Barely Quotes

Changing the way we talk is not political correctness run amok. It reflects an admirable willingness to acknowledge others who once were barely visible to the dominant culture, and to recognize that something that may seem innocent to you may be painful to others Picture Quote #1

Yes, this is what I thought adulthood would be, a kind of long indian summer, a state of tranquility, of calm incuriousness, with nothing left of the barely bearable raw immediacy of childhood, all the things solved that had puzzled me when I was small, all mysteries settled, all questions answered, and the moments dripping away, unnoticed almost, drip by golden drip, toward the final, almost unnoticed, quietus Picture Quote #1

My grandmother spent her whole life working as a maid, a cook and a babysitter, barely scraping by, but still working hard to give my mother, her only child, a chance in life, so that my mother could give my brother and me an even better one Picture Quote #1

Depressed people cannot lead a revolution because depressed people can barely manage to get out of bed and put on their shoes and socks Picture Quote #1

The year I began to say vahz instead of vase, a man I barely knew nearly accidentally killed me Picture Quote #1

Opportunity lives at the intersection of what people need tomorrow and can be just barely built today Picture Quote #1

He couldn’t put on a coaching session to save his life. I’ve spoken to people about him and he can barely lay out cones Picture Quote #1

Any man who barely sustains an armistice with himself has no business poking around in an alien soul Picture Quote #1

Like some cult religion that barely survives, there has always been at least one but rarely more than five or six devotees throwing the knuckleball in the big leagues... Not only can’t pitchers control it, hitters can’t hit it, catchers can’t catch it, coaches can’t coach it and most pitchers can’t learn it. The perfect pitch Picture Quote #1

It is slightly chilling to realize there are rational, functional people up there employed to spot, nurture, and exploit those down here among us who are irrational and can barely cope. If you want to know how stupid you’re perceived to be by the people up there, count the unsolicited junk mail you receive. If you get a lot, you’re perceived to be alluringly stupid Picture Quote #1

I think I matured quite early, but what that does mean is I have moments of complete immaturity. When I come home, I don’t want to be an actor. I just want to be a kid. I barely even know what money is Picture Quote #1

In the age of networked everything, life moves sideways and covers lots of ground while barely touching the earth Picture Quote #1

Being the inventor of sex would seem to be a sufficient distinction for a creature just barely large enough to be seen by the naked eye Picture Quote #1

Naked in front of strangers? I can barely be naked in front of my lovers; in front of myself Picture Quote #1

I find life itself provides ample and sufficient tests of my valor and mettle: illness; betrayal; fruitless searches for love; working for the abusive, the insane, and the despotic. All challenges easily as thrilling to me as scrambling over icy rock in a pair of barely adequate boots Picture Quote #1

I was barely in grade school when I helped my mother rearrange the living room furniture for the first time Picture Quote #1

Hakomi is a path taken by those who work to go beyond the half remembered hurts and failed beliefs that linger unexamined in the mind and body, hurts that act through barely conscious habits and reactions. This work is a part of that heroic labor, a cousin to sitting meditation, to singing bowls and chanting monks Picture Quote #1

If I waited to be in the mood to write, I’d barely have a chapbook of material to my name. Who would ever be in the mood to write? Do marathon runners get in the mood to run? Do teachers wake up with the urge to lecture? I don’t know, but I doubt it. My guess is that it’s the very act that is generative. The doing of the thing that makes possible the desire for it Picture Quote #1

She barely understands her dreams of belly button rings and other kind of things. Symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange, it that the changes occur, and now she’s just a part of the herd Picture Quote #1

The hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to do to tell you, the woman I love, that I’m having a baby by a woman that I barely know Picture Quote #1

Now the old boy may be barely breathing, but the heart of rock and roll is still beating Picture Quote #1

I barely knew I wanted to be an artist. I liked my art classes and painting was fun, I guess, but I didn’t realize that seeing the country was going to inspire me to further explore that... but that’s what it did Picture Quote #1

I’m not the cool thing, and I’m not going to be the cool thing for a really long time, and it isn’t like I’m not the cool thing and I sell 3,000,000 records every time. I’m not the cool thing, and I barely sell 150,000 records, if that, ever. So I’m obviously working really hard to sustain myself. I’m actually a target to be dropped, because that’s just not enough records for a big company Picture Quote #1

The corollary of constant change is ignorance. This is not often talked about: we computer experts barely know what we’re doing. We’re good at fussing and figuring out. We function well in a sea of unknowns. Our experience has only prepared us to deal with confusion. A programmer who denies this is probably lying, or else is densely unaware of himself Picture Quote #1

I barely noticed loneliness anymore; it was my normal condition, by necessity if not by nature Picture Quote #1

I have always used the burqa because men are using the burqa in the name of culture and religion to take freedom from women. Women are alive, they have their own wishes and desires, but all the time they have to sacrifice that. They are a kind of skeleton, which doesn’t have muscles. They’re just breathing, like a kind of puppet that barely exists. If women spoke for their rights, they were beaten by their husbands. So they don’t have a voice. They lose their voices and their wishes and their happiness Picture Quote #1

The rich would do better with a smaller share of a rapidly growing economy then they’re doing now with a large share of an economy that is barely growing at all Picture Quote #1

It is generally recognized that creativity requires leisure, an absence of rush, time for the mind and imagination to float and wander and roam, time for the individual to descend into the depths of his or her psyche, to be available to barely audible signals rustling for attention. Long periods of time may pass in which nothing seems to be happening. But we know that kind of space must be created if the mind is to leap out of its accustomed ruts, to part from the mechanical, the known, the familiar, the standard, and generate a leap into the new Picture Quote #1

Being a writer is a rather hazardous occupation and there is a horribly high rate of writers who barely have the money for the paper and pen they use for their craft Picture Quote #1

I am a famous artist. I make millions. But I frequently see debut shows of unknown artists with prices that are double of mine... what they’re really doing is barely getting by and helping me sell 1,000 paintings a year effortlessly, because they make my paintings look like such a bargain. Thank you to all the egotistical art students! Picture Quote #1
