To be silent. In hopes of not offending, in hopes of being accepted.
But what happened to people who never spoke, never raised their voices? Kept everything inside?
Gamache knew what happened. Everything they swallowed, every word, thought, feeling rattled around inside, hollowing the person out. And into that chasm they stuffed their words, their rage. ~ Louise Penny
Being Accepted quotes by Louise Penny
When I was getting close to being accepted for pilot training, I was allowed to get in a jet airplane. I sat there looking at all those switches and dials and I got the distinct feeling that I was sitting in the nose of bomb. I realized my fantasies of flying and fighting were just that - fantasies. ~ Morgan Freeman
Being Accepted quotes by Morgan Freeman
More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust. ~ Roswell Dwight Hitchcock
Being Accepted quotes by Roswell Dwight Hitchcock
Each person with his or her history of being accepted or rejected, with his or her past history of inner pain and difficulties in relationships, is different. But in each one there is a yearning for communion and belonging, but at the same time a fear of it. Love is what we most want, yet it is what we fear the most. ~ Jean Vanier
Being Accepted quotes by Jean Vanier
Acceptance is the opposite of judgment and the antidote to judgment, and acceptance brings us the experience of love. What is the experience of love? It is the experience of accepting and being accepted, the experience of relaxation, of being able to just be, without struggling and striving to be any different than we are or requiring that others be different than however they are. That is what we all want - to just be able to relax and be okay just the way we are and to be okay with others just the way they are. ~ Gina Lake
Being Accepted quotes by Gina Lake
If you base your identity on having friends, being accepted, and being popular, you may find yourself compromising your standards or changing them every weekend to accommodate your friends. ~ Sean Covey
Being Accepted quotes by Sean Covey
Models should just be beautiful women who inspire others. They won't be starving themselves because they are being accepted for themselves. Any thinner than today's ideals would be impossible. Any thinner means dead. ~ Crystal Renn
Being Accepted quotes by Crystal Renn
The truth doesn't benefit from being accepted. The benefit comes from accepting the truth. ~ Constance Friday Elias
Being Accepted quotes by Constance Friday Elias
Black lives matter is not a black people's movement - metoo is not a women's movement - pride is not a gay people's movement - it's all humanity's movement - a movement for being accepted as humans by the humans. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Being Accepted quotes by Abhijit Naskar
You taught me that this world is not about gay people being accepted by us, but rather us being accepted by you. ~ Alec John Belle
Being Accepted quotes by Alec John Belle
The feeling of being accepted and acknowledgement and recognition and fame - I'm vain like everybody else. The feeling of achievement that I've helped the poor or somebody in need far outweighs the money. ~ Joe Jamail
Being Accepted quotes by Joe Jamail
I wish I'd been accepted sooner and better. When I was younger, not being accepted made me enraged, but now, I am not inclined to dismantle my history. If you banish the dragons, you banish the heroes--and we become attached to the heroic strain in our personal history. We choose our own lives. It is not simply that we decide on the behaviors that construct our experience; when given our druthers, we elect to be ourselves. Most of us would like to be more successful or more beautiful or wealthier, and most people endure episodes of low self-esteem or even self-hatred. We despair a hundred times a day. But we retain the startling evolutionary imperative for the fact of ourselves, and with that splinter of grandiosity we redeem our flaws. These parents have, by and large, chosen to love their children, and many of them have chosen to value their own lives, even though they carry what much of the world considers an intolerable burden. Children with horizontal identities alter your self painfully; they also illuminate it. They are receptacles for rage and joy-even for salvation. When we love them, we achieve above all else the rapture of privileging what exists over what we have merely imagined.

A follower of the Dalai Lama who had been imprisoned by the Chinese for decades was asked if he had ever been afraid in jail, and he said his fear was that he would lose compassion for his captors. Parents often think that they've captured something small and vulnerable, but th ~ Andrew Solomon
Being Accepted quotes by Andrew Solomon
Since my romance novels had all been thrillers as well, it wasn't such a leap for me to move into the straight thriller genre. The most difficult part, I think, was being accepted as a thriller writer. Once you've written romance, unfortunately, critics will never stop calling you a 'former romance author.' ~ Tess Gerritsen
Being Accepted quotes by Tess Gerritsen
A lot of people saw Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland as persecuted and tragic and vulnerable, and I think a lot of gay men feel that way because of their particular predicament in society and not being accepted completely. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Being Accepted quotes by Madonna Ciccone
There was a time when I desperately wanted to be part of a Yash Chopra film, not because he was a great director, but because I was an outsider and I wanted that validation of being accepted in the film industry. ~ Katrina Kaif
Being Accepted quotes by Katrina Kaif
Ever since the days when such formidable mediocrities as Galsworthy, Dreiser, Tagore, Maxim Gorky, Romain Rolland and Thomas Mann were being accepted as geniuses, I have been perplexed and amused by fabricated notions about so-called "great books." That, for instance, Mann's asinine "Death in Venice," or Pasternak's melodramatic, vilely written "Dr. Zhivago," or Faulkner's corn-cobby chronicles can be considered "masterpieces" or at least what journalists term "great books," is to me the sort of absurd delusion as when a hypnotized person makes love to a chair. My greatest masterpieces of twentieth century prose are, in this order: Joyce's "Ulysses"; Kafka's "Transformation"; Bely's "St. Petersburg," and the first half of Proust's fairy tale, "In Search of Lost Time. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Being Accepted quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
'Betchya Got A Cure' is my gut response to the media wars in this country, which are driving a wedge between citizens. It's about taking a stand for individuality and being brave instead of being accepted. ~ Sophie B. Hawkins
Being Accepted quotes by Sophie B. Hawkins
In the narcissist's world being accepted or cared for (not to mention loved) is a foreign language. It is meaningless or even repellent. One might recite the most delicate haiku in Japanese and it would still remain utterly meaningless to a non-speaker of Japanese. This does not diminish the value of the haiku or of the Japanese language, needless to say. But it means nothing to the non-speaker.

Narcissists damage and hurt but they do so offhandedly and naturally, as an afterthought…

They are aware of what they are doing to others - but they do not care. ~ Sam Vaknin
Being Accepted quotes by Sam Vaknin
I don't really care about being accepted now. I wish I had been like that earlier. ~ Terry Bradshaw
Being Accepted quotes by Terry Bradshaw
The root of all fears. Not being accepted by those we care about. Being rejected and isolated. It's a primal fear. As a species, we are meant to be part of a group. A community. We mistrust loners because we don't understand them. With the exception of our romanticizing the loner in movies and novels, of course. ~ Susan Mallery
Being Accepted quotes by Susan Mallery
What do you think it is that drives people to want far more than they could ever use or need? I frankly think it's insecurity. How do we let the world know that the trappings of this life are not the things that are ultimately important for being accepted? ~ Fred Rogers
Being Accepted quotes by Fred Rogers
Yet in reality, the likelihood of reaching the pinnacle of capitalist society today is only marginally better than were the chances of being accepted into the French nobility four centuries ago, though at least an aristocratic age was franker, and therefore kinder, about the odds. It did not relentlessly play up the possibilities open to all those with a take on the future of the potato crisp, and so, in turn, did not cruelly equate an ordinary life with a failed one.
Our era is perverse in passing off an exception as a rule. ~ Alain De Botton
Being Accepted quotes by Alain De Botton
Love is being accepted and adored for who you are, scars and all ~ Sara Wolf
Being Accepted quotes by Sara Wolf
A writer of any merit does not worry about being accepted everywhere. He must write to inspire, to change for the better or to challenge the status quo! ~ Avijeet Das
Being Accepted quotes by Avijeet Das
The entire quest is for acceptance. You run from pillar to post for being accepted as you are. This quest ends only when you realize that the most important in life is to accept yourself totally, wholly and completely. Unfortunately, that is a long drawn process and it takes time to reach that level. However, once you reach that stage, you are at entire peace with yourself. ~ Neelam Saxena Chandra
Being Accepted quotes by Neelam Saxena Chandra
James reminded Lulu of things best forgotten, of the cost of survival and the price of high living. Lulu had paid the price by trading in her tongue. Lo had cut out her heart. Audrey, who had been born into this world, had no ability to see beyond its borders. Emma alone seemed untouched by any kind of deal with the devil. But Lulu didn't believe that to be true. Nobody could go without paying the price. The prize of being accepted into the fold of the one-day rich and powerful was too tempting, too all-encompassing. Emma's bargain must have been the worst of all to stay so neat and invisible. ~ Aminah Mae Safi
Being Accepted quotes by Aminah Mae Safi
Privileged people can feel the way these identities threaten their privileged status and the benefits that they receive as a result. For this reason also, trying to reassure hegemony that these identities are not a threat to it (for the purpose of being "accepted" into society) is moot. Hegemony is right to feel threatened, because there's no way one could change social order without deconstructing power. ~ Shiri Eisner
Being Accepted quotes by Shiri Eisner
Whenever women have made any social gains, whether it's being accepted as athletes or moving into the professions, it's going to be contradicted with an image of woman as small, diminished, reduced, brought back to a childish body. The result is that a lot of extraordinary power is going to be diverted into making oneself smaller than one is meant to be. ~ Kim Chernin
Being Accepted quotes by Kim Chernin
I went to a motivational training course once, a course of self-discovery, and I found out after a week that my fear - it was not a fear of not being accepted - was a very violent fear of failure. ~ Emanuel Steward
Being Accepted quotes by Emanuel Steward
Some long for acceptance while others fear for anything ordinary. ~ Dominic Riccitello
Being Accepted quotes by Dominic Riccitello
They managed to find time ... to tell me that there was no chance of my being accepted for service and that really I should be surprised to still be alive. ~ C.S. Forester
Being Accepted quotes by C.S. Forester
It can sometimes be a hearbreaking struggle for us to arrive at a place where we are no longer afraid of the child inside us. We often fear that people won't take us seriously, or that they won't think us qualified enough. For the sake of being accepted, we can forget our source and put on one of the rigid masks of professionalism or conformity that society is continually offering us. The childlike part of us is the part that, like the Fool, simply does and says, without needing to qualify himself or strut his credentials. ~ Stephen Nachmanovitch
Being Accepted quotes by Stephen Nachmanovitch
When you have been often rejected, you become traumatized and develop a kind of apathy and nonchalance to being accepted. ~ Emmanuel Olawale
Being Accepted quotes by Emmanuel Olawale
The ability to impose one's values and tastes as if they were natural and objective rather than subjective leads to the legitimation of particular viewpoints being accepted or rejected. It is therefore the struggle over categories, as resources of symbolic power and representation, that is an extension ~ Roberta Garner
Being Accepted quotes by Roberta Garner
The Righteous Salaf were as fearful of their good deeds being squandered, or not being accepted, as the present generation is certain that their neglect would be forgiven. ~ Hasan Of Basra
Being Accepted quotes by Hasan Of Basra
If there's one great thing I think that's happened over the years, it's that women are being accepted into a man's world in all different areas, whether it's flying an airplane or driving a race car. ~ Danica Patrick
Being Accepted quotes by Danica Patrick
Being accepted by the world is the worst thing that can happen to the Church. ~ Michael L. Brown
Being Accepted quotes by Michael L. Brown
When I was younger, not being accepted made me enraged, but now, I am not inclined to dismantle my history. If you banish the dragons, you banish the heroes-and we become attached to the heroic strain in our personal history. ~ Andrew Solomon
Being Accepted quotes by Andrew Solomon
Someone was telling me that no more applications were being accepted for the position of God. ~ Jan Burke
Being Accepted quotes by Jan Burke
The fact that I could correctly make a reference to the Borg was probably part of the reason I was not being accepted into the Collective. ~ Molly Harper
Being Accepted quotes by Molly Harper
If I was concerned about being accepted, I would have been doing Ansel Adams lookalikes, because that was easily accepted. Everything I did was never accepted ... but luckily for me, my interest in the subject and my passion for the subject took me to the point that I wasn't wounded by that, and eventually, people came around to me. ~ Duane Michals
Being Accepted quotes by Duane Michals
It's because I dream of being accepted and respected, though I don't owe anything to anyone. Why do I need that? I waste my time on worries, regrets, and darkness - a darkness that only enslaves me, chaining me to a rock where I'm served up as food for birds of prey, a rock that I can no longer leave. ~ Paulo Coelho
Being Accepted quotes by Paulo Coelho
When I was in first grade, the kids called me 'fatso.' It hurt, but the way I overcame it was to outrun every kid in the class. So I developed a thick skin, and athletics became my way of performing and being accepted. ~ Billy Casper
Being Accepted quotes by Billy Casper
Somehow: Molly.
He heard her in the entryway. Mol, Molly, oh boy. When they were first married they used to fight. Say the most insane things. Afterward, sometimes there would be tears. Tears in bed? And then they would - Molly pressing her hot wet face against his hot wet face. They were sorry, they were saying with their bodies, they were accepting each other back, and that feeling, that feeling of being accepted back again and again, of someone's affection for you expanding to encompass whatever new flawed thing had just manifested in you, that was the deepest, dearest thing he'd ever -
She came in flustered and apologetic, a touch of anger in her face. He'd embarrassed her. He saw that. He'd embarrassed her by doing something that showed she hadn't sufficiently noticed him needing her. She'd been too busy nursing him to notice how scared he was. She was angry at him for pulling this stunt and ashamed of herself for feeling angry at him in his hour of need, and was trying to put the shame and anger behind her now so she could do what might be needed.
All of this was in her face. He knew her so well.
Also concern.
Overriding everything else in that lovely face was concern.
She came to him now, stumbling a bit on a swell in the floor of this stranger's house. ~ George Saunders
Being Accepted quotes by George Saunders
Everybody had to be thoroughly understood before being accepted. ~ Joseph Conrad
Being Accepted quotes by Joseph Conrad
When you strive in the way of the Almighty, you don't worry about being accepted or having the approval of others. You know your priority. ~ Mufti Ismail Menk
Being Accepted quotes by Mufti Ismail Menk
Sharing the emotional part of us with others creates closeness and intimacy. Also, being accepted by someone else for being who we are helps us accept ourselves. This is always a marvelous experience. ~ Melody Beattie
Being Accepted quotes by Melody Beattie
Courtney isn't independent. No 12-year-old truly is. Instead, Courtney has transferred her natural dependence from her parents, where it should be, to her same-age peers, where it shouldn't be. Courtney's top priorities now lie in pleasing her friends, being liked by her friends, being accepted by same-age peers. Her parents have become an afterthought, a means to other ends. ~ Leonard Sax
Being Accepted quotes by Leonard Sax
For all the self-improvement books I had read, I still wasn't above shallow validation-seeking. None of us were. That's why we were in the game. Sex wasn't about getting our rocks off; it was about being accepted. ~ Neil Strauss
Being Accepted quotes by Neil Strauss
It's the uncertainty of being accepted that creates the drama in our lives. ~ Elizabeth Eulberg
Being Accepted quotes by Elizabeth Eulberg
You shouldn't have asked," I said. "Love doesn't ask many questions, because if we stop to think we become fearful. It's an inexplicable fear; it's difficult even to describe it. Maybe it's the fear of being scorned, of not being accepted, or of breaking the spell. It's ridiculous, but that's the way it is. That's why you don't ask-you act. As you've said many times, you have to take risks. ~ Paulo Coelho
Being Accepted quotes by Paulo Coelho
Woman's great strength lies in being late or absent. Presence immediately reveals the weak points of our beloved; when she is absent she become one of the sylph-like figures of our adolescence whom we endowed with perfection. ~ Andre Maurois
Being Accepted quotes by Andre Maurois
Steadfast as the points of the compass to Mrs. Arbuthnot were the great four facts of life: God, Husband, Home, Duty. She had gone to sleep on these facts years ago, after a period of much misery, her head resting on them as on a pillow; and she had a great dread of being awakened out of so simple and untroublesome a condition. ~ Elizabeth Von Arnim
Being Accepted quotes by Elizabeth Von Arnim
The central part of the state is more remote and less scenic, and there's a huge agricultural belt that stretches from the south of Lake Okeechobee to the border of Everglades National Park, where the restoration effort is being concentrated, .. Obviously the movement to save the Everglades runs up against agricultural concerns. ~ Carl Hiaasen
Being Accepted quotes by Carl Hiaasen
Because shaving and putting on a bunch of foundation every day are emotionally exhausting reminders of being trans, she gets a step removed from them by monologuing like she's explaining them to someone. ~ Imogen Binnie
Being Accepted quotes by Imogen Binnie
Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in my bath and she'd come in and sink my boats. ~ Woody Allen
Being Accepted quotes by Woody Allen
Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity, as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the name Mohammed' ~ Ann Coulter
Being Accepted quotes by Ann Coulter
Just in terms of being able to be a professional artist, but also it's nice to not have to dread introductions. "What you do for a living?" It used to be easier just to tell people that I was a magazine illustrator than try to explain that I did comics, but not the kind of comics that they were used to, and no, it's not pornography, etc. And now people even of our parents' generation are familiar with the term "graphic novel," which is kind of amazing. ~ Adrian Tomine
Being Accepted quotes by Adrian Tomine
The only success worth one's powder was success in the line of one's idiosyncrasy ... what was talent but the art of being completely whatever one happened to be? ~ Henry James
Being Accepted quotes by Henry James
It takes generosity to be the one teaching, and humility to be the one being taught. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Being Accepted quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
When you choose to do a role, I think you can either be that person or have the potential of being that person. ~ Mia Maestro
Being Accepted quotes by Mia Maestro
Do not chase another human being. Instead, chase your curiosity. Chase your development and your goals. Chase your passion. Strive to work for something bigger than yourself, and instead of trying to convince someone that you fit within their world, strive to build your own. ~ Bianca Sparacino
Being Accepted quotes by Bianca Sparacino
Inexplicable: I recently won in court to stop my book "America by Heart" from being leaked, but US Govt can't stop Wikileaks' treasonous act? ~ Sarah Palin
Being Accepted quotes by Sarah Palin
You build a relationship on laughing together, discovering new things you never even imagined you might like, Pride and Prejudice for example, and being welcomed into the heart of each other's families. And, say, you find a woman who likes quiet and won't hold your hand and doesn't believe in love...well, when she finally lets you hold her hand, you'll do anything, anything, to persuade her that love can actually be rather wonderful. ~ Annie Darling
Being Accepted quotes by Annie Darling
People who believe their unquestioned thoughts cannot see what is obvious and directly in front of their faces at all times, because they are invested in what they believe to be true. As long as they live out of an unquestioned mind, they must continue to argue with what they believe is happening rather than the reality of what is really happening. ~ Byron Katie
Being Accepted quotes by Byron Katie
They're scared of death, but that's like being afraid of life. ~ Dominic Riccitello
Being Accepted quotes by Dominic Riccitello
All too frequently in the women's movement it was assumed one could be free of sexist thinking by simply adopting the appropriate feminist rhetoric; it was further assumed that identifying oneself as oppressed freed one from being an oppressor. To a very grave extent such thinking prevented white feminists from understanding and overcoming their own sexist-racist attitudes toward black women. They could pay lip-service to the idea of sisterhood and solidarity between women but at the same time dismiss black women. Just ~ Bell Hooks
Being Accepted quotes by Bell Hooks
Several times in Earth's history, rapid global warming occurred, apparently spurred by amplifying feedbacks. In each case, more than half of plant and animal species became extinct. New species came into being over tens and hundreds of thousands of years. But these are time scales and generations that we cannot imagine. ~ James Hansen
Being Accepted quotes by James Hansen
Not very long after this a very exciting thing happened. Not only Sara, but the entire school, found it exciting, and made it the chief subject of conversation for weeks after it occurred. In one of his letters Captain Crewe told a most interesting story. A friend who had been at school with him when he was a boy had unexpectedly come to see him in India. He was the owner of a large tract of land upon which diamonds had been found, and he was engaged in developing the mines. If all went as was confidently expected, he would become possessed of such wealth as it made one dizzy to think of; and because he was fond of the friend of his school days, he had given him an opportunity to share in this enormous fortune by becoming a partner in his scheme. This, at least, was what Sara gathered from his letters. It is true that any other business scheme, however magnificent, would have had but small attraction for her or for the schoolroom; but "diamond mines" sounded so like the Arabian Nights that no one could be indifferent. Sara thought them enchanting, and painted pictures, for Ermengarde and Lottie, of labyrinthine passages in the bowels of the earth, where sparkling stones studded the walls and roofs and ceilings, and strange, dark men dug them out with heavy picks. Ermengarde delighted in the story, and Lottie insisted on its being retold to her every evening. Lavinia was very spiteful about it, and told Jessie that she didn't believe such things as diamond mines existed. ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
Being Accepted quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
No matter how good a book is, it will lead to negativity when being read by evil people. No matter how evil a book is, it will lead to positivity when being read by good people. ~ Noob Loop
Being Accepted quotes by Noob Loop
I'm thrilled to have a completely new audience that I can get from Court TV, without it being my own trial. That was the only other way I would have gotten it. ~ John Waters
Being Accepted quotes by John Waters
I Nephi, being exeedingly young, nevertheless being large in stature, and also having great desires to know of the mysteries of God, wherefore, I did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me, and did soften my heart that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father; wherefore, I did not rebel against him like unto my brothers. ~ Joseph Smith Jr.
Being Accepted quotes by Joseph Smith Jr.
Being proactive is more than taking initiative. It is recognizing that we are responsible for our own choices and have the freedom to choose based on principles and values rather than on moods or condition. Proactive people are agents of change and choose not to be victims, to be reactive, or to blame others. ~ Stephen Covey
Being Accepted quotes by Stephen Covey
This commitment to truth is something one senses more and more Americans yearning for, just as they are becoming more and more sophisticated at knowing when the truth is being obscured - an irony that seems to elude most of today's elected officials. ~ Michael Musto
Being Accepted quotes by Michael Musto
You want to know how many times a day I question why I'm with you?" "Five times." "A hundred." "If you told me you were going to exaggerate, I would have picked that, but I thought we were being realistic here, hun. ~ Krista Ritchie
Being Accepted quotes by Krista Ritchie
The trouble with not being into social networking is that people think you're anti-social when you're only anti-networking. ~ Robert Breault
Being Accepted quotes by Robert Breault
Your instant reaction to being scared is to pull out a gun on someone? Damn girl, where are you from? Most girls I know squeal or some shit like that. ~ Abbi Glines
Being Accepted quotes by Abbi Glines
No, I'm serious," Frankie insisted, fed up with being silenced. "Why didn't you just make me a normie?"
Viktor sighed. "Because that's not who we are. We're special. And I'm very proud that. You should be, too."
"Proud?" Frankie spat out the word as if it had been soaked in nail polish remover. "How can I be proud when everyone is telling me to hide?"
"I'm telling you to hide so you'll be safe. But you can still feel proud of who you are," he explained, like it really was that simple. "Pride has to come from within you and stay with you, no matter what people say."
Huh?
Frankie crossed her arms and looked away. ~ Lisi Harrison
Being Accepted quotes by Lisi Harrison
One certainty we all accept is the condition of being uncertain and insecure. ~ Doris Lessing
Being Accepted quotes by Doris Lessing
What? she asked, like she was surprised, even though she was fully aware that she was both distracting herself and distancing herself by becoming Therapist Sadie, rather than being Sadie the bag of flail who was marinating in her own lustypants. ~ Maisey Yates
Being Accepted quotes by Maisey Yates
Body', 'soul', and 'spirit' may designate phenomenal domains which can be detached as themes for definite investigations; within certain limits their ontological indefiniteness may not be important. When, however, we come to the question of man's Being, this is not something we can simply compute by adding together those kinds of Being which body, soul, and spirit respectively possess
kinds of being whose nature has not as yet been determined. And even if we should attempt such an ontological procedure, some idea of the Being of the whole must be presupposed. ~ Martin Heidegger
Being Accepted quotes by Martin Heidegger
Miri once told me that there were only four important ques­tions you could ask about any human being: How does he fill up his time? How does he feel about how he fills up his time? What does he love? How does he react to those he perceives as either inferior or superior to him?

If you make people feel inferior, even unintentionally," she had said, her dark eyes intense, "they will be uncomfortable around you. In that situation, some people will attack. Some will ridicule, to 'cut you down to size.' But some will admire, and learn from you. If you make people feel superior, some will react by dis­missing you. Some by wielding power - just because they can - in greater or lesser ways. But some will be moved to protect and help. All this is just as true of a junior lodge clique as of a group of governments. ~ Nancy Kress
Being Accepted quotes by Nancy Kress
Modern Art is being used to index me. Surely it was a source but photographers have influenced Modern Art quite as deeply as they have been influenced, maybe more. Anyway painters don't have a copyright on M. A. We were all born in the same upheaval. ~ Edward Weston
Being Accepted quotes by Edward Weston
I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart. ~ Twyla Tharp
Being Accepted quotes by Twyla Tharp
I believe hip hop is being used in some mass way to influence underachievement. ~ Cee Lo Green
Being Accepted quotes by Cee Lo Green
That was vampires for you: always going for the jugular, both literally and metaphorically. They were messing up his love life as well as being inconsiderate party guests who had got blood in Magnus's stereo system at his last party and turned Clary's idiot friend Stanley into a rat, which was just bad manners. ~ Cassandra Clare
Being Accepted quotes by Cassandra Clare
