For me, college wasn't a breeze. I had 8 o'clock classes, I worked from 3 to 11 at the Settlement House. On weekends, if Northwestern Bell needed me, I'd troubleshoot for them, and I had a steady girl. God! ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
People ask me from time to time what it was like growing up with Henry Fonda as my father. I say, Ever see Fort Apache? He was like Colonel Thursday. ~ Peter Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Peter Fonda
I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda. ~ Eli Wallach
Henry Fonda quotes by Eli Wallach
I must have had faith that day. When I went out, I was Henry Fonda again. An unemployed actor but a man. ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
I knew Henry Fonda was my father, but I didn't know who I was. They all thought of me as Henry Fonda's son. Unfortunately for them, they never got to know me. ~ Peter Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Peter Fonda
My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked. ~ Michael Caine
Henry Fonda quotes by Michael Caine
Being born with a sickly resemblance to Henry Fonda was the first of a long series of practical jokes of which destiny was to make Major Major the unhappy victim throughout his joyless life. Being born Major Major Major was the second ~ Joseph Heller
Henry Fonda quotes by Joseph Heller
No one could have nicer sisters. No sibling problems there. ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
If I have enough ego to say I'm a writer, a director, a producer, and an actor, I should have the energy and the knowledge to write a scene for this great actor named Henry Fonda and direct him in it and have it work. ~ Peter Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Peter Fonda
I've been close to Bette Davis for thirty-eight years - and I have the cigarette burns to prove it. ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
My whole damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's true. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my relatives were Readers or Practitioners in the church. ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
Well you're talking about a long career, a lot of movies, a lot of stars. I guess working with Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn was a great privilege. ~ Mark Rydell
Henry Fonda quotes by Mark Rydell
Ford didn't know what to do with Mister Roberts that wasn't repeating what was successful in New York. He was trying to do things to the play that would be his in the film. ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
Bogart was like Henry Fonda - proud and happy to be an actor. ~ Katharine Hepburn
Henry Fonda quotes by Katharine Hepburn
Getting out from under the shadow of Henry Fonda was difficult. ~ Peter Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Peter Fonda
What had happened, for instance, at one of the war's biggest battles, the Battle of Midway? It was in the Pacific, there was something about aircraft carriers. Wasn't there a movie about it, one of those Hollywood all-star behemoths in which a lot of admirals look worried while pushing toy ships around a map? (Midway, released in 1976 and starring Glenn Ford, Charlton Heston, and -- inevitably -- Henry Fonda.) A couple of people were even surprised to hear that Midway Airport was named after the battle, though they'd walked past the ugly commemorative sculpture in the concourse so many times. All in all, this was a dispiriting exercise. The astonishing events of that morning, the "fatal five minutes" on which the war and the fate of the world hung, had been reduced to a plaque nobody reads, at an airport with a vaguely puzzling name, midway between Chicago and nowhere at all. ~ Lee Sandlin
Henry Fonda quotes by Lee Sandlin
Clarence Darrow was a unique and courageous man. Several of my favourite actors have played Darrow ... Henry Fonda, Orson Welles and Spencer Tracy. ~ Kevin Spacey
Henry Fonda quotes by Kevin Spacey
But he had always believed in fighting for the underdog, against the top dog. He had learned it, not from The Home, or The School, or The Church, but from that fourth and other great moulder of social conscience, The Movies. From all those movies that had begun to come out when Roosevelt went in.
He had been a kid back then, a kid who had not been on the bum yet, but he was raised up on all those movies that they made then, the ones that were between '32 and '37 and had not yet degenerated into commercial imitations of themselves like the Dead End Kid perpetual series that we have now. He had grown up with them, those movies like the every first Dead End, like Winternet, like Grapes Of Wrath, like Dust Be My Destiny, and those other movies starring John Garfield and the Lane girls, and the on-the-bum and prison pictures starring James Cagney and George Raft and Henry Fonda. ~ James Jones
Henry Fonda quotes by James Jones
Looking is an important part of Stanwyck's acting: many performers have beautiful eyes (for example, Henry Fonda), or use their eyes expressively (most remarkably, perhaps, Bette Davis), but few use them so attentively to observe and survey others and the world [as Stanwyck]. ~ Andrew Klevan
Henry Fonda quotes by Andrew Klevan
I'd just as soon not get into a discussion about Jane and her politics. I'd just as soon stick to what we're here for, the picture. ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
The buried code of many American films has become: If I kill you, I have won and you have lost. The instinctive ethical code of traditional Hollywood, the code by which characters like James Stewart, John Wayne and Henry Fonda lived, has been lost. ~ Roger Ebert
Henry Fonda quotes by Roger Ebert
I don't know what was in his mind, but I do know Ford was stricken by what he had done, by hitting me. ~ Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Fonda
We don't have to relive the sad and bad memories of Christmas Past. We can create new Christmas memories in the present for the future. ~ Tom North
Henry Fonda quotes by Tom North
I always hated when the studios just kind of said that anybody can act. You look at people like Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda - and I'm just talking about the male actors - there aren't a lot who can act. It's a very special talent, and I wish it were recognized as a very special talent. ~ Bob Newhart
Henry Fonda quotes by Bob Newhart
If Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda had a baby, it would be Matthew Modine. ~ Stanley Kubrick
Henry Fonda quotes by Stanley Kubrick
A salesman, like the storage battery in your car, is constantly discharging energy. Unless he is recharged at frequent intervals he soon runs dry. This is one of the greatest responsibilities of sales leadership. ~ Robert Henry Grant
Henry Fonda quotes by Robert Henry Grant
There were some things that needed to be said even if the person you were saying them to didn't understand; words that must be released from their trapped place where their flapping to get out could cause internal damage. ~ Patti Callahan Henry
Henry Fonda quotes by Patti Callahan Henry
There is no history of how bad became better. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. there is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there. ~ Henry Miller
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Miller
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery. ~ Henry Moore
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Moore
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
During the next four years ... unless drastic steps are taken by Congress, the U.S. will have nearly 8,000,000 unemployed and will stand on the brink of a deep depression. ~ Henry A. Wallace
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry A. Wallace
No man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else. ~ Henry Adams
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Adams
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
I really like older writers, perhaps because they take me out of my element. I don't have a great deal of interest in reading a fictionalized present as it's pretty insane as it is. ~ Henry Rollins
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Rollins
All great men have declared that they owe their sucess to the aid and encouragement of some brilliant woman. ~ O. Henry
Henry Fonda quotes by O. Henry
Henceforth the adequacy of any military establishment will be tested by its ability to preserve the peace. ~ Henry A. Kissinger
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry A. Kissinger
The real distinction is between those who adapt their purposes to reality and those who seek to mold reality in the light of their purposes. ~ Henry A. Kissinger
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry A. Kissinger
If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist ... I, a socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the way to communism. ~ Jane Fonda
Henry Fonda quotes by Jane Fonda
It was soon evident in my lodgings that I had become a dangerous lunatic, and there would be nothing left to destroy if strong measures were not taken. So I was turned out of the house, but it was only into the garden, where I was allowed to build a small darkroom of oilcloth. ~ Henry Peach Robinson
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Peach Robinson
There was a sylvan attitude of somnolent sleepiness pervading that section of the external outward surface of Alabama that lay exposed to my view. ~ O. Henry
Henry Fonda quotes by O. Henry
Susceptibility to the highest forces is the highest genius. ~ Henry Adams
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Adams
We can't take a slipshod and easygoing attitude toward education in this country. And by "we" I don't mean "somebody else," but I mean me and I mean you. It is the future of our country-yours and mine-which is at stake. ~ Henry Ford II
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Ford II
And once I knew a meditative rose That never raised its head from bowing down, Yet drew its inspiration from the stars. It bloomed and faded here beside the road, And, being a poet, wrote on empty air With fragrance all the beauty of its soul. ~ Henry Abbey
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Abbey
I was not born to be forced. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Sometimes we are inclined to class those who are once-and-a-half witted with the half-witted, because we appreciate only a third part of their wit. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
When I die, I want to die in a Utopia that I have helped to build. ~ Henry Kuttner
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Kuttner
I try to be well informed. I don't know how well I do all the time, but I try nonetheless. ~ Henry Rollins
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Rollins
Text to world connection
I chose the permafrost for the world's news. The permafrost is melting and it could exacerbate the global warming. It is important because everyone knows that global warming is the serious problem and if the permafrost melts, then the current sea surface rise and also it will cause more natural disasters such as flood or earthquake. ~ Henry Lee
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Lee
Now and then, someone is able to look at an empty space, conclude it would be a great place to start a revolution, and bravely go forward. ~ Henry Rollins
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Rollins
He'd been down at the Cass County Library, reading...Win danced a jig he thought that was so funny...about this cat Henry David Thoreau, which he pronounced Toe-Row. He read about his life and read some of his writings and this cat really had his shit together...Toe-Row knew better than anybody that Life is a Big Fat Asshole with everybody trying to Stick It To You when they get half the chance. ~ Joe Eszterhas
Henry Fonda quotes by Joe Eszterhas
With one eye on today's blessings you will have more staying power for the distant goal. ~ Henry B. Eyring
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry B. Eyring
If however the law is so promulgated that it of necessity makes you an agent of injustices against another, then I say to you ... break the law. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
It made Alice realize how much of life was full of empty stuff, objects longed for because the hope of them made your small life seem bigger, better, brighter. ~ Christina Henry
Henry Fonda quotes by Christina Henry
Anyone can buy CG technology. It's not that it's easy to make those films. Those films are just as difficult, they're incredibly hard to make. ~ Henry Selick
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Selick
This world is magnificent for strangers and pilgrims, but miserable for residents. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act according to their beliefs. ~ Henry Miller
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Miller
You conquer fate through thought ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
The short successes that can be gained in a brief time and without difficulty, are not worth much. ~ Henry Ford
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Ford
Will punk rock ever die? Pal, if you have to ask it's dead to you. ~ Henry Rollins
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Rollins
The observance of the laws of Christ cannot be less necessary than the observance of the laws of Moses was. ~ Matthew Henry
Henry Fonda quotes by Matthew Henry
You would rather pay $50 a month for a cable modem than a free voiceband modem because of the attractiveness of that broadband connection. ~ Henry Samueli
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry Samueli
Anyone who enters into an intimate relationship with God can see God do exceptional things through his or her life. The outcome does not depend upon a person being unusually gifted, educated, or wealthy. The key is the indwelling presence of God doing unusual things ~ Henry T. Blackaby
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry T. Blackaby
Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to be on the alert to point out its faults, and do better than it would have them? ~ Henry David Thoreau
Henry Fonda quotes by Henry David Thoreau
