A person is born with a liking for profit.
Xun Zi

A person is born with desires of the eyes and ears, and a liking for beautiful sights and sounds. If he gives way to them, they will lead him to immorality and lack of restriction, and any ritual principles and propriety will be abandoned.
Xun Zi

Anyway, I tried liking Jimmy Corrigan but I couldn't.
Ted Rall

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.
Kevyn Aucoin

Doing something like that, quite radically changing your approach to sound in one go, could leave you high and dry. It's happened before where people have changed direction and then everyone's stopped liking their music.
Tom Jenkinson

English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.
Malcolm Bradbury

Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal liking.
Alexander Smith

Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.
Norman Vincent Peale

Hostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.
George Eliot

How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.
Alexander Smith

I became more confident within myself and matured as a person and become a little bit more opinionated - maybe the lads might say a little bit too opinionated for their liking but that is just a natural progression for a player.
Kenny Cunningham

I can look back at stuff I wrote in my early days and squirm at some of the mistakes I made. But we're all learning every day; we never stop. I just hope people keep on liking what I do. That gives me such a kick.
Paul Kane

I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs.
Joanna Newsom

I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.
Jane Austen

I do remember being a fan of the Marvel characters and not liking the DC characters at all.
Alfred Molina

I find the selectivity of erotic love - the choice of this man or this woman - much more intelligible if liking the person is the origin of sexual interest, rather than the other way.
Mortimer Adler

I grew up not liking my father very much. I never saw him cry. But he must have. Everybody cries.
Charley Pride

I grew up taking piano lessons and liking Wagner when I was in second grade.
Tom Verlaine

I think for writers who write that kind of stuff, they want to make changes. Look at Kris Kristofferson and Dylan. I mean, whole generations come along liking that stuff and that's great.
Lee Hazlewood

I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn't play, it has a poignancy to it.
Jim Jarmusch
