Charles Quotes

Throughout my teenage years, I read ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens every December. It was a story that never failed to excite me, for as well as being a Dickens enthusiast, I have always loved ghost stories Picture Quote #1

When you work with Ray Charles, Billy Eckstine and Frank Sinatra, and you tell them to jump without a net, you better know what you’re talking about. Thank God I was ready for it Picture Quote #1

I love Ray Charles. He can still teach everybody a lot about how to make great music. Not necessarily how to make hits, but how to make great music. Of course, part of it is his incredible talent. Who are the greatest jazz singers in the world? Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Ray Charles Picture Quote #1

I first became aware of Charles Darwin and evolution while still a schoolboy growing up in Chicago. My father and I had a passion for bird-watching, and when the snow or the rain kept me indoors, I read his bird books and learned about evolution Picture Quote #1

I am Charles Mingus. Half-black man. Yellow man. Half-yellow. Not even yellow, nor white enough to pass for nothing but black and not too light enough to be called white Picture Quote #1

The emotions triggered by fiction are very real. When Charles Dickens wrote about the death of Little Nell in the 1840s, people wept - and I’m sure that the death of characters in J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series led to similar tears Picture Quote #1

I don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with Charles Chaplin Picture Quote #1

As is the case with all original creators, Charles Chaplin’s working life was an amalgam of arrogant self-confidence and deflating self-doubt Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know children were expected to have literary heroes, but I certainly had one, and I even identified with him at one time: Doctor Dolittle, whom I now half identify with the Charles Darwin of Beagle days Picture Quote #1

It would be impossible for me to say when the idea of becoming an owner first came to me. Probably it was a gradual process. The first time the matter was brought to my attention in a concrete form, however, was when Charles Murphy was selling out his controlling interest in the Chicago Cubs Picture Quote #1

I want the ‘Roots’ biopic to be animated - I see Charles Schulz drawing us. I think it would be more hilarious with the voices of children Picture Quote #1

Joker’ was a violent, dark, and brutal book, so I wanted to do something a little less heavy. I played around with the idea of a children’s book, and that eventually became ‘Noel.’ And I just kept finding these parallels between things I could do with Batman and Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol.’ Picture Quote #1

America owed its military renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s to Vietnam. Veterans like Norman Schwartzkopf, Colin Powell, Alfred Grey, Charles Krulak, and Wesley Clark returned home angry and ashamed at their defeat and rebuilt all-volunteer, professional armed forces from the ground up Picture Quote #1

Charles Schultz is a really interesting case. He wrote that comic strip and drew it himself from beginning to end, and it’s a work of genius. It’s very simply drawn, but it has some really deep emotions that you don’t expect in a silly-looking comic strip Picture Quote #1

Guys like me and Ray Charles, when we was coming up through our days, country music and soul music was just a very thin line between the two Picture Quote #1

In 1994, to motivate me to complete my pilot’s license, my good friend, Gregg Maryniak, gave me Charles Lindbergh’s autobiography of his solo flight across the Atlantic Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying that people have to listen to rock music. It’s a great, cool thing and it can really be liberating for a lot of people but, hey, so can Charles Dickens so I’m not going to judge Picture Quote #1

For some time, Scotland’s greatest exports to England have included whisky and Scottish MPs. Or, in the case of Charles Kennedy, both. All these links, politically, economically, culturally, are part of my Union. Would Glasgow’s brilliant Commonwealth Games or the Edinburgh Festival be any better for our being independent? I doubt it Picture Quote #1

I’d love to work with Lena Headey, Alfie Allen, Charles Dance. I’d love to work with Peter Dinklage Picture Quote #1

Today Charles Darwin is best known for establishing the fact of evolution and for recognizing the major role of natural selection in driving it Picture Quote #1

I wanted to look at how people deal with death ... Why is Henry Kissinger not in jail and Charles Manson is? Picture Quote #1

Quincy Jones’ autobiography ‘Q’ is very good. Because he’s a master at music, he’s one of our greatest composers, and its good for him to have a book and tell the good ole days when he was with Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan and Ray Charles Picture Quote #1

At the school I attended, the clergyman who ran the cathedral school in Shanghai would give lines to the boys as a punishment. They expected you to copy out, say, 20 or 30 pages from one of the school texts. But I found that rather than laboriously copying out something from a novel by Charles Dickens, it was easier if I made it up myself Picture Quote #1

Hocus was an old cunning attorney. The words of consecration, Hoc est corpus, were travestied into a nickname for jugglery, as Hocus-pocus. - John Richard Green, A Short History of the English People, 1874. see Charles Macklin Picture Quote #1

Charles Darwin and I and you broke off from the family tree from chimpanzees about five million years ago. They’re still our closest genetic kin. We share 98.8 percent of the genes. We share more genes with them than zebras do with horses. And we’re also their closest cousin. They have more genetic relation to us than to gorillas Picture Quote #1

I have an image of what a British gentleman looks like, and that image finds real expression in Prince Charles. He is beyond fashion - he is an archetype of style Picture Quote #1
