Thrown Quotes

Retirement may be looked upon either as a prolonged holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on to the scrap heap Picture Quote #1

What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what’s thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going Picture Quote #1

I had thrown my body in for art... I had thrown myself into this game for art. You know, I was not a very good artist. But this was, like, one thing I could do. (On being photographed nude playing chess with Marcel Duchamp at Duchamp’s 1963 retrospective at the Pasadena Museum of Art.) Picture Quote #1

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion. Over a large number of bets, the odds even out and we can make predictions; that's why casino owners are so rich. But over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important Picture Quote #1

I’ve known people that the world has thrown everything at to discourage them... to break their spirit. And yet something about them retains a dignity. They face life and don’t ask quarters Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have a grip on that ball. I shouldn’t have thrown it Picture Quote #1

I am not surprised that there are gambling houses, like so many snares laid for human avarice; like abysses where many a man’s money is engulfed and swallowed up without any hope of return; like frightful rocks against which the gamblers are thrown and perish Picture Quote #1

Some frauds succeed from the apparent candor, the open confidence, and the full blaze of ingenuousness that is thrown around them. The slightest mystery would excite suspicion and ruin all. Such stratagems may be compared to the stars; they are discoverable by darkness and hidden only by light Picture Quote #1

I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown to the hard rock bottom of your heart Picture Quote #1

What is charm then? The free giving of a grace, the spending of something given by nature in her role of spendthrift... something extra, superfluous, unnecessary, essentially a power thrown away Picture Quote #1

You do the best you can with what’s thrown at you, then you try again Picture Quote #1

You’re gonna get thrown curve balls left and right, and that’s just the way it goes Picture Quote #1

There are many times in my life, when I could’ve thrown in the towel. Many times in my life when I was on the floor. And when you’re on the floor, never allow anybody to pick you up. It doesn’t matter how long you stay there, make sure you pick yourself up and dust yourself down. Whatever happens, whether you go home today or you don’t go home today, that’s irrelevant. What’s relevant, is you take the knowledge from the experience and you grow as a person Picture Quote #1

My biographer said that my parties reminded them of a vicarage tea party, with sex thrown in Picture Quote #1

Day and night she had drudged and struggled and thrown her soul into her work, and there was not much of her left over for anything else. Being human, she suffered from this lack and did what she could to make up for it. If she passed the evening bent over a table in the library and later declared that she had spent that time playing cards, it was as though she had managed to do both those things. Through the lies, she lived vicariously. The lies doubled the little of her existence that was left over from work and augmented the little rag end of her personal life Picture Quote #1

As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved Picture Quote #1

He had thrown himself away, he had lost interest in everything, and life, falling in with his feelings, had demanded nothing of him. He had lived as an outsider, an idler and onlooker, well liked in his young manhood, alone in his illness and advancing years. Seized with weariness, he sat down on the wall, and the river murmured darkly in his thoughts Picture Quote #1

He was a horse of goodly countenance, rather expressive of vigilance than fire; though an unnatural appearance of fierceness was thrown into it by the loss of his ears, which had been cropped pretty close to his head Picture Quote #1

Anaximander says that men were first produced in fishes, and when they were grown up and able to help themselves were thrown up, and so lived upon the land Picture Quote #1

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither Picture Quote #1

Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game’s over Picture Quote #1

I’m quite happy to be thrown around and hopefully my leg will stay on Picture Quote #1
