Text Quotes
Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it  (Trying Quotes) I want women - and men - to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish  (Trying Quotes) I just I felt like a freak, I guess what I'm trying to say is I want to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can create their own space in the world  (Trying Quotes) Listening and trying to understand the needs of those we would communicate with seems to me to be the essential prerequisite of any real communication. And we might as well aim for real communication  (Trying Quotes) I complain a lot. That's one way of coping. But I'm in a profession where nobody tells you to quit. No board of other partners tells you it's time to get your gold watch, and no physical claim is made on you like an athlete or an actress. So I try to plug along on the theory that I can still do it. I still keep trying to produce prose, and some poetry, in the hope that I can find something to say about being alive, this country, but generally the human condition  (Trying Quotes) Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people  (Trying Quotes) The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us  (Trying Quotes) Why is this such a well-kept secret? The core issue is that we don't believe we're still spiritually "bankrupt. " Having come into God's kingdom by grace alone solely on the merit of Another, we're now trying to pay our own way by our performance. We declared only temporary bankruptcy; we're now trying to live by good works rather than by grace  (Trying Quotes) Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success  (Trying Quotes) Most of us probably entertain either of these attitudes on different days. On a good day (as we perceive it), we tend toward self-righteous Pharisaism. On a not-so-good day, we allow ourselves to wallow in a sense of failure and guilt. Either way we've moved away from the gospel of God's grace, trying to relate to God directly on the basis of our performance rather than through Christ  (Trying Quotes) To not study the history of photography when you're trying to be a photographer is crazy  (Trying Quotes) Pornography is rather like trying to find out about a Beethoven symphony by having somebody tell you about it and perhaps hum a few bars  (Trying Quotes) I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort  (Trying Quotes) I think we should see whether we are wise trying to educate everybody to a high standard the way we are trying to do now. There has to be a high level of education so everybody is literate, but whether university education is necessary for everyone is open to question  (Trying Quotes) By this time I had discovered that all the gamey bits were cut out of the school texts, because I had a Shakespeare of my own; the Ontario Department of Education was hard at its impossible task of trying to educate the masses without in any permanent way inflaming their minds  (Trying Quotes) When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend  (Trying Quotes) Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own  (Trying Quotes) All the mistakes I make arise from forsaking my own station and trying to see the object from another person's point of view  (Trying Quotes) But I love the idea - whether it's in my work or where I live - exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere  (Trying Quotes) I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed  (Trying Quotes) On 'don't ask, don't tell' I was always the same. I said we needed a complete review of the impact on morale and battle effectiveness of 'don't ask, don't tell' before we repeal it. That's my position now. Now they're trying to ram through a repeal without a - any kind of really realistic survey done  (Trying Quotes) Certainly after Titanic, where my face was put on every magazine cover around the world and the movie was such a phenomenon, I really had no control over that. So for the last couple of years, media-wise I've been trying to regain some control in what people say about me  (Trying Quotes) Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he's only trying on one face after another till he finds his own  (Trying Quotes) Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting - in the trying, not the triumph, success is a personal standard - reaching for the highest that is in us - becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have  (Trying Quotes) When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman  (Trying Quotes) As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody  (Trying Quotes) Courage and willingness to just go for it, whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality  (Trying Quotes) Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust, the fact of your next dusting has already been established  (Trying Quotes) Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place  (Trying Quotes) None of our men are experts. We have most unfortunately found it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the expert state of mind a great number of things become impossible  (Trying Quotes)
