We might all place ourselves in one of two ranks the women who do something, and the women who do nothing; the first being of course the only creditable place to occupy.
Being an only child, I didn't have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.
I undertake the same project as Montaigne, but with an aim contrary to his own: for he wrote his Essays only for others, and I write my reveries only for myself.
I wonder what it's like to be from a state that is spread across a few islands way out in the Pacific Ocean, only added to the United States in 1959. Not only that but to be the birthplace of America's first black president? Pretty cool, I bet.
The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.
The fact is that all of us have only one personality, and we wring it out like a dishtowel. You are what you are.
The only thing Steve Jobs has ever asked me in all the years we've been together and have been partners, the only thing he has ever asked me is: 'Make it great.'
It was only after five years in the army, when I was having to do a very boring job in a very boring place, that I thought: 'Why not try writing a novel?' partly out of youthful arrogance and partly because there had been a long line of writers in my mother's family.
To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.
If we don't act, drilling will be allowed only 3 miles off Florida's east coast beaches.
The only deadly sin I know is cynicism.
Virtue can only flourish among equals.
You can only generate ideas when you put pencil to paper, brush to canvas... when you actually do something physical.
I've been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that's all anyone can expect.
Stop relying only on technology. Technology can help the qualified, well-trained human being but cannot replace him.
I would have to commit a crime and have cops chase me. That would be the only way to get me to jog five miles.
The only projects that excite me have to be tied to some aspect of social change. No matter how beautiful, a coffee book doesn't exactly move you to change the way you cook or eat.
At the time that they were shown, the Brillo Boxes were underappreciated. It's only now, with the patina of history, that we can really see these masterpieces in a clear light.

Custer had dead heroes. Crazy Horse had only live ones.
Personally, I do not know whether humankind is alone in this vast universe. But I do know that we should cherish our existence on this precious speck of matter... the greatest gift that could be bestowed upon us. For all practical purposes, there is only one planet Earth.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Only reality interests me now and I know I could spend the rest of my life in copying a chair.
When I started off, I didn't only ride to fame on my looks though many people I know think otherwise.

The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
The only thing that frightens me a little is when I'm called Kevin rather than Fred, but that's how people have known me for so many years. So, I can't really blame them.
In the old days we used to get more referrals, because people had insurance that paid for therapy. Now they belong to HMOs, and we can only be affiliated with a few HMOs.
The human being is flesh and consciousness, body and soul; his heart is an abyss which can only be filled by that which is godly.
Only here, because of the illusion of intellectualism, our society separates the validity of human expression.
Young voters are crucial. The trend over recent years has been for them to drift away. So anything that gets young voters interested in the electoral process not only has an immediate effect, but has an effect for years and years.
At the moment, my mother is the only one left in Glasgow, although it's certainly my home.
I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.
The circle of the return to birth can only remain open, but this is a chance, a sign of life, and a wound.
