But a myth, to speak plainly, to me is like a menu in a fancy French restaurant: glamorous, complicated camouflage for a fact you wouldn't otherwise swallow, like maybe lima beans. ~ William Peter Blatty
Lima quotes by William Peter Blatty
Give me the outside of all things, I am a fanatic for the externality of things. ~ Jose Lezama Lima
Lima quotes by Jose Lezama Lima
It's preferable to die than to lose the life. ~ Frei Tito De Alencar Lima
Lima quotes by Frei Tito De Alencar Lima
Calvin: Somewhere in Communist Russia I'll bet there's a little boy who has never known anything but censorship and oppression. But maybe he's heard of America, and he dreams of living in this land of freedom and opportunity! Someday, I'd like to meet that little boy ... and tell him the awful TRUTH ABOUT THIS PLACE!! Calvin's Dad: Calvin, be quiet and eat the stupid lima beans. ~ Bill Watterson
Lima quotes by Bill Watterson
I wont cry for you, my mascara's too expensive... ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
For God's sake, Josie-true love trumps lima beans. ~ Faith Erin Hicks
Lima quotes by Faith Erin Hicks
I'm not going to give up salt and sugar because I want to look like Adriana Lima. But I am going to work out to make myself feel good in my own body. ~ Zoey Deutch
Lima quotes by Zoey Deutch
With no small interest, Captain Delano continued to watch her
a proceeding not much facilitated by the vapors partly mantling the hull, through which the far matin light from her cabin streamed equivocally enough; much like the sun
by this time hemisphered on the rim of the horizon, and, apparently, in company with the strange ship entering the harbor
which, wimpled by the same low, creeping clouds, showed not unlike a Lima intriquante's one sinister eye peering across the Plaza from the Indian loop-hole of her dusk saya-y-manta. ~ Herman Melville
Lima quotes by Herman Melville
I was so embarrassed about mispronouncing words. I just knew how to smile. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I eat a balanced diet. The secret is to watch your portions, but I also work out a lot. Working out a lot isn't necessary, but I am very active, and my body can endure intense workouts. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Modeling is a tough job, your co-workers are your rivals, it really puts a damper on your perspective of other girls. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I love cakes. Chocolate and coconut cakes. I love that combination! ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Younger guys are just too jealous. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I like presents that a man has spent time on, doing them himself, like a card or anything that is made by hand and from the heart. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Does his family have money?" I asked.
"No, Ulises's family doesn't have money," said Requena. "Actually, the only family he has is his mother, right? Or at least I've never heard of anyone else."
"I know his whole family," said Pancho. "I knew Ulises Lima long before any of you, long before Belano, and his mother is the only family he has. He's broke, that I can promise you."
"Then how could he finance two issues of a magazine?"
"Selling weed," said Pancho. The other two were quiet, but they didn't deny it.
"I can't believe it," I said.
"Well, it's true. The money comes from marijuana."
"Shit."
"He goes and gets it in Acapulco and then he delivers it to his clients in Mexico City."
"Shut up, Pancho," said Barrios.
"Why should I shut up? The kid's a fucking visceral realist, isn't he? So why do I have to shut up? ~ Roberto Bolano
Lima quotes by Roberto Bolano
I just think they're really insecure about themselves sometimes. I know all the girls, but we all work a lot and don't have time to hang out together. They're all really nice; I've never had a problem with any model. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Every work has the bad side, and people will be mean to you, and when you're young, you don't know how to defend yourself. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
When I was young, around 5, I was crying in all the pictures of me. I did not like the flash; it scared me! ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven. ~ Rose Of Lima
Lima quotes by Rose Of Lima
I may have the 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' soundtrack, which I've been told is embarrassing, but come on, there are some good songs on there. ~ Floriana Lima
Lima quotes by Floriana Lima
You shaved your chest?"
He looks down at the sheer black stripes. "Actually, there wasn't a mirror in my room. Gossamer did it after my bath, when she shaved my face. She said elves are hairless everywhere but their heads."
Everywhere? I pictured him naked - Gossamer touching his abs, among other places. "That sprite saw you in the nude?"
He clears his throat. "More than just her. I think there were about thirty of them climbing on me at one point."
A surge of jealousy scalds me. My fists clench. "Thirty sprites touched your naked body?"
"Chill about the sprites, all right? Flying lima beans aren't my thing. ~ A.G. Howard
Lima quotes by A.G. Howard
Three Meatloaf Haikus
Oh yucky meatloaf
sitting under the hot lights
so gray and gristly.
Nothing tastes worse than
you, not cauliflower or
even lima beans.
And what is that weird
thing sticking out
a whisker?
hair? a rubber band? ~ Jennifer L. Holm
Lima quotes by Jennifer L. Holm
Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it's about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Who built Thebes of the seven gates?
In the books you will find the name of kings.
Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock?
And Babylon, many times demolished.
Who raised it up so many times? In what houses
Of gold-glittering Lima did the builders live?
Where, the evening that the Wall of China was finished
Did the masons go? Great Rome
Is full of triumphal arches. Who erected them? Over whom
Did the Caesars triumph? Had Byzantium, much praised in song,
Only palaces for its inhabitants? Even in fabled Atlantis
The night the ocean engulfed it
The drowning still bawled for their slaves. ~ Bertolt Brecht
Lima quotes by Bertolt Brecht
We didn't ever want 'Tarzan' to feel like he was just a man. We didn't want him to stand up straight or wave good-bye. We wanted to make sure he always had that piece of gorilla in him, that he always had an animal attitude about him. ~ Kevin Lima
Lima quotes by Kevin Lima
Her checkbook catches his eye. He takes it and hides it in the back of the freezer, underneath a bag of frozen lima beans. If she can freeze his account, he can freeze hers. ~ Mary Amato
Lima quotes by Mary Amato
When I get older, I don't think I'll like to have wrinkles, or a big jelly belly. I cannot have it. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveler from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra. ~ Horace Walpole
Lima quotes by Horace Walpole
We feel really lucky at Disney to work with a great stable of artists. ~ Kevin Lima
Lima quotes by Kevin Lima
I have the deepest regret about 9/11. Sept. 11, 2001, was one of the most difficult days I've ever had. I was in Lima, Peru, and had to fly back eight hours not knowing what happened in my own country, knowing thousands of my fellow citizens had died. ~ Colin Powell
Lima quotes by Colin Powell
At last some curious traveller from Lima will visit England, and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul's, like the editions of Baalbec and Palmyra. ~ Horace Walpole
Lima quotes by Horace Walpole
En Lima to be or not to be significan la misma cosa ~ Gunter Silva Passuni
Lima quotes by Gunter Silva Passuni
I can never see fashion models,
lean angular cheeks, strutting hips
and blooming hair, without thinking of
the skulls at the catacombs in Lima, Peru. ~ Naomi Shihab Nye
Lima quotes by Naomi Shihab Nye
Brazilian women are taught to take care of themselves. They start their beauty routine at a young age, which is the key to aging beautifully. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I didn't know anything about fashion. I couldn't believe it when I got here. I don't know how I'm sitting here right now speaking English. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
From the very, very beginning, we made the decision that 'Tarzan' wasn't going to sing. My co-director, Chris Buck, and I said to each other that we couldn't imagine a half-naked man in the jungle simply bursting into song. ~ Kevin Lima
Lima quotes by Kevin Lima
In the morning they rose in a house pungent with breakfast cookery, and they sat at a smoking table loaded with brains and eggs, ham, hot biscuit, fried apples seething in their gummed syrups, honey, golden butter, fried steak, scalding coffee. Or there were stacked batter-cakes, rum-colored molasses, fragrant brown sausages, a bowl of wet cherries, plums, fat juicy bacon, jam. At the mid-day meal, they ate heavily: a huge hot roast of beef, fat buttered lima- beans, tender corn smoking on the cob, thick red slabs of sliced tomatoes, rough savory spinach, hot yellow corn-bread, flaky biscuits, a deep-dish peach and apple cobbler spiced with cinnamon, tender cabbage, deep glass dishes piled with preserved fruits-- cherries, pears, peaches. At night they might eat fried steak, hot squares of grits fried in egg and butter, pork-chops, fish, young fried chicken. ~ Thomas Wolfe
Lima quotes by Thomas Wolfe
The soul started at the knee-cap and ended at the navel. ~ Jose Lezama Lima
Lima quotes by Jose Lezama Lima
I believe love just happens once. You can be mistaken, you can think you are in love, but after a while you discover that you're really not. Real love is different. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
It's wrong for a guy to have no personality, no heart. Because I don't care about style or money. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Fashion is about good energy. It's about feelings. That's what I have to give the people, good energy and good feelings. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I knew immediately that it was different from other photographs.
The night sky in the background was pure and black, so dark it made you dizzy if you stared at it too long. The rain drifted through the frame like a gentle mist, but right in the middle was a hollow area in the shape of a lima been. ~ Yoko Ogawa
Lima quotes by Yoko Ogawa
Don't try to be what you're not. If you're nervous, be nervous. If you're shy, be shy. It's cute. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I want to be a child doctor. A pediatry ... how do you call it, pediatrician? Do I like kids? No, not really. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
How do you do that?" I asked. "What do witches eat?" "Witches loves pork meat," she said. "They loves rice and potatoes. They loves black-eyed peas and cornbread. Lima beans, too, and collard greens and cabbage, all cooked in pork fat. Witches is old folks, most of them. They don't care none for low-cal. You pile that food on a paper plate, stick a plastic fork in it, and set it down by the side of a tree. And that feeds the witches." The ~ John Berendt
Lima quotes by John Berendt
When he showed them to the rebel leader, Tupac Amaru responded "these books are worthless other than to make empanadas or pastries; I'll just impose strong laws." He explained that once in power they would place one official in every town, who would collect the head tax and send it to the city of Cuzco. This program would begin in Cuzco but expand to Arequipa, Lima and Upper Peru. Escarcena also noted that Tupac Amaru told many people that he would get rid of lawyers and jails and simplify punishment. Major criminals would be hanged on the spot while smaller transgressions would be punished by hanging the perpetrator by one foot from the gallows, placed in every town. This streamlined system would not only reduce crime but also "get rid of lawsuits and notaries. ~ Charles F. Walker
Lima quotes by Charles F. Walker
He divided the inhabitants of the world into two groups, into those who had loved and those who had not. ~ Thomas B. Costain
Lima quotes by Thomas B. Costain
I think everyone is a little egocentric, but when I help someone I lose 0.01% of my ego. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
You don't have to have an attitude if you're famous. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
If you look around Brazil you see pregnant women everywhere. Here you don't see that as much. There the only thing they do is babies, babies, babies! Especially the poor families. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Seychelles said at U.N. climate talks. The report was bound to sharpen disputes in Lima over who pays the bills for the impacts of global warming, whose primary cause is the burning of coal, oil and gas but which also includes deforestation. It has long been the thorniest issue at the U.N. negotiations, now in their 20th round. Rich countries have pledged to help the developing world convert to clean energy and adapt to shifts in global weather that are already adversely affecting crops, human health and economies. But poor countries say they're not seeing enough cash. Projecting the annual costs that poor countries will face by 2050 just to adapt, the United Nations Environment Program report deemed the previous estimate of $70 billion to $100 billion "a significant underestimate." It had been based on 2010 World Bank numbers. ~ Anonymous
Lima quotes by Anonymous
Without the burden of afflictions it is impossible to reach the height of Grace. The gift of Grace increases as the struggle increases. ~ Rose Of Lima
Lima quotes by Rose Of Lima
I like jealous men. I love jealousy. I do. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I'm a teenager, but I'm independent - I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
The way we got Phil Collins for 'Tarzan' was that we heard around the studio that he was looking for a Disney project, and we got him. It seemed like a perfect match. Phil is a great musician. ~ Kevin Lima
Lima quotes by Kevin Lima
If only mortals would learn how great it is to possess divine grace, how beautiful, how noble, how precious. How many riches it hides within itself, how many joys and delights! No one would complain about his cross or about troubles that may happen to him, if he would come to know the scales on which they are weighed when they are distributed to men. ~ Rose Of Lima
Lima quotes by Rose Of Lima
More money than the crooks at Enron and less taste than a drunk after a bottle of tequila ~ Maria Lima
Lima quotes by Maria Lima
Somehow Geryon made it to adolescence. Then he met Herakles and the kingdoms of his life all shifted down a few notches. ... Geryon was going into the Bus Depot one Friday night about three a.m. to get change to call home. Herakles stepped oof the bus from New Mexico and Geryon came fast around the corner of the platform and there it was one of those moments that is the opposite of blindness. The world poured back and forth between their eyes once or twice. ~ Anne Carson
Lima quotes by Anne Carson
As nearly as possible in the spirit of Matthew Salinger, age one, urging a luncheon companion to accept a cool lima bean, I urge my editor, mentor and (heaven help him) closest friend, William Shawn, genius domus of The New Yorker, lover of the long shot, protector of the unprolific, defender of the hopelessly flamboyant, most unreasonably modest of born great artist-editors to accept this pretty skimpy-looking book. ~ J.D. Salinger
Lima quotes by J.D. Salinger
Whom were these two seeking to please? Not the audiences of Lima. They had long since been satisfied. We come from a world where we have known incredible standards of [82] excellence, and we dimly remember beauties which we have not seized again; and we go back to that world. Uncle Pio and Camila Perichole were tormenting themselves in an effort to establish in Peru the standards of the theatres in some Heaven whither Calderon had preceded them. The public for which masterpieces are intended is not on this earth. ~ Thornton Wilder
Lima quotes by Thornton Wilder
I have a great tip - I have a jumping rope in the house, and I just do ten minutes of it whenever I can. You don't need to work out for hours, just ten minutes will do. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Dear Abby,
My boyfriend won't suck my blood. I've offered, I've cajoled. I've even begged, even though begging is totally humiliating and degrading because I'm so afraid that if he doesn't, he's going to die. Oh, and did I mention he's a vampire? No, really, the undead kind.
Signed,
Confused in Texas.
Dear Confused:
What the Fuck!? ~ Maria Lima
Lima quotes by Maria Lima
I was in Peru and visited a building near Lima built by the Incas. It was low in height, with no windows at all, but all the way in the back there was air movement. And I couldn't figure out how they'd done it; it was incredible. ~ Frank Gehry
Lima quotes by Frank Gehry
Skye." "Lima-Oscar-Victor-Echo ~ Jeanne Birdsall
Lima quotes by Jeanne Birdsall
The first Victoria's Secret model I ever met was Adriana Lima, and she was so nice to me. She was very generous and very nurturing. She made sure people talked to me! ~ Lily Aldridge
Lima quotes by Lily Aldridge
If 'heartache' sounds exaggerated then surely you have never gone to your garden one rare morning in June to find that the frost, without any perceptible motive, any hope of personal gain, has quietly killed your strawberry blossoms, tomatoes, lima and green beans, corn, squash, cucumbers. A brilliant sun is now smiling at this disaster with an insenstive cheerfulness as out of place as a funny story would be if someone you loved had just died. ~ Ruth Stout
Lima quotes by Ruth Stout
I try to work out as much as I can and, of course, eat healthily. Drinking a lot of water, sweating during your work out is good for you, and of course, chasing after your kids! ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
If you're having dinner with friends and they're always on the phone or always texting, it's just impolite. Unless it's something important - like someone is in the hospital or something - don't do it. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Another female household-hinter gave me a recipe for a big hearty main dish of elbow macaroni, mint jelly, lima beans, mayonnaise and cheese baked until 'hot and yummy.' Unless my taste buds are paralyzed, this dish could be baked until hell freezes over and it might get hot but never 'yummy. ~ Betty MacDonald
Lima quotes by Betty MacDonald
I wouldn't say it's competitive. I think everyone has their time. Gisele is having her time, and Shirley had her time, and maybe I will have my time. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I love Victoria's Secret and the brand, and I'm passionate about Victoria's Secret commercials, too. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
I remember Tyra Banks giving me encouraging advice during my first Victoria's Secret commercial shoot. I was so nervous, and she told me to just relax and be confident - that made me feel very comfortable. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Bring wine," she hissed into the phone. "And Matthew's pizza. Those lima beans with feta cheese from Mezze. Sopa-pillas from Golden West. Hurry! ~ Laura Lippman
Lima quotes by Laura Lippman
lima means, non-dairy ~ Rupert Frank
Lima quotes by Rupert Frank
A man needs to be polite, not just to me but to everyone. I watch that. How does he treat the waiter? How does he treat the coat-check girl? How does he treat the driver? ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
Lima beans, watermelons, potatoes, eggplants, and cabbages are among the many other familiar crops whose wild ancestors were bitter or poisonous, and ~ Jared Diamond
Lima quotes by Jared Diamond
If you're comfortable in your own skin, you will feel beautiful - and look beautiful to others, too. ~ Adriana Lima

In Brazil, we don't have Victoria's Secret, and my family are all Victoria's Secret fans, so I usually bring them back some lovely pieces. ~ Adriana Lima
Lima quotes by Adriana Lima
So we speak of a Black God, Mother God, Worker God.
This de-mystifies what's been passed on to us! In our process of organization and liberation of our people, it's important to meet a God who is more like us. (Silvia Regina de Lima Silva, p. 105) ~ Mev Puleo
