Short Quotes

Cameras are dangerous. With no waiting period or background check, any whack-job could just stroll into a Wal-Mart and walk out with a semi-automatic. Now, for years I’ve been pressing for stricter regulations on cameras, especially around our elected officials. Too many political lives have been cut short by some crazed shooter Picture Quote #1

Some people like to keep their grass cut really short, so they can see the intruders coming. Keep those kill zones open. I say let the grass grow tall so they don’t know there’s a house behind it. Some call it lazy, I say it’s thinking Picture Quote #1

For a short period of time, I was like, I have these jokes and if people get them, they get them. And then eventually, I was like, Oh no. It’s absolutely my job to convey to people why what I think is funny, is funny. The whole point of standup is to get the audience to understand your weird point of view Picture Quote #1

My mother was a woman. A black woman. A single mother. Raising two kids on her own. So she was dark skinned. Had short hair. Got no love from nobody except for a group called the Black Panthers. So that’s why she was a Black Panther Picture Quote #1

The South Vietnamese were perhaps a little bit slow in doing things, they jump on, on the problem and they try to do themselves everything. Or, they try to have some short cuts with the, those people they were dealing with Picture Quote #1

Ignore the glass ceiling and do your work. If you’re focusing on the glass ceiling, focusing on what you don’t have, focusing on the limitations, then you will be limited. My way was to work, make my short... make my documentary... make my small films... use my own money... raise money myself... and stay shooting and focused on each project Picture Quote #1

I’ve been part of really big things that are amazing, but I haven’t taken on that responsibility yet. So I don’t want to sell myself short by having a kid and then regret not doing what I set out to do Picture Quote #1

The resistance to my work, and to my way of writing, has been there from the beginning. The first things I wrote were these short short stories collected in At the Bottom of the River, and at least three of them are one sentence long. They were printed in The New Yorker, over the objections of many of the editors in the fiction department Picture Quote #1

I identify as being an independent artist. I think people often forget that Indie is actually short for independent. For me, the word has a meaning more than what it connotes from an industry standpoint Picture Quote #1

I love fiction. I like reading short stories. Cupcakes, pop songs, Polaroids, and short stories. They all raise and answer questions in a short space. I like Lorrie Moore. Amy Hempel. Tim O’Brien. Raymond Carver. All the heartbreakers Picture Quote #1

The idea of feeling old is much more the worry of a slightly younger person. When you are getting old, that becomes - psssh - completely secondary to the absolute understanding of how short your life is Picture Quote #1

Creating things. I love the idea of creation and creativity. Whether it’s a character, a short film, a piece of music, a painting, or a bookcase - to watch something go from an idea to a creation is pretty much where it’s at for me Picture Quote #1

We are a unique ape. We have language. Other animals have systems of communication that fall far short of that. They don’t have the same ability to communicate complicated conditionals and what-ifs and talk about things that are not present Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’d have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I’d love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions Picture Quote #1

I like kindness. Who doesn’t? Life is definitely too short for self-centered, abusive people Picture Quote #1

My type is really young, short, athletic, and smart. I know, you want to be with someone who’s going to be your friend - yeah, yeah, yeah. I want the Adonis line, the two down the hips to the waist. And a guy has to be able to accept criticism about his clothing. I can be very particular about what I like and don’t like Picture Quote #1

Children tease each other because you’re short or you’re tall or you’re a redhead or because you’re ugly or because you’re smart or because you’re dumb or all kinds of differences and as parents we have to deal with that and strengthen our children to be comfortable with themselves and also to show empathy and acceptance towards others Picture Quote #1

A song is such a short form ... that ‘the slightest flaw seems like a mountain.’ And so every song needs to be revised ‘til it’s close to perfection... But achieving perfection takes a lot of energy Picture Quote #1

Keep yourself motivated. You’ve got to be motivated, you’ve got to wake up every day and understand what that day is about; you’ve got to have personal goals - short term goals, intermediate goals, and long term goals. Be flexible in getting to those goals, but if you do not have goals, you will not achieve them Picture Quote #1

Few areas which are not publicly owned can boast as many footpaths as the Cuckmere Valley. For a short walk, a footbridge across the river leads back to the little hamlet of Milton Street, where another classic local pub, the Sussex Ox, provides an admirable lunch Picture Quote #1

Sitcoms are usually given short shrift by the acting profession, but it’s quite an amazing job Picture Quote #1

The actions taken by central banks and other authorities to stabilize a panic in the short run can work against stability in the long run if investors and firms infer from those actions that they will never bear the full consequences of excessive risk-taking Picture Quote #1

Life is too short to waste. Dreams are fulfilled only through action, not through endless planning to take action Picture Quote #1

My advice to graduates is to stay positive. Life is short, and you’ll be dead soon Picture Quote #1

She was a short, bosomy Englishwoman who accosted people at the shelves and asked if they wanted advice on what to read, and if the answer was yes, she asked what writers they already loved and then suggested somebody new Picture Quote #1

Under all the usual rules of interpretation, in short, the Government should lose this case. But normal rules of interpretation seem always to yield to the overriding principle of the present Court: The Affordable Care Act must be saved Picture Quote #1

Don’t be afraid of failure. That’s not an easy lesson for teenagers - especially teenage girls - to learn. Our society sends us a lot of messages that imply we’re supposed to be ashamed when we fall short. But I think we should be throwing each other failure parties! Picture Quote #1

Even though it is the case that poverty is linked to AIDS, in the sense that Africa is poor and they have a lot of AIDS, it’s not necessarily the case that improving poverty - at least in the short run, that improving exports and improving development - it’s not necessarily the case that that’s going to lead to a decline in HIV prevalence Picture Quote #1

The fake republics are goners; the monarchies have a fighting chance. That’s my conclusion after a short visit to the Middle East and discussions with officials and analysts there Picture Quote #1
