mission and trust the agency to handle the secrets it takes from ordinary people - deliberately, in the case of bulk records collection, and ‘incidentally,’ when the content of American phone calls and e-mails are swept into NSA systems along with foreign targets Picture Quote #1

Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two Picture Quote #1
