To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations - such is a pleasure beyond compare.
Kenko Yoshida

We can compare classical chess and rapid chess with theatre and cinema - some actors don't like the latter and prefer to work in the theatre.
Boris Spassky

We can't compare stories. We can only know in our hearts that we are the same. That may be the best we can do.
Betty Buckley

We have just started, and if you compare the number of people using Skype to the number using a telephone network around the world, we're still just starting.
Niklas Zennstrom

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year; we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.
Valentino Rossi

We really shouldn't be running education like a supermarket where you compare prices.

Noel Gallagher

Writing checks for charities is necessary and important. But it can't compare with corporal works of mercy, which are infinitely greater.
William E. Simon

Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
Francoise Sagan

You can compare me with Greta Garbo. I have big feet, too.
Lee Remick

Lamar Hunt
