Half An Hour Quotes

I rarely feel the desire to reread a scene the day before the shooting. Sometimes I arrive at the place where the work is to be done and I do not even know what I am going to shoot. This is the system I prefer: to arrive at the moment when shooting is about to begin, absolutely unprepared, virgin. I often ask to be left alone on the spot for fifteen minutes or half an hour and I let my thoughts wander freely Picture Quote #1

A strong player requires only a few minutes of thought to get to the heart of the conflict. You see a solution immediately, and half an hour later merely convince yourself that your intuition has not deceived you Picture Quote #1

If I sleep for more than half an hour, I get horrible dreams in which I’m firing a gun and helicopters are coming down Picture Quote #1

If it’s nice out, I swim pretty much every day for about half an hour. I have a great pool; it’s very private and not too many people use it Picture Quote #1

Why should it happen that among the great many women whom I see and am fond of, suddenly somebody I meet for half an hour opens the door into poetry? Picture Quote #1

If we spent half an hour every day in silent immobility, I am convinced that we should conduct all our affairs, personal, national, and international, far more sanely than we do at present Picture Quote #1

Nature has left every man a capacity of being agreeable, though not of shining in company; and there are a hundred men sufficiently qualified for both who, by a very few faults, that they might correct in half an hour, are not so much as tolerable Picture Quote #1

There is not the least wit in my nature. I am a very matter of fact, plain spoken being, and may blunder on the borders of a repartee for half an hour together without striking it out Picture Quote #1

I’ll bet you anything you like that half an hour after they have met, they will be calling each other sister. Women only do that when they have called each other a lot of other things first Picture Quote #1

It is better to do the smallest thing in the world than to hold half an hour to be too small a thing Picture Quote #1

If you’ve been playing poker for half an hour and you still don’t know who the patsy is, you’re the patsy Picture Quote #1

There is nothing more to be said or to be done tonight, so hand me over my violin and let us try to forget for half an hour the miserable weather and the still more miserable ways of our fellowmen Picture Quote #1

If you can sit in silence with a person for half an hour and yet be entirely comfortable, you and that person can be friends. If you cannot, friends you’ll never be and you need not waste time in trying Picture Quote #1

You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say cubing a number containing four digits. Give me a slate and half an hour’s time, and I can produce a wrong answer Picture Quote #1

The absolute minimum for effective exercise is three times a week on alternate days for at least half an hour Picture Quote #1

Rage and frenzy will pull down more in half an hour than prudence, deliberation, and foresight can build up in a hundred years Picture Quote #1

I’d rather spend half an hour in the company of a top carpenter, than three hours in the company of an average brain surgeon Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter if a cave has been in darkness for 10,000 years or half an hour, once you light a match it is illuminated Picture Quote #1

A stranger is shot in the street, you hardly move to help. But if, half an hour before, you spent just ten minutes with the fellow and knew a little about him and his family, you might just jump in front of his killer and try to stop it. Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know is bad, or amoral, at least. You can’t act if you don’t know Picture Quote #1

The old rule about how a thing of beauty is a joy forever, in my experience, even the most beauteous thing is only a joy for about three hours, tops. After that, she’ll want to tell you all about her childhood traumas. Part of meeting these jail girls is it’s so sweet to look at your watch and know she’ll be behind bars in half an hour Picture Quote #1

It is a very strange sensation to inexperience youth to feel itself quite alone the world, cut adrift from every connection, uncertain whether the port to which it is bound can be reached, and prevented by many impediments from returning to that it has quitted. The charm of adventure sweetens that sensation, the glow of pride warms it; but then the throb of fear disturbs it; and fear with me became predominant when half an hour elapsed, and still I was alone Picture Quote #1

Would a minute have mattered? No, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. Possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. Three minutes, even. You could go to five minutes, perhaps. But that was just it. If you could go for five minutes, then you’d go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours... and not see your son all evening. So that was that. Six o’clock, prompt. Every day Picture Quote #1

It’s tedious to watch something very obvious being worked out, like a movie that’s not particularly good and after about half an hour you know how it’s going to end Picture Quote #1
