Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carol P. Christ

The simple act of telling a woman's story from a woman's point of view is a revolutionary act: it never has been done before.

Carlos Delgado

I'm a simple guy. There's nothing fancy about my life.

Carlos Castaneda

The reason you keep on coming back to see me is very simple; every time you have seen me your body has learned certain things, even against your desire. And finally your body now needs to come back to me to learn more. Let's say that your body knows that it is going to die, even though you never think about it. So I've been telling your body that I too am going to die and before I do I would like to show our body certain things, things which you cannot give to your body yourself... So let's say then that your body returns to me because I am its friend

Carl Friedrich Gauss

As is well known the principle of virtual velocities transforms all statics into a mathematical assignment, and by D'Alembert's principle for dynamics, the latter is again reduced to statics. Although it is is very much in order that in gradual training of science and in the instruction of the individual the easier precedes the more difficult, the simple precedes the more complicated, the special precedes the general, yet the min, once it has arrived at the higher standpoint, demands the reverse process whereby all statics appears only as a very special case of mechanics.

Agnes Repplier

The cure-alls of the present day are infinitely various and infinitely obliging. Applied psychology, autosuggestion, and royal roads to learning or to wealth are urged upon us by kindly, if not altogether disinterested, reformers. Simple and easy systems for the dissolution of discord and strife; simple and easy systems for the development of personality and power. Booklets of counsel on 'How to Get What We Want,' which is impossible; booklets on 'Visualization,' warranted to make us want what we get, which is ignoble.

Alan Kay

Charles Wagner

A man is simple when his chief care is the wish to be what he ought to be, that is honestly and naturally human.

Carole Bouquet

At night, I love to look in the houses. When I was little, I did that much more, when I was so bored. It might be awful in those houses, of course, but I still speculate about them in a romantic way. Its the same if you are famous: you are in the light, and most people have fantasies about you, but these fantasies have nothing to do with reality.

Carl Barat

When I said there was only one Judy Dench, I was, of course, referring to myself.

C. S. Lewis

A glimpse is not a vision. But to a man on a mountain road by night, a glimpse of the next three feet of road may matter more than a vision of the horizon.

Aaron Sorkin

Perhaps something like Facebook couldn't have been invented by somebody who goes out five nights a week and has a ton of friends and makes friends really easily.

Aaron Sorkin

Music is what mathematics does on a Saturday night.

Charlie Daniels

I can't imagine not having a reason to get out of bed at night.

Charles de Lint

You can't stand up to the night until you understand what's hiding in its shadows.

Charles Dickens

For the night-wind has a dismal trick of wandering round and round a building of that sort, and moaning as it goes; and of trying, with its unseen hand, the windows and the doors; and seeking out some crevices by which to enter.

Charles Caleb Colton

Despotism can no more exist in a nation until the liberty of the press be destroyed than the night can happen before the sun is set.

Aaron Tveit

Awards are not something that I measure my work by. I've been so fortunate and I've gotten to do such terrific things that it seems petty to look back and say, 'Oh, I should have gotten that prize.' I don't look at it that way.

Aaron Sorkin

Only criminals and adulterers should have to hide who they are.

Charlotte Bronte

They will both be happy, and I do not grudge them their bliss; but I groan under my own misery: some of my suffering is very acute. Truly, I ought not to have been born: they should have smothered me at first cry.

Charlotte Bronte

I had a theoretical reverence and homage for beauty, elegance, gallantry, fascination but had I met those qualities incarnate in masculine shape, I should have known instinctively that they had nor could have sympathy with anything in me...

Charles Spurgeon

Brethren, who are we that God should have been so good to us?

Dianne Wiest

Jane Austen

If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient.

Jamie Redknapp

I haven't achieved as much as I should have done in my career.

Chinua Achebe

Mr. Brown had thought of nothing but numbers. He should have known that the kingdom of God did not depend on large crowds. Our Lord Himself stressed the importance of fewness. Narrow is the way and few the number. To fill the Lord's holy temple with an idolatrous crowd clamoring for signs was a folly of everlasting consequence. Our Lord used the whip only once in His life - to drive the crowd away from His church.
