Partly Quotes

I am riveted by extreme sports like big-wave surfing, ‘megaramp’ skateboarding and half pipe snowboarding. I am fascinated partly because the sports are so exhilaratingly acrobatic. But I am also captivated by the fear that a terrible accident might happen at any moment. And accidents do happen Picture Quote #1

Chicago is partly a fairy tale because it’s inside one person’s head, so that part of it’s made up and the rest of it is reality Picture Quote #1

To my surprise, the more I searched about Qi Xiangfu, the more I found of a life lived partly online. He once wrote a short memoir in which he described himself in the third person, with the formality usually reserved for China’s most famous writers Picture Quote #1

California club pop chirper Dev’s debut is as stark as it is sweet. This is owed partly to the casually giddy lightness of her talk-singing - familiar from her slizzered 2010 cameo on Far East Movement’s smash ‘Like a G6,’ and around-the way-girl frisky like 1980s Latin freestyle Picture Quote #1

I remain interested in the potential of art, except I’ve always been more struck by applied modernism than high modernism. It’s partly because of feminist theory and being brought up in the 70s, with questioning who is speaking, and why, and what authority they’re carrying Picture Quote #1

There’s always been a little bit of tension between the writers of science fiction literature and then science-fiction televised shows or movies, partly because they have a different dynamic Picture Quote #1

All the collaborators of storytelling, in film and television, have to be partly self-centered because they need to do their work the best they can, and that’s what makes them really good at what they do, but then they also have to be a part of the socialist society, for the greater good Picture Quote #1

I went through a period when I felt my film characters were having more fun than I was. It might partly explain why I ended up tattooed or doing certain extreme things in my life Picture Quote #1

Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice; you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions Picture Quote #1

Most of us have jobs that require some handling of other peoples’ feelings and our own, and in that sense, we are all partly flight attendants Picture Quote #1

I owe everything to Nirvana. But I can’t let that overshadow the future. For the first few years, I didn’t even want to talk about Nirvana. Partly because it was just painful to talk about losing Kurt but also because I wanted the Foo Fighters to mean something Picture Quote #1

Thanks partly to the kind of poets that we now have and partly to funding, there’s been a gigantic shift in the way poetry is perceived... Poems on the Underground, poets in schools, football clubs, zoos Picture Quote #1

Traveling and being in foreign cultures has always been really stimulating for me, partly because, when I’m living abroad, everything is new and like a puzzle to work out, by virtue of it being a foreign culture Picture Quote #1

But in the meantime I became accustomed to the writing life and it would be hard to change now - partly because of the salary cut if I went to my other love, teaching; and partly because I still have stories to tell, even though it isn’t all that fun doing the work anymore Picture Quote #1

I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it’s a way of laughing at it and getting a release Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any particular painters have inspired me, except in a general sense. It was more a matter of corroboration. The visual arts, from Manet onwards, seemed far more open to change and experiment than the novel, though that’s only partly the fault of the writers. There’s something about the novel that resists innovation Picture Quote #1

A generous heart is never lonesome. A generous heart has luck. The lonesomeness of contemporary life is partly due to the failure of generosity. Increasingly we complete with each other for the goods, for image, and status Picture Quote #1

Discerning the will of God is a very tricky thing, partly because, you know, the little voice in my head can either be God’s voice or it can be my own ego doing a magnificent impression of God’s voice Picture Quote #1

Once I went so far as to slaughter a woodchuck which ravaged my bean-field,--effect his transmigration, as a Tartar would say,--and devour him, partly for experiment’s sake; but though it afforded me a momentary enjoyment, notwithstanding a musky flavor, I saw that the longest use would not make that a good practice, however it might seem to have your woodchucks ready dressed by the village butcher Picture Quote #1

I think the country’s getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know what I wanted to do when I was a child. I did want to be a cartographer but that was partly because I liked Ordnance Survey maps and when I used to go to my grandparents’ house from Southampton Station one went past the headquarters of the Ordnance Survey Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it is partly that we need to love books ourselves as parents, grandparents and teachers in order to pass on that passion for stories to our children. It’s not about testing and reading schemes, but about loving stories and passing on that passion to our children Picture Quote #1

It really does feel, partly because of graphic novels kids read, like there’s a lot of freedom with how you can use both images and words, because we think in both of those ways Picture Quote #1

Man is supposed to be the maker of his destiny. It is only partly true. He can make his destiny, only in so far as he is allowed by the Great Power Picture Quote #1

The problem is that, partly because we are women, a large measure of our happiness depends on our relationships - including, unavoidably, our relationships with men Picture Quote #1

The word ‘happiness’ always bothered me, partly because it was scientifically unwieldy and meant a lot of different things to different people, and also because it’s subjective Picture Quote #1

I battled with my weight as a teenager, partly because there wasn’t the information or conversation about how to live a healthy lifestyle Picture Quote #1

People ask me whether I see ‘Star Wars’ as a comedy or a tragedy, but it’s really neither - it’s partly a history, like ‘Henry V,’ and partly a fantasy, like ‘The Tempest.’ Picture Quote #1
