There is a difference between admitting and confessing. Admitting involves softening, making excuses for things that cannot be excused; confessing just names the crimes at its full severity. ~ Veronica Roth
Making Excuses quotes by Veronica Roth
I walked downstairs, toward the beach, and then through the dunes, feeling the sort of rage that comes with the realization of one's gross inadequacy, of knowing for certain that you are at fault. It was the first time I realized that as much as he was two people around us, so were we two people around him: we saw of him what we wanted, and allowed ourselves not to see anything else. We Were so ill-equipped. Most people are easy: their unhappiness are our unhappiness, their sorrows are understandable, their bouts of self-loathing are fast moving and negotiable. But his were not. We don't know how to help him because we lacked the imagination needed to diagnose the problems. But this is making excuses. ~ Hanya Yanagihara
Making Excuses quotes by Hanya Yanagihara
One moment you see that you aren't so Original... people leave you... people start ignoring you... people start making excuses. ~ Deyth Banger
Making Excuses quotes by Deyth Banger
Thus, the question of how and when to start vagabonding is not really a question at all. Vagabonding starts now. Even if the practical reality of travel is still months or years away, vagabonding begins the moment you stop making excuses, start saving money, and begin to look at maps with the narcotic tingle of possibility. From here, the reality of vagabonding comes into sharper focus as you adjust your worldview and begin to embrace the exhilarating uncertainty that true travel promises. ~ Rolf Potts
Making Excuses quotes by Rolf Potts
Remember: It cost God everything to make you holy. When you choose to live below that calling – making excuses for compromise and cultural ideals – you're spurning the identity Jesus died to provide. ~ Phylicia Masonheimer
Making Excuses quotes by Phylicia Masonheimer
My breasts are small," I said in a whisper, but immediately despised myself because it sounded as if I were making excuses, excuse me if I can't offer you big tits, I hope you enjoy yourself anyway, idiot that I was, if he liked little tits, good; if not, the worse for him, it was all free, a stroke of luck had fallen to this shit, the best birthday present he could hope for, at his age. ~ Elena Ferrante
Making Excuses quotes by Elena Ferrante
Quitting is not giving up, it's choosing to focus your attention on something more important. Quitting is not losing confidence, it's realizing that there are more valuable ways you can spend your time. Quitting is not making excuses, it's learning to be more productive, efficient and effective instead. Quitting is letting go of things (or people) that are sucking the life out of you so you can do more things that will bring you strength. ~ Osayi Emokpae Lasisi
Making Excuses quotes by Osayi Emokpae Lasisi
For my entire life, I had oscillated between fear at my worst moments and a sense of safety and stability at my best. I was either being chased by the bad terminator or protected by the good one. But I had never felt empowered - never believed that I had the ability and the responsibility to care for those I loved. Mamaw could preach about responsibility and hard work, about making something of myself and not making excuses. No pep talk or speech could show me how it felt to transition from seeking shelter to providing it. I had to learn that for myself, and once I did, there was no going back. Mamaw's ~ J.D. Vance
Making Excuses quotes by J.D. Vance
Start making excuses and there's no end to it. I can't live that kind of life. ~ Haruki Murakami
Making Excuses quotes by Haruki Murakami
Stop messin' around. Be the person you are meant to be. Remember that somewhere someone is rooting for you to succeed! Don't worry about the others. They're too busy riding coattails, being unhappy and making excuses as to why they gave up on their own dreams. You've got this. And if today you were wondering if you could do it? Consider this your pep talk. ~ Dawn Garcia
Making Excuses quotes by Dawn Garcia
The Vikings thought they were big shots because they had boats. You know how obnoxious people get when they own a boat. They always want to go on the boat. "We're taking the boat out this weekend. It's supposed to be beautiful. Why don't you come? You never come. You're always working. You know how many people wish they would get invited to come on the boat? And you turn it down. ~ Colin Quinn
Making Excuses quotes by Colin Quinn
If now we attend to ourselves on occasion of any transgression of duty, we shall find that we in fact do not will that our maxim should be universal law, for that is impossible for us; on the contrary, we will that the opposite should remain a universal law, only we assume the liberty of making an exception in our own favor or (just for this time only) in favor of our inclination. Consequently, if we considered all cases from one and the same point of view, namely, that of reason, we should find a contradiction in our own will, namely, that a certain principle should be objectively necessary as a universal law, and yet subjectively should not be universal, but admit of exceptions. As, however, we at one moment regard our action from the point of view of a will wholly conformed to reason, and then again look at the same action from the point of view of a will affected by inclination, there is not really any contradiction, but an antagonism of inclination to the precept of reason, whereby the universality of the principle is changed into mere generality, so that the practical principle of reason shall meet the maxim half way. Now, although this cannot be justified in our own impartial judgement, yet it proves that we do really recognize the validity of the categorical imperative and (with all respect for it) only allow ourselves a few exceptions which we think unimportant and forced from us. ~ Immanuel Kant
Making Excuses quotes by Immanuel Kant
Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses. ~ George Washington Carver
Making Excuses quotes by George Washington Carver
Stop standing in your own way. Stop making excuses. Stop talking about why you can't. Stop sabotaging yourself. Decide which direction you are going in and take action. One decision at a time, one moment at a time. ~ Akiroq Brost
Making Excuses quotes by Akiroq Brost
The choice [is} a familiar one; stop making excuses and shift [your] perspective. ~ Andrea Goeglein
Making Excuses quotes by Andrea Goeglein
When you're good at making excuses, it's hard to excel at anything else. ~ John Landis Mason
Making Excuses quotes by John Landis Mason
I am not in the business of pointing fingers or making excuses. However, recent history has shown that I, like thousands of others in Ireland, incorrectly relied upon the persons who guided Anglo and who wrongfully sought to portray a 'blue chip' Irish banking sector. ~ Sean Quinn
Making Excuses quotes by Sean Quinn
It is time to stop making excuses. We need an enriched approach to doing economic research, one that acknowledges the existence and relevance of Humans. ~ Richard H. Thaler
Making Excuses quotes by Richard H. Thaler
What if i fail?" ... the more profound question is, "what if i never fail?" "Stop making excuses and start managing your fear. ~ David Meerman Scott
Making Excuses quotes by David Meerman Scott
Commit to stop making excuses. When we make excuses, we lie to ourselves and continue bad habits. ~ Joyce Meyer
Making Excuses quotes by Joyce Meyer
He who is good at making excuses is seldom good at anything else. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Making Excuses quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Stop making excuses of why you can't or how hard it is and start making your life matter. ~ John Patrick Hickey
Making Excuses quotes by John Patrick Hickey
Stop making excuses and just do it! ~ Robin S. Sharma
Making Excuses quotes by Robin S. Sharma
People only see what they want to see, and they only do whatever they want to do. You can make excuses for them all you like, but you'll always be making excuses for them, ~ Jade West
Making Excuses quotes by Jade West
Maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses and start making changes. ~ Roy Bennett
Making Excuses quotes by Roy Bennett
Making excuses and not trying because I was scared were my go-to reactions. Nothing was going to change in my life unless I did something about it. ~ Erin Willett
Making Excuses quotes by Erin Willett
Another way people with the fixed mindset try to repair their self-esteem after a failure is by assigning blame or making excuses. ~ Carol S. Dweck
Making Excuses quotes by Carol S. Dweck
When are we going to stop making excuses for the terrorists and saying that somebody is making them do it? No, these are simply evil people who want to kill. ~ Condoleezza Rice
Making Excuses quotes by Condoleezza Rice
Please don't trivialize my loss by making excuses for my failures or comparing me to someone who never had what I have lost. It compounds my distress and discounts what I once was without even allowing me the opportunity to express my grief. Though entirely unintentional, it adds insult to injury. ~ Claudia L. Osborn
Making Excuses quotes by Claudia L. Osborn
If you always do the easier thing, then you cannot possibly remain steadfast when it becomes necessary to take a difficult stand. You must do what you know to be right. And you do know. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred you do know and you are just making excuses because the right thing is so hard, or just inconvenient. ~ Glen Cook
Making Excuses quotes by Glen Cook
Every vice has its excuse ready. ~ Publilius Syrus
Making Excuses quotes by Publilius Syrus
We, as conservative intellectuals, should not be in the business of making excuses for bad parliamentary decisions by Republican leaders in Congress. ~ David Frum
Making Excuses quotes by David Frum
We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse. ~ Rudyard Kipling
Making Excuses quotes by Rudyard Kipling
Excuses are things like sausages stuffed with reason, in the skin of a lie. ~ Kianu Starr
Making Excuses quotes by Kianu Starr
Don't make excuses; accept responsibility.
You must take responsibility for how you respond to everything that happens in your life; whether you cause it or not. Making excuses is a weak response! ~ Michelle Word Hollis
Making Excuses quotes by Michelle Word Hollis
Blind compassion is rooted in the belief that we are all doing the best that we can. When we are driven by blind compassion, we cut everyone far too much slack, making excuses for others' behavior and making nice in situations that require a forceful "no," an unmistakable voicing of displeasure, or a firm setting and maintaining of boundaries. These things can, and often should, be done out of love, but blind compassion keeps love too meek, sentenced to wearing a kind face. This is not the kindness of the Dalai Lama, which is rooted in courage, but rather a kindness rooted in fear, and not just the fear of confrontation, but also the fear of not coming across as a good or spiritual person. When we are engaged in blind compassion we rarely show any anger, for we not only believe that compassion has to be gentle, we are also frightened of upsetting anyone, especially to the point of their confronting us. ~ Robert Augustus Masters
Making Excuses quotes by Robert Augustus Masters
Stop making excuses, start making changes! ~ Habeeb Akande
Making Excuses quotes by Habeeb Akande
Making excuses instead of putting yourself and your dreams first only leads to a life of mediocrity and regret. And you don't deserve that, nobody does. But to stop the excuses it's going to take getting hard-core and figuring out exactly what you want. So push yourself to ignore all those excuses that pop into your head, and accept the truth that you are the master of your ship, the author of your life, and that your adventure is only as awesome as you can imagine it. Once you stop talking yourself out of doing what you really want, you'll find the shiniest version of you and experience a sense of accomplishment that rivals any accolades. ~ Alexis Jones
Making Excuses quotes by Alexis Jones
It sounds to me like you're making excuses," Jeb said quietly. "You're trying to convince yourself, and you're using me to listen to yourself talk. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Making Excuses quotes by Nicholas Sparks
If you have to ask someone to change, to tell you they love you, to bring wine to dinner, to call you when they land, you can't afford to be with them. It's not worth the price, even though, just like the Tiffany catalog, no one tells you what the price is. You set it yourself, and if you're lucky it's reasonable. You have a sense of when you're about to go bankrupt. Your own sense of self-worth takes the wheel and says, Enough of this shit. Stop making excuses. No one's that busy at work. No one's allergic to whipped cream. There are too cell phones in Sweden. But most people don't get lucky. They get human. They get crushes. This means you irrationally mortgage what little logic you own to pay for this one thing. This relationship is an impulse buy, and you'll figure out if it's worth it later. ~ Sloane Crosley
Making Excuses quotes by Sloane Crosley
I think that it's high time that the Prime Minister stopped making excuses for bad policy and started listening to the forgotten families of Australia. ~ Tony Abbott
Making Excuses quotes by Tony Abbott
Research suggests that people are typically unaware of the reasons why they are doing what they are doing, but when asked for a reason, they readily supply one. ~ Daniel M. Gilbert
Making Excuses quotes by Daniel M. Gilbert
I shook my head. "Don't bother making excuses," I said. "Don't waste your time because, the fact is, I am the Duff. But so is everyone else in the world. We're all fucking Duffs."
"I'm not the Duff," Wesley said confidently.
"That's because you don't have friends."
"Oh. Right. ~ Kody Keplinger
Making Excuses quotes by Kody Keplinger
You'll never learn anything or impress anyone by making excuses and diverting blame. ~ Frank Sonnenberg
Making Excuses quotes by Frank Sonnenberg
The best way to not succeed is to keep making excuses. ~ S.L. Bartlett
Making Excuses quotes by S.L. Bartlett
When you work for somebody who is very technical, and understands and has creative solutions to your problems, it spurs you along and stops you making excuses for things. And I found that very useful. ~ David Perry
Making Excuses quotes by David Perry
Frank," Belinda sounded more drained than angry. "When are you going to stop making excuses for him?" "He had a bad day at practice yesterday," Hildy went on as if she hadn't heard. "He's always weird when he's been bad at practice. ~ Richie Tankersley Cusick
Making Excuses quotes by Richie Tankersley Cusick
Leadership is taking responsibility while others are making excuses. ~ John C. Maxwell
Making Excuses quotes by John C. Maxwell
Stop making excuses for them. … They have eyes! They can see that the toilet paper roll needs changing and the wastebasket is full and that there is no more orange juice and we drink orange juice and orange juice is sold in grocery stores. They've trained themselves not to notice things because the less they notice the more we'll just take care of it for them. They say, you should have told me you wanted my help when we had twelve people coming over for dinner! You should have told me not to sit in front of the computer looking at football scores while you're running around doing everything by yourself. If you needed my help why didn't you ask for it? I didn't know you needed help. It's madness. ~ Jeanne Ray
Making Excuses quotes by Jeanne Ray
Part of being of a true existentialist is wanting to be what we make ourselves be by the way we choose to act, as opposed to making excuses for the way we act and regretting it. ~ Gary Cox
Making Excuses quotes by Gary Cox
The solutions are obvious. Stop making excuses. Stop saying women run publishing. Stop justifying the lack of parity in prominent publications that have the resources to address gender inequity. Stop parroting the weak notiong that you're simply publishing the best writing, regardless. There is ample evidence of the excellence of women writers. Publish more women writers. If women aren't submitting to your publication or press, ask yourself why, deal with the answers even if those answers make you uncomfortable, and then reach out to women writers. If women don't respond to your solicitations, go find other women. Keep doing that, issue after issue after issue. Read more widely. Create more inclusive measures of excellence. Ensure that books by mean and women are being reviewed in equal numbers. Nominate more deserving women for the important awards. Deal with your resentment. Deal with your biases. Vigorously resist the urge to dismiss the gender problem. Make the effort and make the effort and make the effort until you no longer need to, until we don't need to keep having this conversation.

Change requires intent and effort. It really is that simple. ~ Roxane Gay
Making Excuses quotes by Roxane Gay
The fact is that I'm interested in getting on with my job of holding the Government to account and I think that the Government should get on with the job of effectively running the country and not making excuses for poor performance, not lowering expectations. Their job is to deliver on their election commitments. ~ Tony Abbott
Making Excuses quotes by Tony Abbott
People keep making excuses, that's why everthing happens for a reason. ~ Roy Saputra
Making Excuses quotes by Roy Saputra
Stop making excuses. You are not missing the tools to do what you want to do, you are missing the drive to get it done. Get started. Just a little bit every day and watch it all start to come your way. Good luck. - Avina Celeste ~ Avina Celeste
Making Excuses quotes by Avina Celeste
Making excuses as to why you cannot do something based on what you don't have, or what hasn't happened yet, only serves to hold you back even further. WAIT FOR NOTHING & NO-ONE. ~ Miya Yamanouchi
Making Excuses quotes by Miya Yamanouchi
There's an entrepreneur right now, scared to death, making excuses, saying, 'It's not the right time just yet.' There's no such thing as a good time. I started an apparel-manufacturing business in the tech-boom years. I mean, come on. Get out of your garage and go take a chance, and start your business. ~ Kevin Plank
Making Excuses quotes by Kevin Plank
Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Making Excuses quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
When you stop making excuses, you start making progress! ~ Lasean Rinique
Making Excuses quotes by Lasean Rinique
I think it's time for the Prime Minister to stop making excuses and to start governing. ~ Tony Abbott
Making Excuses quotes by Tony Abbott
When we allow ourselves to ignore a rational option in favor of an irrational one, or perhaps an unjustified one, it's like eating junk food. It fills the need for making a decision but does so with no decision at all. Just like junk food, it satiates the need to act, but it requires no action at all. ~ Farshad Asl
Making Excuses quotes by Farshad Asl
...You live in a world making excuses for their failure because it is easier to quit than to keep trying. I cannot allow you to walk that path of despair. I came here to help you live at peace with yourself so that you can fulfill your destiny with pride and a contented heart. ~ - Og Mandino
Making Excuses quotes by - Og Mandino
Leadership - leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses. ~ Mitt Romney
Making Excuses quotes by Mitt Romney
Him aloof or cold, only shy and on occasion melancholy. Some felt that perhaps in his past lay a tragedy with which he had never been able to make his peace, that the only companion with which he felt comfortable was sorrow. Amalia was somewhat distressed. "Somebody should have cleaned up these dishes and emptied the refrigerator before things in it spoiled. Leaving it like this ... it's just wrong." I shrugged. "Maybe no one cared about him." My sister seemed to care about everyone, even making excuses for our parents at their ~ Dean Koontz
Making Excuses quotes by Dean Koontz
We are about getting things done. We are not about the blame game. We are not about making excuses. ~ Tony Abbott
Making Excuses quotes by Tony Abbott
Dear Young Black Males, Please listen to me closely. You have to start making smart choices in your life because, if you don't, the judge won't have any problems locking you up and throwing away the key. FYI: They're charging minors as adults in some cases nowadays. Trust me, they don't care about your life. They will wash you up in a heartbeat, simply because you're a black male. Following the crowd will get you caught up. Trying to play the hard role will get you caught up. Trying to show out for others just to make a name for yourself will get you caught up. Stealing, robbing, selling drugs, etc…it will all catch up with you sooner or later. The statics for black males in prison is alarming. Give yourself a chance! Find another way! No matter what upbringing you've had, it's up to you to make a change. You can't live your life making excuses for why you do what you do. Prove them all wrong! Prove to yourself that you're better than the life that was dealt to you. Rise up my brothas! You're much better than that. ~ Stephanie Lahart
Making Excuses quotes by Stephanie Lahart
He is convinced that the people who might mean something to him will always misjudge him and pass him by. He is not so much afraid of loneliness as he is of accepting cheap substitutes; of making excuses to himself for a teacher who flatters him, of waking up some morning to find himself admiring a girl merely because she is accessible. He has a dread of easy compromises, and he is terribly afraid of being fooled. ~ Willa Cather
Making Excuses quotes by Willa Cather
First, we parents have to back up school authority and quit making excuses for our kids when they misbehave. ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton
Making Excuses quotes by Hillary Rodham Clinton
You're just saying how you felt. That's different from making excuses. ~ Haruki Murakami
Making Excuses quotes by Haruki Murakami
The alternative to this truce-marriage is to determine to see your own selfishness as a fundamental problem and to treat it more seriously than you do your spouse's. Why? Only you have complete access to your own selfishness, and only you have complete responsibility for it. So each spouse should take the Bible seriously, should make a commitment to "give yourself up." You should stop making excuses for selfishness, you should begin to root it out as it's revealed to you, and you should do so regardless of what your spouse is doing. If two spouses each say, "I'm going to treat my self-centeredness as the main problem in the marriage," you have the prospect of a truly great marriage. ~ Timothy J. Keller
Making Excuses quotes by Timothy J. Keller
Quit making excuses. What we're really talking about here is commitment. Until you make a commitment to your dream, it's not a commitment at all. It's just another fantasy. And fantasies don't come true because they're not real, we're not committed to them. When we make commitments, they become dreams. And dreams are very real. ~ Rudy Ruettiger
Making Excuses quotes by Rudy Ruettiger
Once you've experienced the joy of taking the first step, you can decide whether it's appropriate to take another. You'll know you're ready when your current step becomes automatic, effortless, and even pleasurable. But don't let anyone pressure you... If you ever feel yourself dreading the activity or making excuses for not performing it, it's time to cut back on the size of the step. ~ Robert Maurer
Making Excuses quotes by Robert Maurer
Success involves avoiding the lure of making excuses. ~ Jeffrey Fry
Making Excuses quotes by Jeffrey Fry
If I'd known things would end this way, we could have gone and done all that stuff instead of making excuses about my job, about how your mother couldn't spare the time, ~ Banana Yoshimoto
Making Excuses quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
Stop making excuses and start doing what makes you profoundly happy! ~ Diana Dentinger
Making Excuses quotes by Diana Dentinger
The mind gives up a lot sooner than the body, making it tough to know if you're really in trouble or if you're just making excuses, calling it quits before you've reached your full potential. ~ Kara Richardson Whitely
Making Excuses quotes by Kara Richardson Whitely
We will never accomplish what God wants for our lives unless we stop making excuses for ourselves and pampering our flesh. When we get into seemingly impossible situations, we have to remember - it's not about us. ~ Monica Johnson
Making Excuses quotes by Monica Johnson
As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined. ~ Michael Gove
Making Excuses quotes by Michael Gove
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse. ~ William Shakespeare
Making Excuses quotes by William Shakespeare
Although consciousness is a patchwork of competing and often contradictory tendencies, the left brain ignores inconsistencies and papers over obvious gaps in order to give us a smooth sense of a single "I." In other words, the left brain is constantly making excuses, some of them harebrained and preposterous, to make sense of the world. It is constantly asking "Why?" and dreaming up excuses even if the question has no answer. ~ Michio Kaku
Making Excuses quotes by Michio Kaku
Until YOU get enough of what you're going through, no matter what advice a person gives you, you'll continue to go through the same thing. When you get the courage to stop making excuses for them, and stop excusing their behavior, then you'll be able to break free from that unhealthy situation. You've got to be willing to face YOUR truth in order to move on and be at peace. You matter! ~ Stephanie Lahart
Making Excuses quotes by Stephanie Lahart
Conditions are seldom ideal, and if one waits long enough for ideal conditions one is just making excuses. ~ Bernd Heinrich
Making Excuses quotes by Bernd Heinrich
We have to stop making excuses. One of the things that I'm careful to show is the horrendous effects of institutional and structural racism, but in the end, you can't wait for white man or a Black man to come riding in on a white horse to save you. We have to save ourselves, and that's the lesson of "The African Americans." ~ Henry Louis Gates
Making Excuses quotes by Henry Louis Gates
The stark racial differences in crime rates undoubtedly impact black-white relations in America. So long as they persist, young black men will make people nervous. Discussions about the problem can be useful if they are honest, which is rare. Liberals don't help matters by making excuses for counterproductive behavior. Nor does the media by shying away from reporting the truth. ~ Jason L. Riley
Making Excuses quotes by Jason L. Riley
Most come up with New Year Resolutions...
Others are busy making Excuses...
A few are following through with Execution...
Design your New Year Intentionally. ~ Farshad Asl
Making Excuses quotes by Farshad Asl
Making excuses is not going to get me any closer to my goals. ~ Ali Vincent
Making Excuses quotes by Ali Vincent
Stop making excuses and start making history. ~ A.D. Posey
Making Excuses quotes by A.D. Posey
The boy who had stood with such grace after the storm had become the storm, and all that was beautiful within him was swept away in a deluge of his own making. ~ Clayton Kinnelon Greiman
Making Excuses quotes by Clayton Kinnelon Greiman
It's very different doing a food show in America and doing one in Britain. I did a 20-part series for the BBC series called 'Eating With the Enemy.' The budget for all 20 episodes was probably the budget for a single episode of 'Top Chef.' It's the difference between making a home movie in your backyard and going to Hollywood. ~ Toby Young
Making Excuses quotes by Toby Young
Climate is not responding to greenhouse gases in the way we thought it might. If increasing carbon dioxide is in fact increasing climate change, its impact is smaller than natural variation. People are being misled by people making money out of this. ~ Chris De Freitas
Making Excuses quotes by Chris De Freitas
No difference of rank, position, or birth is so great as the gulf that spearates the countless millions who use their head only in the service of their belly, in other words, look upon it as an instrument of the will, and those very few and rare persons who have the courage to say: No! It is too good for that; my head shall be active only in its own service; it shall try to comprehend the wondrous and varied spectacle of this world, and then reproduce it in some form, whether as art or as literature, that may answer to my character as an individual. These are the truly noble, the real noblesse of the world. The others are serfs and go with the soil. Of course, I am here referring to those who have not only the courage, but also the call, and therfore the right, to order the head to quit the service of the will; with a result that proves the sacrifice to have been worth the making. In the case of those to whom all this can only partially apply, the gulf is not so wide; but even though their talent be small, so long as it is real, there will always be a sharp line of demarcation between them and the millions. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Making Excuses quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Rather than thinking in terms of a specific genre or specific kind of thing, I hope I can just stay relatively small and keep making my movies. If I can keep writing them and making them, I'll be happy. ~ Rian Johnson
Making Excuses quotes by Rian Johnson
Blizzard or no blizzard I start out. So business gets done. They think money making is a joke. No, take pains and rack your brains. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Making Excuses quotes by Leo Tolstoy
To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That's what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games - nothing like saving the world. ~ Elon Musk
Making Excuses quotes by Elon Musk
Don't be good, be great. Strive to be exceptional. Picture yourself making a great play. Don't let anyone stop you. ~ Dan Hampton
Making Excuses quotes by Dan Hampton
Shift from being afraid of making a mistake to being afraid of not making a mistake. If you are not making any mistakes, you are not learning or growing ~ Susan Jeffers
Making Excuses quotes by Susan Jeffers
Given that most movies are bad, and that there are whole categories and sub-categories of badness - the sequel, the Madonna Movie, the Friday 13th Series, or Movies Starring John Travolta Before Pulp Fiction - it is almost impossible to choose a single film for worst movie of all time. But strangely, I do have a nomination and I believe it is actually the worst movie ever made. It is Boxing Helena. The director is David Lynch's daughter, and the film comes with the almost insane-making faults that the family connection might imply. ~ Andrew O'Hagan
Making Excuses quotes by Andrew O'Hagan
I think my family, especially having three teenage sons, keeps my cooking at home grounded and very approachable. I'm definitely not making spumas in my kitchen, that's for sure! ~ Rick Tramonto
Making Excuses quotes by Rick Tramonto
Science and technology has tried to offer an alternative to religion by making a god out of human reason, but that didn't work out too well. ~ Thomas Keating
Making Excuses quotes by Thomas Keating
His eyes are open, watching my flushed face, my ragged breathing. I try to stop myself from making embarrassing noises. It's more intimate than the way he's touching me, to be looked at like that. I hate that he knows what he's doing and I don't. I hate being vulnerable. I hate that I throw my head back, baring my throat. I hate the way I cling to him, the nails of one hand digging into his back, my thoughts splintering, and the single last thing in my head: that I like him better than I've ever liked anyone and that of all the things he's ever done to me, making me like him so much is by far the worst. ~ Holly Black
Making Excuses quotes by Holly Black
Out beyond our world there are, elsewhere, other assemblages of matter making other worlds. Ours is not the only one in air's embrace. ~ Lucretius
