I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.

The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought deep freighted with truth and beauty.

Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.

Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised except by those to whom it has been refused.

Beauty is one of the rare things which does not lead to doubt of God.

Even in the centuries which appear to us to be the most monstrous and foolish the immortal appetite for beauty has always found satisfaction.

Imagination disposes of everything it creates beauty justice and happiness which are everything in this world.

Beauty n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.

Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

Each experience through which we pass operates ultimately for our good. This is a correct attitude to adopt and we must be able to see it in that light.

Its attitude which it has preached and practiced is skepticism. Now it finds the public is applying that skepticism to the press.

I came on to the film with a very happy-go-lucky attitude which I think my character Charlie did when she went into the house. I expected it to be good and then slowly things started to change for us all.

The money is in a different league these days of course but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don't have. There wasn't the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom.

The townspeople outside the reservations had a very superior attitude toward Indians which was kind of funny because they weren't very wealthy they were on the fringes of society themselves.

In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not I think it's just being reasonable.

What do you mean by faith? Is faith enough for Man? Should he be satisfied with faith alone? Is there no way of finding out the truth? Is the attitude of faith of believing in something for which there can be no more than philosophic proof the true mark of a Christian?

So at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position.

You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it. Which is what I intend to do.

Sid Vicious began the age of participation in which everyone could be the artist. Sid proved that you don't have to play well to be the star. You can play badly or not even at all. I endorsed that attitude. If you can't write songs no problem - simply steal one and change it to your taste.

Having a child makes you strong and gives you chutzpah. It relaxed my attitude to the job my center of focus shifted which I think is very helpful because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy.

In Scotland over many years we have cultivated through our justice system what I hope can be described as a 'culture of compassion.' On the other hand there still exists in many parts of the U.S. if not nationally an attitude towards the concept of justice which can only be described as a 'culture of vengeance.'

I like England more than I did when I left. It's become a bit of a better country in the last ten years in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don't give you a hard time.
