The horror of Gandhi's murder lies not in the political motives behind it or in its consequences for Indian policy or for the future of non-violence; the horror lies simply in the fact that any man could look into the face of this extraordinary person and deliberately pull a trigger. ~ Mary McCarthy
Extraordinary Person quotes by Mary McCarthy
Today people look at me, at my job and my Ivy League credentials, and assume that I'm some sort of genius, that only a truly extraordinary person could have made it to where I am today. With all due respect to those people, I think that theory is a load of bullshit. Whatever ~ J.D. Vance
Extraordinary Person quotes by J.D. Vance
If you pursue happiness, you are an ordinary person. If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person. Do not chase happiness; let it chase you. ~ Peter Deunov
Extraordinary Person quotes by Peter Deunov
If you think that you are an extraordinary person you are definitely right because every existence represents a miracle and every miracle is extraordinary by definition! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Extraordinary Person quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
I stand on the shoulders of countless people, yet there is one extraordinary person who is my life aspiration. That person is my mother, Celina Sotomayor. ~ Sonia Sotomayor
Extraordinary Person quotes by Sonia Sotomayor
I'd rather be an ordinary person doing extraordinary things, than being an extraordinary person doing ordinary things. ~ Kenneth G. Ortiz
Extraordinary Person quotes by Kenneth G. Ortiz
It's time to stop being vague. If you wish to be an extraordinary person, if you wish to be wise, then you should explicitly identify the kind of person you aspire to become. ~ Epictetus
Extraordinary Person quotes by Epictetus
He who prides himself an extraordinary person by his deeds is rejected by the world; he who has independent ideas is hated by the mass. ~ Shang Yang
Extraordinary Person quotes by Shang Yang
When we set about accounting for a Napoleon or a Shakespeare or a Raphael or a Wagner or an Edison or other extraordinary person, we understand that the measure of his talent will not explain the whole result, nor even the largest part of it; no, it is the atmosphere in which the talent was cradled that explains; it is the training it received while it grew, the nurture it got from reading, study, example, the encouragement it gathered from self-recognition and recognition from the outside at each stage of its development: when we know all these details, then we know why the man was ready when his opportunity came. ~ Mark Twain
Extraordinary Person quotes by Mark Twain
Everything you have read, heard, or wished to be true about Audrey Hepburn, doesn't come close to how wonderful she was. There's not a human being on earth that was kinder, more gentle, more caring, more giving, brighter, and more modest than Audrey. She was just an extraordinary, extraordinary person. Everyone should know that. ~ Sam Wasson
Extraordinary Person quotes by Sam Wasson
I really cannot understand the point of what you're saying. Really,' said Clotilde, looking at her. 'What a very extraordinary person you are. What sort of a woman are you? Why are you talking like this? Who are you?'
Miss Marple pulled down the mass of pink wool that encircled her head, a pink wool scarf of the same kind that she had once worn in the West Indies.
'One of my names,' she said, 'is Nemesis.'
'Nemesis? And what does that mean?'
'I think you know,' said Miss Marple. 'You are a very well educated woman. Nemesis is long delayed sometimes, but it comes in the end. ~ Agatha Christie
Extraordinary Person quotes by Agatha Christie
When you meet an extraordinary person, it's like they get inside you, under your ribs, and shuffle everything inside you around until they find space for greatness to grow. But extraordinary people always get away. And when they leave, they take that little part of you with them. Suddenly you find yourself with a gap in your chest that you don't know how to live with. Suddenly you're frightened of being yourself without them. ~ Chloe Rattray
Extraordinary Person quotes by Chloe Rattray
It wasn't hard to find such data. For example, between 1948 and 1954, psychologists asked more than 10,000 adolescents whether they considered theymselves to be a very important person. At that point, 12 percent said yes. The same question was revisited in 1989, and this time it wasn't 12 percent who considered themselves very important, it was 80 percent of boys and 77 percent of girls. Psychologists have a thing called the narcissism test. They read people statements and ask if the statements apply to them. Statements such as "I like to be the center of attention ... I show off if I get the chance because I am extraordinary ... Somebody should write a biography about me." The median narcissism score has risen 30 percent in the last two decades. Ninety-three percent of young people score higher than the middle score just twenty years ago.4 The largest gains have been in the number of people who agree with the statements "I am an extraordinary person" and "I like to look at my body. ~ David Brooks
Extraordinary Person quotes by David Brooks
One of the great joys of falling in love is the feeling that the most extraordinary person in the entire world has chosen you. ~ Gretchen Rubin
Extraordinary Person quotes by Gretchen Rubin
The fates of people and of states, of entire civilizations, can depend on whether an extraordinary person can bring forth the proper strength of soul and action. Normal minds and spirits, no matter how numerous, cannot replace such a person. ~ Jacob Burckhardt
Extraordinary Person quotes by Jacob Burckhardt
Just try to make the world a better place for your having been here. ~ Jimmy Doolittle
Extraordinary Person quotes by Jimmy Doolittle
In troubled times the efforts of one extraordinary person can turn the tide ~ Sara Donovan
Extraordinary Person quotes by Sara Donovan
You cannot have a great love relationship with an extraordinary person if you behave in a stereotypical way. ~ Sahara Sanders
Extraordinary Person quotes by Sahara Sanders
For me, the difference between an 'ordinary' and an 'extraordinary' person is not the title that person might have, but what they do to make the world a better place for us all. ~ Jody Williams
Extraordinary Person quotes by Jody Williams
Richard A. Posner is an extraordinary person. If he did not exist, it would be hard to believe that he could. ( ... ) He writes with a flair that puts most journalists to shame and a depth of knowledge that puts most professors to shame. ~ Alan Ryan
Extraordinary Person quotes by Alan Ryan
I mean, I don't think I'm alone when I look at the homeless person or the bum or the psychotic or the drunk or the drug addict or the criminal and see their baby pictures in my mind's eye. You don't think they were cute like every other baby? ~ Dustin Hoffman
Extraordinary Person quotes by Dustin Hoffman
Every person faces their own unique challenges and you may not always know what others around you are going through. ~ Avril Lavigne
Extraordinary Person quotes by Avril Lavigne
I was in Sarasota, Florida, on a spring-break trip with my friends Bruce and Karen Moore. Bruce and I were waiting on the beach for the rest of our crew when and a man and his grown kids came strolling up the sand. They looked at me for a minute, sort of hesitating, and then asked, "Would you mind taking a picture?" "Sure," I said, and quickly arranged all of us in a line, putting myself in the middle and motioning to Bruce to come snap the photo. Right about that time, the father said, "Actually, we were wondering if you could take a picture just of us." An understandable mistake on my part, but really embarrassing. Bruce has had a field day reminding me of that one ever since.

Lesson learned: Never assume anything about your own importance. It's a great big world, and all of us are busy living our lives. None of us knows all the time and effort that another person puts into his or her passion. ~ Amy Grant
Extraordinary Person quotes by Amy Grant
Comedy today is definitely skewed to the filthy side, but it's not as hard today as I am more mature as a comedian and a person. I'm a grown up now doing a kid's job. Being a more mature Christian these days makes it easier than when I first started. Now I get to do shows of my choosing and a lot of folks attending the shows know my work and expect a clean show. ~ Henry Cho
Extraordinary Person quotes by Henry Cho
I know I am not an easy person to care for, or an easy friend to have, but you have never once made me feel that way ~ Sarah J. Maas
Extraordinary Person quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Ten years from now, her mother might not even recognize her. Already she was different, but the day would come when she'd be this person her mother had never seen. There would be other people - someone like Carolyn or Alan, or even Violet - who had known her longer than her mother ever did. ~ Joyce Maynard
Extraordinary Person quotes by Joyce Maynard
You will speed up your growth by being selfish. So imagine that the people you're looking at can actually take care of themselves. And if you ask for what you want and trust that the other person will say yes or no powerfully, it will make things very interesting. ~ Neil Strauss
Extraordinary Person quotes by Neil Strauss
It should know that any strange and much-talked-of event is always followed by imitations, the world being so well supplied with excitable people who only need a little stirring up to make them lose what is left of their heads and do things which they would not have thought of ordinarily. It should know that if a man jump off Brooklyn Bridge another will imitate him; that if a person venture down Niagara Whirlpool in a barrel another will imitate him; that if a Jack the Ripper make notoriety by slaughtering women in dark alleys he will be imitated; that if a man attempt a king's life and the newspapers carry the noise of it around the globe, regicides will crop up all around. ~ Mark Twain
Extraordinary Person quotes by Mark Twain
And now I knew myself to be generous with encouragement only when I either did not want the thing the other person sought of did not believe the person would really get it. ~ Curtis Sittenfeld
Extraordinary Person quotes by Curtis Sittenfeld
I envy my Jewish friends the ritual of saying kaddish - a ritual that seems perfectly conceived, with its built-in support group and its ceremonious designation of time each day devoted to remembering the lost person. ~ Meghan O'Rourke
Extraordinary Person quotes by Meghan O'Rourke
The camera has always been a guide, and it's allowed me to see things and focus on things that maybe an average person wouldn't even notice. ~ Don Chadwick
Extraordinary Person quotes by Don Chadwick
How rare it is, even among Christians, for a person to say I was wrong. I sinned, and I'm fully responsible. My sinful desires motivated me, and what I did dishonored God and hurt you. Please forgive me. ~ Joshua Harris
Extraordinary Person quotes by Joshua Harris
I don't feel like literature has the power to alienate. I think that's something people feel if they don't connect with a work of art. But I don't think a work of art can actively reject the person who's looking at it or reading it. ~ Eleanor Catton
Extraordinary Person quotes by Eleanor Catton
I am a demanding person to interview. ~ Nico Rosberg
Extraordinary Person quotes by Nico Rosberg
With the adult ones, I feel I need to get as deep inside the psychology of a character as I can, and that needs to be first-person. In the children's books, I feel I need some distance. I don't want to be the nine-year-old at the center of the story. I need to have some type of narrative voice. ~ John Boyne
Extraordinary Person quotes by John Boyne
I learned that not only had he never been in a relationship, he had also never came out publicly as a gay man. But in a way, he'd had no reason to do so- he hadn't had sex in three-and-a-half decades, he told me. At first, I did not believe him; such a monk like existence- devoted solely to work, reading, writing, thinking- seemed at once awe-inspiring and inconceivable. He was without a doubt the most unusual person I had ever known, and before long I found myself not just falling in love with O; it was something more, something I had never experienced before. I adored him. ~ Bill Hayes
Extraordinary Person quotes by Bill Hayes
When phobia starts to build up in the psyche of thinking humanity against a part of its own kind, there is nothing more primordial and gruesome than that, especially when we are talking about a species that is supposedly the most intelligent one on Earth. Phobias recorded in DSM do not make a person lesser human, but Islamophobia does indeed define whether a person is really a thinking and sentient sapiens or an ignorant caveman. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Extraordinary Person quotes by Abhijit Naskar
As long as you promise we'll be together forever." Her smile provided all the answer he needed. "You never give up, do you?" "A giving-up person is not a snake-catching kind of person, and I, Macy LeGrange, am a snake-catching kind of person." He shrugged his slim shoulders. "Ain't never gonna change my mind about you. And if you decide not to have me in this life, you'll have me in the next - 'cause we're all hoop snakes in the end." He ~ Anne McAneny
Extraordinary Person quotes by Anne McAneny
A person who's looking at a mountain far away doesn't notice the prettiness of a dandelion in front of them. A person who's looking at a dandelion in front of them doesn't see the beauty of a mountain far away. ~ Naoki Higashida
Extraordinary Person quotes by Naoki Higashida
To find beauty in everyone you must see beauty in everyone, then announce that you see it, for in announcing it, you place it there in their reality. Make it your life's mission today to bring to the attention of another just how extraordinary they are. Say it. Say it. SAY it. Their heart is waiting to know that their own best thought about themselves can be believed. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Extraordinary Person quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
It never failed to amaze me how the most ordinary day could be catapulted into the extraordinary in the blink of an eye. ~ Jodi Picoult
Extraordinary Person quotes by Jodi Picoult
To affirm a person is to see the good in them that they cannot see in themselves and to repeat it in spite of appearances to the contrary. Please, this is not some Pollyanna optimism that is blind to the reality of evil, but rather like a fine radar system that is tuned in to the true, the good, and the beautiful. ~ Brennan Manning
Extraordinary Person quotes by Brennan Manning
It's not ever easy telling a person what they don't want to hear. Because we love them! There will be times; we have to do things in life that will break our own heart. ~ Ron Baratono
Extraordinary Person quotes by Ron Baratono
Amid this constant physical presence of fellow human beings, we gaze inward, trying to absorb what has happened with our lives and why the person we love the most is not here. ~ Linda Collins
Extraordinary Person quotes by Linda Collins
We can hardly get up in the morning or cross the street without being Jewish. We dream Jewish dreams and hope Jewish hopes. Most of our best words, in fact - new, adventure, surprise; unique, individual, person, vocation; time, history, future; freedom, progress, spirit; faith, hope, justice - are the gifts of the Jews. ~ Thomas Cahill
Extraordinary Person quotes by Thomas Cahill
A person must constantly work to develop their self to the fullest embodiment of a human being though their acts of love, compassion, and dutiful work. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Extraordinary Person quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Ordinary people are products of their environment. Extraordinary people make their environments products of them. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Extraordinary Person quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Life wanted faces that would express what we wanted to tell. Not just the unusual or striking face, but the face that would speak out the message from the printed page. I am always looking for some typical person or face that will tie the picture essay together in a human way. ~ Margaret Bourke-White
Extraordinary Person quotes by Margaret Bourke-White
The hardest lesson you will ever learn will be to love yourself. But you can do it. There will always be days when you hate yourself, days when you wish you had never been born. But darling, you are beautiful, and if Shakespeare had met you, you would've inspired his 18th sonnet, and if Monet had known you, he would've given up painting water lilies and chosen to paint you instead. I know it's hard to love yourself, but sometimes it's okay to be a little selfish with your love..

When you begin to feel worthless, remember that the stars died for you. You are made of elements that are thousands of years old, elements that make up every atom of your being. When you want to cut your wrists, remember that the souls of stars live in your veins. Don't kill them.

Live for the life you always wanted but were too scared to pursue.
Live for you. Live for me. Live for every person who has ever loved you, for the people who have come before you, so that you may be here today.
Live for the fire that burns in your soul, that tells you: keep going, you're almost there, just a little farther.

Because when Rome burned down the emperor didn't run away, he stayed and he sang for his people. Stay. Sing for your people. Sing for us. ~ M.K.
Extraordinary Person quotes by M.K.
All the books of the world full of thoughts and poems are nothing in comparison to a minute of sobbing, when feeling surges in waves, the soul feels itself profoundly and finds itself. Tears are the melting ice of snow. All angels are close to the crying person. ~ Hermann Hesse
Extraordinary Person quotes by Hermann Hesse
Witnessing the moonrise each month, a person cannot resist noting a modest sense of optimism tugging at his or her enclosed capsule of bodily fluids. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Extraordinary Person quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I've never written a song that's hopeless. I'm not a hopeless person. I'm crazily optimistic. I crazily see the good in people. - singer Michael Stipe of R.E.M. Focusing on the tiniest details, finding magic in even the smallest inspirations, embracing the briefest moments-that's where passion is. ~ Linda Kaplan Thaler
Extraordinary Person quotes by Linda Kaplan Thaler
Doing something because God has said to do it does not make a person moral: it merely tells us that person is a prudential believer, akin to the person who obeys the command of an all-powerful secular king. ~ Alan Dershowitz
Extraordinary Person quotes by Alan Dershowitz
Each person decides in early childhood how he will live and how he will die ... His trivial behavior may be decided by reason, but his important decisions have already been made: what kind of person he will marry, how many children he will have, what kind of bed he will die in ... It is incredible to think, at first, that man's fate, all his nobility and all his degradation, is decided by a child no more than six years old, and usually three ... (but) it is very easy to believe by looking at what is happening in the world today, and what happened yesterday, and seeing what will happen tomorrow. ~ Eric Berne
Extraordinary Person quotes by Eric Berne
Well, it's a sad day when I'm the nicest person you know."

-Jonas ~ K.F. Breene
Extraordinary Person quotes by K.F. Breene
My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He'd play mind games to make sure I knew my place. I don't see him, which is unfortunate. But I don't have any desire to see him. I vaguely know where he is, and I don't want to know. ~ Macaulay Culkin
Extraordinary Person quotes by Macaulay Culkin
So, why do I have so much fear in my life?"
"Because you don't believe. You don't know that we love you. The person who lives by his fears will not find freedom in my love. I am not talking about rational fears regarding legitimate dangers, but imagined fears, and especially the projection of those into the future. To the degree that those fears have a place in your life, you neither believe that I am good not know deep in your heart that I love you. You sing about it, you talk about it, but you don't know it. ~ Wm. Paul Young
Extraordinary Person quotes by Wm. Paul Young
The experience of reading a book is always unique. I believe that you render a version of the story, when you read a book, in a way that is unique and special to each person who reads it. ~ Carlton Cuse
Extraordinary Person quotes by Carlton Cuse
Of course, one person can be the world. ~ Ally Condie
Extraordinary Person quotes by Ally Condie
It reflects no great honor on a painter to be able to execute only one thing well
such as a head, an academy figure, or draperies, animals, landscapes, or the like
in other words, confining himself to some particular object of study. This is so because there is scarcely a person so devoid of genius as to fail of success if he applies himself earnestly to one branch of study and practices it continually. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Extraordinary Person quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
Oprah is a wealthy person, pack leader of the human world. So many see her as the dominant one, as the authority figure. The way I view her energy, seeing her on TV, is a very calm, quiet energy. You need, in order to gain control, higher energy than your dog. ~ Cesar Millan
Extraordinary Person quotes by Cesar Millan
I'm not really a 'puppet' person in particular; I think they are very theatrical, and I've found different uses for them in shows, but my true interest is in writing Broadway musicals. ~ Robert Lopez
Extraordinary Person quotes by Robert Lopez
The type of person who will always be your friend, for as long as you can stand to keep disappointing her. ~ Dan Chaon
Extraordinary Person quotes by Dan Chaon
Then the necessary decline of non-voluntary learning and rise of the self-assured will which perfects itself in the glorious sunlight of the free person may be somewhat expressed as follows: knowledge must die and rise again as will and create itself anew each day as a free person. ~ Max Stirner
Extraordinary Person quotes by Max Stirner
I'm a person who is always trying to write in a different vein. ~ Earl King
Extraordinary Person quotes by Earl King
When you've found out that the person you love loves you, you can't
delay. You have to hurry. ~ Alex Flinn
Extraordinary Person quotes by Alex Flinn
I believe one of the best preparations for marriage is participating in a small group. If a person has learned to be intimate and honest with a few friends before they get married, they will have less reason to fear intimacy after they are married. ~ Andy Stanley
Extraordinary Person quotes by Andy Stanley
Fear of success is one of the new fears I've heard about lately. And I think its definitely a sign that we're running out of fears. A person suffering from fear of success is scraping the bottom of the fear barrel. ~ Jerry Seinfeld
Extraordinary Person quotes by Jerry Seinfeld
Sometimes you are the only toxic person you need to cut off your life, and I hope that one day you will be brave enough to admit it … ~ Samiha Totanji
Extraordinary Person quotes by Samiha Totanji
