Text Quotes
One of the great challenges of our age, in which the tools of our productivity are also the tools of our leisure, is to figure out how to make more useful those moments of procrastination when we’re idling in front of our computer screens  (The Great Quotes) The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story  (The Great Quotes) Be careful how you do one man a pleasure which must needs occasion equal displeasure in another. For he who is thus slighted will not forget, but will think the offence to himself the greater in that another profits by it; while he who receives the pleasure will either not remember it, or will consider the favour done him less than it really was  (The Great Quotes) We need a government, not politics. Because there’s too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization  (The Great Quotes) I think the great thing about grandparents is seeing another home, realising that people you love can have different priorities, different diversions, different opinions and lead quite different lives from the ones you see every day, and that is immensely valuable  (The Great Quotes) Talent will only take you so far, and it is your ability to feel the music and explore a movement that will bring you the greatest pleasure in dance  (The Great Quotes) Certainly, people can get along without siblings. Single children do, and there are people who have irreparably estranged relationships with their siblings who live full and satisfying lives, but to have siblings and not make the most of that resource is squandering one of the greatest interpersonal resources you’ll ever have  (The Great Quotes) The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work  (The Great Quotes) The great thing about getting older is that you get a chance to tell the people in your life who matter what they mean to you  (The Great Quotes) It is the experiences, the great triumphant joy of living to the fullest extent in which real meaning is found. God it’s great to be alive!  (The Great Quotes) You’ve got to stay current and up with the competition. The main thing, though, is finding the greatest songs you can possibly find  (The Great Quotes) The great myth is the manager as orchestra conductor. It’s this idea of standing on a pedestal and you wave your baton and accounting comes in, and you wave it somewhere else and marketing chimes in with accounting, and they all sound very glorious. But management is more like orchestra conducting during rehearsals, when everything is going wrong  (The Great Quotes) And I think it’s because good cons are all based on the victim’s need, and the successful con artist is the one, I guess, who can exploit that. I remember reading something about this, that one of the great traits of confidence tricksters is the level that they flatter their victim  (The Great Quotes) When I’m at the greatest odds with my body, it’s usually because I feel my body’s betraying me, whether that’s been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn’t eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn’t get my body to do what I wanted it to do  (The Great Quotes) A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it’s the greatest feeling in the world  (The Great Quotes) One of the great failings of our education system is that we tend to focus on those who are succeeding in exams, and there are plenty of them. But what we should also be looking at, and a lot more urgently, is those who fail  (The Great Quotes) I don’t see why it should be remarkable that you can acquire a reputation for fairness and decency. Those are qualities shared by so many people. And the great majority of people I meet are decent people, just trying to navigate their way through the world without causing too much trouble  (The Great Quotes) I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people’s lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch  (The Great Quotes) I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles  (The Great Quotes) The great thing about doing art shows is you get to meet the people who are interested in your art, and I think that when you’re purchasing a piece of art it’s a tremendous bonus to get to meet the artist because you get a chance to pick their brain a bit and find out first hand what the piece is about for the artist  (The Great Quotes) The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears  (The Great Quotes) My approach as an actor has always been the same, in that the greatest gift that you’re ever going to have is your imagination because you’re not going to have all life experiences. So you draw on things that are sort of close to it but you spend your time expanding on it or drawing something specific on whatever your situation is  (The Great Quotes) Much of a poet’s experience takes place in imagination only; the life he tells is oftenest the life that he strongly desires to live, and the power, the purity and height of his utterance may not seldom be the greater because experience here uses the voices of desire  (The Great Quotes) That’s the great thing about incubating something on the web: you have the potential to go to other platforms. Every single platform has a different audience that you find  (The Great Quotes) Although elephants are far more distantly related to us than the great apes, they seem to have evolved similar social and cognitive capacities  (The Great Quotes) All day, the colors had been those of dusk, mist moving like a water creature across the great flanks of mountains possessed of ocean shadows and depths  (The Great Quotes) People in general attach too much importance to words. They are under the illusion that talking effects great results. As a matter of fact, words are, as a rule, the shallowest portion of all the argument. They but dimly represent the great surging feelings and desires which lie behind. When the distraction of the tongue is removed, the heart listens  (The Great Quotes) Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts  (The Great Quotes) As the days piled up into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, and fall slid into winter, I realized one of the great truths about tragedy: You can dream of disappearing. You can wish for oblivion, for endless sleep or the escape of fiction, of walking into a river with your pockets full of stones, of letting the dark water close over your head. But if you’ve got kids, the web of the world holds you close and wraps you tight and keeps you from falling no matter how badly you think you want to fall  (The Great Quotes) The great question in life is the suffering we cause, and the most ingenious metaphysics do not justify the man who has broken the heart that loved him  (The Great Quotes)
