When she started to play, Steinway came down personally and rubbed his name off the piano. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
I don't think of any sentence as a "one-liner", but I do pay attention to how people actually speak when they are being funny. Rhythm is key. ~ Lorrie Moore
One Liner quotes by Lorrie Moore
I hope you will meet the moon - not a mountain. ~ Giovannie De Sadeleer
One Liner quotes by Giovannie De Sadeleer
Anger is an energy. It really bloody is. It's possibly the most powerful one-liner I've ever come up with. When I was writing the Public Image Ltd song 'Rise', I didn't quite realize the emotional impact that it would have on me, or anyone who's ever heard it since. I wrote it in an almost throwaway fashion, off the top of my head, pretty much when I was about to sing the whole song for the first time, at my then new home in Los Angeles. It's a tough, spontaneous idea. 'Rise' was looking at the context of South Africa under apartheid. I'd be watching these horrendous news reports on CNN, and so lines like 'They put a hotwire to my head, because of the things I did and said', are a reference to the torture techniques that the apartheid government was using out there. Insufferable. You'd see these reports on TV and in the papers, and feel that this was a reality that simply couldn't be changed. So, in the context of 'Rise', 'Anger is an energy' was an open statement, saying, 'Don't view anger negatively, don't deny it – use it to be creative.' I combined that with another refrain, 'May the road rise with you'. When I was growing up, that was a phrase my mum and dad – and half the surrounding neighbourhood, who happened to be Irish also – used to say. 'May the road rise, and your enemies always be behind you!' So it's saying, 'There's always hope', and that you don't always have to resort to violence to resolve an issue. Anger doesn't necessarily equate directly to violence. Vio ~ John Lydon
One Liner quotes by John Lydon
People's expectations of what I'm capable of doing are very low. People have been used to hearing little one-liners and me play around. ~ Nicki Minaj
One Liner quotes by Nicki Minaj
A man's weakest spots are almost always closest to his passions. ~ Auliq Ice
One Liner quotes by Auliq Ice
You may as well tell our readers that death and taxes are coming back. ~ Dani Kollin
One Liner quotes by Dani Kollin
When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners. ~ Mike Birbiglia
One Liner quotes by Mike Birbiglia
The most common one-liner in the Bible is, "Do not be afraid." Someone counted, and it occurs 365 times. ~ Richard Rohr
One Liner quotes by Richard Rohr
Good things come in small packages.
Shopping isn't a good thing, so be ready to carry big packages! ~ Shubham Choudhary
One Liner quotes by Shubham Choudhary
I think you often say more by saying less. And interestingly enough, I mean, Jesus really set the standard. I mean, he could say more with fewer words than anybody. Most of the parables were less than 250 words. And, boy, did he have some one-liners just packed with truth. ~ Mark Batterson
One Liner quotes by Mark Batterson
Now it's going to turn into the biggest media blitz since the Pope's divorce. ~ Dani Kollin
One Liner quotes by Dani Kollin
I circumnavigate the globe with a one-liner like latitude. ~ Ras Kass
One Liner quotes by Ras Kass
It's not a 24-hour news cycle, it's a 60-second news cycle now, it's instantaneous. It has never been easier to get away with telling lies. It has never been easier to get away with the glib one liner. ~ Malcolm Turnbull
One Liner quotes by Malcolm Turnbull
It's always a good feeling when you can produce just the right one-liner to prove your point so tidily. ~ Emily Giffin
One Liner quotes by Emily Giffin
We both were there, but alone. "Bye," she said and left; I was alone; again, one more time. ~ Vikrmn
One Liner quotes by Vikrmn
Now that the war is winding down, I want to say I do appreciate you fellows hanging around here - just for me. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
I want to do it all. I want to climb mountains, go through jungles, fight wars in space, get the girl, shoot the bad-guy full of lead, have all the zippy one liners, bulge muscles out of a singlet, drip sweat and blood on screen, all of that. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
One Liner quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
What a shame to be so afraid of failure that you stop living. My wife has a great one-liner about failure: "Never consider yourself a failure-you can always serve as a bad example." She is right. Failure can be a better teacher than success. ~ Bernie Siegel
One Liner quotes by Bernie Siegel
There are three kinds of people: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those who move. ~ Benjamin Franklin
One Liner quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A sign to me is a one-liner, a symbol is very complex and my house is a series of symbols. ~ Charles Jencks
One Liner quotes by Charles Jencks
The truth is that Ron is my hero. He's always there for his friends - sometimes belligerently, but there nevertheless. He's also the comic relief in stressful situations; the funny guy with a great one-liner. And no matter how scared he may be, he will put aside his fears to support and protect the people he loves. To me, that represents true courage. ~ Rupert Grint
One Liner quotes by Rupert Grint
If I write something down, it's normally just a sharp one-liner. ~ Courtney Barnett
One Liner quotes by Courtney Barnett
I did a play called 'On Golden Pond' in a dinner theater in Maine and then went to New York for a talent competition having put together a three-man juggling routine and some one-liners and I got myself an agent from that. ~ Patrick Dempsey
One Liner quotes by Patrick Dempsey
Every Republican has a one-liner on ObamaCare. I've got detailed plans on energy independence, on school choice, on health care, on foreign policy. They all hire somebody to write their plans. They can borrow mine. I've actually got ideas. Enough with the slick talkers. Let's elect somebody that's done something. ~ Bobby Jindal
One Liner quotes by Bobby Jindal
Lord, thy one-liners are as good as thy tricks. Thou art indeed an all-round family entertainer. ~ Rowan Atkinson
One Liner quotes by Rowan Atkinson
I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian. ~ Erma Bombeck
One Liner quotes by Erma Bombeck
I think, with certain characters, you have to listen. Sometimes, listening can be funnier: the thing you don't say is the one-liner. That's the ying to the yang. ~ Ray Santiago
One Liner quotes by Ray Santiago
Telling a joke is risk taking. Younger people are more insecure and not willing to put themselves on the line, so a quick one-liner is much safer. ~ Robert Orben
One Liner quotes by Robert Orben
I guess the one-liner kind of comic sounds like a guy who can talk and talk and whatever the subject is, he can pull out a one-liner, but I couldn't do that. I didn't like the association. I mean, I love Steven Wright, but so many people started saying "Steven Wright" to me, and I would get mad, because I never wanted to be thought of as copying anybody. ~ Mitch Hedberg
One Liner quotes by Mitch Hedberg
People are clever, but almost no one ever devises an optimal quip precisely at the needed moment. Therefore, virtually all great one-liners are later inventions - words that people wished they had spouted, but failed to manufacture at the truly opportune instant. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
One Liner quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
I am known as a one liner man because I don't give chance to people to read between the lines. ~ Amit Abraham
One Liner quotes by Amit Abraham
A lantern can give you light only when you light it ~ Munia Khan
One Liner quotes by Munia Khan
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. ~ Emo Philips
One Liner quotes by Emo Philips
I do benefits for all religions - I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
Hold your horses. I'm coming." ...
"From where I'm standing you're just breathing laboriously."
The snow swam out of focus. "Breathing hard. Are you coming or just breathing hard. You've got to get your one-liners straight. ~ Ilona Andrews
One Liner quotes by Ilona Andrews
I spilled spot remover on my dog; now he's gone. ~ Steven Wright
One Liner quotes by Steven Wright
It flies so high, I swear I heard the organs playing. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
What positions are kings supposed to put themselves in?"
"Padded rooms without windows or pointy objects, if my staff had its druthers."
"No pointy objects at all?" Kaika quirked an eyebrow. "Doesn't sound like much fun. ~ Lindsay Buroker
One Liner quotes by Lindsay Buroker
I have a wonderful make-up crew. They're the same people restoring the Statue of Liberty. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
I don't think every joke has to be so dadgum cerebral. I mix it up really good, because that's the kind of humor I like. I like the goofy one-liner type stuff. ~ Larry The Cable Guy
One Liner quotes by Larry The Cable Guy
If horses had controlled investment decisions, there would have been no auto industry. ~ Warren Buffett
One Liner quotes by Warren Buffett
Eisenhower admitted that the budget can't be balanced and McCarthy said the communists are taking over. You don't know what to worry about these days - whether the country will be overthrown or overdrawn. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
Bridget reckons John Lennon wrote a song about her. I'm guessing it was 'Give Peace a Chance'. ~ Bridget Golightly
One Liner quotes by Bridget Golightly
I think brilliant stuff comes out of working with limitations. One liners are very limiting, but that's what drew me to them in the first place. ~ Anthony Jeselnik
One Liner quotes by Anthony Jeselnik
No one-liner can ever be optimal. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
One Liner quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
The actors come in and they make characters their own and so Patrick and I have never been the kind to think that our script is the bible. We want to make sure that the story is told, that you stick to the story but if you have to make changes to the character then that's fine. A lot of times there are some funny one-liners, funny things that happen that are out of the ordinary. I like it. ~ Todd Farmer
One Liner quotes by Todd Farmer
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? ~ Steven Wright
One Liner quotes by Steven Wright
The koloss he'd attacked did not rise. Its companions stood, looking unconcerned, though their eyes were focused on him. They seemed to want something.
"He ate my horse," Elend said, saying the first thing that came to his clouded mind.
The group of koloss nodded. ~ Brandon Sanderson
One Liner quotes by Brandon Sanderson
It occurs to me that John McCain is as intellectually shallow as our current President ... Bush goes bumbling along, grinning and spewing moronic one-liners, as though nobody understands what a colossal failure he has been ... I fear to the depth of my being that John McCain is just like him. ~ Jack Cafferty
One Liner quotes by Jack Cafferty
Seventy years of ad-lib material, and I am speechless. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
I thought words were supposed to be my thing."
"Can you make change for a dollar?"
"Yes . . ."
"Then I can occasionally come up with a witty one-liner. ~ Seanan McGuire
One Liner quotes by Seanan McGuire
I've got to watch myself these days. It's too exciting watching anyone else. ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
Wow! So beautiful. Which star? Planet, not star; It WAS called Earth. ~ Vikrmn
One Liner quotes by Vikrmn
The poor soul would have been 100 - if he'd lived another twelve years. Apparently he asked to be scattered over the place where he spent his happiest moments - but Bridget wasn't keen no having ash all over her duvet. ~ Bridget Golightly
One Liner quotes by Bridget Golightly
The last time I played golf with President Ford he hit a birdie. And an eagle, a moose, an elk, an aardvark ... ~ Bob Hope
One Liner quotes by Bob Hope
He who laughs last, thinks slowest. ~ Larry The Cable Guy
One Liner quotes by Larry The Cable Guy
When you serve a beer-cock an ear. ~ John Shirley
One Liner quotes by John Shirley
I believe in holding still. I believe that the secrets we hold in our hearts are our anchors, that even the unspoken between us is a measure of our every promise to the living and to the dead. And all our promises, like all our hopes, move us through life with the power of an ocean liner pushing through the sea. ~ Fae Myenne Ng
One Liner quotes by Fae Myenne Ng
The CD is now the wax album and so it is a collector's item for people who collect music and love to look at the liner notes and feel paper. I don't know what would turn them on about having to go through that terrible exercise of trying to open the packaging - it's unbelievable when you're trying to open a CD, right? You need a box cutter . ~ MC Hammer
One Liner quotes by MC Hammer
To us large creatures, space-time is like the sea seen from an ocean liner, smooth and serene. Up close, though, on tiny scales, it's waves and bubbles. At extremely fine scales, pockets and bubbles of space-time can form at random, sputtering into being, then dissolving. ~ Gregory Benford
One Liner quotes by Gregory Benford
Less is more when you do a bright, bold lip. Just draw on black liner and some mascara and you're good to go! ~ Stacy Keibler
One Liner quotes by Stacy Keibler
Each team has a net liner, a goalie, and five attackers. We have two defenders on the ice and three forwards. Our forwards are left winger, centre man and a right winger. We work as units of five. In ice hockey you go out and you go as hard as you can for 35 to 45 seconds, then we change. ~ Gerad Adams
One Liner quotes by Gerad Adams
It's just a little guy-liner, ~ Sophie Oak
One Liner quotes by Sophie Oak
Jesus didn't save you so you could cruise to heaven in a luxury liner. He wants you to be useful in His kingdom! The moment you got saved, He enrolled you in His school the school of suffering and affliction. ~ David Wilkerson
One Liner quotes by David Wilkerson
That's what I used to enjoy so much: Bringing a record home, having it arrive in the mailbox. Having the whole experience of hearing it as you're holding it and looking at it and reading the liner notes, if they're anything. ~ John Darnielle
One Liner quotes by John Darnielle
If writers stopped writing about what happened to them, then there would be a lot of empty pages. ~ Elaine Liner
One Liner quotes by Elaine Liner
Unable to swim, he had maneuvered to fall off an old-timers' party yacht in the Hudson River. His departure was not remarked by the revelers. They motored on toward the Atlantic and he bobbed around in the wash. He couldn't swim. But he did. He learned how. Before he knew it, he was making time and nearing the dock where a small Italian liner sat dead still, white, three stories high. Nobody was around when he pulled up on a stray rope on the wharf and walked erect to the street, where cars were flashing. Day after tomorrow was his seventieth birthday. What a past, he said. I've survived. Further, I'm horny and vindictive. Does the fire never stop? ~ Barry Hannah
One Liner quotes by Barry Hannah
The Falcon of Central Park West
On the highest parapet of that castle like building
I reside at on Central Park West, a falcon nests.
I've reported this to the slavic doorman, the ASPCA,
and to the presiding coop board, to no avail.
This raptor launches from my parapet at blinding speed, sailing
over Central Park like a kite, picking up baby squirrels
and d-CON resistant rats to regurgitate to her fledglings.
A first I thought her a nuisance, a stowaway on a luxury liner.
But now I'm quite fond of my falcon, my avatar,
doing what she's 'gotta do' to survive in New York,
and keep her lofty crib in the castle
just like the rest of us. ~ Beryl Dov
One Liner quotes by Beryl Dov
Pirates?' Lara gasped. 'But we're not at sea. How can they be pirates?'
Weren't pirates supposed to wear eye-patches, feather earrings and lots of black eye-liner, and say 'arrrrr' a lot? Or was that just Johnny Depp? Lara was confused. ~ Lola Salt
One Liner quotes by Lola Salt
None of us can know today if tomorrow morning we will not be counted as part of a group considered outside the law. In that moment the civilized veneer of life changes, as the state props of well-being disappear and are transformed into omens of destruction. The luxury liner becomes a battleship, or the black jolly roger and the red executioner's flag are hoisted on it. ~ Ernst Junger
One Liner quotes by Ernst Junger
A big company is like trying to steer a luxury liner. ~ Chris Hardwick
One Liner quotes by Chris Hardwick
The stock market is like a small row boat on a rough sea, bouncing around as it drifts, whereas the macro economy is like a large ocean liner, very ponderous and difficult to maneuver but without such a rough journey. ~ Clive Granger
One Liner quotes by Clive Granger
In the Village

III

Who has removed the typewriter from my desk,
so that I am a musician without his piano
with emptiness ahead as clear and grotesque
as another spring? My veins bud, and I am so
full of poems, a wastebasket of black wire.
The notes outside are visible; sparrows will
line antennae like staves, the way springs were,
but the roofs are cold and the great grey river
where a liner glides, huge as a winter hill,
moves imperceptibly like the accumulating
years. I have no reason to forgive her
for what I brought on myself. I am past hating,
past the longing for Italy where blowing snow
absolves and whitens a kneeling mountain range
outside Milan. Through glass, I am waiting
for the sound of a bird to unhinge the beginning
of spring, but my hands, my work, feel strange
without the rusty music of my machine. No words
for the Arctic liner moving down the Hudson, for the mange
of old snow moulting from the roofs. No poems. No birds. ~ Derek Walcott
One Liner quotes by Derek Walcott
If you go to Japan, they're still buying vinyl, and they want the education. They know who's playing on what tracks from the '60s and the '70s - who the guitar player is, who the drummer is, who the producer was, what studio it was recorded in. That's how I grew up listening to music. We bought albums. We read the liner notes. It was important to know the whole history behind it. ~ Lenny Kravitz
One Liner quotes by Lenny Kravitz
I never was a liner note junkie. I didn't know who produced records or there was such a thing as a straight songwriter. I always assumed that everybody that was singing a song wrote it or made it up. ~ Chris Stapleton
One Liner quotes by Chris Stapleton
If anyone had bothered to notice me, they would only see a scared fifteen-year-old girl with eyes of sable ringed by kohl liner and black hair that fell to her waist. They wouldn't see someone struggling to remain sane. Only an empty space where a real girl used to live. ~ Sherry Soule
One Liner quotes by Sherry Soule
During a heavy storm at sea a nervous woman passenger on a large liner went to the captain, seeking reassurance. "Captain," she asked tremulously, "are we in great danger?" "Don't worry, madam," he answered, "after all, we in the hands of God." "Oh," she gasped, terror written on her face, "is it as bad as that?" ~ James Keller
One Liner quotes by James Keller
Torpedo! Starboard side!" The lookout grasped the cold metal handrail tightly, his knuckles white, staring helplessly as a 20-foot torpedo, travelling at 60 feet per second, disappeared from his view to ram 400 pounds of high-explosive TNT-Hexanite into the majestic ocean passenger liner. ~ R.J. MacDonald
One Liner quotes by R.J.  MacDonald
Someone once bought me loads of clothes from a charity shop - and sent them to me in a black bin liner. That was weird. I went through it and it was full of bizarre outfits like Abba costumes. ~ Suzanne Shaw
One Liner quotes by Suzanne Shaw
I had let it all grow. I had supposed
It was all OK. Your life
Was a liner I voyaged in.
Costly education had fitted you out.
Financiers and committees and consultants
Effaced themselves in the gleam of your finish.
You trembled with the new life of those engines.

That first morning,
Before your first class at College, you sat there
Sipping coffee. Now I know, as I did not,
What eyes waited at the back of the class
To check your first professional performance
Against their expectations. What assessors
Waited to see you justify the cost
And redeem their gamble. What a furnace
Of eyes waited to prove your metal. I watched
The strange dummy stiffness, the misery,
Of your blue flannel suit, its straitjacket, ugly
Half-approximation to your idea
Of the properties you hoped to ease into,
And your horror in it. And the tanned
Almost green undertinge of your face
Shrunk to its wick, your scar lumpish, your plaited
Head pathetically tiny.

You waited,
Knowing yourself helpless in the tweezers
Of the life that judges you, and I saw
The flayed nerve, the unhealable face-wound
Which was all you had for courage.
I saw that what you gripped, as you sipped,
Were terrors that killed you once already.
Now I see, I saw, sitting, the lonely
Girl who was going to die.

That blue suit.
A mad, execution uniform,Ted Hughes
One Liner quotes by Ted Hughes
The voices may propel you to warble along, or to dance, they may inspire you to seduction or insurrection or inspection or merely to watching a little less television. The voices of Barrett Rude Jr. and the Subtle Distinctions lead nowhere, though, if not back to your own neighborhood. To the street where you live. To things you left behind.
And that's what you need, what you needed al along. ~ Jonathan Lethem
One Liner quotes by Jonathan Lethem
Fuel your body.

Think about your environment as an ecosystem. If there's pollution, you'll feel the toxic side effects; if you're in the fresh air of the mountains, you'll feel alive. You'd be surprised at how many of the foods that we eat actually sap our body of fuel. Just look at three quick examples: soda, potato chips, and hamburgers. I'm not a hard-liner who says that you should never consume these things, but this kind of steady diet will make it harder for your body to help you. Instead, look at the foods that are going to give you energy. Choose food that's water soluble and easier for your body to break down, which gives you maximum nutrition with minimal effort. Look at a cucumber: it's practically water and it takes no energy to consume, but it's packed with nutrients. Green for me is the key.
We overeat and undernourish ourselves way too much. When you eat bad food, your body will feel bad and then you will feel bad. It's all connected. I drink green juice every day and eat huge salads. I am also a big believer in lean protein to feed and fuel the muscles--I might even have a chicken breast for breakfast.
Growing up, because I danced every single day, I would basically eat anything I wanted and I wouldn't gain any weight. I would eat anything and everything trying to put on a few pounds, but it never worked--and my skin was terrible as a result of it. We'd blame it on the sweat from the dancing, but I never connected it to what I ate. As I go ~ Derek Hough
One Liner quotes by Derek Hough
Blue liner at the lash line is a great way to brighten the eyes. I also love using a flesh-toned eye pencil on the water line to neutralize any redness. Tipping the lashes with navy mascara is another great way to make the whites appear whiter. ~ Tim Quinn
One Liner quotes by Tim Quinn
If Shakespeare were alive today and writing comedy for the movies, he would be the head-liner for the Mack Sennett studios. ~ Robert Benchley
One Liner quotes by Robert Benchley
Once the tugboat takes you out to the ocean liner, you got to get all the way on board. Can't straddle both decks. ~ Katherine Patterson
One Liner quotes by Katherine Patterson
By the time we stopped for the night, Billy Milsap was as big as an ocean liner. ~ Adam Rex
One Liner quotes by Adam Rex
I've nothing against eye make-up and lipstick. But the fact is that we're actually living on a planet in space. For me that's an extraordinary thought. It's mind-boggling just to think about the existence of space at all. But there are girls who can't see the universe for eye liner. ~ Jostein Gaarder
One Liner quotes by Jostein Gaarder
Life's a jumble of farce and melodrama, the chaotic scribbling of a third-rate penny-a-liner. We mock it to keep from going mad--or at least to display our good taste. ~ Gary Inbinder
One Liner quotes by Gary Inbinder
