Text Quotes
I’d been told of all the things you’re meant to feel when your father dies. Sudden freedom, growing up, the end of dependence, the step into the sunlight when no one is taller than you and you’re in no one’s shadow. I know what I felt. Lonely  (The Thing Quotes) One of the things I have an allergic reaction to playing, especially as a black actor, is the mandatory kind of best friend/cop/detective type. You will never see me in that movie  (The Thing Quotes) Did you ever have a conversation with someone who misunderstood everything you had to say? It’s exhausting, and the ironic part is that the more you try and explain yourself, the more mixed up things become. Your best friend knows when you’re kidding, venting, and tired. He or she knows you and therefore doesn’t read into the things you say  (The Thing Quotes) You have got to compete with them... you have to be working toward a future of your own. A picture of the future of your own that is contradictory to theirs, in which the things that they want to do have no place because you have been so successful at promoting the idea of sex within marriage... focus on transforming the society to be reinforcing of all these ideas... everywhere... When you do that then you create a climate in which these things really cannot get very far  (The Thing Quotes) A person is quite different from a tree or rock or stream. By introducing the nude into my pictures, I started perceiving all the things I was photographing in new ways. In contrast or opposition to each other, things became much more significant and interesting, revealing many more qualities than I had ever dreamed of knowing and expressing. By using the nude, I stopped thinking in terms of objects. I was seeing things, instead, as dynamic events, unique in their own beings yet also related and existing together within a universal context of energy and change  (The Thing Quotes) Because that’s the thing about depression. When I feel it deeply, I don’t want to let it go. It becomes a comfort. I want to cloak myself under its heavy weight and breathe it into my lunges. I want to nurture it, grow it, cultivate it. It’s mine. I want to check out with it, drift asleep wrapped in its arms and not wake up for a long, long time  (The Thing Quotes) Capture the feeling associated with your realized wish by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of the thing you desire, and your wish will objectify itself  (The Thing Quotes) This constant, unproductive preoccupation with all the things we have to do is the single largest consumer of time and energy  (The Thing Quotes) There is one thing we know about meaning, that meaning consists in attachment to something bigger than you are. The larger the thing that you can credibly attach yourself to, the more meaning you get out of life  (The Thing Quotes) There’s a switch inside every one of us that I guess grew there as a necessary part of survival. How can you drag a fish up out of the river for your supper if you feel the yank of the hook in your own cheek? I get that part. We can’t feel for everyone and everything all the time. We’d die of fear or sorrow a hundred times a day. The thing is, it’s gotten so we flick the switch off like it’s nothing. And, more often than not, we forget to turn it back on  (The Thing Quotes) I suppose the things that you always take for granted, that you don’t even notice, are what you miss the most  (The Thing Quotes) The thing about love was that it caught you unawares, turned up in the most unexpected places, even when you weren’t looking for it  (The Thing Quotes) It’s one of the things I love about the sea, the way you can see weather afar. It’s like looking at the future  (The Thing Quotes) It’s easy to practice something that you are good at, and that is what most people do. Wat’s tough is to go ot and to work hard on the things that you don’t do very well  (The Thing Quotes) My name is on the thing, but the reality of it is, when I get up there on stage, I’m part of a band. I’m part of a unit. It’s like a basketball team  (The Thing Quotes) The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That’s not hard to do even when you’re juggling insane careers and three kids  (The Thing Quotes) The thing about legs is you’re born with them. Anybody can go out and buy boobs. But you’re either blessed with attractive legs or you’re not. That’s what makes them so sexy  (The Thing Quotes) Always remember to forget the things that made you sad, but never forget to remember the things that made you glad  (The Thing Quotes) I say, when your hair turns gray and your children think they know who you are, do the thing that shakes up who you think you are, even who you had prided yourself on being. When all those around you say they simply don’t recognize you any longer, that’s the real compliment  (The Thing Quotes) The hardest thing in making a movie is to keep in the front of your consciousness your original response to the material. Because that’s going to be the thing that will make the movie. And the loss of that will break the movie  (The Thing Quotes) When I made my first film, I think the thing was probably helped me the most was that it was such an unusual thing to do in the early 50s for someone who actually go and make a film. People thought it was impossible. It really is terribly easy. All anybody needs is a camera, a tape recorder, and some imagination  (The Thing Quotes) It’s the hardest thing in the world to put yourself in someone else’s place, try to really feel what they feel, figure out why they do the things they do. Especially when it’s easier to stick a label on something. Or someone  (The Thing Quotes) Perceptions are portraits, not photographs, and their form reveals the artist’s hand every bit as much as it reflects the things portrayed  (The Thing Quotes) If you have a story that seems worth telling, and you think you can tell it worthily, then the thing for you to do is to tell it, regardless of whether it has to do with sex, sailors or mounted policemen  (The Thing Quotes) The things we truly love, the things forming the basis and roots of our being, are generally things we never look at. A huge piece of carpeting, empty and naked plains, silent and uninterrupted stretches with nothing to alter the homogeneity of their continuity. I love wide, homogenous worlds, unstaked, unlimited like the sea, like high snows, deserts, and steppes  (The Thing Quotes) Which country is real, mine or the teacher’s? My wish is that we might progressively lose our confidence in what we think we believe and the things we consider stable and secure, in order to remind ourselves of the infinite number of things still waiting to be discovered  (The Thing Quotes) My activities have never had anything to do with the idea of becoming famous or achieving success. I have always been concerned with getting people to listen to me. In everything I do... my aim is to make people listen. I want to communicate the things that I love and in which I believe, because I think that people can derive a general benefit from them. What I really want is success in a philosophical sense: I want people to grasp something of the ideas and hopes which I express in painting  (The Thing Quotes) The thing to keep in mind is that laws are framed by those who happen to be in power and for the purpose of keeping them in power  (The Thing Quotes) A lot of what I do is about being in the moment and I think that’s hard for people to get. I like it when things suddenly affect the painting. I mix up this red and it affects the whole painting or this little bit of white falls down there, and something changes the whole nature of the thing. The residue on what happens, that’s what’s in the paintings  (The Thing Quotes) Overreaction is one of the things that congress specializes in. I can’t think of anything congress does better than overreact  (The Thing Quotes)
