Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Spurgeon

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.

Dennis Prager

All of creation, in the biblical view, was to ultimately prepare the way for the creation of man. But one does not need the Bible alone to hold this view. A purely scientific reading of the universe is in keeping with this view. Everything - every natural and physical law - is exquisitely tuned to produce life, and ultimately man, on earth.

Dennis Haysbert

I knew that they were going to be reading actors for Manute, and I wanted to give it a shot. I wanted a shot to do it, and they embraced that and said, "All right, come on in. Let's see what you've got." So, I went in, and the rest is history. It felt good when I went into the office, and it just worked.

Deborah Smith

I suspected learning a language would be both useful and enjoyable (I love memorising lists of things), and would get rid of the embarrassment of being monolingual at 21. I'd been obsessed with reading for as long as I could remember, the only thing I'd ever thought I might want to be was a writer, but I was much better at crafting sentences than at stringing plots together.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans and frustrate our ways time and again, even daily, by sending people across our path with their demands and requests. We can, then, pass them by, preoccupied with our important daily tasks, just as the priest-perhaps reading the Bible-passed by the man who had fallen among robbers. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised in our lives to show us that God’s way, and not our own, is what counts.

Elbert Hubbard

I do not read a book; I hold a conversation with the author.

Eleanor Roosevelt

the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.

Elizabeth Drew

The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.

Elizabeth Bibesco

You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word.

Alexandra Fuller

In general, I almost always watch foreign films.

Dennis Quaid

I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.

Dave Rowntree

Yes, actually. Animation's a very easy thing to watch on tour.

Bonnie Tyler

I'm always buying nice watches for my husband - Bentley Breitlings.

Christopher Nolan

I like films that don't have that unonimity of a response; that don't have consensus in the audience. What it is essentially for me is that if you go back and watch the film a second time, do you feel that you've been played fair with? Are all the clues in place? Indeed, sometimes these things are even overstated. Specifically, for that reason.

Patrick Carman

Yes, we're pretty into books around my house. We have lots and lots of books around. We have TV, but really no one ever watches it.

Alan Rickman

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

Alan Ball

I am so spoiled. I cannot watch a show where it gets interrupted for ads. I have to TiVo it and skip through the ads, because the culture of advertising is so false and phony that I just... ugh, you know?

David Tennant

How galling to watch someone who looks like you, who basically is you, do all the shagging you didn't get to do.

Julie Gerberding

We are planning for a marathon and not a sprint. We will be collaborating with many people...for many months,

Bill Rodgers

I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results.

Don Kardong

You entered a marathon with hills? You idiot.

Benjamin Levy

I think I'd like to run a marathon someday,

Justin Osmer

We view this as more of a marathon than a sprint.

Paula Radcliffe

In the marathon anything can happen

Neil Peart

To me, drum soloing is like doing a marathon and solving equations at the same time.

Roxane Gay

After the Boston Marathon bombings, people shared grief and outrage on social media.

Terry Semel

This is a marathon run, not a sprint.
