Text Quotes
Death metal uses a lot of white face paint and black hair dye to make its point. I quite enjoy this genre for its intensity, extremism and underlying irony: You have to be alive to play it and listen to it.  (Irony Quotes) Even the notion that, you know,[Bill] Clinton was the black president strikes me as the greatest irony of all times.  (Irony Quotes) Of course the 19th century remained in blissful ignorance of post-modern irony, and the dime novels were made without end.  (Irony Quotes) When readers don’t like the book, it’s usually because they feel that romantic love is pass or somehow needs more irony.  (Irony Quotes) We all want to be special, to stand out; there’s nothing wrong with this. The irony is that every human being is special to start with, because we’re unique to start with. But we then go through some sort of boot camp from the age of zero to about 18 where we learn everything we can about how not to be unique.  (Irony Quotes) The British Airways steward announced that the in-flight movie would be Chariots of Fire. ‘Is that the only one?’ I asked. ‘We are also showing Gandhi,’ he replied. ‘Where do I have to sit to see it? I responded. ‘I’m sorry, sir, but Gandhi is only showing in first class.’ The irony seemed to escape him.  (Irony Quotes) It is hard to miss the irony in the fact that the very same week that Republicans were publicly heralding Congressman Paul Ryan’s plan to inject market forces into the American health care system, they were crafting a budget deal to strip them from the health reform law.  (Irony Quotes) I really think [the Bush Administration]’s foreign policy agenda is to spread irony through the world.  (Irony Quotes) He looks at you like you’re someone he’s never met before, much less someone he once loved with high passion. The irony is, you can hardly blame him. I mean, check yourself out. You’re a pathetic mess, unrecognizable even to your own eyes.  (Irony Quotes) I am aware it’s easy and may be fashionable to pose with a slum child, and the irony of getting the media along means that it can come across as disingenuous. But you take these things on board, and you hope you mean it whenever you get stuck into something.  (Irony Quotes) You know, there’s a real irony in U.S. assistance programs. First of all, I think it’s misnamed. We’re not so much trying to help people as we’re trying to help ourselves. So let’s be clear about this. So these are - in my view, they’re cold calculations of national security and not aid programs.  (Irony Quotes) As I write, I control my anxiety and anguish thanks to the invaluable aid of irony and humor. But every night I am subdued by an anxiety that knows no irony, and I must wait until the next day to rediscover the blend of anguish and humor that characterizes my writing and that generates my style.  (Irony Quotes) The mystery of life--its inexplicability, beauty, cruelty, tenderness, folly . . . has occupied the greater part of my waking thoughts; and in reverence or rage or irony, as the moment or situation might dictate, I have pondered and even demanded of cosmic energy to know Why.  (Irony Quotes) The boys in the office preferred Daft Punk and the song Robot Rock as an anthem, speaking excitedly and without irony about wanting to become robots one day. That made me wonder: Why? What’s the pull of being a robot?  (Irony Quotes) England and Denmark have a sense of irony and a darker sense of humour that you don’t necessarily find in Germany and Sweden.  (Irony Quotes) I still see the world as a place of bitter irony and black humour, failed hopes, dashed plans. I hope to make my work sparer, to outgrow my desire to show off.  (Irony Quotes) David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late 60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era’s sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song ‘Changes’ announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.  (Irony Quotes) Luckily, even as a young man not yet become himself, John Bridgens had two things besides indecision that kept him from self-destruction - books and a sense of irony.  (Irony Quotes) One great irony about ignorance it that one may do wrong things greatly and great things wrongly; knowingly or unknowingly  (Irony Quotes) It makes me sad, the way human beings talk smack. It’s why I don’t like irony. People are too gleeful to put some teeth into something.  (Irony Quotes) My dad moved to London in his early 20s and didn’t really go back. So the irony is I’ve spent lots and lots of time in Ireland, but not with my dad. I’ve shot films in Belfast, where he’s from. And I’ve shot in Dun Laoghaire. Which is great. And I’ve shot in Dublin.  (Irony Quotes) The Internet has destroyed irony in the world, or at least wounded it considerably. What are we to do about an invention whose end result is that starving people in China are looking up things on marthastewart.com?  (Irony Quotes) The show is not a history lesson or intellectual exploration. It is entertainment based on tension, irony and storytelling that is closely related to today’s life.  (Irony Quotes) A king who is renowned for mercy, said the Arobern, with heavy irony, must also be renowned in equal measure for injustice.  (Irony Quotes) Kenney knows two essential truths about melodrama: First that it is most powerful when combined with irony and understatement; and second that it is a salient feature of modern life.  (Irony Quotes) It’s an astonishing skill that people can read, and read well. Very few people can read well. For instance, I have to be very careful with irony, saying something while meaning the exact opposite.  (Irony Quotes) The great irony of executive compensation is, if you pay your employees more, you’re gonna create more demand for your goods and services! Which is gonna lead to more executive compensation than if you pay your employees less and try to take all the cream off of the top.  (Irony Quotes) A vast percentage of the human race is literally not wired neurologically to get irony. Well more than half of humanity takes life at face value, which is to me terrifying.  (Irony Quotes) Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life’s cruelest irony.  (Irony Quotes) The irony is that the more we fight age, the more it shows. Paint on a 50-year-old face brings to mind a Gilbert and Sullivan comic figure. Smooth the cheeks, and suddenly the ear lobes and hands look out of place. Do we run around in October, painting the gold leaves green?  (Irony Quotes)
