Alfred North Whitehead

Great, Matter, Meaning

I like the construction of sentences and the juxtaposition of words-not just how they sound or what they mean, but even what they look like.
Don DeLillo

Mean, Sound, Sentences

Words are not pebbles in alien juxtaposition.
Learned Hand

Words, Alien, Pebbles

I love my parents. But I'm almost 28 and it's not fun to be asked, 'What are you doing today? What do you want for dinner? When are you going to be home?' It just makes you feel like a kid. It's this juxtaposition of feeling annoyed and really lucky to have people who love you so much.
Jonah Hill

Love, Home, Today

Shailene Woodley

Love, Positive, Happy

Wim Wenders

True, Bored, American

Edward Zwick

Life, Heart, Someone

I think it would be a lot easier if I said, 'I feel like a dude,' but I was raised by a southern mom, so I know how to put on lipstick and walk in heels and rock that look. It's exactly that juxtaposition that confuses people.
Saskia de Brauw

I play these sort of comical instruments I invented, like the electric rake and the electric plunger. I do a lot of almost stand-up comedy material. Just the juxtaposition of the different styles in itself sometimes is funny. Like, I do sort of an acoustic version of 'Purple Haze' that has some bluegrass licks in it.
Eugene Chadbourne

Funny, Different, Play
