1856 quotes

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

Quote by Jane Austen about proudness, vanity, opinion, word, people, being, things

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

Everybody has a heart. Except some people.

Quote by Bette Davis about heart, people

I didn't want to go to places that have been written about so many times by people so much more qualified than I, like James Jones and Norman Mailer who lived through it. I was always searching for my own theater of war.

Quote by Michael Chabon about searching, war, people

I hope it will appeal to people who haven't read the other books or people who thought they wouldn't be interested in them.

Quote by Michael Chabon about haven, books, hope, people, thinking

It's good to have it over with. I worked on it a long time, and I didn't know what people were going to think of it. Would people like it? Would they buy it? So far it's been doing pretty well.

Quote by Michael Chabon about nation, commerce, people, good, good luck, time

My agent lived in New York for over twenty years and like most people who are adopted New Yorkers she's very passionate about the city. Also, she has a particular interest in this period, especially of golden age Hollywood films.

Quote by Michael Chabon about city, interest, age, olderness, people

People keep saying, Oh, you're getting all these great...

People keep saying, "Oh, you're getting all these great reviews, that must make you really happy". I guess it does, but mostly it's just a relief.

The 'Talk of the Town' was really that in the 1940s: it was all about New York, it was only about New York, and it was about people.

Quote by Michael Chabon about city, people

Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.

People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.

Quote by Bette Davis about nation, people

There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.

Quote by Bette Davis about criminals, day, word, old, olderness, truth, good, good luck, people, contentment

I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.

Quote by Agatha Christie about books, writing, worry, people

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see...

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.

Quote by Agatha Christie about love, contentment, thinking, people

The happy people are failures because they are on such...

The happy people are failures because they are on such good terms with themselves they don't give a damn.

Quote by Agatha Christie about happiness, good, good luck, people

Very few of us are what we seem.

Very few of us are what we seem.

Quote by Agatha Christie about people

People want you to satisfy every possible dream or expectation they would have for a woman president... We still live at a time when a female president is controversial - even though it seems so bizarre that we've made it to the 21st century...

Quote by Geena Davis about expectation, dream, woman, talent, time, people, contentment

We're making this as entertainment. But God willing, if this show stays on and people see a woman in that office for a while, I think it will help people become more used to it. It's certainly about time that we had a few female presidents.

Quote by Geena Davis about help, people, woman, god, time

Acting is also working with people who invite you into their dreams and trust you with their innermost being.

Quote by Catherine Deneuve about dream, being, contentment, people
