And although we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid. ~ Richard M. Sherman
Mrs Banks quotes by Richard M. Sherman
...it is the smallest house in the Lane. And besides that, it is the only one that is rather dilapidated and needs a coat of paint. But Mr. Banks, who owns it, said to Mrs. Banks that she could have either a nice, clean, comfortable house or four children. But not both, for he couldn't afford it. And after Mrs. Banks had given the matter some consideration she came to the conclusion that she would rather have Jane...and Michael...and John and Barbara, who were Twins and came last. So it was settled... ~ P.L. Travers
Mrs Banks quotes by P.L. Travers
The river, it's banks as yet untamed wandered languidly through thickets of rush and papyrus. Ibises waded in the shallows; in the deeps hippos rose and sank slowly like pickled eggs. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mrs Banks quotes by Terry Pratchett
I would love to do Rihanna's makeup. I love her cupid's bow! ~ Tyra Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Tyra Banks
I do like when you find a true personal relationship with any of the characters, you like to make that honest connection. And every once in a while, there's that glimmer where you got that line in where something happens, where you get to really talk. ~ Jonathan Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Jonathan Banks
What I don't like to see is when models of different races come in and out of fashion. ~ Tyra Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Tyra Banks
He went on thus to call over names celebrated in Scottish song, and most of which had recently received a romantic interest from his own pen. In fact, I saw a great part of the border country spread out before me, and could trace the scenes of those poems and romances which had, in a manner, bewitched the world. I gazed about me for a time with mute surprise, I may almost say with disappointment. I beheld a mere succession of gray waving hills, line beyond line, as far as my eye could reach; monotonous in their aspect, and so destitute of trees, that one could almost see a stout fly walking along their profile; and the far-famed Tweed appeared a naked stream, flowing between bare hills, without a tree or thicket on its banks; and yet, such had been the magic web of poetry and romance thrown over the whole, that it had a greater charm for me than the richest scenery I beheld in England.
I could not help giving utterance to my thoughts. Scott hummed for a moment to himself, and looked grave; he had no idea of having his muse complimented at the expense of his native hills. "It may be partiality," said he, at length; "but to my eye, these gray hills and all this wild border country have beauties peculiar to themselves. I like the very nakedness of the land; it has something bold, and stern, and solitary about it. When I have been for some time in the rich scenery about Edinburgh, which is like ornamented garden land, I begin to wish myself back again among my own honest gra ~ Washington Irving
Mrs Banks quotes by Washington Irving
They won't really shoot us, will they?" Faith whispered as they started forward.
"I'll pretend I'm in labor if they do any funny stuff," Angelina said in a low voice. "Pregnant women always scare the shit out of men. ~ Maya Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Maya Banks
We are such pathetic, fleshy things, so short lived, swarming and confused. ~ Iain M. Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Iain M. Banks
Women didn't go to school when they were young because parents preferred to send their brothers. The women couldn't access loans in their own right because the banks sought the approval of a male dependent. ~ Joyce Banda
Mrs Banks quotes by Joyce Banda
Well, in the end, there was no helping this. Sometimes you just had to adopt the attitude summed up by, Too bad. ~ Iain M. Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Iain M. Banks
WikiLeaks will not comply with legally abusive requests from Scientology any more than WikiLeaks has complied with similar demands from Swiss banks, Russian offshore stem-cell centers, former African kleptocrats, or the Pentagon. ~ Julian Assange
Mrs Banks quotes by Julian Assange
No. You show her how very much you love her by not letting her go. ~ Maya Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Maya Banks
He felt strangled by helplessness. ~ Maya Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Maya Banks
Life is like Tyra Bank's left breast. It's not right it's not fair & still people loves it for what it is. ~ Yatin Patel
Mrs Banks quotes by Yatin Patel
I have done good things in life. I have done bad things in life. But the beer has tasted great during both. ~ Thurman P. Banks Jr.
Mrs Banks quotes by Thurman P. Banks Jr.
From the beginning of time, we've had financial crises. People always blame the banks and for good reason. When you look for the root causes, they're almost always failed government policies. ~ Henry Paulson
Mrs Banks quotes by Henry Paulson
Why do banks charge you a "non-sufficient funds fee" on money they already know you don't have? ~ Steven Wright
Mrs Banks quotes by Steven Wright
A good plan is founded on a clear understanding of your goals for the long-term and the short-term. ~ Lisa Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Lisa Banks
But just because something does not have an ending doesn't mean it doesn't have a conclusion. ~ Iain M. Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Iain M. Banks
It was hard to get guys to notice me, period, because I was so skinny and all my friends were curvy. Plus, I used to be very nervous in front of guys. ~ Tyra Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Tyra Banks
It would be nice, after this was over, to take a long raft trip. Maybe Jen and I could paddle through Westwater and its ass-clenching rapids, then lounge on the banks in Moab for a week or two. That would be heaven: a raft trip with a beer in my hand instead of a rifle. I ~ Erik Storey
Mrs Banks quotes by Erik Storey
Banks should contribute to the real economy, make a positive contribution to economic growth. ~ Jeroen Dijsselbloem
Mrs Banks quotes by Jeroen Dijsselbloem
If I have my way, you'll have her no longer. ~ Maya Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Maya Banks
Did you hear that? I didn't hear anything. Put that question another way. ~ Ernie Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Ernie Banks
Emma, we don't have to kiss. She already knows I want to sleep with you."
He cringes as soon as he says it. He doesn't have to look up to know the sizzling sound in the kitchen is from Rachel spitting her pineapple juice into the hot skillet.
"What I mean is, I already told her I want to sleep with you. I mean, I told her i wanted to sleep with you because she already thinks I do. Want to, I mean-" If a Syrena could drown, this is what it would feel like. ~ Anna Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Anna Banks
It's hard to know more about a person's life than what that person wants you to know. ~ Russell Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Russell Banks
Galen is the shark. The shark is Galen. What I mean is, there is no shark. There's only Galen. ~ Anna Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Anna Banks
We [US government] have used our taxpayer dollars not only to subsidize these banks but also to subsidize the creditors of those banks and the equity holders in those banks. We could have talked about forcing those investors to take some serious hits on their risky dealings. The idea that taxpayer dollars go in first rather than last - after the equity has been used up - is shocking. ~ Elizabeth Warren
Mrs Banks quotes by Elizabeth Warren
I just discovered that there were so many lost movies that were all mine to take if I wanted to take them. I was drunk on greed when I encountered this motherlode of utterly fascinating narratives that time's great river washed up on its banks for me to just scavenge, and not even rub clean, just repurpose and take credit for. It was kind of one of those weird dreams that where you keep finding free money. ~ Guy Maddin
Mrs Banks quotes by Guy Maddin
Any intervention, such as that of the German Reichsbank in the Spring of 1923, in which only a small part of the increasing note-expansion was recovered by the banks through the sale of foreign bills, would necessarily be unsuccessful. Led by the idea of opposing speculation, inflationistic governments have allowed themselves to become involved in measures whose meaning is hardly intelligible. Thus at one time the importation of notes, then their exportation, then again both their exportation and importation, have been prohibited. Exporters have been forbidden to sell for their own country's notes, importers to buy with them. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Mrs Banks quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
All of it dust now, all of their precious humanoid civilization ground to junk under glaciers or weathered away by wind and spray and rain and frozen ice - all of it. Only this pathetic maze-tomb left.
So much for their humanity, or whatever they chose to call it, thought Unaha-Closp. Only their machines remained. But would any of the others learn? Would they see this for what it was, this frozen rockball? Would they, indeed! ~ Iain Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Iain Banks
I can do it, yes I can." from "You can do it, yes you can." Think Tank Ink for Scriptwriters. ~ Lena "Think Tank Ink" Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Lena
When in doubt, call for back-up. ~ Maya Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Maya Banks
The confessional writer will treat her story like a wailing wall. She kneels, and her story spills out, messy, improper. It isn't a protest or even graffiti, but her story is an offering of things that she overlooked or notices that others have overlooked. She is in danger of exposure but she remembers when she lived in hiding and that was worse. She cannot turn back now because this is how life has spun out of her, part vexing passage and part prayer. ~ Patricia Hickman
Mrs Banks quotes by Patricia Hickman
What should really be happening is a revolution. The system should be torn apart by the people and banks shouldn't be allowed to do what they do, and giant corporations shouldn't be allowed to run the world to the ground the way they're doing. But that's not happening for whatever reason. ~ Michael Shannon
Mrs Banks quotes by Michael Shannon
When a person quietly reconciles himself to all the contradictions that life offers, and can comfortably ride out or flow between the banks of pleasure and pain, experiencing them both, but getting stuck in neither, then he has achieved freedom. ~ Alexandra Stoddard
Mrs Banks quotes by Alexandra Stoddard
Each of us, in our own personal Factory, may believe we have stumbled down one corridor, and that our fate is sealed and certain (dream or nightmare, humdrum or bizarre, good or bad), but a word, a glance, a slip - anything can change that, alter it entirely, and our marble hall becomes a gutter, or our rat-maze a golden path. Our
destination is the same in the end, but our journey - part chosen, part determined- is
different for us all, and changes even as we live and grow. I thought one door had snicked shut behind me years ago; in fact I was still crawling about the face. Now the door closes, and my journey begins. ~ Iain Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Iain Banks
Emergency food has become very useful indeed, and to a very large assortment of people and institutions. The United States Department of Agriculture uses it to reduce the accumulation of embarrassing agricultural surpluses. Business uses it to dispose of nonstandard or unwanted product, to protect employee morale and avoid dump fees, and, of course, to accrue tax savings. Celebrities use it for exposure. Universities and hospitals, as well as caterers and restaurants, use it to absorb leftovers. Private schools use it to teach ethics, and public schools use it to instill a sense of civic responsibility. Churches use it to express their concern for the least of their brethren, and synagogues use it to be faithful to the tradition of including the poor at the table. Courts use it to avoid incarcerating people arrested for Driving While Intoxicated and a host of other offense. Environmentalists use it to reduce the solid waste stream. Penal institutions use it to create constructive outlets for the energies of their inmates, and youth-serving agencies of all sorts use it to provide service opportunities for young people. Both profit-making and nonprofit organizations use it to absorb unneeded kitchen and office equipment. A wide array of groups, organizations, and institutions benefits from the halo effect of 'feeding the hungry,' and this list does not even include the many functions for ordinary individuals--companionship, exercise, meaning, and purpose. . .If we didn't have h ~ Janet Poppendieck
Mrs Banks quotes by Janet Poppendieck
If you're an artist, you do what you do, and in a way, you don't even control the core essence of what you do. You try to mold it and develop a style, but the core elements of what you do are just part of who you are. ~ Paul Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Paul Banks
It's that beautiful thing to love your weaknesses, your insecurities, and then put them all on blast. That's why I started writing, and that's why it was so hard to do it in public. ~ Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Banks
She helps me to the bathroom, helps me wash, then helps me put a gazillion tangles in my hair while she shampoos it. And she actually thinks we're going to leave it that way.
"I'm not going downstairs looking like a hobo," I tell her. "We have to comb it."
"That thick mess will break this flimsy comb. Can't you just run your fingers through it?"
It's weird to be arguing about my hair when we still haven't discussed my wound, how I got it, and how I came to be snoring in Galen's bed. We both seem to appreciate the bizarreness at the same time. Mom raises a brow. "Don't think you get special treatment just because you can make a whale do the tango. I'm still your mother."
We both laugh so hard I think I feel a tiny rip in my newly dressed wound. Without warning, Mom throws her arms around me, careful to avoid touching it. "I'm so proud of you, Emma. And I know your father would be, too. Your grandfather can't stop talking about it. You were amazing."
Ah, the bonding power of tangled hair and dancing whales.
She releases me the second before it gets awkward. "Let's get you dressed. We have a lot to discuss. And I get you're starving. Rachel made you…uh…Upchuck Eggs."
"She gets an A for effort. ~ Anna Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Anna Banks
Finn said he's only coming back to be a subversive influence within the school. I had no idea what he meant by that, but I had to admit . . . it made me a little nervous. It's never wise to underestimate Finn. He's not the most morally centered person in the world. ~ Piper Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Piper Banks
Normally for photo shoots I get a full wax, some tanning, a facial. ~ Elizabeth Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Elizabeth Banks
Life is not mean, it is grand; if it is mean to any, he or she makes it so. God made it glorious. It is paved with diamonds; its banks he fringed with flowers. He overarched it with stars. Around it He spread the glory of the physical universe-suns, moon, worlds, constellations, systems-all that is magnificent in motion, sublime in magnitude, and grand in order and obedience. God would not have attended life with this broad march of grandeur if it did not mean something. ~ Orison Swett Marden
Mrs Banks quotes by Orison Swett Marden
What is all your studying worth, all your learning, all your knowledge, if it doesn't lead to wisdom? And what's wisdom but knowing what is right, and what is the right thing to do? ~ Iain Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Iain Banks
Safe isn't always better than sorry.
Sometimes you need sorry to appreciate the
safe. And sometimes safe is just plain boring. ~ Anna Banks
Mrs Banks quotes by Anna Banks
The wise man knows that it is better to sit on the banks of a remote mountain stream than to be emperor of the whole world. ~ Zhuangzi
Mrs Banks quotes by Zhuangzi
It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Mrs Banks quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
