Becoming Quotes

Prison is a crash course in the darker side of life. Few survive it without becoming a different person: more cynical, jaded, fearful, angry.

Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow Picture Quote #1

We who advocate peace are becoming an irrelevance when we speak peace. The government speaks rubber bullets, live bullets, tear gas, police dogs, detention, and death Picture Quote #1

My parents had a difficult divorce. My dad had to take a backseat for a few years, and my grandfather came in. He was also my inspiration for becoming an actor. I really respected him Picture Quote #1

Fundamentalists believe Jesus was God becoming man. I believe that Jesus was man becoming God Picture Quote #1

Becoming a father turned me into an emotional sissy crybaby. I can’t even watch a snuff movie nowadays without feeling sad Picture Quote #1

Part of living, part of becoming a wise man or a wise woman, is to get to that point where you can have a friend for whom you are genuinely happy when he or she has a success. That’s tough. Very few people get to that point. With writers it’s next to impossible. You can’t really bless a writer who’s as good as yourself Picture Quote #1

I had a blog where I tried to be transparent while giving away nothing. I tweeted and Facebooked badly. As a writer, your ‘voice’ is your calling card, yet my voice was becoming indistinguishable from billions of other voices Picture Quote #1

In becoming a citizen, one undertakes certain duties and responsibilities. One of the more intangible of those duties and responsibilities is no matter what one’s birth and background, to accept the historical past of the new country as one’s own Picture Quote #1

What I’ve been doing with my misfit, so-called acting career in film from day one on my first film, ‘Spanking The Monkey’, is, I’ve kind of made a concerted effort to hijack my acting career to turn it into film school, because I’ve always had the blasphemous idea of becoming a reasonably competent filmmaker in my own right some day Picture Quote #1

When we involve others in spontaneous acts of kindness, we go from being strangers to becoming a united team connected at the heart level Picture Quote #1

Be happy about your pain because it makes you who you are. After the pain is over the outcome is becoming a stronger person than before Picture Quote #1

We are well on our way to becoming a banana republic in every respect except, of course, that we don’t grow bananas Picture Quote #1

Seven years after becoming a lone parent, I feel qualified to look anyone in the eye and say that people bringing up children single-handedly deserve, not condemnation, but congratulation Picture Quote #1

I have a 14 year old daughter now. You know, it was that time in these kids lives when these girls are becoming women and the hormones are raging. They didn’t know if The Beatles were any good, they just went for it ‘cause The Beatles were attractive Picture Quote #1

I believe that this life is all we have. I don’t believe in anything after this, so I think the choices we make here are so important and the relationships we choose are crucial, especially in that time when we are developing ourselves and we’re becoming adults Picture Quote #1

When your child stops breathing 60 times a night, you don’t worry about what’s going on next year or even next week. You put aside thoughts about which preschool you’re going to enroll him in and focus on how he’s doing right now. It’s not the Norman Rockwell relationship that you sign on for when becoming a parent Picture Quote #1

All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to complain, but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy Picture Quote #1

The three branches of government number considerably more than three and are not, in any sense, ‘branches’ since that would imply that there is something they are all attached to besides self-aggrandizement and our pocketbooks. ... Government is not a machine with parts; it’s an organism. When does an intestine quit being an intestine and start becoming an asshole? Picture Quote #1

We historians are increasingly using experimental psychology to understand the way we act. It is becoming very clear that our ability to evaluate risk is hedged by all sorts of cognitive biases. It’s a miracle that we get anything right Picture Quote #1

Christianity is not about the divine becoming human so much as it is about the human becoming divine. That is a paradigm shift of the first order Picture Quote #1
