Alfred E. Smith Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork - reading, writing, thinking - can. Helen Gurley Brown Before I got through high school I had attended 22 different schools. In the time before I was well acquainted with the latest school, I would amuse myself by drawing and found that I was pretty good at it. Marc Davis Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live. Gustave Flaubert Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible. Robert M. Hutchins Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuse himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels. Henry B. Adams I not only played and sang blues, but I also had to toss the piano around a bit to amuse the patrons. Hope Emerson I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair. Hillary Clinton If ever I want to amuse myself with an idiot, I have not far to look for one. I laugh at myself. Frederic William Farrar If I go to Germany, I learn something in addition. The German television is very precise and respectable. One has never stress. In Italy it is more dynamic. But I amuse myself madly in both countries. Michelle Hunziker In an attempt to amuse my friends and family, I would do impressions of Dean Martin, singing Everybody Loves Somebody. I secretly really enjoyed singing the song. Peter Gallagher In college, before video games, we would amuse ourselves by posing programming exercises. Ken Thompson It now costs more to amuse a child than it once did to educate his father. Vaughn Monroe It only works because we still amuse each other. After we have been working with other people, it is so refreshing to laugh unreservedly when we are back together again. Adrian Edmondson Kids can amuse themselves with almost anything. Allen Klein My books are very few, but then the world is before me - a library open to all - from which poverty of purse cannot exclude me - in which the meanest and most paltry volume is sure to furnish something to amuse, if not to instruct and improve. Joseph Howe My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain. Helmut Newton She and my uncle were very sociable and would have a lot of people over at night to play cards or whatever. The high spot of those evenings was when we kids got dressed up to do a skit or something to amuse the guests. I loved it. Louise Fletcher Small things amuse small minds. Doris Lessing The delusion of entertainment is devoid of meaning. It may amuse us for a bit, but after the initial hit we are left with the dark feeling of desolation. Arthur Erickson |
