If you're waiting for the job, you're dead. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
Interesting, but she could see that the boy didn't have a single lie in him. A very rare condition, especially for the male of the species. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Perhaps I was drawn to stories in which people found their true desires because I was a stranger to myself. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
The American government has been harvesting the Middle Eastern grapes of wrath for a generation and not making a secret of it, either. As lousy as the mass media may be, there was enough news about what was transpiring, year after year, to get the gist of what was happening ... No American can truthfully say that they could not find out what was going on ... ~ Nicholas Von Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Nicholas Von Hoffman
Marcelina loved that miniscule, precise moment when the needle entered her face. It was silver; it was pure. It was the violence that healed, the violation that brought perfection. There was no pain, never any pain, only a sense of the most delicate of penetrations, like a mosquito exquisitely sipping blood, a precision piece of human technology slipping between the gross tissues and cells of her flesh. She could see the needle out of the corner of her eye; in the foreshortened reality of the ultra-close-up it was like the stem of a steel flower. The latex-gloved hand that held the syringe was as vast as the creating hand of God: Marcelina had watched it swim across her field of vision, seeking its spot, so close, so thrillingly, dangerously close to her naked eyeball. And then the gentle stab. Always she closed her eyes as the fingers applied pressure to the plunger. She wanted to feel the poison entering her flesh, imagine it whipping the bloated, slack, lazy cells into panic, the washes of immune response chemicals as they realized they were under toxic attack; the blessed inflammation, the swelling of the wrinkled, lined skin into smoothness, tightness, beauty, youth.

Marcelina Hoffman was well on her way to becoming a Botox junkie.

Such a simple treat; the beauty salon was on the same block as Canal Quatro. Marcelina had pioneered the lunch-hour face lift to such an extent that Lisandra had appropriated it as the premise for an entire series. Whore. ~ Ian McDonald
Hoffman quotes by Ian McDonald
He opened his eyes for an instant. Other people were writing and melting, but my brother stopped his flight long enough to look at me. An instant that would have to last forever. And then the flames rose higher and my brother was gone. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
The only problem with getting married is that we can't fornicate anymore. ~ David Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by David Hoffman
Mean people are meaningless. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
If we had no hurt and no sin to speak of, we'd be angels, and amgels can't love the way men and women do. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
If you tried to right all the wrongs in the world you'd exhaust yourself in under an hour. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Relationship builders, on the other hand, try to help other people first. They don't keep score. They're aware that many good deeds get reciprocated, but they're not calculated about it. And they think about their relationships all the time, not just when they need something. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
The nature of love had totally escaped her until now. She had thought that if you lost it, you could never get it back, like a stone thrown down a well. But it was like the water at the bottom of the well, there when you can't even see it, shifting in the dark. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
There is no best anything in art. Phillip [Hoffman] isn't better than Heath [Ledger]; Joaquin [Phoenix] isn't better than David [Strathairn] or Terence [Howard]. They aren't better than me. We all do different things. It's more of a celebration of a lot of great work than to give the gold to somebody. The underappreciated factor certainly has gone away. ~ Jeff Daniels
Hoffman quotes by Jeff Daniels
The best way to educate oneself is to become part of the revolution. ~ Abbie Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Abbie Hoffman
When a star reaches for you, it is difficult to look away. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Blame is for God and small children. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
I want to thank my parents for not practicing birth control. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
Pay attention to your culture and your hires from the very beginning. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
It is a sunny fall afternoon and I'm engaged in one of my favorite pastimes - picking chestnuts. I'm playing alone under the spreading, leafy, protective tree. My mother is sitting on a bench nearby, rocking the buggy in which my sister is asleep. The city, beyond the lacy wall of trees, is humming with gentle noises. The sun has just passed its highest point and is warming me with intense, oblique rays. I pick up a reddish brown chestnut, and suddenly, through its warm skin, I feel the beat as if of a heart. But the beat is also in everything around me, and everything pulsates and shimmers as if it were coursing with the blood of life. Stooping under the tree, I'm holding life in my hand, and I am in the center of a harmonious, vibrating transparency. For that moment, I know everything there is to know. I have stumbled into the very center of plenitude, and I hold myself still with fulfillment, before the knowledge of my knowledge escapes me. ~ Eva Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Eva Hoffman
That's the way love sounds, my mother told me. You think it should feel like honey, but instead it cuts like a knife. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Murdering anything is just plain criminal, but a Southerner murdering a magnolia? Well, that's an unforgivable sacrilege against nautre and the South. ~ Beth Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Beth Hoffman
In the garden where the lilacs were so tall it was impossible to see the road. The leaves were dusty, the way they always were in August when the weather turned hot. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
There will be beautiful times and tough times, as such is life, but if your heart is in it, then it is worth it all the way. ~ Irena A. Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Irena A. Hoffman
As Hoffman later lamented, The reality distortion field can serve as a spur, but then reality itself hits. ~ Joanna Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Joanna Hoffman
People compared Garden State to the Graduate, but when was the last time you saw Dustin Hoffman doing what I do? ~ Zach Braff
Hoffman quotes by Zach Braff
I'm sixty-eight, I cry every chance I can. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
It isn't a big jump in the imagination to see yourself living alone like Mr Hoppy. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
Do what you want, do what you will, do what you have to, do what you think you cannot. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
The real secret of Silicon Valley is that it's really all about the people ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
Why look any further if you've discovered complete satisfaction. ~ Eva Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Eva Hoffman
Each morning when I arrive, the doves know me; their song rises and falls with pleasure and acceptance. It is always there, a river of sound. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
When you have an idea, a classic entrepreneurial impulse is to hold the idea close to you and not tell people and that's almost always a mistake. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
I'm fated to lose everyone I ever love, April said. I already know that.
Of course you are, Jet responded in her calm, measured tone. That's what it means to be alive. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
But in battle you cannot tell another when it is his time to enter the World-to-Come, nor is it possible to keep any man in this world when he wishes to leave it behind. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
The Bible says that man lying with another man as with a woman is an abomination. I have never lain with a man as if he were a woman. I have no interest in such a thing. If I lie with a woman, it is because she is a woman and I want to treat her as one. If I lie with a man, it is because he is a man and I want to treat him as one. ~ W.A. Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by W.A. Hoffman
You don't need wealth to appreciate something beautiful. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
I thought about how it was impossible to forget, no matter how hard anyone might try. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Relatively few people should start companies. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
That's why it's much better not to have friends if you have the strength of character to do without them. In the end friends always turn into a nuisance of one kind or another. But if you must have them let them alone and accept that you must allow everyone the right to exist in accordance with the character he has, whatever it turns out to be. ~ Paul Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Paul Hoffman
So, most of it was done over the phone. But one of the first things I did as a director, because it's one of the first things you should do, even though most don't, is to ask good actors who they think is right for the part. They know better than anybody. But without missing a beat Maggie said Pauline Collins. I didn't know Pauline because I hadn't seen Shirley Valentine, but then I saw this thing that she did with Woody Allen [You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger], in which she was wonderful as a psychic, and I said to her on the phone: "The dialogue seemed improvised." ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
Life actors never rehearse and need no script. A life actor uses only what is available, nothing more, nothing less. ~ Abbie Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Abbie Hoffman
The future was spun from moments like this. If she backed away, it might all unravel. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
There's things that you don't want to do and they keep haunting you and following you. Bennett Miller directed this project [Capote], who is a friend of mine since I was 16, and Danny Futterman wrote it, and he's also been a friend of mine since I was 16. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
I want to see her naked, " Mengele said pointing to Marlene. She cried and shock. My mother flung her body in front of Marlene's and said, "You can't have her. I love her, my daughter." My father said, "Take the younger one. She's smarter, " as he pushed me over forward.
Marlene cried because father said I was smarter even though he was just trying to manipulate Mengele. The doctor's chest grew large. ~ Wendy Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Wendy Hoffman
They sealed this promise by hooking pinkies, the way they used to, long ago, when promises didn't hurt as much. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Be persistent, and hang on to your vision. And at the same time, be flexible. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
My guard will run you through if he catches you looking at my face," said Arianna.
"I don't think so. I think it might be treason to kill a duke," said Luciano.
"But you're not a duke," said Arianna.
"I will be if you marry me," said Luciano.
"Yes, you would be," said Arianna.
"Would?"
"If you are asking me."
"I'm asking."
"And if I accepted."
"Do you?"
"I do. With all my heart. ~ Mary Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Mary Hoffman
Ultimately, I think writing is a mixture of craft, inspiration, and being incredibly, courageously explorative with yourself - and being brutally honest, too. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Never tie your happiness to the end of someone else's kite. ~ Beth Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Beth Hoffman
Everything in life has some risk, and what you have to actually learn to do is how to navigate it. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
It's not easy. It never is. That is the secret our parents fail to tell us, out of kindness and love, but it's a secret we need to know. Everything that begins, ends. Everything beautiful disappears. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
A little-known company with a realistic framework that appeals to entrepreneurial employees is going to be more attractive than a famous company that treats its people like disposable assets. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
My God, Cale, if you only knew with what little sense the world is run. There has been no disaster visited on mankind that was not warned of by someone - never, not in all the history of the world. And no one who ever gave such warnings and was proved right ever got any good out of it. ~ Paul Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Paul Hoffman
She's not a demon, she's a woman," my mother said sadly. "In this case, that's worse. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
He is not a challenge, he is not a conquest. You were once that for him, back when he used to call you a little beast and defeated you handily, time and again. You got the feeling over time and then again that he didn't want to win, when he sparred with you. That was the motivation you needed. The opportunity presented itself; his weakness presented itself. You took it, you beat him, you got better, you stayed neck and neck. Just stay strong, was the first directive. Get stronger, was the next. Don't die, was the final, and that is where you remain. Daunting, to excel at a game that you must eventually lose. Unless you really are an angel. Unless he really is already a ghost. ~ Vee Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Vee Hoffman
Stone should last forever, but on that night I came to understand that a stone was only another form of dust. Streams of holy dust loomed in the air, and every breath included remnants of the Temple, so that we inhaled that which was meant to stand through eternity. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Professional loyalty now flows "horizontally" to and from your network rather than "vertically" to your boss, as Dan Pink has noted. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
Creating anything is hard. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
One of the most ignored dimensions of the Iraqi insurgency are the Iraqis themselves who are regularly abducted, held for ransom and sometimes executed. ~ Bruce Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Bruce Hoffman
Just know that what's done can be undone, but what's undone can never again be. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Although my father had never been there, I came to believe I would someday see that city for him. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Abbie Hoffman's inspiration was, in a sense, inadvertent. I wanted to do something to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Woodstock at the time, and it just happened that Abbie died the same year. Hoffman was always an inspiration to me, for his activism and execution of that activism, and any of his books will give you a guide and a map to creating almost anything, if you apply it to what it is you want to do. ~ Richard Cotovsky
Hoffman quotes by Richard Cotovsky
When people don't know who you are, they're seeing your work for the first time. But if they've seen a lot, getting certain things across is a more difficult. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Well, 45-odd years of doing it, so we all pile up the things we like about directors and the things we don't like about directors. And sometimes they're very similar. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
People change. You change. Some relationships just aren't meant to last beyond a certain point. It's okay to simply let those friendships fade. This is a natural evolution of some relationships. Unlike romantic relationships, with friendships there's rarely a reason to have a full-on breakup. Even if people go in different directions and the friendship slowly peters out, trust can endure. And unlike most exes, it is possible to rekindle/reactivate friendships later on when your lives are more aligned. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
I can't really work on more than one thing at a time. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
He thought of Jesus as a great teacher, a rebel who refused to see the poor and disenfranchised mistreated. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
A pretty little minnow ... cool as rain, blue as heaven ... ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
It may be that just as tonality recurs in music and realism in painting, so the idea of liberalism recurs in politics-though each time in a different vein. ~ Eva Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Eva Hoffman
I had always done as he asked, not because I was bound to do so by duty but because I saw the depth of who he was and how he himself suffered. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
My grandmother told me once that when you lose somebody you think you've lost the whole world as well, but that's not the way things turn out in the end. Eventually, you pick yourself up and look out the window, and once you do you see everything that was there before the world ended is out there still. There are the same apple trees and the same songbirds, and over our heads, the very same sky that shines like heaven, so far above us we can never hope to reach such heights. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Entrepreneurial employees possess what eBay CEO John Donahoe calls the founder mind-set. As he put it to us, People with the founder mind-set drive change, motivate people, and just get stuff done. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
Whether you want to learn a new skill or simply be better at the job you were hired to do, it's now your job to train and invest in yourself. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
Silicon Valley is a mindset, not a location. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
In terms of the stars, the only ones I cast were Billy Connolly and Pauline Collins. I was in Los Angeles working and a lot of this took place on the telephone. I'd met Maggie [Smith] once and I'd come back-stage, which I'm usually loathe to do because as an actor you don't want people coming back because you want to get home [laughs]. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
You spend so much of your life basing yourself on what you think other people think of you. Then you realise that maybe one of the purposes of life is not to care. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
How could you justify giving Holland twice the amount of money that you gave Belgium? Well, finally, I put it up to them. They said that they couldn't do it; it would destroy them. I said they had to do it. And I finally got support from Hoffman on it. ~ W. Averell Harriman
Hoffman quotes by W. Averell Harriman
They say the truest beauty is in the harshest land and that God can be found there by those with open eyes. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Over the years I had grown attached to it, as men grow attached to their miseries and their burdens. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
I knew that men told you the truth for one of two reasons: when they wished to be rid of what they couldn't bear to carry, or when they wished to include you in what they knew so their stories wouldn't be lost. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
There's a little witch in all of us. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
One person's religion is another person's cult. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
For me, therapy is partly translation therapy, the talking cure a second-language cure. My going to a shrink is, among other things, a rite of initiation: initiation into the language of the subculture within which I happen to live, into a way of explaining myself to myself. But gradually, it becomes a project of translating backward.
The way to jump over my Great Divine is to crawl backward over it in English. It's only when I retell my whole story, back to the beginning, and from the beginning onward, in one language, that I can reconcile the voices within me with each other; it is only then that the person who judges the voices and tells the stories begins to emerge. ~ Eva Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Eva Hoffman
The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping, almost. It's like going to get all the ingredients together, and you've got to make sure before you leave the store that you got all the ingredients. And then you take those ingredients and you can make a good cake - or not. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Nostalgia is a form of depression both for a society and an individual. ~ Abbie Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Abbie Hoffman
Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey!
~ Barbara Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Barbara Hoffman
I feel cheated never being able to know what it's like to get pregnant, carry a child and breast feed. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
Look at the studio filled with glamorous merchandise. Fabulous and exciting bonus prizes. Thousands of dollars in cash. Over $150,000 just waiting to be won as we present our big bonanza of cash on Wheel Of Fortune. ~ Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Dustin Hoffman
My belief and goal is that every professional in the world should be on a service liked LinkedIn. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
He's so kindhearted no dog has ever barked at him. No child has ever cried in front of him. No bee has ever tried to sting him. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Young Sally Owens: He will hear my call a mile away. He will whistle my favorite song. He can ride a pony backwards.
Young Gillian Owens: What are you doing?
Young Sally Owens: Summoning up a true love spell called Amas Veritas. He can flip pancakes in the air. He'll be marvelously kind. And his favorite shape will be a star. And he'll have one green eye and one blue.
Young Gillian Owens: Thought you never wanted to fall in love.
Young Sally Owens: That's the point. The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist. And if he doesn't exist I'll never die of a broken heart. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
Believers with nothing to believe in. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
I love 'Capote.' Huge fan of Philip Seymour Hoffman; if he's not my all-time favorite actor he's definitely in my top five. I just love him so much. ~ Chris Pratt
Hoffman quotes by Chris Pratt
Keeping your options open" is frequently more of a risk than committing to a plan of action. ~ Reid Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Reid Hoffman
I do not believe on giving amnesty. ~ Doug Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Doug Hoffman
In this state, dig it, you get twenty years for sale of dope to a minor. You only get five to ten for manslaughter. So like, the thing is, if you're selling to a kid and cops come, shoot the kid real quick! ~ Abbie Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Abbie Hoffman
Did you not think this was what the world was like? the Man from the Valley said to me. ~ Alice Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Alice Hoffman
I think you gotta have an honesty and a humility about human nature and that it's not about you at the end of the day. ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman quotes by Philip Seymour Hoffman
Sputnik quickly became one of the three great shocks to hit America - historians say the equal of Pearl Harbor or 9/11. ~ David Hoffman
