If you ever were bullied, you'll always remember that feeling. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
Odette felt as if she were floating. She could still feel Jorgen's lips on hers, ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
Even Proust - there's a famous passage where Odette opens the door with a cold, she's sulky, her hair is loose and undone, her skin is patchy, and Swann, who has never cared about her until that moment, falls in love with her because she looks like a Botticelli girl from a slightly damaged fresco. Which Proust himself only knew from a reproduction. He never saw the original, in the Sistine Chapel. But even so - the whole novel is in some ways about that moment. And the damage is part of the attraction, the painting's blotchy cheeks. Even through a copy Proust was able to re-dream that image, re-shape reality with it, pull something all his own from it into the world. Because - the line of beauty is the line of beauty. It doesn't matter if it's been through the Xerox machine a hundred times. ~ Donna Tartt
Odette quotes by Donna Tartt
Betty White is a riot. She is a good time! That is the bottom line: Betty White is a good time. She is really an incredible woman. She is so kind. She doesn't have one mean bone in her body, and she is the funniest woman in the room always. And you'll never hear one complaint from her. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
But the presence of Odette continued to sow in Swann's heart alternate seeds of love and suspicion. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
I'm obsessed with socks. I even wear them to bed! ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
It was not only Odette's indifference, however, that he must take pains to circumvent; it was also, not infrequently, his own; feeling that, since Odette had had every facility for seeing him, she seemed no longer to have very much to say to him when they did meet, he was afraid lest the manner - at once trivial, monotonous, and seemingly unalterable - which she now adopted when they were together should ultimately destroy in him that romantic hope, that a day might come when she would make avowal of her passion, by which hope alone he had become and would remain her lover. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
You were in the trunk while they - "
This time, Gentry closed his eyes.
"Please. I'm going to have flashbacks. I don't want flashbacks."
Sophie couldn't contain their amusement any longer and broke out into laughter.
"Odette, you naughty girl!"
"I didn't know he was back there!" She didn't turn around. Odette didn't want to see the look on Sophie's face.
"If I did, I wouldn't have climbed into Keahi's lap in the first place!"
"Okay!," Gentry said. "I don't need visuals, either. ~ Tovaley B. Kysel
Odette quotes by Tovaley B. Kysel
„But I hate her," protested Odette.
"Oh, I'm sure you think you do," said Marcel cheerfully, "but you're still young. It takes decades to really hate someone." Odette sighed heavily. "I'll tell you what, if, after fifteen years, you still think you hate her, we'll do something about it. ~ Daniel O'Malley
Odette quotes by Daniel O'Malley
Hiking is something that I really, really like to do. It's distracting, you're in nature, and you get a nice workout that way. I would tell everyone to hike as much as they can - you just feel so much better when you get outdoors. I'm also into yoga. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
This compulsion to an activity without respite, without variety, without result was so cruel that one day, noticing a swelling over his stomach, he felt an actual joy in the idea that he had, perhaps, a tumor that would prove fatal, that he need not concern himself with anything further, since it was this malady that was going to govern his life, to make a plaything of him, until the not-distant end. If indeed, at his period, it often happened that, though without admitting it even to himself, he longed for death, it was in order to escape not so much from the keenness of his sufferings as from the monotony of his struggle. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
I have some girls who I look back on and I think, 'Wow, they were really horrible to me.' I would love an apology from a few girls, but whatever. I'm not holding any grudges. I'm over it. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
'The Exorcist' is absolutely my favorite horror film, and I watched it when I was, like, seven years old with my mother for the first time. I don't know why my mom let me watch that. I couldn't go to the bathroom by myself. I couldn't go upstairs by myself. I couldn't sleep. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
I absolutely love what I do, and I want to dance for as long as I can and feel good about what I'm putting out there on the stage. But my goal has always been to be a principal dancer with ABT. Before I knew that there'd never been a black woman that was always my goal. I wanted to dance "Odette-Odile" and Kitri in "Don Quixote" and Aurora in "Sleeping Beauty." So that's still my goal. But knowing that it's never been done before I think makes me fight even harder. ~ Misty Copeland
Odette quotes by Misty Copeland
It was true that Odette played vilely, but often the most memorable impression of a piece of music is one that has arisen out of a jumble of wrong notes struck by unskilful fingers upon a tuneless piano. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
I think I'm pretty fearless. I like to try things at least once, things that I never thought that I would try. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
I had a great time in high school. I really did. I went to a private Christian high school and I graduated in a class of 67 kids, so it was pretty small, and I knew and loved everybody. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
I'm Cuban, so I like a bit of curve. I just want my booty to have a little lift! ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
The world needs more people like you, Odette." She smiled to lighten the mood."And you, Jorgen Hortman. ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
Bucks, doe - thank God everything boils down to money, I always say."
"During mating season the doe constructs a bed for herself, and then she urinates all around the outside of it. That's how she gets her mate."
"So that's it," murmured Odette. "I was always peeing in the bed. ~ Lorrie Moore
Odette quotes by Lorrie Moore
I have superfine, superoily hair, so my struggle is always trying to get the volume I want. I end up not doing much with it ever. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
But doesn't love cause too much pain?" she said. "To be worth it?" "It causes pain, indeed," Grumpy said. "But it's worth it. It's a good pain. ~ Odette Beane
Odette quotes by Odette Beane
Sometimes things weren't all that complicated. We just make them complicated in order to hide from them. "I'm ~ Odette Beane
Odette quotes by Odette Beane
Even though the dance floor was filled with beauty and color enough to dazzle any eye, Odette had no desire to look away from Jorgen as she stepped toward him, clasped his hands, then let go as they stepped back. ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
It's easy to lose sight of what's real when you're lost in the stars. ~ Renee Ahdieh
Odette quotes by Renee Ahdieh
From that evening, Swann understood that the feeling which Odette had once had for him would never revive, that his hopes of happiness would not be realised now. And the days on which, by a lucky chance, she had once more shewn herself kind and loving to him, or if she had paid him any attention, he recorded those apparent and misleading signs of a slight movement on her part towards him with the same tender and sceptical solicitude, the desperate joy that people reveal who, when they are nursing a friend in the last days of an incurable malady, relate, as significant facts of infinite value: "Yesterday he went through his accounts himself, and actually corrected a mistake that we had made in adding them up; he ate an egg to-day and seemed quite to enjoy it, if he digests it properly we shall try him with a cutlet to-morrow,"
although they themselves know that these things are meaningless on the eve of an inevitable death. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
Believe in yourself. That's real magic. ~ Odette Beane
Odette quotes by Odette Beane
In Swann's mind, however, these words, meeting no opposition, settled and hardened until they assumed the indestructibility of a truth so indubitable that, if some friend happened to tell him that he had come by the same train and had not seen Odette, Swann would have been convinced that it was his friend who had made a mistake as to the day or hour, since his version did not agree with the words uttered by Odette. These words had never appeared to him false except when, before hearing them, he had suspected that they were going to be. For him to believe that she was lying, and anticipatory suspicion was indispensable. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
Just as he finished speaking with the margrave, he turned and smiled at Odette. Her breath caught in her throat at how good he looked. A ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
We don't do that in New York," rasped Odette. She cleared her throat.
"No?" Pinky smiled and put his hand on her thigh.
"No, it's, um, the cash machines. You just ... you wait at them. Forever. Your whole life you're just always" - her hand sliced the air - "there. ~ Lorrie Moore
Odette quotes by Lorrie Moore
My first audition happened to be for 'Kindergarten Cop,' and I took that role. I was only starting to learn English at that point. Spanish is my first language, so they made me a speaking character in the movie. I didn't really know I was shooting a movie. I was just having a lot of fun with 30 kids my own age. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
When you're bullied in high school, even if it's the smallest amount, or you're actually tortured, I feel like everybody carries that with them. They always think of that one person who treated them badly in high school. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
Good God! Think of listening to Wagner for a whole fortnight with a woman who takes about as much interest in music as a tone-deaf newt - that would be fun! ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
JORGEN COULD NOT take his eyes off Odette. The mask somehow made her even more mysterious . . . and desirable. ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
When you're shooting a movie, it's two months of your life usually. You don't really have time to see anybody else. Your friends are put on hold while you're shooting, and what you have is the family that you create on set. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
What agony he suffered as he watched that light, in whose golden atmosphere were moving, behind the closed sash, the unseen and detested pair, as he listened to that murmur which revealed the presence of the man who had crept in after his own departure, the perfidy of Odette, and the pleasures which she was at that moment tasting with the stranger.
And yet he was not sorry that he had come; the torment which had forced him to leave his own house had lost its sharpness when it lost its uncertainty, now that Odette's other life, of which he had had, at that first moment, a sudden helpless suspicion, was definitely there, almost within his grasp, before his eyes, in the full glare of the lamp-light, caught and kept there, an unwitting prisoner, in that room into which, when he would, he might force his way to surprise and seize it; or rather he would tap upon the shutters, as he had often done when he had come there very late, and by that signal Odette would at least learn that he knew, that he had seen the light and had heard the voices; while he himself, who a moment ago had been picturing her as laughing at him, as sharing with that other the knowledge of how effectively he had been tricked, now it was he that saw them, confident and persistent in their error, tricked and trapped by none other than himself, whom they believed to be a mile away, but who was there, in person, there with a plan, there with the knowledge that he was going, in another minute, to tap upon the ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
Odette seemed a fascinating and desirable woman, the attraction which her body held for him had aroused a painful longing to secure the absolute mastery of even the tiniest particles of her heart. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
I had always wanted to lend my voice to a character. I did a voice for this video game, called 'Fallout 3,' and that was really fun. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
You're a tool, to be used and directed for the good of the people. Sometimes you'll be a scalpel, cutting out disease. Sometimes you'll be a sword, and you'll take on threats with all the strength you can muster. And sometimes, Odette, you'll be a stiletto, a hidden weapon that slides quietly into the heart. ~ Daniel O'Malley
Odette quotes by Daniel O'Malley
Keahi: I didn't save you, Odette. I won't take credit for it. You saved yourself, and you saved me.
Odete: So am I the princess or the hero?
Keahi: I don't see why the princess can't be the hero. Princesses are pretty heroic, after all. ~ Tovaley B. Kysel
Odette quotes by Tovaley B. Kysel
Magic is like silver cutlery, Ebony, you only bring it out to either impress, or stab, important guests. ~ Odette C. Bell
Odette quotes by Odette C. Bell
Odette nodded at my notebook, where I was writing as she spoke. 'Do the people in America really want to read this? People tell me to write these things down, but it's written inside of me. I almost hope for the day when I can forget. ~ Philip Gourevitch
Odette quotes by Philip Gourevitch
He stood gazing at her; traces of the old fresco were apparent in her face and limbs, and these he tried incessantly, afterwards, to recapture, both when he was with Odette, and when he was only thinking of her in her absence; and, albeit his admiration for the Florentine masterpiece was probably based upon his discovery that it had been reproduced in her, the similarity enhanced her beauty also, and rendered her more precious in his sight. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
And then, while she was making them some orangeade, suddenly, just as when the reflector of a lamp that is badly fitted begins by casting all round an object, on the wall beyond it, huge and fantastic shadows which, in time, contract and are lost in the shadow of the object itself, all the terrible and disturbing ideas which he had formed of Odette melted away and vanished in the charming creature who stood there before his eyes. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
Beauty is what attracts men naturally, but really I think we dress for other women, not necessarily for men. We torture ourselves every single day, and I wish that we wouldn't because we should all just get along, really. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
When Odette ceased to be for him a creature always absent, longed for, imaginary, when the feeling he had for her was no longer the same mysterious disturbance caused in him by the phrase from the sonata, but affection, gratitude, when normal relations were established between them that would put an end to his madness and his gloom, then no doubt the actions of Odette's daily life would appear to him of little interest in themselves ... (p. 302, In Search of Lost Time Vol. 1 The Way by Swann's, Lydia Davis translation) ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
Wait. Please." Odette touched his hand. She wasn't sure what to say to him, but she couldn't bear for him to leave. "Stay with me." He stared down at her hand and bowed his head over it. She couldn't resist lifting her other hand to touch his hair. It was as soft as she thought it would be. When he didn't move, she slowly wrapped a lock of it around her fingertip. There was sadness in the way his shoulders and head were bowed. ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
I suggest you marry Jorgen Hartman. In fact, I strongly suggest it." Odette looked at Jorgen. He looked back at her. By his wide eyes and open mouth, he had not expected the margrave to say that any more than she had. She ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
Jorgen!" Mathis strode up to Jorgen's side. "I hope you are not going to dance with this lovely swan all night." "I had hoped I would." Jorgen winked at her. Odette smiled at him. ~ Melanie Dickerson
Odette quotes by Melanie Dickerson
Sometimes life is just messy no matter what you do," she [Emma] said. ~ Odette Beane
Odette quotes by Odette Beane
An hour or so later he received a note from Odette. Swann had left his cigarette case at her house. "If only," she wrote, "you had also forgotten your heart! I should never have let you have it back. ~ Marcel Proust
Odette quotes by Marcel Proust
I did a voice for this video game called 'Fallout 3,' and that was really fun. I had a great time, especially since I could show up in PJs and not have to worry about how I looked. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
I'm kind of in between organized and messy, so if I have the right things to keep me organized, it's easier for me to stay that way. If I don't have the right tools, I'm a train wreck. ~ Odette Annable
Odette quotes by Odette Annable
A man's voice was saying, "Odette seems a little off tonight."
"You think?" answered a woman.
"Less confident than last night's," said the man. "I wonder if she's injured." A loud put-upon sigh. "Not to mention that the swans sound more like a herd of elephants."
Oh, come on, Grigori wanted to say: You spoiled, spoiled people. The dancer was wonderful, just like the swan-girls, doing their best to deliver them magnificence. If she was "slightly off", it was nothing Grigori had been able to notice. These people - himself included - were all so thoroughly indulged, could they not simply accept the wonder of it, sitting in this lush, gilded theater while a live orchestra accompanied so much physical exquisiteness? And this man thought he had the right to be disappointed! That these people expected so much, that they could expect that much, and not be ashamed of their petty disappointments. ~ Daphne Kalotay
Odette quotes by Daphne Kalotay
But the lies which Odette ordinarily told were less innocent, and served to prevent discoveries which might have involved her in the most terrible difficulties with one or another of her friends. And so, when she lied, smitten with fear, feeling herself to be but feebly armed for her defence, unconfident of success, she was inclined to weep from sheer exhaustion, as children weep sometimes when they have not slept. She knew, also, that her lie, as a rule, was doing a serious injury to the man to whom she was telling it, and that she might find herself at his mercy if she told it badly. Therefore she felt at once humble and culpable in his presence. And when she had to tell an insignificant, social lie its hazardous associations, and the memories which it recalled, would leave her weak with a sense of exhaustion and penitent with a consciousness of wrongdoing. ~ Marcel Proust
