Tried Quotes

I’ll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It’s the silence that scares me. It’s the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment Picture Quote #1

I tried softball and soccer. I just didn’t take as much of a liking to it as I did sitting in a movie theater and watching people recreate a story, and doing it myself, as well Picture Quote #1

If I hadn’t been told I was garbage, I wouldn’t have learned how to show people I’m talented. And if everyone had always laughed at my jokes, I wouldn’t have figured out how to be so funny. If they hadn’t told me I was ugly, I never would have searched for my beauty. And if they hadn’t tried to break me down, I wouldn’t know that I’m unbreakable Picture Quote #1

We wear our names heavily. And though we have tried to escape their influence, they have seeped into us, and we find ourselves living their patterns again and again Picture Quote #1

Come celebrate with me that every day something has tried to kill me and has failed Picture Quote #1

Well, I kind of think that the opposite is true. The customer is rarely right. And that is why you must seize the control of the circumstance and dominate every last detail: to guarantee that they’re going to have a far better time than they ever would have had if they tried to control it themselves Picture Quote #1

Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it... If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down Picture Quote #1

You will have more regrets for the things you didn’t try than the ones you tried and didn’t succeed at Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried to find a new elegance. It’s not easy because people want to be shocked. They want explosive fashion. But explosions don’t last, they disappear immediately and leave nothing but ashes Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where life will lead me, but I know where I’ve been. I can’t say what life will show me, but I know what I’ve seen. Tried my hand at love and friendship, but all that is passed and gone. This little boy is moving on Picture Quote #1

People tried to make me something that I wasn’t at the beginning of my career Picture Quote #1

In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle Picture Quote #1

You must not suppose, because I am a man of letters, that I never tried to earn an honest living Picture Quote #1

What a thrill that will be if I have to die in the electric chair. It will be the supreme thrill. The only one I haven’t tried Picture Quote #1

I am thankful for the way I was raised, to be positive. Even when times have gotten rough I have always tried to look on the bright side. Even when I was put down, yelled at and made feel insignificant, I still thought things were alright. I did realize when enough is enough Picture Quote #1

He’s sort of caught everybody on the hot, really, and good luck to him. He tried it last week as an experiment and it certainly worked Picture Quote #1

We tried to present the ordinary in an extraordinary manner. But that’s the paradox because the only thing extraordinary about it was that it was so ordinary. Nobody had ever done it before, deliberately. Now it’s called documentary, which I suppose is all right... We just took pictures that cried out to be taken Picture Quote #1

Swipe fees have increased steadily since the introduction of debit cards 20 years ago, when there were no swipe fees at all. Merchants can’t negotiate or control them. They’ve tried, but they have no leverage against the big banks and issuers. So they get ignored Picture Quote #1

When I was 16 years old I tried to kill myself because I felt different and that I didn’t belong. Now I’m here, and I want this moment to be for that kid who feels weird or different. Stay weird, stay different Picture Quote #1

I have meant what I have done. Or I have often meant what I have done. Or I have sometimes meant what I have done. Or I have tried to mean what I was doing Picture Quote #1

What has worked before is never as good as something that has never been tried before, even if it doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

They say I tried to hurt my nurse. I tell them they tried to hurt me first Picture Quote #1

I do not know if it is true that all actors want to direct and all directors want to act, but in 1972 I tried directing and decided I had better stick to acting Picture Quote #1

Whatever success I’ve had it is because I’ve tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach’s duty is to avoid complicating matters Picture Quote #1

Where I grew up, learning was a collective activity. But when I got to school and tried to share learning with other students that was called cheating. The curriculum sent the clear message to me that learning was a highly individualistic, almost secretive, endeavor. My working class experience... was disparaged Picture Quote #1

If I were a carpenter, I would build you a window to my soul. But I would leave that window shut and locked, so that every time you tried to look through it all you would see is your own reflection. You would see that my soul is a reflection of you Picture Quote #1

I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn’t really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick Picture Quote #1

I have tried to bring about better communication between people. I believe that humanitarian photography is like economics. Economy is a kind of sociology, as is documentary photography Picture Quote #1

When you’ve tried all the salves in the world and they don’t work, you start thinking about fire Picture Quote #1

Of course you will say that I ought to be practical and ought to try and paint the way they want me to paint. Well, I will tell you a secret. I have tried and I have tried very hard, but I can’t do it. I just can’t do it! And that is why I am just a little crazy Picture Quote #1
