Anything Else Quotes (page 2)

What's so special about me?" There isn't anything specialabout you, at least, nothing I can put my finger on. And yet and here's the mystery of life - Ican't think of anything else. Paulo Coelho

Anyway, like most theories advanced in this column, it turned out to be utter rubbish. I went to a couple of terrific exhibitions at the Royal Academy (and that’s a hole in my argument right there—one book might beat up one painting, but what chance has one book, or even four books,... Nick Hornby
A hundred years from now, people will look back on us and laugh. They'll say, 'You know what people used to believe? They believed in photons and electrons. Can you imagine anything so silly?' They'll have a good laugh, because by then there will be newer better fantasies... And meanwhile, you feel the way the boat moves? That's the sea. That's real. You smell the salt in the air? You feel the sunlight on your skin? That's all real. Life is wonderful. It's a gift to be alive, to see the sun... Michael Crichton
We cannot see anything until we are possessed with the idea of it, take it into our heads, - and then we can hardly see anything else. Henry David Thoreau
I was always a filmmaker before I was anything else. If I was always anything, I was a storyteller, and it never really made much of a difference to me what medium I worked in. Nicholas Meyer
Andre Gide quote: "Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for..."
Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else. Andre Gide
I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything. Isabelle Huppert
It was exactly the same on the South Park movie really too. There's lots of violence in that too, but it always came down to anything sexual... They don't care about anything else. Trey Parker
The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion; and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology. Basil Bunting
I don't think geometric art is... I don't like to call it that. I don't think it's any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn't have anything to do with purity. Donald Judd
Billy Baldwin quote: "I don't think anyone has a right to possess anything he..."
I don't think anyone has a right to possess anything he doesn't love - art or anything else. Billy Baldwin
