Terrible Quotes

When I was a boy, I read a terrible article in a big weekly American magazine called the ‘Saturday Evening Post.’ In the middle of this family magazine on my parent’s coffee table was an article about this family that was camping, and they were all mauled by a grizzly bear in their sleeping bags Picture Quote #1

I experienced the California Northridge Earthquake of 1994 and the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, and I have thus seen firsthand how terrible and awesomely devastating a force of nature can be Picture Quote #1

On our swim team, they had something called the ‘developmental meet.’ I didn’t know it was a meet only for the worst kids so that they could get a ribbon, and I’d show up with my friend who was also a terrible swimmer, and we would be amazed that the best kids hadn’t bothered to show up. I didn’t get it until after college Picture Quote #1

I was excellent at English and Drama. Maths and Science I was terrible at. I didn’t have any interest in them. I was happiest at lunchtime, playing with my friends. But I love science now, that’s the funny thing. And I’d be so good at geography, as I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world Picture Quote #1

The most annoying thing I found was all the people pretending to be me on MySpace and Facebook. I’m not a member of either, but apparently there is an ‘official’ Nikki Sanderson MySpace page, complete with rants about how terrible identity fraud is, which is ironic Picture Quote #1

I’m a terrible sentence finisher. I think that’s why I’m a songwriter. When you write a song, there are no rules, and I think that I talk as if there are no rules. But then I run this great risk of no one understanding me at all Picture Quote #1

I have much more power and protection than Salman Rushdie, because I’m an American citizen, but yes, I live in terrible fear for my life and for the lives of my children. My whole family has been threatened, my adoptive parents had to sell their house and move out of Washington, D.C. because of death threats caused by my work and activism Picture Quote #1

We can have our hearts broken over so much more. It is important to recognize the full spectrum of heartbreak. We can be heartbroken by lost and by disappointment. But heartbreak is not just this negative image we see, it’s not this terrible experience that brings no benefits Picture Quote #1

I try to be realistic and pragmatic. I have a lot of hope for humanity as a species, but obviously as individuals we can be extremely flawed. We may have to go through some very terrible times in the near future, even if we ultimately survive as Homo sapiens Picture Quote #1

The point is, this is what happens when advertising and data collection is the dominant business mode. We are encouraged to be compulsive. It’s not that we’re terrible addicts who need to go to an AA meeting and get off our gadgets Picture Quote #1

Using the passive voice is always very helpful. Mind you, a lot of that propaganda English emanates from here. The British establishment has always used the passive voice. It’s been a weapon of discourse so those who committed terrible acts in the old empire could not be identified Picture Quote #1

The people who died in the Twin Towers in that terrible crime mattered. The people who were bombed to death in dusty villages in Afghanistan didn’t matter, even though it now seems that their numbers were greater. The people who will die in Iraq don’t matter Picture Quote #1

The Alzheimer’s Association is what I am passionate about. My grandfather had it. My mom has it. It’s a horrible disease, and with our aging population, it’s a growing problem. It’s terrible to lose your brain and your power to be conscious or in the moment Picture Quote #1

The just response to this terrible event should be to go immediately to the world community, the United Nations. The rule of international law should be marshaled, but it’s probably too late because the United States has never done that; it’s always gone it alone Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know there were at least as many terrible independent movies as there are big-budget ones. Like, every single year. And bad in a worse way, too. They’re just parodies of themselves sometimes Picture Quote #1

I am a sucker for romance and I love girls and that is a terrible combination, because romance has the ability to overwhelm your perspective Picture Quote #1

You don’t stop thinking about women just because your wife dies. It’s terrible, but you know. I just want the hugs, the kisses. A kiss! Picture Quote #1

It’s much harder to act in a bad film than in a good one. A terrible script makes for very difficult acting. You can win an Academy Award for some of the easiest acting in your career, made possible by a brilliant script Picture Quote #1

Life is a university, and you never graduate. Accept that whatever happens to you, no matter how terrible, is there to teach you. Your job is to learn and do what you have to Picture Quote #1

I’m riveted by extreme sports like big-wave surfing, ‘megaramp’ skateboarding and half-pipe snowboarding. I’m fascinated partly because the sports are so exhilaratingly acrobatic. But I’m also captivated by the fear that a terrible accident might happen at any moment. And accidents do happen Picture Quote #1

We know that ISIL and other terrorist groups are actively encouraging people, around the world and in our country, to commit terrible acts of violence, oftentimes as lone-wolf actors Picture Quote #1

I have a feeling that about 90% of my life has been shaped by my voice, both as an embarrassment and as an advantage. There was always the terrible incongruity of this deep voice barreling out of this little body. Somewhere in the back of my mind I was aware that it was ludicrous, that it took on an importance that wasn’t really there Picture Quote #1

The whole structure of African government, as far back as we know, was based on tyranny. One guy ran the show. Chiefs like Chaka and Mzilikazi committed terrible atrocities. That is the tradition from which modern African rulers spring. It won’t change easily overnight Picture Quote #1
