Xp Quotes

What's transcendental in Blake is not the statically geometrical, but the sense of arrested energy: the wriggling vines and snakes, flames and the like...It's an expression of the belief that every object is an event Picture Quote #1

We read (experience) a text linearly, forgetting most of it while we read; then we study it as a simultaneous unit Picture Quote #1

A writer's desire to write can only have come from previous experience of literature, and he'll start by imitating whatever he's read, which usually means what the people around him are writing Picture Quote #1

For the serious mediocre writer convention makes him sound like a lot of other people; for the popular writer it gives him a formula he can exploit; for the serious good writer it releases his experiences or emotions from himself and incorporates them into literature, where they belong Picture Quote #1

To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics Picture Quote #1

I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people's opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there, promote your film and hope people like the work you did Picture Quote #1

Hoover was incredibly ambitious as a young man. He was highly motivated to succeed in Washington, primarily due to his mother's expectations of him Picture Quote #1

I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of Picture Quote #1

I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances Picture Quote #1

I've always been spontaneous and outgoing... I've tried lots of things so I've got some good life experiences, which is great 'cause it means I've got lots of material to work with as an actor Picture Quote #1

But please know, whether you believe campaign contributions are speech or property, that I learned to love very dearly the right of free expression when I lived without that freedom for a while a long time ago Picture Quote #1

Barbara Boxer is the most bitterly partisan, most anti-defense senator in the United States Senate today. I know that because I've had the unpleasant experience of having to serve with her Picture Quote #1

You cannot tell the enemy you're going to leave and expect the enemy to not - and expect to succeed. I mean, that's just a fundamental of warfare Picture Quote #1

Even if you don't believe in God, exploring fully the idea of a god or gods should pose no threat to you Picture Quote #1

About six months ago, I listened to Siamese Dream. That was the first time I'd ever really heard my own album, because I had separated from the experience of making the record. And it really moved me. It made me cry, it's so beautiful Picture Quote #1

A high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace Picture Quote #1

Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it Picture Quote #1

These endless legal challenges that define elections in New York are a joke in this country, and they are the reason why it is so expensive, or one of the reasons, it's so expensive to run here and why so many people decide not to run Picture Quote #1

There is in the human race some dark spirit of recalcitrance, always pulling us in the direction contrary to that in which we are reasonably expected to go Picture Quote #1

It's easy to let life deteriorate into making a living instead of making a life. It's not the hours you put in, but what you out into the hours that count. Learn to express rather than impress. Expressing evokes a me too attitude while impressing evokes a so what attitude Picture Quote #1

Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future Picture Quote #1

Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago, I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me Picture Quote #1

The unluckiest insolvent in the world is the man whose expenditure of speech is too great for his income of ideas Picture Quote #1

There is an innate decorum in man, and it is not fair to thrust truth upon people when they don't expect it. Only the very generous are ready for truth impromptu Picture Quote #1

There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love, and like that colossal adventure it is an experience of great social import. Even as the tranced swain, the book lover yearns to tell others of his bliss. He writes letters about it, adds it to the postscript of all manner of communications, intrudes it into telephone messages, and insists on his friends writing down the title of the find. Like the simple-hearted betrothed, once certain of his conquest Picture Quote #1

When I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two - and didn't like it - and didn't inhale and never tried inhaling again Picture Quote #1

[Explaining his affair with Monica Lewinsky:] I did something for the worst possible reason - just because I could Picture Quote #1

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible Picture Quote #1

I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you're older, I think, is that - how to express this - you really must make the self. It's absolutely useless to look for it, you won't find it, but it's possible in some sense to make it Picture Quote #1
