talking addiction people
I'm much more conscious of historical events since the '60s. In the '60s, I was insulated by my own addictions, my own lifestyle, from what was going on in the world. After I recovered I was amazed at certain people who had died. I hadn't noticed that they had gone. Not friends ... I'm talking about public figures who had passed away.
people way ifs
If people behaved in the same way nations do they would all be put in straitjackets.
beautiful giving-up people
Oh you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you
men people looks
Why, man alive, Laura! Just look about you a little. What do you see? A world full of common people! All of 'em born and all of em' going to die! Which of them has one-tenth of your good points! Or mine! Or anyone else's, as far as that goes - gosh! Everybody excels in some one thing. Some in many!
people genius pockets
Since that day, when people have spoken to me of "genius", I have felt the inside pocket to make sure my wallet's still there.
moving people menagerie
People go to the movies instead of moving.
confidence fake-people wine
Most of the confidence which I appear to feel, especially when influenced by noon wine, is only a pretense.
thinking two people
Don't you think there is always something unspoken between two people?
regret thinking people
If I am no longer disturbed myself, I will deal less with disturbed people, but I don't regret having concerned myself with them because I think most of us are disturbed.
heart mean people
We are all civilized people, wich means that we are all savages at heart but observing a few amenities of civilized behaviour.
people damn hard
Why is it so damn hard for people to talk?
giving people magic
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth. And it that's sinful, then let me be damned for it!
heart people littles
There are no 'good' or 'bad' people. Some are a little better or a little worse, but all are activated more by misunderstanding than malice. A blindness to what is going on in each other's hearts...
thinking people looks
People are not so dreadful when you know them. That's what you have to remember! And everybody has problems, not just you, but practically everybody has got some problems. You think of yourself as having the only problems, as being the only one who is disappointed. But just look around you and you will see lots of people as disappointed as you are.
