You can construct the character of a man and his age not only from what he does and says, but from what he fails to say and do.
I'm a very good packer, but I probably take too much in the way of toiletries. You only really need a toothbrush, as most places you go to have a bar of soap and some shampoo.
Only two journalists followed the team around.
The great American novel has not only already been written, it has already been rejected.
I am provocative, and I admit this. It isn't as if I'm only on the receiving end, a poor, frail little creature. I can be thoroughly nasty when I get going, and I don't pull my punches.
People apparently only read mystery stories of any length. With mysteries, the longer the better, and people will read any damn thing. But the indulgent, 800-page books that were written a hundred years ago are just not going to be written anymore, and people need to get used to that.
Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
As a longtime practitioner of yoga and a person who's been involved in physical fitness my whole life, I can tell you, yoga helps you achieve altered states of consciousness. It is not just stretching. The only way you can say that it's stretching is if you haven't done it, or that you haven't done it rigorously for a long period of time.
When you're with your wife, you don't say I love you to your wife every day but the ways you look at her and your actions are another way to communicate. Don't focus on dialogue, only focus on what you're expressing.
Honestly, I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.
Roosevelt talked not only about Freedom from Fear, but also Freedom from Want.
When a person only knows abuse, they shift their whole emotional and spiritual life into the context of that abuse. If all you've ever known is to be hurt by the one that pretends to love you, then many times you go to the one who hurts you for love.
Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.
It was only when I finished the course and left my graduation diploma on the bus that I realised I'd become an actor.
Irish people are educated not only about artistry but local history.
I finally moved out of my parent's house. It was only fair to let my sister have her own room.
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
When Reg died and we first looked into getting a new dog, I was adamant we should pick up a mongrel from an animal-rescue shelter. It's not only that they're usually healthier and have better temperaments, they also fit with my world view - I prefer a ballpoint to a fountain pen, a barber to a hair stylist, and camping over glamping.
Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.
Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and useless. These, now as of old, are not gifts of the gods: men stumble into them themselves because of their own blindness and folly.
As women, we can over-think things so much that we silence our intuition and only focus on the reasons something won't work.
The sense organs experience the external light, sound, etc. with difficulty; the different sense organs only have a so-called specific receptivity for particular stimuli.
If one's memories of Baghdad women were only of those to be seen in the streets, they would be of leathery, wrinkled faces, prematurely old, figures which have lost all shape, and henna-stained hands crinkled and deformed by toil.
Hackney gets a bit of a bad rap, but it's the only place I've ever lived that felt like a community. I know my neighbours.
I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.
Acting is the only thing I'm even vaguely good at and acting is something that I think I do know about.
In a repressive society, a writer can be deeply influential, but in a society that's filled with glut and repetition and endless consumption, the act of terror may be the only meaningful act.
My boarding school experience was the only thing I had strong enough feelings to write about for hundreds and hundreds of pages. I can still smell the formaldehyde of the fetal pigs in biology.
I have only one real hobby - my husband.
I only aim at the powerful. When satire is aimed at the powerless, it is not only cruel - it's vulgar.
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
It might be arrogant to think that we're the only living creations in all of the solar systems that there are. Space is so vast.
We have done a poor job educating people about education. Only when we have clarified that can we talk about how best to achieve it.
It would be awesome to stay popular, but if I was only an underground artist, I would be okay with that.
