Tend Quotes

My worst character flaw that I’m conscious of is that I tend to think my way into circles instead of resolving anything. It’s paralyzing and boring for people around me Picture Quote #1

Characters tend to be either for or against the quest. If they assist it, they are idealized as simply gallant or pure; if they obstruct it, they are characterized as simply villainous or cowardly. Hence every typical character...tends to have his moral opposite confronting him, like black and white pieces in a chess game Picture Quote #1

I think when it comes to women who write or who fancy ourselves ‘hip downtown literati’, there is a certain contempt for being overly sexual or really looking for boyfriends. We tend to be marginalized as some ‘Sex and The City’ Carrie Bradshaw chick-lit dummies who just want shoes and a ring Picture Quote #1

There is a dark side. I tend not to be as optimistic as Mary Richards. I have an anger in me that I carry from my childhood experiences - I expect a lot of myself and I’m not too kind to myself Picture Quote #1

People who get into animation tend to be kids. We don’t have to grow up. But also, animators are great observers, and there’s this childlike wonder and interest in the world, the observation of little things that happen in life Picture Quote #1

Dreams are more personal. We tend to only dream about issues that impact us directly: our careers, our marriage, our children, our family and friends Picture Quote #1

I don’t read young adult or children’s books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I’m aware of what’s out there. But I tend not to read the books Picture Quote #1

Scientists and philosophers tend to treat knowledge, imagination and love as if they were all very separate parts of human nature. But when it comes to children, all three are deeply entwined. Children learn the truth by imagining all the ways the world could be, and testing those possibilities Picture Quote #1

People tend to say Christians are always judging, but the word of God convicts Christians and urges them to obey God’s commands Picture Quote #1

After a time, civil servants tend to become no longer servants and no longer civil Picture Quote #1

Our schools too often want to shut people up so they can’t talk about real solutions. People who think differently tend to clam up because they think something is wrong with their ideas Picture Quote #1

The brainy class is made up of individuals who think for themselves and beyond formal education are continuous learners who tend to be self-taught Picture Quote #1

What’s interesting is relative levels of introversion tend to stay the same. If you went back to your reunion from school, you would probably find that if you ranked everyone in your class into terms of levels of introversion and extroversion you’d still be the same rank Picture Quote #1

Urban areas tend to attract members of the ‘knowledge class’ - people who work with ideas, data, information Picture Quote #1

Men and women have different ideas of what constitutes tidiness. I tend to think it’s about things being clean, but my mum and girlfriend are more about how things look Picture Quote #1

In my own personal time, horror films freak me out too much, so I tend to steer clear of watching horror films on my own Picture Quote #1

Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man Picture Quote #1

People tend to slip up and go along the old road before they realise what they’ve done and climb out of it again Picture Quote #1

Close elections tend to break toward the challenger because undecided voters - having held out so long against the incumbent - are by nature looking for change Picture Quote #1

Fashion is so close in revealing a person’s inner feelings and everybody seems to hate to lay claim to vanity so people tend to push it away. It’s really too close to the quick of the soul Picture Quote #1

I tend to think of a myth and then explore how it would play out if it were happening in the modern-day world. I modify all the myths I use, but I stick very closely to their structure - it is the hidden teacher in me Picture Quote #1

I tend to watch a lot of movies at home. It’s nice to be close to the refrigerator with my pyjamas on and just relax Picture Quote #1

In a war without aim, you tend not to aim. You close your eyes, close your heart. The consequences become hit or miss in the most literal sense Picture Quote #1

I tend to have a lot of jokes about ex-girlfriends. They always ask me if they will be the subject of a joke, and I always tell them they won’t. Unless they do something crazy. They all tend to, so you know where that goes. There are no closed doors. The ‘art’ will suffer Picture Quote #1

When you or your closed ones face danger, you’d tend to get closer to God and be good Picture Quote #1

In America, even the critics - which is a pity - tend to genre-ize things. They have a hard time when genres get mixed. They want to categorize things. That’s why I love Wes Anderson’s films and the Coen Brothers, because you don’t know what you’re going to get, and very often you get something that you don’t expect and that’s just what a genre’s not supposed to do Picture Quote #1

I tend to write in coffee shops and restaurants with friends of mine because if I’m at home, I get distracted by the television or the cats or my husband, or... you know - all of those things that make it easy to procrastinate Picture Quote #1

I tend to work in coffee shops. I need to get out of the house, and, well, I need the coffee Picture Quote #1

I tend to work on the principle that much humour relies on cognitive dissonance - on the foreground not matching the background, on the protagonist’s response to a situation being inappropriate, and so on Picture Quote #1

Liberals tend to stress how marvelous education is, in and of itself, and also adore it as a vessel for genuine equality. (That’s me, by the way: Hell, I think we should be spending $50 billion a year to make college education free) Picture Quote #1
