Rare Quotes

And what more could I possibly ask as an artist than that your most precious visions, however rare, assume sometimes the forms of my images Picture Quote #1

For other people, love is like some rare orchid that can only grow in one place under a certain set of conditions. For me it’s like bindweed. It grows with no encouragement at all, under any conditions, and just strangles everything else Picture Quote #1

In my youth I regarded the universe as an open book, printed in the language of equations, whereas now it appears to me as a text written in invisible ink, of which in our rare moments of grace we are able to decipher a small segment Picture Quote #1

To be born as a human being is a rare thing, something to be grateful for. But being born as a human being is worthless if you spend your whole life in a mental hospital. It is worthless if you worry about not having money. It is worthless if you become neurotic because you cannot get a prestigious job. It is worthless if you weep because you lose your girlfriend Picture Quote #1

Once in a rare while, somebody comes along who doesn’t just raise the bar, they create an entirely new standard of measurement Picture Quote #1

Writing comes into being to retain information across time and across space. Before writing, communication is evanescent and local; sounds carry a few yards and fade to oblivion. The evanescence of the spoken word went without saying. So fleeting was speech that the rare phenomenon of the echo, a sound heard once and then again, seemed a sort of magic Picture Quote #1

He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden Picture Quote #1

What does open us is sharing our vulnerabilities. Sometimes we see a couple who has done this difficult work over a lifetime. In the process, they have grown old together. We can sense the enormous comfort, the shared quality of ease between these people. It is beautiful, and very rare. Without this quality of openness and vulnerability, partners don’t really know each other; they are one image living with another image Picture Quote #1

One falls in and out of love, but when one loves that is an entirely different matter, for that lasts through life and beyond, and is a rare thing Picture Quote #1

We didn’t want to disrupt the creative process. We have the chance to make the films we want because the films are not expensive. It’s very rare to be able to do that. It’s completely pure Picture Quote #1

Prize the natural spaces and shorelines most of all, because once they’re gone, with rare exceptions they’re gone forever. In our bones we need the natural curves of hills, the scent of chapparal, the whisper of pines, the possibility of wildness. We require these patches of nature for our mental health and our spiritual resilience Picture Quote #1

Many men absorbed in business show such a rare quality of culture that we are surprised at it. The reason invariably is partly because hard work and even the weariness it leaves carry a nobility with them, but also because there is no room in such lives for inferior mental occupation Picture Quote #1

A wise word is more rare than the green emerald, and one can find the word of wisdom even amongst the slave girls making grain Picture Quote #1

In the most commonplace, tiresome, ridiculous, malicious, coarse, crude, or even crooked people or events I had to seek out rare things, good things, comic things, and I did so Picture Quote #1

Champions are a rare breed. They see beyond the dangers, the risks, the obstacles, and the hardships Picture Quote #1

The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed Picture Quote #1

To play with correctness and skill the ends of games, is an important but a very rare accomplishment, expect among the magnates of the game Picture Quote #1

The ability to have our own way, and at the same time convince others they are having their own way, is a rare thing among men. Among women it is as common as eyebrows Picture Quote #1

War has been more common than peace, and extended periods of peace have been rare in a world divided into multiple states Picture Quote #1

Later when I thought of the chickens, one of those rare pale blue eggs rose up into my throat. The chickens had been part of our family, and the egg in my throat was the feeling of something missing. It was hard and smooth and heavy, but also so fragile it might break and make me cry. It was the feeling of growing out of a favorite shirt, milk spilled on the floor, the last bit of honey in the jar, falling apple blossoms. It was the lump in the throat behind everything beautiful in life Picture Quote #1

Happiness is having a rare steak, a bottle of whiskey, and a dog to eat the rare steak Picture Quote #1

We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty Picture Quote #1

Seek wisdom in books, rare manuscripts, and cryptic poems if you will, but seek it out also in simple stones, and fragile herbs, and in the cries of wild birds. Listen to the whisperings of the wind and the roar of water if you would discover magic, for it is here that the old secrets are preserved Picture Quote #1

If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things Picture Quote #1

It’s a rare gift to understand that your life is wondrous, and that it won’t last forever Picture Quote #1

I often think of that rare fulfilling joy, when I am in the presence of some wonderful alignment of events. Where the light, the colour, the shapes and the balance all interlock so beautifully that I feel truly overwhelmed by the wonder of it Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals, and to imagine that together we can do great things. In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible Picture Quote #1

I am not greedy. I do not seek to possess the major portion of your days. I am content if, on those rare occasions whose truth can be stated only by poetry, you will, perhaps, recall an image, even only the aura of my films Picture Quote #1

A young pianist and composer who has demonstrated an exceptional creativity, in both his playing and his writing, as well as showing us all, his very strong commitment and motivation to aim for high musical goals. Talent like his is rare Picture Quote #1

A number of rare or newly experienced foods have been claimed to be aphrodisiacs. At one time this quality was even ascribed to the tomato. Reflect on that when you are next preparing the family salad Picture Quote #1
