Figured Quotes (page 50)

I want to give my compliments to Australia. Ever since your government paid a few million dollars for a Jackson Pollack painting, I figure that it must be a marvellous country. Morton Feldman
Jon Favreau quote: "I've always wanted to call the shots because I would rather..."
I've always wanted to call the shots because I would rather fail than not have a chance to figure it out on my own. Jon Favreau
That satisfied me until I began to figure that if God loved all his children equally, why did he bother about my red hat and let other people lose their fathers and mothers for always? Frances Farmer
Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me. Rupert Everett
The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness. Chris Evans
I studied English literature in the honors program, which means that you had to take courses in various centuries.

Evan Esar quote: "Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable..."
Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures. Evan Esar
I can't really put it in one sentence because although on one hand Preacher is about faith and yes it is also about, I suppose, the search for God, the search for faith and the manipulation and the abuse committed by figures in whom I suppose people have faith. Garth Ennis
I find more people want to eat a little less. My generation, we're all watching our figures. They want to go to the bar and eat a few snacks, have a couple of cocktails or glasses of wine, and go home. People don't sit down at the table and have a whole three or four courses. Todd English
The countless number of influential figures in American history who are of Caribbean heritage indicates the need to set aside a designated time to celebrate their contribution to our country. Eliot Engel
No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure, for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty. Albrecht Durer
People always ask me how long somebody can last as long as I've been lasting and continue to keep doing it, so I figured that people didn't really know how to do that. Jermaine Dupri
The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Theresa - not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is 'you're going to make choices; you're going to challenge; you're going to say why not; you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before. Anita Dunn
I've always just shown up and tried to figure out what's for lunch and am I going to get to play some racquetball that night. Robert Downey, Jr.
It's strange to play outdoors, especially in the daytime. But we're figuring it out. The rules are different for festival shows - how you talk to the crowd, how you can try to get them involved. Things are just a little different, and I think we've learned to adapt our show. Andrew Dost
