Sheer Quotes

If you’re healthy, if you don’t get sick much, if you don’t go to the doctor much or use your health insurance much, you are a genetic lottery winner. It has nothing to do with the way you live, nothing to do with doing the right things. It’s just sheer luck, and you are gonna pay for that Picture Quote #1

He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars Picture Quote #1

You went out with a girl at first because the sheer sight of her made you weak in the knees. You fell in love and were desperate not to let her get away. And yet the more you thought about her, the less you knew who she was. The hope was that love transcended all differences. That was the hope Picture Quote #1

Perhaps everything lies in knowing what words to speak, what actions to perform, and in what order and rhythm; or else someone’s gaze, answer, gesture is enough; it is enough for someone to do something for the sheer pleasure of doing it, and for his pleasure to become the pleasure of others: at that moment, all spaces change, all heights, distances; the city is transfigured, becomes crystalline, transparent as a dragonfly Picture Quote #1

She is furious with herself for her own stupidity. Opening herself up like this, voluntarily, to a lifetime of worry and anguish. It was madness. Sheer lunacy. A spectacularly foolish and baseless faith, against enormous odds, that a world you do not control will not take from you the one thing you cannot bear to lose. Faith that the world will not destroy you Picture Quote #1

There are two ways of avoiding fear: one is by persuading ourselves that we are immune from disaster, and the other is by the practice of sheer courage. The latter is difficult, and to everybody becomes impossible at a certain point. The former has therefore always been more popular. Primitive magic has the purpose of securing safety, either by injuring enemies, or by protecting oneself by talismans, spells, or incantations Picture Quote #1

I’d been an expert at taking beatings. Then I had a lucky break where I did a bully in, by total sheer luck... One minute I was the mark, and with just one swift move, I put the big man in school down... Once he was down, the whole atmosphere in the schoolyard changed. A huge cloud seemed to be lifted from me... I’d never been aware the cloud was so large Picture Quote #1

Scientific research was much like prospecting: you went out and you hunted, armed with your maps and instruments, but in the ened your preparations did not matter, or even your intuition. You needed your luck, and whatever benefits accrued to the diligent, through sheer, grinding hard work Picture Quote #1

Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers. Feel motivated and energized, we can overcome almost anything. Feeling bored and restless, our minds shut off and we become increasingly passive Picture Quote #1

Cinema doesn’t connect with the body as artists have in two thousand years of painting, using the nude as the central figure which the ideas seem to circulate around. I think it is important to somehow push or stretch or emphasize, in as many ways as I can, the sheer bulk, shape, heaviness, the juices, the actual structure of the body. Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward Picture Quote #1

I can’t speak for them, of course, but I believe that most economists would accept the view that, while you sometimes can make a score by sheer luck, you can’t do it constantly, unless you’re willing to put the resources in Picture Quote #1

If the story is good enough, if it’s imaginative enough, if it’s moving enough it is going to reach deeper than the level of sheer information and change somebody’s life two degrees. That is an enormous achievement Picture Quote #1

That was the big lesson for all of us. Everything was going great on paper, but we all became miserable because we were so caught up in the machinery of how you make that happen, it took away the sheer joy Picture Quote #1

One of the issues these days is the sheer amount of music out there to be listened to. There are more bands than one could ever hope to explore Picture Quote #1

The sheer immensity of the human self as envisioned by the world’s religions is awesome Picture Quote #1

Signs of fatigue soon manifested themselves more and more strongly, and slowly the men dropped out one by one, from sheer exhaustion. No murmur of complaint, however, would be heard Picture Quote #1

Just as big cities can deplete you with their noise and crowds and sheer sensory overload, a hospital can exhaust you, as its changing faces and personalities blur and strangers wake you repeatedly Picture Quote #1

The criminal clearly wasn’t expecting to find me there. He looked back at me with an expression of sheer balaclava written all over his face Picture Quote #1

Yet the powers that be haven’t quite considered the strength of our sheer numbers Picture Quote #1

Once in a blue moon a captain imposes his influence not just upon his opponents, but on a generation of cricketers, by the sheer force of his personality Picture Quote #1

Children are entitled to their otherness, as anyone is; and when we reach them, as we sometimes do, it is generally on a point of sheer delight, to us so astonishing, but to them so natural Picture Quote #1

Not every sheer truth is the better for showing her face. Silence also many times is the wisest thing for a man to have in his mind Picture Quote #1

It is sheer folly to tear the hair in grief as if sorrow could be cured by baldness Picture Quote #1

Impertinence will intermeddle in things in which it has no concern, showing a want of breeding, or, more commonly, a spirit of sheer impudence Picture Quote #1

This was the most difficult, the most extraordinary transition. Her body had been a source of shame and disgust; to engage in activities with no purpose at all except to revel in their sheer physicality had first nauseated, then terrified, and finally liberated her Picture Quote #1

Sheer egotism compels us to the purest love of mankind as a whole... Our hearts are like a sponge, receptive to all the newest humanitarian ideas; and our sympathy goes out to all the unfortunate, all the oppressed Picture Quote #1

The power of the ballot we need in sheer defense, else what shall save us from a second slavery? Picture Quote #1

The sheer act of listening speaks volumes that even a great speech can’t communicate Picture Quote #1

If you belonged to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, violence, and sheer ignorance as religion is, you’d resign in protest Picture Quote #1

Often I think writing is a sheer paring away of oneself leaving always something thinner, barer, more meagre Picture Quote #1
