Seems Quotes

The more the diamond is cut the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
Thomas Guthrie

Once somebody is known, it seems as though anybody anywhere can say anything about them. Whereas if I simply stopped someone in the street and criticised their clothes, their work, their parents, their inner being, I'd be sued and I'd be thrown in prison.
Steven Patrick Morrissey

Work, Parents, Someone

For me to think in terms of employing security seems ostentatious.
Steven Patrick Morrissey

Security, Terms, Employing

My family, although they're very large on both my parents' sides, they don't know much about their family tree. Occasionally, they try to dig, but they can't get very far, and it's baffling. In Dublin, it seems that so many public records were wiped out; it's proven to be very difficult, so I know very little.
Steven Patrick Morrissey

Family, Parents, Try

The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him.
Jose Ortega y Gasset

Sometimes the picture that emerges of the man seems no longer to agree with our conception of the musician. In reality, however, there is a glorious unity.
Alfred Einstein

Reality, Sometimes, Picture

I always loved the creative process, from 'Shakespeare in Love' to 'Finding Neverland' to 'Basquiat'; whether it's serious, or it's comedic, whether it's the 'inside look' at that, it seems to be a theme of what I do.
Harvey Weinstein

Love, Serious, Creative

Aspiration, it seems, is in danger of becoming the preserve of the wealthy.
Iain Duncan Smith

Danger, Becoming, Aspiration

With high underemployment - currently over one million part-time workers in the UK want to work more hours - sanctioning clients who cannot increase their hours seems to be both unworkable and unfair.
Iain Duncan Smith

Work, Cannot, High

Of course I am frustrated with regard to extreme poverty, to violence that never seems to cease.
Roger Moore

Poverty, Violence, Frustrated

Israel fights back, which is very much at odds with the Jewish instinct to discuss and deconstruct everything until action itself seems senseless.
Elizabeth Wurtzel

Everything, Until, Action

And to stick our head in the sand and pretend that we are somehow safer if we do not know or to pretend we are somehow safer if we limit our options seems to me not only foolish but actually dangerous.
Mac Thornberry

Dangerous, Actually, Head

When I am writing, I do not distinguish between the natural and supernatural. Everything seems real. That is my world, you could say.
Haruki Murakami

Writing, Real, Everything

I never wanted to do political satire because it seems too surface to me.
Tracey Ullman

Political, Wanted, Surface

I do not support raising the minimum wage, and the reason is as follows. When the minimum wage is raised, workers are priced out of the market. That is the economic reality that seems, at least so far, to be missing from this discussion.
John Sununu

Reality, Reason, Far

I'm only interested in being a good actor and in being remembered for my best films, not for the way I look. But it seems inevitable in this line of work that I have to care about the way I look without getting obsessed about it.
Kevin Costner

Work, Good, Best

A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity.
Charles Ives

Nature, Experience, Cannot

No I don't think it was a myth at all, anymore than what the recession that the whole country was experiencing was a myth, which obviously seems like it's going to get worse and worse.
Lester Bangs

Country, Whole, Worse

The Dodo never had a chance. He seems to have been invented for the sole purpose of becoming extinct and that was all he was good for.
Will Cuppy

Good, Chance, Purpose

The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it; most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don't seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst.
Julie Burchill

Beauty, Best, Truth

Nicole Kidman in particular seems to bring out the butt-kisser in the sassiest of hackettes, as they ceaselessly strive to portray her as some sort of cross between Mother Teresa and Marilyn Monroe.
Julie Burchill

Mother, Between, Her

Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist.
Julie Burchill

Bitter, Nor, Bridges

Congress seems drugged and inert most of the time... its idea of meeting a problem is to hold hearings or, in extreme cases, to appoint a commission.
Shirley Chisholm

Time, Problem, Idea

If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child.
Frederick Buechner

Child, Childish

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
Liz Phair

Music, Different, Anyone

It seems to me like the Internet allows you to break that structure a little bit. You know, here's your CD that's going into stores, here's your EP that you offer online, here's a subscription for songs you recorded on the road, here's your live stuff streaming.
Liz Phair

Live, Here, Road

Lana Del Rey seems to be bothering everybody because she allegedly 'remade' herself from a folk singing, girl-next-door type into an electro-urban kitty cat on the prowl (of course I like her), and they feel she is inauthentic.
Liz Phair

Her, She, Everybody

I don't subscribe to anything. I sit there and I try to think about what seems honest to me.
Charlie Kaufman

Try, Honest, Sit

As a new artist, you come out, and there are so many other new artists. It seems like there's a whole wave of new artists that come along every year. In '05, I was part of the crop. It was a lot harder trying to set myself apart from the rest of the pack.
Jason Aldean

Trying, Whole, Year

Anna Deavere Smith

Afraid, Talk, Race
