Recognised Quotes

Stephen Hawking

Good, Women, Men

Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
Vidal Sassoon

Enough, General, Worthy

I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did.
Tom Stoppard

Writing, Small, Getting

Universities are no longer educational in any sense of the word that Rousseau would have recognised. Instead, they have become unabashed instruments of capital. Confronted with this squalid betrayal, one imagines he would have felt sick and oppressed.
Terry Eagleton

Betrayal, Sick, Become

Somehow, knowing that Alzheimer's is coming mocks all one's aspirations - to tell stories, to think through certain issues as only a novel can do, to be recognised for one's accomplishments and hard work - in a way that old familiar death does not.
Jane Smiley

Work, Death, Hard

Someone, Else, Confusing

Harry Connick, Jr.

Cool, Nice, Star

My looks aren't something that come dazzlingly through in everything I do. I can be made to look one way or the other fairly easily... I am still not recognised on the street that much.

Through, Looks, Street

Murray Walker

Best, Against, Honour

As a young man, even if I was going to see a play or a film by myself, I didn't feel like I was alone. There was something that was unfolding up there that brought me into it. And I recognised that. For those two hours, it made me feel like I belonged to something really good.
Tom Hanks

Good, Alone, Two

I think that there should be options available, quite early on, that if someone is recognised as a disruptive child, for them to be trained vocationally. Maybe if those kids were given the option to learn how to contribute to society on a practical level they wouldn't get into trouble.
Paloma Faith

Society, Someone, Learn

The Armenian Genocide is such a controversial and very sensitive issue because the Turkish and Armenian people disagree about the facts of what actually happened. I know how strongly Armenians feel about the Genocide, and how it's never been recognised. At the same time, I do not hold today's generation of people accountable.
Khloe Kardashian

Time, Today, Same

I don't get recognised that much yet in London, but when I do I get a real sense of achievement.
Idris Elba

Real, Sense, London

Nearly all inventions are not recognised for their positive side either when they're made. So, for example, scientists didn't go out to design a CD machine: they designed a laser. But we got all sorts of things from a laser which we never remotely imagined, and we're still finding things for a laser to do.
Robert Winston

Positive, Design, Either

Sharon Stone

Great, Mother, Father

Roddy Doyle

Different, Bald, Glasses

It's cool to be recognised by your peers.
Frank Ocean

I get recognised sometimes, and that's really cool. I've tried certain disguises, but that doesn't work.
Rupert Grint

Work, Cool, Sometimes

I can't tell you where a poem comes from, what it is, or what it is for: nor can any other man. The reason I can't tell you is that the purpose of a poem is to go past telling, to be recognised by burning.
A. R. Ammons

Past, Reason, Tell

The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.

Bruce Dickinson

Famous, Down, Interest

Frank Ocean

Art, Yourself, Trying

Tony Abbott

Life, Marriage, Woman
