Used Quotes

I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it’s the one thing I can think of that probably doesn’t Picture Quote #1

My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son’s perspective Picture Quote #1

It is one of the strictest conditions of initiation that occult knowledge may never be sold or used for gain Picture Quote #1

For a long time, I used to think that I had a man’s brain that I thought more like a man than a woman. But now I’ve come to realise that whatever it is I do think like, it’s not like men; because men don’t really think like men, they think like boys Picture Quote #1

You’re getting rid of the things that people used to think were essential to art. But that reduction is only incidental. I object to the whole reduction idea…if my work is reductionist it’s because it doesn’t have the elements that people thought should be there. But it has other elements I like Picture Quote #1

In thinking of light, if we can think about what it can do, and what it is, by thinking about itself, not about what we wanted it to do for other things, because again we’ve used light as people might be used, in the sense that we use it to light paintings. We use it to light so that we can read. We don’t really pay much attention to the light itself. And so turning that and letting light and sound speak for itself is that you figure out these different relationships and rules Picture Quote #1

A farm regulated to production of raw commodities is not a farm at all. It is a temporary blip until the land is used up, the water polluted, the neighbors nauseated, and the air unbreathable. The farmhouse, the concrete, the machinery, and outbuildings become relics of a bygone vibrancy when another family farm moves to the city financial centers for relief Picture Quote #1

It’s like our daddies and moms always used to tell us growing up, you don’t get what you deserve, you get what you earn Picture Quote #1

I have been seriously afraid at times but have used my fear as a stimulating factor rather than allowing it to paralyse me. My abilities have not been outstanding, but I have had sufficient strength and determination to meet my challenges and have usually managed to succeed with them Picture Quote #1

God, it’s like reality’s completely shifted on me. I used to think I was standing on such solid ground. If I wanted something badly enough, I just worked like hell for it. Now I can’t decide what to do, which move to make. All the things I counted on aren’t there for me anymore Picture Quote #1

Our effectiveness depends on our capacity to be audacious and astute, clear and appealing. I would hope that we can create a language more fearless and beautiful than that used by conformist writers to greet the twilight Picture Quote #1

One day I was living silently in a personal hell, without anyone to tell what I felt, without even knowing that the feelings I had were possible to have; and then one day I was not living like that at all. I had begun to see the past like this: there is a line; you can draw it yourself, or sometimes it gets drawn for you; either way, there it is, your past, a collection of people you used to be and things you used to do. Your past is the person you no longer are, the situations you are no longer in Picture Quote #1

I used to think that if I made $50,000 I’d be the happiest guy in the world Picture Quote #1

An idea which can be used once is a trick. If it can be used more than once it becomes a method Picture Quote #1

We certainly haven’t used that as a motivation,... The games themselves and the time that they’ve put in in preparation for these games is motivation enough. I don’t think that has anything to do with it at all Picture Quote #1

You know the sultans used to light their garden parties with turtles? They’d put candles on their backs and let them wander around. Hundreds of them Picture Quote #1

Information is now a commodity that can be bought and sold, or used as a form of entertainment, or worn like a garment to enhance one’s status. It comes indiscriminately, directed at no one in particular, disconnected from usefulness; we are glutted with information, drowning in information, have no control over it, don’t know what to do with it Picture Quote #1

If we forget what used to be, then we’ve lost an ability to really be sensitive to our surroundings Picture Quote #1

Everyone needs solitude, especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation Picture Quote #1

We used to be calorie poor and now the problem is obesity. We used to be data poor, now the problem is data obesity Picture Quote #1

Used to be marketing was viewed as the people with crayons and scissors who did creative work. Now it’s seen as central to driving growth Picture Quote #1

Instead of looking at our challenges and limitations as something negative or bad, we can begin to look at them as blessings, magnificent gifts that can be used to ignite our imaginations and help us go further than we ever knew we could go Picture Quote #1

Mom used to frame everything we made, and now I’m following her example. It makes children so proud to see their work on display instead of hidden away. I figure if I take my children’s work seriously, maybe they will too. And it reinforces the idea that art is not something alien and esoteric. Anyone can make art Picture Quote #1

It used to be that death and taxes alone were inevitable. Now there’s shipping and handling Picture Quote #1

I used to like girls with nice hands and legs, but now, as long as she loves me and doesn’t leave me, that would be fine Picture Quote #1

I used to be treated like an idiot, now I’m treated like an idiot savant Picture Quote #1

Whoever eats anything at a wedding luncheon? They make the food out of papier mache. My salad had been used four or five times this week Picture Quote #1

I think the environmental movement has failed in that it’s used the stick too much; it’s used the apocalyptic tone too much; it hasn’t sold the positive aspects of being environmentally concerned and trying to pull us out Picture Quote #1

While we meant to invite debate about some ways the word was used this year, that nuance was lost, and we regret that its inclusion has become a distraction from the important debate over equality and justice Picture Quote #1

You will accomplish more by kind words and a courteous manner than by anger or sharp rebuke, which should never be used except in necessity Picture Quote #1
