Comparison Quotes

People often say that videogames made by Western developers are somehow different in terms of taste for the players, in comparison with Japanese games. I think that means that the Western developers and Japanese developers, they are good at different fields.
Shigeru Miyamoto

Good, Different, Made

It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.
Ashley Montagu

Work, Happiness, Hard

It's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons; I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other, more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.
Sloane Crosley

Funny, Humor, Truth

Intolerance respecting other people's religion is toleration itself in comparison with intolerance respecting other people's art.
Wallace Stevens

Great, Beautiful, Help

I'm a rapper... Gaga's a fantastic artist, you know, she paved her way. She's opened her own lane. But I think that I have my own lane. And we never cross. Ever.

Nicki Minaj

Music, Same, Her

There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison; there is no thinking about things, no putting two and two together; there are no ideas - the animal does not think of the box or of the food or of the act he is to perform.
Edward Thorndike

Food, Thinking, Together

Through, Value, Seen

Warren Farrell

Men, Thought, America

Our political differences, now matter how sharply they are debated, are really quite narrow in comparison to the remarkably durable national consensus on our founding convictions.

Political, Matter, Quite

Marriage of attraction is a gamble anyway, so you might as well marry into a family that is similar to your own, and make that much less of an adjustment.

Mira Nair

Love, Marriage, Work

I would never describe Charlotte as a prude - maybe at the start, but that was in comparison to the other girls. She wasn't willing to do the stuff they were doing - and I mean, thank goodness!
Kristin Davis

Mean, Start, She

Robert Delaunay

Art, Alone, Give

I think the attempt to draw a comparison between Iran and Syria is false, misleading and dangerous.
Ehud Olmert

Jhumpa Lahiri

Marriage, Yourself, Parents
