It could be construed that the reason I wouldn't wish to live in England is the immigration explosion. And that's not true at all.
We wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can "show off" and astonish people when we get home. We wish to excite the envy of our untraveled friends with our strange foreign fashions which we can't shake off.
It`s always been the same for me. I`ve always enjoyed acting, and I really love good actors; they`re such unique characters. I wish I could tell stories well, or tell a joke. Any time someone can do that it`s so satisfying. Sean Penn, for instance, is a really good actor, and he can tell a good joke or story. But it`s hard to do. Most actors have special talents that make them attractive, but they`re often odd characters.
It's my wish that I can help creative people think of new ways to be creative - to get more joy and understanding from their own unique processes.
If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.
Wish it, believe it, and it will be so.
Never be afraid of a cliché, if it expresses what you wish to say.
If wishes were fishes we'd all be throwing nets. If wishes were horses we'd all ride.
Fascinating, often hilarious, always devastatingly truthful, The Inconvenient Indian is destined to become a classic of historical narrative. For those who wish to better understand Native peoples, it is a must read. For those who don't wish to understand, it is even more so.
We often persuade ourselves to love people who are more powerful than we are, yet interest alone produces our friendship; we do not give our hearts away for the good we wish to do, but for that we expect to receive.
We may have uneasy feelings for seeing a creature in distress without pity; for we have not pity unless we wish to relieve them.
You do not really wish to hear more of the Battle of Kadesh. Let me say only that human fat, gorged in considerable quantity, has an intoxicating effect. I became. . . drunk.
I wish I could write lyrical poems, but I just write the way they come.
I've been very fortunate in the things I've had in my life. But, at the same time, I wish I had the same types of memories as everyone else.
You don't know me, but I know about you. . . I can't make you live longer. I can't stop you from hurting. But I can give you one wish, as someone did for me.
It is the human wish to be told lies that keep us as primitive morally and socially as we are. I am persuaded that a lie grounded in human desire is too powerful for mere reason to kill.
Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did. . . That's my biggest regret.
The thing that you are too young to understand is that we all hide things. We hide them from our lovers because we wish to present our best selves, but also because if it is real love, we expect our loved one to simply understand it, without needing to ask. In a true partnership, the kind that lasts through the ages, there is an unspoken communion.
Whoever wishes peace among peoples must fight statism.
Goodness is a perpetual quantity, all penetrating, all searching, impartial, noble, a comfort in distress, a refuge to the weak, a tower and a defense to all who wish to be right and to do right.
