Tried Quotes

For me, you don’t ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That’s what I’ve tried to go out and do Picture Quote #1

Since I loved underground music, I tried to carve a space for feminism within it. Those were my hopes Picture Quote #1

I’ve been very much intrigued by and impressed with women. But I’ve never been intimidated. Even if I make a fool of myself, it’s better to have tried Picture Quote #1

I hated it when people tried to force me out when I wasn’t ready. It was very painful, and it actually pushed me away from doing so Picture Quote #1

I was very awkward as a kid. I was a square trying to fit into a circle and it never worked for me. The harder I tried, the harder I fell. For some reason I was a real target and I got beat up and called names Picture Quote #1

All my life I’ve tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it Picture Quote #1

I’m really specific in the way that I shoot. I’ve always had a very good sense of what I need in the editing room. I used to shoot in a way that drew more attention to the camera and I’ve tried, in each film, to draw less and less attention to the camera. I think when you pay attention to the shots, you’re aware of the fact that there’s a director Picture Quote #1

I grew up with just my mom. She and I were like best friends. She’s a very independent woman and I admire that about her. In my life, I’ve tried to be like that. To be okay with being on my own and being independent Picture Quote #1

Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I’d just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things Picture Quote #1

When I first got into the league, I tried to fit in. Now I don’t care Picture Quote #1

I’ve always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That’s been part of the journey Picture Quote #1

When people ask where I studied to be an ambassador, I say my neighborhood and my school. I’ve tried to tell my kids that you don’t wait until you’re in high school or college to start dealing with problems of people being different. The younger you start, the better Picture Quote #1

The dragonets found the carpenters to be even more fascinating than the furniture, and followed the poor men from pen to pen, crowding around to watch, tasting the wooden planks, trying to steal the tools. It made for an interesting day for everyone, as the boys tried to keep the dragonets away from the carpenters, and the dragonets tried to get at the carpenters, and the carpenters worked probably a great deal faster than they ever had in their lives, sure that the dragonets would go from tasting the wood to tasting them Picture Quote #1

People often ask me why my style is so simple. It is, in fact, deceptively simple, for no two sentences are alike. It is clarity that I am striving to attain, not simplicity. Of course, some people want literature to be difficult and there are writers who like to make their readers toil and sweat. They hope to be taken more seriously that way. I have always tried to achieve a prose that is easy and conversational. And those who think this is simple should try it for themselves Picture Quote #1

He tried to name which of the deadly seven might apply, and when he failed he decided to append an eighth, regret Picture Quote #1

She tried to allow herself only one biting remark an hour, and she had already overstepped her allowance Picture Quote #1

... it was so rich and exotic I was seduced into taking one bite and then another as I tried to chase the flavors back to their source Picture Quote #1

You stayed around your children as long as you could, inhaling the ambient gold shavings of their childhood, and at the last minute you tried to see them off into life and hoped that the little piece of time you’d given them was enough to prevent them from one day feeling lonely and afraid and hopeless. You wouldn’t know the outcome for a long time Picture Quote #1

I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit Picture Quote #1

Aloud she said why not you ray you were involed in this as much as the resst of uswhy is it that bud never tried to do anything to you?his armed tighted around her.’he knew the worst thing for me was a world without you Picture Quote #1

Won’t you celebrate with me what I have shaped into a kind of life? I had no model. born in babylon both nonwhite and woman what did I see to be except myself? I made it up here on this bridge between starshine and clay, my one hand holding tight my other hand; come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed Picture Quote #1

Her voice, high and clear, moved through the leaves, through the sunlight. It splashed onto the gravel, the grass. He imagined the notes falling into the air like stones into water, rippling the invisible surface of the world. Waves of sound, waves of light: his father had tried to pin everything down, but the world was fluid and could not be contained Picture Quote #1

So as a seventh grader, no, you weren’t friends with people you didn’t like. But sometimes you also weren’t friends with people you did like, which was complicated, and which didn’t make any sense if you tried to explain it. Sometimes things just changed. That’s where the sadness came in Picture Quote #1

To burn it as fuel, for light and warmth. You have learned to break the world that has tried to break you Picture Quote #1

He hunched his shoulders and tried to make himself smaller in the seat. He wanted to disappear, to fade away, not to exist Picture Quote #1
