Sheer Quotes

I came to realize that far more important to me than any plot or conventional sense was the sheer directionality I felt while reading prose, the texture of time as it passed, life’s white machine Picture Quote #1

One of the many things I love about bound books is their sheer physicality. Electronic books live out of sight and out of mind. But printed books have body, presence. Sure, sometimes they’ll elude you by hiding in improbable places... But at other times they’ll confront you, and you’ll literally stumble over some tomes you hadn’t thought about in weeks or years. I often seek electronic books, but they never come after me. They may make me feel, but I can’t feel them. They are all soul with no flesh, no texture, and no weight. They can get in your head but can’t whack you upside it Picture Quote #1

If man attempts to suppress the animal side of his nature by a sheer effort of conscious will, nature finds a hundred unexpected and unpleasant ways to take its revenge Picture Quote #1

It is the sheer ugliness and banality of everyday life which turns my blood to ice and makes me cringe in terror Picture Quote #1

To be alive means to live in a world that proceeded one’s own arrival and will survive one’s own departure. On this level of sheer being alive, appearance and disappearance, as they follow upon each other, are the primordial events, which as such mark out time, the time span between birth and death Picture Quote #1

My ambition was to become the best climber and I never did. I think that goal was a wrong goal. A better one is to put more emphasis on enjoyment and on getting a rounded experience and on things like friendship, rather than on sheer achievement Picture Quote #1

We trust things more when they look like they were done for the love of it rather than the sheer commercial value of it Picture Quote #1

Nothing can duplicate the sheer power and feeling you get from standing in front of your amp and bashing on your guitar Picture Quote #1

In terms of scope, and in terms of sheer number of characters, we went beyond our limits long ago Picture Quote #1

A person could last a long while without touch, but once someone had experienced the comfort, joy, and sheer relief of another human body close, the desire to experience that again was hard to deny Picture Quote #1

Her professors were astonished by her leaps of thought, by the finesse and elegance of her insights. She arrived at hypotheses by sheer intuition and with what eventually one of her mentors described as an almost alarming speed; she was like a dancer, he said, out in the cosmos springing weightlessly from star to star. Drones, merely brilliant, crawled along behind with laborious proofs that supported her assertions Picture Quote #1

We survive until, by sheer stamina, we escape into the dim innocence of our own adulthood and its forgetfulness Picture Quote #1

He who is allowed to do as he likes will soon run his head into a brick wall out of sheer frustration Picture Quote #1

Have you ever considered how much pure stuff and nonsense surrounds this subject of interior decoration? Probably not. Almost everyone believes that there is something deep and mysterious about it or that you have to know all sorts of complicated details about periods before you can lift a finger. Well, you don’t. Decorating is just sheer fun: a delight in color, an awareness of balance, a feeling for lighting, a sense of style, a zest for life and an amused enjoyment of the smart accessories of the moment Picture Quote #1

What you try to become is a bringer of magic, for magic and the truth are closely allied and movies are sheer magic... when they work, it’s, well, it’s glorious Picture Quote #1

The purely random sample is the only kind that can be examined with confidence by means of statistical theory, but there is one things wrong with it. It is so difficult and expensive to obtain for many uses that sheer cost eliminates it. A more economical substitute, which is almost universally used in such fields as opinion polling and market research, is called stratified random sampling Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows the presidential candidates and has an opinion about them. But as you get to smaller races, that evaporates and you can win through sheer elbow grease Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the intensity and the grind of doing television can wear you down, but at the same time there’s something about the repetition, the sheer mass of work that you do that’s also liberating Picture Quote #1

I can’t believe there is a poet who hasn’t eagerly put down a word one day, only to erase it the next day deciding it was sheer lunacy. It’s part of the process of selection Picture Quote #1

I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I’d rather give them to people for free Picture Quote #1

I would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina because... as a director, you’re always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it’s a marathon... You don’t have to look nice, but it’s all day every day Picture Quote #1

Whereas formerly, before the advent of machinery, the commonest article you could pick up had a life and warmth which gave it individual interest, now everything is turned out to such a perfection of deadness that one is driven to pick up and collect, in sheer desperation, the commonest rubbish still surviving from the earlier periods Picture Quote #1

There are certain things that words on paper can never make a crime,.. There are certain acts that by sheer common sense are not crimes Picture Quote #1

This whole universe, with all its vastness, grandeur and beauty, is nothing but sheer imagination. In spite of so many discoveries, researches and scientific knowledge, the creation remains a great unsolved riddle Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to discount talent and ability, but I still maintain that a lot of it is just sheer desire Picture Quote #1

That we suffer so much today under whatsoever flag we live is proof positive that constitutions and laws, when framed by the early advocates of human liberty, never included and were never intended for us as a people. It is only a question of sheer accident that we happen to be fellow citizens today with the descendants of those who, through their advocacy, laid the foundation for human rights Picture Quote #1

Nature herself seems, I say, to take the pen out of his hand, and to write for him with her own bare, sheer, penetrating power Picture Quote #1

History is often the tale of small moments-chance encounters or casual decisions or sheer coincidence-that seem of little consequence at the time, but somehow fuse with other small moments to produce something momentous, the proverbial flapping of a butterfly’s wings that triggers a hurricane Picture Quote #1

The sheer volumes of songs have come from the hours of cold and darkness that one spends inside with the lights on Picture Quote #1

Does it seem that everything is extravagance in the world, or rather madness, when you watch the way things go? A crowd of rogues enjoy blessings they have won by sheer injustice, while more honest folks are miserable and die of hunger Picture Quote #1
