Polished Quotes

Civilization does not engross all the virtues of humanity: she has not even her full share of them. They flourish in greater abundance and attain greater strength among many barbarous people. The hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass any thing of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe Picture Quote #1

I wrote a novel, Ghost Road Rules, and as soon as it was done and polished, I began reaching out to agents. I ignored the frequent advice to ‘shoot low and try for a low-level agent because they’re the only ones that will take a flyer on a new author.’ That sounded like bad advice to me Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be like an actor or a comedian for a little while, because I was always wanting to make people laugh, and being stupid, so I never thought I’d be doing a job where you always have to look nice, and polished and sophisticated Picture Quote #1

When ‘Nevermind’ came out, my roommate had the CD. At first, I actually thought, ‘This is too polished and commercial.’ It was a little off-putting. But then I was like, ‘This is the best music ever.’ It felt so close to what I wanted to do Picture Quote #1

Dark Shadows’ was the spark that lit the fire of my childhood imagination. It wasn’t polished; it wasn’t perfect. But it gave us characters with real personalities and complicated motivations Picture Quote #1

If the rules of a language are followed, words usually make sense. But these very rules can stir the impulse to rebel. We’re obliged to keep trying to convey meaning through correct sentences. After a while, the good-soldier rigidity of polished prose can begin to seem dull, and it gets harder to resist the temptation of nonsense Picture Quote #1

I had set about trying to make myself more polished than a country boy would be Picture Quote #1

When I’m not working, I want to be the version of the person that I was born to be. I was born with curly hair. It fits my personality, and it’s totally who I am. I am rough around the edges, and I am not a polished girl Picture Quote #1

Half the issues they - are so polished they’re talking about - are dead by the time they get into the office, and into the midst of their tour where they’re really productive Picture Quote #1

Dear friend, Your heart is a polished mirror. You must wipe it dean of the veil of dust that has gathered upon it, because it is destined to reflect the light of divine secrets Picture Quote #1

Super polished signage is not always a good sign. I’m always looking for places that you have to know about to find. Also, just food-wise, if I’m eating ethnic cuisine - I hate that phrase, but still - If I’m eating Mexican food, I’m looking to see that there are Mexicans in the restaurant. They know if the food is being made right Picture Quote #1

A diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials. Someone is enjoying shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago Picture Quote #1

I think that kids need to grow up watching what I grew up watching - great entertainment; you know, Judy Garland and all these musicals that bring song and dance and acting all together in a polished way Picture Quote #1

I really don’t like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect Picture Quote #1
