I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn't. And that's a tough place to be because you're never satisfied.
Robert Mapplethorpe

I am satisfied that all politicians were meant to be journalists and all journalists meant to be politicians.
Owen Arthur

I can't tell you exactly how I found it. It was just a process of writing a lot of stories and reading a lot of stories that I admired and just working and working until the sentences sounded right and I was satisfied with them.
Jhumpa Lahiri

I couldn't have come up with a better metaphor for my life and my internal conflict. It amazes me how quickly we can manifest our fears; not only had I created my 'I'm never satisfied, I'll drive her away' nightmare.
Kenny Loggins

Paul Simon

I don't want to sound smug but I am reasonably satisfied with how it's gone. I think it's fine.

Walter Chrysler

I had concluded when I was the prosecutor that I would vote against the death penalty if I were in the legislature but that I could ask for it when I was satisfied as to guilt.
Janet Reno

I had to be intellectually satisfied as well as emotionally because at that time of life one doesn't just fall into it in adolescent emotion, and I was satisfied at every point that it was the one way and the hard way to do things.
Ruth Pitter

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Oscar Wilde

I like to have a thing suggested rather than told in full. When every detail is given, the mind rests satisfied, and the imagination loses the desire to use its own wings.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich

I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me, and at length the longing has been satisfied.
Julia Margaret Cameron

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.
