Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence.
Maurice Maeterlinck

Julie Christie

I choose the places I go to carefully and wisely. I'll rarely go to a shopping mall anymore.

Larry Norman

I liked the way my character, Shane, was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action, and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is, to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.
Katherine Moennig

I long for typical days, but rarely get them any more.
Nora Roberts

I never had many problems to do my music and to give it to a record company. Rarely do they try to argue with me about my music, probably because it's still too far-out.
Klaus Schulze

I never played the right roles, or very rarely got the right roles offered, except on stage.
Maximilian Schell

I rarely believe anything, because at the time of believing I am not really there to believe.
Gertrude Stein

I rarely do masks because, if I have any extra time, I'd rather spend it with my friends than on myself.
Eva Herzigova

I rarely draw what I see. I draw what I feel in my body.
Barbara Hepworth
