Terribly Quotes

A country so rich that it can send people to the moon still has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who can’t read. That’s terribly troubling to me Picture Quote #1

Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it Picture Quote #1

It’s interesting to fantasize having a man sink his teeth into your neck for sustenance, knowing that it isn’t going to be terribly painful but rather very exciting Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a warm personal enemy left. They’ve all died off. I miss them terribly because they helped define me Picture Quote #1

I enjoy some physical stuff. But if I had a choice between playing a scene where it’s raining, it’s terribly cold, I’m wet and I’m being drowned and playing a scene with dinosaur eggs in a laboratory, I’d probably take the latter. It’s warmer and generally more comfortable! Picture Quote #1

Be good to yourself. Listen to your body, to your heart. We’re very hard on ourselves, and we’re always feeling like we’re not doing enough. It’s a terribly hard job Picture Quote #1

Poets, we know, are terribly sensitive people, and in my observation one of the things they are most sensitive about is money Picture Quote #1

I have made terrible mistakes that have hurt the people that I cared about the most, and I am terribly sorry. I am deeply ashamed of my terrible judgment and my actions Picture Quote #1

In my eighties, my best friends are in their fifties, and I have many friends at university. It keeps one young, and up with the vocabulary. That’s terribly important, especially for a writer Picture Quote #1

These rejections hurt me terribly because I felt it was my life that was being rejected Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I could be terribly demanding even if I wanted to be Picture Quote #1

It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil,... that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it’s not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure Picture Quote #1

You may have your suspicions, your fears, you may even believe there is something, somewhere, terribly, drastically wrong, but because someone else is in charge, because there is a part of the system above you which you don’t know, you don’t question it, you even distrust your own doubts Picture Quote #1

I am very shy. When I go to a charity ball, I don’t mind if people look at my sleeves. I mind terribly if I have to say something Picture Quote #1

I’m terribly fastidious. I like symmetry and neatness, but my house is as chaotic as any other family’s Picture Quote #1

The banks are not lending, at least from what I see. They were so wild and reckless back in the good times that they got burned terribly Picture Quote #1

I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time Picture Quote #1

The way I see it, being dead is not terribly far off from being on a cruise ship. Most of your time is spent lying on your back. The brain has shut down. The flesh begins to soften. Nothing much new happens, and nothing is expected of you Picture Quote #1

Violence is so terribly fast... the most perverse thing about the movies is the way they portray it in slow motion, allowing it to be something sensuous... the viewer’s lips slightly wet as the scene plays out. Violence is nothing like that. It is lightning fast, chaotic, and totally intangible Picture Quote #1

Please don’t think so lightly of liking someone. It’s terribly important. It is a kind of loving, you know, and one that frequently lasts a lot longer than romance. You can fall out of love, as well in. Most of us do, especially if you don’t actually like the person as well. It doesn’t always grow into love by any means, but sometimes it does Picture Quote #1

How terribly sad it was that people are made in such a way that they get used to something as extraordinary as living Picture Quote #1

I can’t even tell you what else I imagined. I can only humiliate myself to such a degree; at a certain point it becomes humorous, and this story is not meant to be humorous. This story is meant to winch your ribs open and tamper with your heart. This story is meant to make you realize that your chances of happiness in this world are terribly slim if you lack a fine imagination Picture Quote #1

If you spend your whole life being careful not to break anything, you’ll get terribly bored, you know... I can’t think of anything more fun than being impulsive! Picture Quote #1

If you’re frightened of damaging yourself, you increase the risk of doing just that. Consider the tightrope walker. Do you think he spares any thought for falling while he’s walking the rope? No, he accepts the risk, and enjoys the thrill of braving the danger. If you spend your whole life being careful not to break anything, you’ll get terribly bored, you know... I can’t think of anything more fun than being impulsive Picture Quote #1

And she was terribly aware that she was alive. Not just living and breathing, but... alive Picture Quote #1

I knew immediately something was terribly wrong, but you can know that and not allow the thought in your head, at the front of your head. It dances around at the back, where it can’t be controlled. But the front of the head is where the pain begins Picture Quote #1

We don’t miss what we never had, but we miss terribly things we almost had. And we miss things we used to have most of all. Through we hope and pray for our relationships, our looks, and our lives to improve, having more also means having more to lose Picture Quote #1

If we look for ways to get rid of necessary pain, we’ll be disillusioned or misled. For people who define real change as the elimination of inevitable struggle, the final chapters will be terribly disappointing Picture Quote #1

As time passed and he grew to know people better, he began to think of himself as an extraordinary man, one set apart from his fellows. He wanted terribly to make his life a thing of great importance, and as he looked about at his fellow men and saw how like clods they lived it seemed to him that he could not bear to become also such a clod Picture Quote #1

Nothing enrages me more than when people criticize my criticism of school by telling me that schools are not just places to learn maths and spelling, they are places where children learn a vaguely defined thing called socialization... I think schools generally do an effective and terribly damaging job of teaching children to be infantile, dependent, intellectually dishonest, passive and disrespectful to their own developmental capacities Picture Quote #1
