The novels that have fascinated me most are the ones that have reached me less through the channels of the intellect or reason than bewitched me.
Memory is more indelible than ink.
I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.
People mature with age and experience. I hope I more resemble a fine wine than bad vinegar.
I like a man who can run faster than I can.
When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.
I wanted control over what was said and what was not said, rather than holding my head down in shame.
I won't play for a penny less than fifteen hundred dollars.
America has a love-hate relationship with celebrity. We love to follow celebrities, but we also love to mock them. And secretly, we believe we're better than they are.
It is harder to preserve than to obtain liberty.
I no longer practice medicine, but I can say that, for me, medicine was easier - and certainly less emotionally turbulent - than writing.
I have a boy's body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that's more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo's body than mine.
I always sing Adele in the shower. But everyone should know you never sing an Adele song in public because no one's better than Adele.
When a man's mind rides faster than his horse can gallop they quickly both tire.
Animals interest me more than anything else.
Most actors will tell you they have some sort of dream of doing something other than what they're doing.
As a Christian, there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.
I don't think there's any player that's more talented than Alex Rodriguez. He cares very deeply about doing well. Baseball is his life. He puts a lot of pressure on himself.
A poem may be an instance of morality, of social conditions, of psychological history; it may instance all its qualities, but never one of them alone, nor any two or three; never less than all.
It is a fact that all women contribute more to marriage than men; for the most part they have to change their place of living, their method of work, a great many women today changing their occupation entirely on marriage; and they must even change their name.
Our American heritage is greater than any one of us. It can express itself in very homely truths; in the end it can lift up our eyes beyond the glow in the sunset skies.
In the last 5 years, American employers have lost over $150 billion of productivity to depression alone. That is more than the GDP of 28 different States during the same period.
The U.S. couldn't even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They'll be killing each other again in less than a year. I'm sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.
The only way to win tournaments is with the short game. Over half your shots out here are within 30 or 40 yards. Ballstriking is where I'm trying to improve, yes, but more to eliminate big numbers than make birdies.
Collaborating with someone on music is the same way you'd go about hanging out. You have to listen more than you talk.
Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.
I mean, we are tribal by nature, and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship, hardship tends to unify.
It is more comfortable for me, in the long run, to be rude than polite.
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
If I was a boy, nobody would care that I worked out six, seven hours a day when I was 9 years old, no? Why were people always saying 'poor little girl?' I liked to work out and always did more than I was asked to.
My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.
Competitive skills are desperately needed by poor children in America, and realistic recognition of the economic roles that they may someday have an opportunity to fill is obviously important, too. But there is more to life, and there ought to be much more to childhood, than readiness for economic functions.
I admire my fellow judge Paul Hollywood enormously, though we often argue. He believes presentation and uniformity are paramount; I'm more interested in taste. I don't mind if one bun is smaller than the others, or if there's a little pastry cracking, though I don't want a soggy bottom.
The Middle East and South Asia have a lot less in common with America than 18-year-old kids in Boston have with 18-year-old kids in Arkansas.
War of attrition, war of wills. That's what the Stanley Cup playoffs are - more intense, more physical and more prolonged than the playoffs of any other sport.
The worst thing is the day you realize you want to win more than the players do.
