The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.
George Orwell

The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Brothers don't necessarily have to say anything to each other - they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.
Leonardo DiCaprio

I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances.
Leonardo DiCaprio

Brett Favre

To be compared to Jackie Robinson is an enormous compliment, but I don't think it's necessarily deserved.
Sidney Poitier

Aldous Huxley

A great emigration necessarily implies unhappiness of some kind or other in the country that is deserted.
Thomas Malthus

Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
Thomas Aquinas

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.
John Stuart Mill

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less.
Bertrand Russell

Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.
Eric Cantona

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Justice is what is established; and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
Blaise Pascal

Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
Blaise Pascal

A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order.
Jean-Luc Godard

Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

The joy we get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into something that's not necessarily anything true to ourselves. And it's a power - not being yourself, and being in the role; it's just like another prop.
Reese Witherspoon

The man who does not know other languages, unless he is a man of genius, necessarily has deficiencies in his ideas.
Victor Hugo

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.
Frank Lloyd Wright
