Over the past decades, students who have blindly followed their passion, without rational analysis of whether their choice of career truly was wise, have been more unhappy with their job choices than those who coupled passion with rationality. ~ Barbara Oakley
Barbara quotes by Barbara Oakley
Every human interaction offers you the chance to make things better or to make things worse. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Barbara quotes by Barbara Brown Taylor
Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you. Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional. Physical pain is a fact that comes with living, just as illness or financial woes or broken relationships are facts. But misery is a state of mind, a reaction to the facts, that can be controlled or altered by an act of will ... ~ Barbara
Barbara quotes by Barbara
I tell my grandchildren - I've got seven of them - to go to college and get that degree first. I could have stayed in college and still recorded. Isn't that something? The kids of today are doing it. ~ Barbara Lynn
Barbara quotes by Barbara Lynn
People lost the capacity of using their brain. It's all about the label. Not about the labels showing but subtlety of the labels. ~ Barbara Hulanicki

Barbara quotes by Barbara Kruger
I always say that I'm an artist who works with pictures and words, so I think that the different aspects of my activity, whether it's writing criticism, or doing visual work that incorporates writing, or teaching, or curating, is all of a single cloth, and I don't make any separation in terms of those practices. ~ Barbara Kruger
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kruger
I'm a follower of the Christ path, and that opens a huge discussion about what we even mean by words like "Christian." ~ Barbara Brown Taylor

Out of all the actors I have worked with, I love working with Larry Hagman the most. We were very close and it was just a wonderful time. ~ Barbara Eden
Barbara quotes by Barbara Eden
Certain ramshackle aspects of Dellarobia had also gone undercover, it seemed, just like the snow-covered barns. Some defects lurked, but for now her way seemed clear. She'd made plans. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Money was the manure of politics ... ~ Barbara Mertz
Barbara quotes by Barbara Mertz
Do you remember when we picketed the White House in 1965? ~ Barbara Gittings
Barbara quotes by Barbara Gittings
Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Duty was not untinged by ambition. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman

To put on the garment of legitimacy is the first aim of every coup. ~ Barbara Tuchman
Barbara quotes by Barbara Tuchman
A star is only as good as her last picture. ~ Barbara Stanwyck
Barbara quotes by Barbara Stanwyck
I'd been raised on excuses. But the Marine Corps taught me that excuses don't matter. That excuses--even when prettied up as reasons--are just a way to avoid doing what needs doing. ~ Barbara Nickless
Barbara quotes by Barbara Nickless
I have long relied on the comforts of martyrdom. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Every incident in the Old Testament was considered to pre-figure in allegory what was to come in the New. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman

Barbara quotes by Dee Dee Myers
That's a tarantula,' he said. 'You got to watch out for them suckers. They can jump four feet. If they get you, you go crazy. It's a special kind of poison'
This I didn't believe. I never could figure out why men thought they could impress a woman by making the world out to be such a big dangerous deal. I mean, we've got to live in the exact same world every damn day of the week, don't we? ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
No matter how old we get, life's always got a lesson for you. Most likely one you've learned ten times before. ~ Barbara Neely
Barbara quotes by Barbara Neely
We are each the authors of our own lives, Emma. We live in what we have created. There is no way to shift the blame and no one else to accept the accolades. ~ Barbara Taylor Bradford
Barbara quotes by Barbara Taylor Bradford
The paparazzi terrify and torment people and endanger people and it's really unpleasant. ~ Barbara Broccoli
Barbara quotes by Barbara Broccoli
life isn't black or white. There isn't only one picture that's perfect. It's about piecing together shades of gray to make something quite stunning. And the picture shifts. That's another Dad-ism. Remember his sea shadows? Each time the shadow moves, there's a new image. Only sometimes those clouds are stuck up there, so we're the ones who have to move to see it. ~ Barbara Delinsky
Barbara quotes by Barbara Delinsky
Every 20 minutes you've got to have a bump, you've got to have a change in course, you've got to unsettle the audience. It can't be too predictable so something has to happen. I think that was something that Hitchcock did very well too. You couldn't let an audience feel too settled in. ~ Barbara Broccoli
Barbara quotes by Barbara Broccoli
The textile industry was the automobile industry of the Middle Ages, ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Barbara quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
In fact, if you're not prepared to die when you're almost sixty, then I would say you've been falling down on your philosophical responsibilities as a grown-up human being. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Barbara quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
Hey, you're not supposed to find our magnificent organs amusing. ~ Barbara Elsborg
Barbara quotes by Barbara Elsborg
Not everyone is meant to be a writer," Shyla said. "I do believe, however, that everyone has a story within them to be written. ~ Barbara Casey
Barbara quotes by Barbara Casey
If every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce, we would reduce our country's oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week. That's not gallons, but barrels. Small changes in buying habits can make big differences. Becoming a less energy-dependent nation may just need to start with a good breakfast. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
I'm living my life, not buying a lifestyle. ~ Barbara Kruger
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kruger
Every successful revolution puts on in time the robes of the tyrant it has deposed. ~ Barbara Tuchman
Barbara quotes by Barbara Tuchman
When faced with the inevitable fatigue that comes with the recycling of speeches and the recycling of thoughts in a rather small stream of vortex, I am urged to not be ashamed of recycling. ~ Barbara Amiel
Barbara quotes by Barbara Amiel
More is required of public officials than slogans and handshakes and press releases. More is required. We must hold ourselves strictly accountable. We must provide the people with a vision of the future. ~ Barbara Jordan
Barbara quotes by Barbara Jordan
Cultural creatives take a stand for a more spiritualized, personalized, and integrated culture. ~ Barbara Marx Hubbard
Barbara quotes by Barbara Marx Hubbard
We must surely appear to the world as exactly what we are: a nation that organizes its economy around consuming twice as much oil as it produces, and around the profligate wastefulness of the wars and campaigns required to defend such consumption. In recent years we have defined our national interest largely in terms of the oil fields and pipelines we need to procure fuel. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
All is waiting and all is work; all is change and all is permanence. ~ Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Barbara quotes by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Barbara [Stanwyck] and me in our only scene alone in Titanic. It wasn't much of a scene, but it sparked one of the most intense and rewarding relationships of my life. ~ Robert Wagner
Barbara quotes by Robert Wagner
If you can't solve it, it's not a problem - it's reality. ~ Barbara Coloroso
Barbara quotes by Barbara Coloroso
I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. ~ Barbara Kruger
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kruger
All rituals are paradoxical and dangerous enterprises, the traditional and improvised, the sacred and the secular. Paradoxical because rituals are conspicuously artificial and theatrical, yet designed to suggest the inevitability and absolute truth of their messages. Dangerous because when we are not convinced by a ritual we may become aware of ourselves as having made them up, thence on the paralyzing realization that we have made up all our truths; our ceremonies, our most precious conceptions and convictions - all are mere inventions. ~ Barbara Myerhoff
Barbara quotes by Barbara Myerhoff
I thought being faithful was about becoming someone other than who I was ... it wasn't until I failed that I began to wonder if my human wholeness might be more useful to God than my exhausting goodness. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Barbara quotes by Barbara Brown Taylor
At the age of fifty-six Eleanor Stoddard was still a beautiful woman. She owned three hotels in France and another two in England. From nothing at all, she had built an empire. Eleanor had it all. Her one weakness was the young man sleeping beside her. ~ Barbara Taylor Bradford
Barbara quotes by Barbara Taylor Bradford
Arguments could fill a marriage like water, running through everything, always, with no taste or color but lots of noise. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
I'm always telling students when I do a master class on audiobooks: 'Watch Meryl Streep. Watch her disappear into a role; watch what she does.' ~ Barbara Rosenblat
Barbara quotes by Barbara Rosenblat
It's also very painful, because I feel, and I know, probably all women my age and older feel like we're better and have more to give and are more fun now. ~ Barbara Hershey
Barbara quotes by Barbara Hershey
Why do you always wear black?"
She delighted me with her answer, the correct, the only, answer. "I'm in mourning for my life. I'm unhappy. ~ Barbara Vine
Barbara quotes by Barbara Vine
It was the face that disturbed me. The artist had lit it in such a way that it appeared very strong, actually, to my mind, brutal. The nose was long and thin, the full underlip protruberant [sic], and the blue eyes icy cold. There was a great deal of pride in his look - more than pride, arrogance, rather. I wondered if it were only animals he had hunted with that gun.
Yet there was no doubt that the face was well done. The contrast between light and dark was evidence enough of the artist's skill. The man, I thought, must have actually been proud of the insolence and brutality which I saw in his face. Otherwise he would never have let the artist depict so clearly those aspects of his character. ~ Barbara Cohen
Barbara quotes by Barbara Cohen
You're thinking of revolution as a great all-or-nothing. I think of it as one more morning in a muggy cotton field, checking the undersides of leaves to see what's been there, figuring out what to do that won't clear a path for worse problems next week. Right now that's what I do. You ask why I'm not afraid of loving and losing, and that's my answer. Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run. The daily work--that goes on, it adds up. It goes into the ground, into crops, into children's bellies and their bright eyes. Good things don't get lost.
Codi, here's what I've decided: the very least you can do in you life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. What I want is so simple I almost can't say it: elementary kindness. Enough to eat, enough to go around. The possibility that kids might one day grow up to be neither the destroyer nor the destroyed. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
As for an eternity in heaven - that would be hell! ~ Barbara Smoker
Barbara quotes by Barbara Smoker
In her experience people had worries or they had tons of money, not both. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
She would die of him or be cured. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
I gauge the closeness of my friends even now by how helplessly they can make me laugh. ~ Barbara Quick
Barbara quotes by Barbara Quick
I'm not pretending to be ingenuous; I know what I'm doing. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
In almost thirty years of walking around on the grass of the world, she couldn't recall having spent two minutes alone with a butterfly. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Much of my rebelliousness starts with indifference to what is urgently important to others. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Barbara quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
The universe, it appeared, had never been kind to Captain Bortrek, conspiring against him in a fashion that Threepio privately considered unlikely given the man's relative unimportance. Knowing what he did about the Alderaan social structure, shipping regulations, the psychology of law enforcement agents, and the statistical behavior patterns of human females, Threepio was much inclined to doubt that so many hundreds of people would spend that much time thinking up ways to thwart and injure a small-time free-trader who was, by his own assertion, only trying to make a living. ~ Barbara Hambly
Barbara quotes by Barbara Hambly
Belief sometimes precedes understanding; faith sometimes precedes scientific evidence. ~ Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Barbara quotes by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Love was such a complex emotion, so overpowering and all-consuming. Love conquered all, the old saying went. ~ Barbara Delinsky
Barbara quotes by Barbara Delinsky
Real love is intentional, an act of the will. ~ Barbara Hughes
Barbara quotes by Barbara Hughes
There are no original ideas. There are only original people. ~ Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Barbara quotes by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Where'd you see her at? ~
Officer Tony Penziotti, Sunnie's Rainbow ~ D.H. Barbara
Barbara quotes by D.H. Barbara
I'm taking a vow not to advise. ~ Barbara Bush
Barbara quotes by Barbara Bush
Love is more about being the right person than finding the right person. ~ Barbara Bartlein
Barbara quotes by Barbara Bartlein
I have been on the receiving end of many blessings in my life, few as great as having known George and Barbara Bush. ~ Christopher Buckley
Barbara quotes by Christopher Buckley
If you cannot solve it, it is not a problem - it is reality. ~ Barbara Coloroso
Barbara quotes by Barbara Coloroso
My abortion was so long ago I didn't think I needed help. I hoped God had forgiven me but I hadn't realized I didn't forgive myself. After attending this safe, nurturing group I know that I am forgiven and set free. ~ Barbara
Barbara quotes by Barbara
The cost of the pretense was the loss of the real human texture underneath, but since we all thought that was what was expected of us, that was what we delivered. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Barbara quotes by Barbara Brown Taylor
Creativity is not being afraid to be different. It takes madness to jump at an idea that no one else believes in. ~ Barbara Januszkiewicz
Barbara quotes by Barbara Januszkiewicz
I reminded myself of a leftover piece of meat that was starting to spoil. ~ Barbara Honigmann
Barbara quotes by Barbara Honigmann
A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn't want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband. ~ Barbara Cartland
Barbara quotes by Barbara Cartland
A lot of kneeling keeps one in good standing. ~ Barbara Johnson
Barbara quotes by Barbara Johnson
The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous. ~ Barbara Cartland
Barbara quotes by Barbara Cartland
What we lose in our great human exodus from the land is a rooted sense, as deep and intangible as religious faith, of why we need to hold on to the wild and beautiful places that once surrounded us. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
England's traditional tolerance was outraged at last. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Barbara quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
True, but irrelevant. ~ Barbara M. White
Barbara quotes by Barbara M. White
Women have always been healers. They were the unlicensed doctors and anatomists. They were abortionists, nurses and counselors. They were the pharmacists, cultivating healing herbs, and exchanging the secrets of their uses. They were midwives, traveling from home to home and village to village. For centuries women were doctors without degrees, barred from books and lectures, learning from each other, and passing on experience from neighbor to neighbor and mother to daughter. They were called "wise women" by the people, witches or charlatans by the authorities. Medicine is part of our heritage as women, our history, our birthright. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Barbara quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
They couldn't close out the whole world, maybe, but they could sure find something on their TV or radio to put scientists or foreigners or whatever they thought he was in a bad light. Truly, they were no better than the city people always looking down on southerners ... If people played their channels right, they could be spared from disagreement for the length of their natural lives. Finally she got it. The need for so many channels. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~ Barbara Bloom
Barbara quotes by Barbara Bloom
All addictions have one thing in common - they numb you out to what is happening in the moment. ~ Barbara De Angelis
Barbara quotes by Barbara De Angelis
Look, Charlie," said Vince leaning back in his chair. "It's real simple. We will be four people
two men and two women
I figure it's better to have two women instead of three men and one woman so she'll have someone she can confide in and all. Women need that kind of thing. Anyway, we'll be four people
friends
housemates
equal partners. We'll be an alliance. We'll be just like family. And we'll help take care of one another. We'll have a nice home, each with our own private bedroom and bathroom, and a nice yard with flowers."
"And maybe a vegetable garden," added Charlie.
"That's it," grinned Vince. ~ Barbara Casey
Barbara quotes by Barbara Casey
But you don't know what I want, do you. You formed an idea of who I am and What I do, and you've woven that idea in your life. You may listen to my words, but you don't hear my thoughts. You don't hear my needs. You don't see me. You haven't seen me in years. ~ Barbara Delinsky
Barbara quotes by Barbara Delinsky
Impersonating a quiet, gentle librarian like Barbara Gordon
You deserve to be taken out of circulation! ~ Karl Kesel
Barbara quotes by Karl Kesel
I like my coffee black, my beer from Germany, wine from Burgundy, the darker, the better. I like my heroes complicated and brooding, James Dean in oiled leather, leaning on a motorcycle. You know the color. ("Ode to Chocolate") ~ Barbara Crooker
Barbara quotes by Barbara Crooker
When virtue is at liberty, so to some extent is vice. ~ Barbara Amiel
Barbara quotes by Barbara Amiel
In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colorless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again(15). ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
So he just stood there brewing like a coffeepot. Onlywith a coffeepot you know exactly what's going to come out of it. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Every man wants love, if he can get past the fear of exposure. ~ Barbara Delinsky
Barbara quotes by Barbara Delinsky
A flower is your cousin ... Sometimes a person has got to take a life, like a chicken's or a hog's when you need it ... But nobody is so hungry they need to kill a flower. Cherokee great-grandmother ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
If we give up on having library collections (digital or otherwise) and outsource access to and preservation of knowledge to corporations, we will have neither access nor preservation. ~ Barbara Fister
Barbara quotes by Barbara Fister
Activism" is not just what we see on the streets or on the Internet or in the news; sometimes, "activism" is the simple act of doggedly, determinedly surviving. ~ Barbara Gurr
Barbara quotes by Barbara Gurr
We cannot jump to conclusions. All we can do is measure and count. That is the task of science. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
You can waste a perfectly good life trying to meet the standards of someone who thinks you're not good enough because they can't understand who you are. ~ Barbara Sher
Barbara quotes by Barbara Sher
With me or without me? ~ Barbara Elsborg
Barbara quotes by Barbara Elsborg
When the children were very small, I worked in the morning only, and then gradually, as they spent full days at school, I could spend full days at work. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
