Scratch Quotes

I loved the domesticity of my life as a struggling actor. When I wasn’t going to auditions, I could do things like cook dishes from scratch and take them to parties or be really thoughtful about birthdays and anniversaries Picture Quote #1

The worse the country, the more tortured it is by water and wind, the more broken and carved, the more it attracts fossil hunters, who depend on the planet to open itself to us. We can only scratch away at what natural forces have brought to the surface Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to start from scratch to do something interesting. You don’t have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world. You have to have a good idea. You have to convince other people of those good ideas. And you have to push as quickly as possible Picture Quote #1

Scratch the surface in a typical boardroom and we’re all just cavemen with briefcases, hungry for a wise person to tell us stories Picture Quote #1

Scratch the surface of any cynic, and you will find a wounded idealist underneath. Because of previous pain or disappointment, cynics make their conclusions about life before the questions have even been asked. This means that beyond just seeing what is wrong with the world, cynics lack the courage to do something about it. The dynamic beneath cynicism is a fear of accepting responsibility Picture Quote #1

It’s a trifle. It’s got all of these layers. First there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard, which I made from scratch, then raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sauteed with peas and onions, then a little more custard, and then bananas, and then I just put some whipped cream on top! Picture Quote #1

Dogs are born knowing exactly what they want to do: eat, scratch, roll in disgusting stuff, sniff and squabble with other dogs, roam, sleep, have sex. Little of this is what we want them to do, of course. We ask them to sit, stay, smell peasant, practice abstinence, and be accommodating Picture Quote #1

When something is empty, fill it. When something is full, empty it. When you have an itch, scratch it Picture Quote #1

No hint of genuine charity ameliorates our vision of society, once sentimentalism has been laid side. What passes for cooperation turns out to be a mixture of opportunism and exploitation. Scratch an altruist and watch a hypocrite bleed Picture Quote #1

Have you ever started to wave at someone and then realized they weren’t really waving at you, so you abort and go for a head scratch instead? That’s how I felt Picture Quote #1

I’m so drawn to the frontier mentality and that idea of having to figure everything out from scratch Picture Quote #1

Scratch a female inmate, I’ve discovered, and you’ll usually find a girl whose mother had terrible taste in men Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world Picture Quote #1

No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals Picture Quote #1

We like to hunt and golf and drive around lost, and scratch and spit, and a whole lot of other disgusting stuff Picture Quote #1

Many times when you’re a tourist you can just stay on the surface and not really experience the place you’re visiting, which will probably leave you disappointed. Everywhere has something interesting; it’s just about being curious enough to find it and scratch where you have to scratch and stay longer and walk further Picture Quote #1

I had turned down other head chef jobs. I didn’t want to take over someone else’s cuisine. I wanted to start from scratch Picture Quote #1

There is something beyond power. The totality of one’s being. Some call it nirvana. We have a higher destiny. Before you can scratch the surface, you have to bring your life into order Picture Quote #1

It’s misleading to think of writers as special creatures, word sorcerers who possess some sort of magical knowledge hidden from everyone else. Writers are ordinary people who like to write. They feel the urge to write, and they scratch that itch every chance they get Picture Quote #1

My pipe business I created from scratch; my media assets and bank I bought from the secondary market Picture Quote #1

The scientist has to take 95 per cent of his subject on trust. He has to because he can’t possibly do all the experiments, therefore he has to take on trust the experiments all his colleagues and predecessors have done. Whereas a mathematician doesn’t have to take anything on trust. Any theorem that’s proved, he doesn’t believe it, really, until he goes through the proof himself, and therefore he knows his whole subject from scratch. He’s absolutely 100 per cent certain of it. And that gives him an extraordinary conviction of certainty, and an arrogance that scientists don’t have Picture Quote #1

I strongly believe that people may not want, or may not be able, to start again from scratch, so giving old furniture a new lease of life is at the heart of my philosophy Picture Quote #1

Women are cats... and love to scratch even those they’re fond of. Sometimes the more they love them the harder they scratch Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the scene just comes together, and other times, we have to build the scene from scratch, just using different takes Picture Quote #1

It is strange how the elderly fall silent when they ought to go on speaking, obliging the young to learn everything from scratch Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I cheat and buy things I used to make from scratch and just doctor them up Picture Quote #1

I like to see films that come out with lower budgets because you’re forced into using your imagination. You don’t have everything at your fingertips. You have to create it from scratch Picture Quote #1

The process is not simply of constructing a new tonal from scratch, but reordering the one you have Picture Quote #1

When one thing ends, you put it away and start from scratch on the next thing Picture Quote #1

In creating music you are the writer, the director, the producer, you create it from scratch. Obviously in playing a role in a film, you take guidance and put your trust into the director. You come into it and you really trust people Picture Quote #1
