My Own Quotes

Around me the moonlight glittered on the pebbles of the llano, and in the night sky a million stars sparkled. Across the river I could see the twinkling lights of the town. In a week I would be returning to school, and as always I would be running up the goat path and crossing the bridge to go to church. Sometime in the future I would have to build my own dream out of those things that were so much a part of my childhood Picture Quote #1

To me, an outlaw is a man that did things his own way, whether you liked him or not. I did things my own way Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to keep my own house from burning down. I can’t worry about someone else’s house Picture Quote #1

Is it a coincidence that stories from the private life became more popular just as the grand hope for public redemption through revolution was beginning to sour? I witnessed a similar shift in taste in my own time. In the 1960s, while a hopeful vision of a just society arose again, countless poems and plays concerning politics and public life were written, read, and performed. But after the hope diminished and public life seemed less and less trustworthy, this subject was less in style Picture Quote #1

It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn Picture Quote #1

I learned basic cookery from my mom, taught myself cake techniques and then got fed up with my own cakes not looking as good as the ones in the shops Picture Quote #1

Today I detach from other people’s dramas. I love them and pray for them. I am a role model of peace for them. But I no longer rescue them, or put my own needs last. It is my right to be happy and to help others as I feel lovingly guided instead from guilt or obligation. I respect my feelings and expect others to do so too. And so it is! Picture Quote #1

I’ve walked these streets, in a carnival of sights to see. All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors and the dealers, they crowded around me. Have I been blind? Have I been lost, inside myself and my own mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen? I’ve walked these streets, in a spectacle of wealth and poverty. In the diamond market, the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me Picture Quote #1

All I hear is my own grating thoughts. Is there anything more horrid than being trapped inside yourself with nothing but your own insecurities Picture Quote #1

I must live in my own excrement, breathe in my own poisonous sticky fumes. Yet I am a human being! I still am. Does no one think of that? Picture Quote #1

I would make far more money if every song were my own, but I don’t write to fill up the album with my songs Picture Quote #1

I think I was righteous. I saw myself as the good guy in my own movie. I didn’t get into many fights when I was younger, but when I did, they were righteous. I always thought I was defending something good. I fought for friends who couldn’t fight for themselves. I was still being selfish and arrogant, but I was focused on what was fair and unfair Picture Quote #1

I was so focused at 21, maybe to my own detriment because I didn’t allow myself to have fun. I was constantly looking for the next audition and working to pay the bills Picture Quote #1

It was then and there I created my own very first breakup rule. Destroy all pictures where he looks sexy and you look happy Picture Quote #1

I did not see any way that I could possibly give birth to someone else and also give birth to myself. Far from feeling guilty, it was the first time that I had taken responsibility for my own life Picture Quote #1

You’ll understand, I’m sure that I’m chasing the merest sliver of color. It’s my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It’s terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most Picture Quote #1

I deal with painting as I deal with things, I paint a window just as I look out of a window. If an open window looks wrong in a picture, I draw the curtain and shut it, just as I would in my own room. In painting, as in life, you must act directly Picture Quote #1

I think the best vacation is the one that relieves me of my own life for a while and then makes me long for it again Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been brought up to stand on my own two feet and not rely too heavily on everyone else around me Picture Quote #1

It was not cool to be that fun, bubbly kid, so I would just go off on my own and sing and make up songs, and that’s how I think I developed into the kind of artist and writer that I am Picture Quote #1

My mom has never been a big meddler and isn’t like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn’t voice it to me. She’s sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that’s just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us Picture Quote #1

My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky Picture Quote #1

It was not until I had graduated from college that I made a professional commitment to it. Frankly, I didn’t think it wise. I was my own interior parental force, and it’s very difficult to justify a profession as a dancer Picture Quote #1

My own opinion is enough for me, and I claim the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anywhere, any place, any time. And anyone who disagrees with this can pick a number, get in line, and kiss my ass Picture Quote #1

I gladly, I voluntarily gave up the kind of commercial film career I had going as soon as I had enough money to finance my own films Picture Quote #1

My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection Picture Quote #1

Often I find that poems predict what I’m going to do later in my own writing, and often I find that poems predict my life. So I think poetry is the most intense expression of feeling that we have Picture Quote #1

I live my own life and nurse my own wounds. It’s not the best way to live. But it’s the way I am Picture Quote #1

I was not designed to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest Picture Quote #1

I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane Picture Quote #1
