Told Quotes

There is one bit of advice given us by the ancient Greeks, and by the Jews in the Old Testament, and by the great Christian teachers of the Middle Ages, which the modern economic system has completely disobeyed. All these people told us not to lend money at interest; and lending money at interest - what we call investment - is the basis of our whole system Picture Quote #1

Your kindness, beauty, and simplicity remind me the stories about angels, and I was told they are just legends and myths Picture Quote #1

My head spins. One moment I’m told I’m too edgy, then people say I’m too angry, then that I show too much passion... make your minds up Picture Quote #1

Some people say that their pets will tell them when it’s time to go. I don’t believe that. No animal of mine has ever told me he was ready to die. I wish it were that simple. Dogs can communicate, but they cannot talk, nor do they think in our language or on our terms Picture Quote #1

It’s a great thriller or mystery, but on another level it’s a film about the fact that, if you only look at a person through one lens, or only believe what you’re told, you can often miss the truth that is staring you in the face Picture Quote #1

I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I’ve seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they’re told they are supposed to be playing comedy Picture Quote #1

If there’s no one else to tell another side - the only story that can be told is the story that becomes true. (p. 173) Picture Quote #1

Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don’t like to lose, and if I’m told ‘no,’ then I find another way to get my ‘yes.’ But I’m a loyal person Picture Quote #1

My grandpa told me, ‘Learn to love anxiety, because it never goes away in moviemaking.’ Picture Quote #1

Son, anything can happen to anyone, my father told me, but it usually doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I’ve always told the musicians in my band to play what they know and then play above that. Because then anything can happen, and that’s where great art and music happens Picture Quote #1

But its not funny. Not to people who’ve been told they’re losers their whole lives and believe they will never be anything else Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s a great thing to tell people anything is possible. When I was 15, people told me ‘You’re not going to be a DJ.’ Picture Quote #1

I was 27, an unemployed actress living in a really crappy studio apartment. I had just moved to Los Angeles alone, away from my family. I had cervical and uterine cancer and I was told that I would never be able to carry a baby Picture Quote #1

Articles always end up being about my appearance. I had a conversation with Jude Law: he told me people’s obsession with looks goes away after a while Picture Quote #1

Monkeys don’t enjoy or appreciate flavours. Experts have told us that human beings are the only beings that can appreciate food at this higher level and the only living beings that cook Picture Quote #1

The decision to go to the moon is now appreciated and associated with President Kennedy’s speech, but somebody else had told him it was a good idea. It turned out to be a good commitment, but it was a unique situation Picture Quote #1

I had a guidance counsellor who made me take an aptitude test, and told me I should be a bricklayer Picture Quote #1

In any conflict area, it is always the women who are the first point of attack. But I think the more they have seen of oppression and violence, they have gotten more brave, more strong, more fearless than they were. You see this refusal to just keep quiet and do as you are told Picture Quote #1

Architecture students are generally given theoretical projects, often located at distant locations, and told to come up with a design Picture Quote #1

Every day I am being told to sign up for Tumblr, Yammer, Friendfeed, Plaxo, Last.fm, ping.fm or the hot social-media tool du jour that happened to get mentioned on Mashable.com. It is like a social-media arms race. Each one of these new tools is like a cool new night club. Hot today, gone tomorrow, replaced with something else Picture Quote #1

In fact, my mom always told me because I was the daughter of an Army officer born overseas in Paris, France, that under the Constitution she believed that I could never run for president Picture Quote #1

I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art, even though people who collect clothes get a bad rap because they’re told it’s all vanity Picture Quote #1

The reason the art world doesn’t respond to Kinkade is because none - not one - of his ideas about subject-matter, surface, color, composition, touch, scale, form, or skill is remotely original. They’re all cliche and already told Picture Quote #1
