Would Be Quotes

I would be content with any job, however thankless, in any quarter, however remote, if I had the chance of making a corner of the desert blossom and a solitary place glad Picture Quote #1

If I had a box just for wishes and dreams that had never come true, the box would be empty, except for the memory of how they were answered by you Picture Quote #1

My father was a really funny guy. He lived a good long life. And he was the reason I wanted to be funny and become a comedian and a comedy writer, so to say that he’s somewhat of a mythic figure in my life would be an understatement Picture Quote #1

It would be a miracle, for example, if I dropped a stone and it rose upwards. But is it no miracle that it falls to the ground? Picture Quote #1

Democracy, if it meant what our forefathers said, that would be great, but unfortunately it’s been corrupted by this funding and funding of campaigns. There’s a much better way to do it. There could be a small amount of money given by every taxpayer to be dedicated to candidates Picture Quote #1

While I was writing I assumed it would be published under a pseudonym, and that liberated me: what I wrote was exactly what I wanted to read Picture Quote #1

The only true solution would be a convention under which all the governments would bind themselves to defend collectively any country that was attacked Picture Quote #1

Lots of people fantasize about what it would be like if they were president... Most think they’d be decent and wouldn’t be corrupted at all, that they’d remain true to themselves Picture Quote #1

I have no idea what my persona would be. As far as I’m concerned, I’m changing all the time Picture Quote #1

The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written Picture Quote #1

Personally, I don’t see old economics and behavioural economics as opposed. It is useful to assume people are rational as a good approximation to their long term behaviour, but it would be unwise not to think how in practice their behaviour may deviate from that simplifying assumption Picture Quote #1

People, in whatever walk of life, would be surprised if they just gave themselves a chance by believing in what they are Picture Quote #1

Til 1983, I wrote primarily for other psychologists and expected that they would be the principal audience for my book Picture Quote #1

If we were to abandon concern for what is true, what is false, and what remains indeterminate, the world would be totally chaotic. Even those who deny the importance of truth, on the one hand, are quick to jump on anyone who is caught lying Picture Quote #1

My mom is an actress, but she never really pushed me into it, and it was never something I thought I would be doing. She was very happy I decided to, but she certainly doesn’t offer me criticism because she knows I’d tell her to shut up! Nobody wants to hear that from their mum! Picture Quote #1

If you are going to make companies, corporations, actually responsible for the safety of other people’s lives, then if they fail in their duty, the only thing to prevent them failing in their duty is the fear that they would be put behind bars Picture Quote #1

I had never thought that I would be involved in narrative structures. As a young guy, I was more interested in abstract modeling. But as I got older, I began to see that there was no reason to limit myself to any intellectual or conceptual postulate, when in fact I’m a professional student of music Picture Quote #1

In today’s politics, it would be good to have politicians who are more upfront about what they felt and actually not trying to bend with every breeze. They’re infuriating, all of them Picture Quote #1

I would be ready to become a dad if I was with the right person. I’d like a boy, though. Because they’re in charge Picture Quote #1

Imaginative empathy is one of the great gifts that humans have, and it means that we can live more than one life. We can picture what it would be like from another perspective Picture Quote #1

If actors could actually make a living doing theater, that would be my first choice. Sitcoms are the closest thing to being onstage in front of an audience Picture Quote #1

If acting doesn’t work out, I plan to do food photography and just eat my way through the entire world. I’m a big foodie, and if I could make some career out of it, that would be fantastic Picture Quote #1

I was in theater when I was in elementary, middle school and high school. I didn’t know it would be an actual profession for me. I didn’t think of it as a reality Picture Quote #1

I understand why people might be interested. But I just don’t talk about my personal life. It’s a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life Picture Quote #1

To answer the question, though: I didn’t always want to direct. I just liked the idea of it. If a friend was making a short and needed someone who knew screen direction, I would jump in. It would be horrible, but it led to a short, then another, and another. It was like student films Picture Quote #1

In the old days, a con man would be good looking, suave, well dressed, well spoken and presented themselves real well. Those days are gone because it’s not necessary. The people committing these crimes are doing them from hundreds of miles away Picture Quote #1

When I started performing, I decided that if in five years I couldn’t earn as much money acting as I could as a teacher, it would be unrealistic for me to continue on the stage Picture Quote #1

For me, the most exciting thing is to create good magic that’s entertaining for an audience, and it would be lovely if a magician was fooled as well Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it would be a good idea for scientists to have more political power. Scientists as a group are more inclined to try to derive an ought from an is, than the population at large Picture Quote #1

I think it would be a shame for any writer to let their publishers in any way corral them into a single genre Picture Quote #1
