Often Is Quotes (page 8)

Anthony Bourdain quote: "Good food is very often, even most often, simple food."
Good food is very often, even most often, simple food. Anthony Bourdain
The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. John F. Kennedy
Women are reputed never to be disgusted. The sad fact is that they often are, but not with men; following the lead of men, they are most often disgusted with themselves. Germaine Greer
In my books, women often solve the problem. Even if the woman is not the hero, she's a strong character. She does change the plot. She'll often rescue the male character from some situation. Ken Follet
Andrea Dworkin quote: "Seduction is often difficult to distinguish from rape. In..."
Seduction is often difficult to distinguish from rape. In seduction, the rapist often bothers to buy a bottle of wine. Andrea Dworkin
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life. August Strindberg
Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer. Miuccia Prada
Hubert H. Humphrey quote: "The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of..."
The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of sequence. Hearsay often turns out to have been prophecy. Hubert H. Humphrey

Saskya Pandita quote: "Great affection is often the cause of violent animosity. The..."
Great affection is often the cause of violent animosity. The quarrels of men often arise from too great a familiarity. Saskya Pandita
Because it is the nature of love to create, a marriage itself is something which has to be created, so that, together we become a new creature. To marry is the biggest risk in human relations that a person can take…If we commit ourselves to one person for life this is not, as many people think, a rejection of freedom; rather it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not possession, but participation…It... Madeleine L'Engle
There are many people, particularly in sports, who think that success and excellence are the same thing. They are not the same thing. Excellence is something that is lasting and dependable and largely within a person's control. In contrast, success is perishable and is often outside our control. If you strive for excellence, you will probably be successful eventually. People who put excellence in the first place have the patience to end up with success. An additional burden for the victim of... Joe Paterno
Why was it that in cases of real love the one who is left does not more often follow the beloved by suicide? Only because the living must bury the dead? Because of the measured rites that must be fulfilled after a death? Because it is as though the one who is left steps for a time upon a stage and each second swells to an unlimited amount of time and he is watched by many eyes? Because there is a function he must carry out? Or perhaps, when there is love, the widowed must stay for the... Carson McCullers

Many people have talent; it is not rare: genius is. Talent is adroit and dexterous; it can be cultivated; genius is innate, and too often strangely allied to grave defects. But what is genius? W. Somerset Maugham
Most often, our water is shut off because of some reconstruction project, either in our village or in the next one over. A hole is dug, a pipe is replaced, and within a few hours things are back to normal. The mystery is that it's so perfectly timed to my schedule. That is to say that the tap dries up at the exact moment I roll out of bed, which is usually between 10:00 and 10:30. For me this is early, but for Hugh and most of our neighbors it's something closer to midday. What they do at... David Sedaris
