Pretending Quotes

Modesty: the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it Picture Quote #1

I want a private life, I truly do. I’m not just pretending to want one like lots of celebrities Picture Quote #1

The most significant piece of advice my father gave me early on about acting was, don’t get caught acting. Really believe in what you’re doing and then commit to it. Even if it feels uncomfortable, even if you feel that you’re gonna look like an ass. It’s all acting, but find the truth in a moment as opposed to just pretending you have and rather than trying to act your way out of it Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had to turn my hand to anything for monetary gain, other than pretending to be somebody else. I’m deeply fortunate Picture Quote #1

Standing in public in other people’s clothes, pretending to be someone else. It’s a strange way for a grown man to make a living Picture Quote #1

Putting somebody else’s pants on and pretending to be somebody else is occasionally, as you grow older, horrifying Picture Quote #1

Actors are pretending for you, but they’re not lying. They are not putting on a guise instead of themselves. They are finding things inside that they have experienced Picture Quote #1

I played soccer, and I was the kid who ran the wrong way, or I was pretending to be some sort of zebra and I would flail my arms and kick up my legs Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier Picture Quote #1

After all, what was adult life but one moment of weakness piled on top of another? Most people just fell in line like obedient little children, doing exactly what society expected of them at any given moment, all the while pretending that they’d actually made some sort of choice Picture Quote #1

I don’t play the tuba. The tuba plays me. My tuba is not actually a tuba, because it has never produced a musical sound. It is actually a giant frog pretending to be a tuba Picture Quote #1

I wonder if being sane means disregarding the chaos that is life, pretending only an infinitesimal segment of it is reality 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

The strain of constant adaptation to so many fearful events and discoveries is already too much to bear with sanity; one has to keep pretending to slip successfully into the new mould; a time will come when the tailored and camouflaged mind breaks beneath the burden; the stick insect in our brains no longer cares to resemble a twig on the same habitual human tree in the mere hope that it may survive extinction Picture Quote #1

Part of the appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they’re not absurd Picture Quote #1

Wearing your clothes or standing in the shower for over an hour, pretending that this skin is your skin, these hands your hands, these shins, these soapy flanks Picture Quote #1

She’d tell me how she’d handle the backhanded compliment by smiling and pretending she was receiving a genuine compliment all the while ignoring their attempt to be insulting. After all, it’s the way an insult is received that makes it an insult. You can’t really give offense unless someone takes it Picture Quote #1

I was trying to replace something I’d come to care about very much with something pretending to be as important Picture Quote #1

The sudden silence is horrifying, and it seems to catch my mother off guard. A tiny whimper escapes her, the sound amplified in the stillness. Surely, my father hears her now; surely he and I can’t go on pretending she isn’t crying Picture Quote #1

She still remembered sitting for hours as a little girl and pretending to be a hassock. A foot stool. Because if she could just stay very small, and very quiet, her mother would forget she was there, and then she wouldn’t scream about people and places and things that had gone wrong Picture Quote #1

Good people protect people they love even if that means that pretending that everything is okay Picture Quote #1

No one can remain married today because they are not married to the one they love, they are married to their sacrifice, and pretending to love is too damned painful. Love and build, love and work, love and fight. Always love first. Anything placed before love will fail Picture Quote #1

David’s mother would often tell him stories were alive. They weren’t alive in the way people were alive,or even dogs or cats. People were alive whether you chose to notice them or not, while dogs tended to make you notice them if they decided that you weren’t paying enough attention. Cats, meanwhile, were very good at pretending people didn’t exist at all when it suited them Picture Quote #1

Because sometimes when things are going really well, we find the one thing we’re pretending we’re not looking for Picture Quote #1
