Text Quotes
When a filmmaker does not make films, it is as if he is jailed. Even when he is freed from the small jail, he finds himself wandering in a larger jail. The main question is: why should it be a crime to make a movie? A finished film, well, it can get banned but not the director  (The Small Quotes) When you are totally defeated you begin again to enjoy the small things around you. Just going to the mountains, not for victory or glory, but to enjoy nature or enjoy fine people. If you always succeed you enjoy the admiration of many people. Being defeated means being limited to the basis existential choices of life. If you can enjoy the quiet evening hours it is beautiful; a hero who always succeeds may not have time to enjoy such things  (The Small Quotes) Through the opened heart, the world comes rushing in, the way oceans fill the smallest hole along the shore. It is the quietest sort of miracle: by simply being who we are, the world will come to fill us, to cleanse us, to baptize us, again and again  (The Small Quotes) When it seems that someone has shattered your dreams... pick up even the smallest of pieces and use them to build bigger and better dreams  (The Small Quotes) Lowly, unpurposeful, and random as they appear, sidewalk contacts are the small change from which a city’s wealth of public life must grow  (The Small Quotes) I found fame to be somewhat of a prison. The more famous you were, the smaller the cell that you had to live in  (The Small Quotes) The best comics editors have the smallest egos. The worst ones feel like they have to justify their salaries by making changes just so they can leave their fingerprints. Every creative medium has those guys, and they’re all loathsome  (The Small Quotes) The faults and shortcomings we see in the members of our own ward or branch are of less consequence to us than one of the smallest in ourselves  (The Small Quotes) In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding  (The Small Quotes) ... the smaller the domain where choices among alternatives are made collectively, the smaller will be the probability that any individual’s preference gets overruled  (The Small Quotes) Standing on the bridge, looking across at that empty city, everything in the compass of my gaze had been set there by a human hand. Somehow those pylons had been strung with wire, and those towers raised, and roofs tiled. There had been food and drink for millions of mouths. I don’t cry easy, but my vision blurred as I stared on the ruins of what we had been, and I watched the small band of men in rags move toward it to pick at it like birds on the carcass of some giant  (The Small Quotes) This part of optics, when well understood, shows us how we may make things a very long distance off appear as if placed very close, and large near things appear very small, and how we may make small things placed at a distance appear any size we want, so that it may be possible for us to read the smallest letters at incredible distances, or to count sand, or seed, or any sort or minute objects  (The Small Quotes) International business, once allowed to stalk uncontrolled, killed the local, the small, the quirky  (The Small Quotes) It was any outcast’s nightmare. If I looked carefully, I suspected I might find it beneath the black paint of the small acrylic by the window  (The Small Quotes) Every small business will give you an entrepreneurial way of looking at things. I guarantee you that for every plant that closes, if you gave it to one small businessperson in that community, he or she would find a way to make it work. The small business attitude is you always find a way to make it work  (The Small Quotes) To get rich, one must have but a single idea, one fixed, hard, immutable thought: the desire to make a heap of gold. And in order to increase this heap of gold, one must be inflexible, a usurer, thief, extortionist, and murderer! And one must especially mistreat the small and the weak! And when this mountain of gold has been amassed, one can climb up on it, and from up on the summit, a smile on one’s lips, one can contemplate the valley of poor wretches that one has created  (The Small Quotes) A man’s motive in the small actions of daily life, like resting a moment on his pitchfork in the sun and listening intently, may be the most important thing about that man  (The Small Quotes) A manure containing several ingredients acts in this wise: The effect of all of them in the soil accommodates itself to that one among them which, in comparison to the wants of the plant, is present in the smallest quantity  (The Small Quotes) The most powerful way to change the world is to secretly commit little acts of compassion. You must behave as if your every act, even the smallest, impacted a thousand people for a hundred generations. Because it does  (The Small Quotes) It’s getting too late in my life to care about the small things. It’s getting too late to not be brave, to not live my life fully, to not try to be an artist. Trivial things like how nice your hotel room is, or if you have to be naked for a while, they fade away  (The Small Quotes) I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard. I believe that someone in that great somewhere hears every word  (The Small Quotes) The best standardisation committee in the world is nature herself, but in nature standardisation occurs mainly in connection with the smallest possible units: cells. The result is millions of flexible combinations in which one never encounters the stereotyped  (The Small Quotes) What is fashion? It’s discipline. Discipline and a credo to do only the best, down to the smallest detail  (The Small Quotes) In swimming at my level it’s about control of the small movements. A good ballet dancer floats across the stage, the best sprinters virtually abolish gravity. All motion occurs in the right direction  (The Small Quotes) I’ve done every kind of touring known to mankind. I’ve played the big and the small places  (The Small Quotes) We applaud the people who are film stars, who get elected to an office, who are very athletic, the small group who play with power in a very limited way. But we’re completely oblivious to what can be done to the infinite realities that exist in front of us. We deny them  (The Small Quotes) Is there anything more useless than a crouton? I sometimes wake up in the small hours with a start and realise that what’s roused me is an overpowering urge to visit violence on its originator  (The Small Quotes) The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be. The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be  (The Small Quotes) It’s quite different, the kind of love you get in a smaller club and the kind of love you get on a big proscenium stage. It’s quite different. I like both of them, but I’m in love with the smaller, intimate club  (The Small Quotes) The smallest bird cannot light upon the greatest tree without sending a shock to its most distant fiber  (The Small Quotes)
