To Judeans the cross was perhaps the most hated symbol of Roman rule. The deadly silhouette had scarred too many hilltops, signifying the most ignoble of deaths, a lingering torment that carried shame for all who witnessed it. And yet here it was, portraying a hope that transcended their worries and fears. Merely looking at this bit of carved wood lifted Linux beyond himself, carried upon a promise as strong as it was eternal. ~ Davis Bunn
Portraying quotes by Davis Bunn
If we made an income pyramid out of a child's blocks, with each layer portraying $1,000 of income, the peak would be far higher than the Eiffel Tower, but almost all of us would be within a yard of the ground. ~ Paul Samuelson
Portraying quotes by Paul Samuelson
What about animals slaughtered for our consumption? who among us would be able to continue eating pork chops after visiting a factory farm in which pigs are half-blind and cannot even properly walk, but are just fattened to be killed? And what about, say, torture and suffering of millions we know about, but choose to ignore? Imagine the effect of having to watch a snuff movie portraying what goes on thousands of times a day around the world: brutal acts of torture, the picking out of eyes, the crushing of testicles -the list cannot bear recounting. Would the watcher be able to continue going on as usual? Yes, but only if he or she were able somehow to forget -in an act which suspended symbolic efficiency -what had been witnessed. This forgetting entails a gesture of what is called fetishist disavowal: "I know it, but I don't want to know that I know, so I don't know." I know it, but I refuse to fully assume the consequences of this knowledge, so that I can continue acting as if I don't know it. ~ Slavoj Zizek
Portraying quotes by Slavoj Zizek
All I try to do is portray Indians as we are, in creative ways. With imagination and poetry. I think a lot of Native American literature is stuck in one idea: sort of spiritual, environmentalist Indians. And I want to portray everyday lives. I think by doing that, by portraying the ordinary lives of Indians, perhaps people learn something new. ~ Sherman Alexie
Portraying quotes by Sherman Alexie
Reporters insist on portraying me as a curiosity. Rather like a talking horse."
"You're an unusual woman."
"Not really. Many thousands of women have the minds and temperaments to practice medicine. However, no medical school here will admit a female, which is why I had to study and train in France. I was fortunate enough to become certified before the British Medical Association closed the loopholes to prevent other women from doing the same."
"What did your father say about it?"
"At fist he was against the idea. He thought it indecent for a woman to have such an occupation. Viewing unclothed people, and so forth. However, as I pointed out to him, if we're made in God's image, there can be nothing wrong with the study of the human body. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Portraying quotes by Lisa Kleypas
There's an inherent responsibility actors feel when portraying something that actually exists in the world. It's arguably something that not all actors would agree on because this is a craft, but for me, it's the emotion of what a character is going through that makes the performance what it is. We have a responsibility to bring those emotions to light. ~ Monica Potter
Portraying quotes by Monica Potter
The consensus seems to be this: we should be deeply Christian artists. But that doesn't mean we should be something called Christian artists or that whatever we produce should be called Christian art. We should simply focus on our craft, on making the best art we can. We should understand that people will and should resonate with our work not because it is Christian but because it is good. Above all, Christians should make good art, true art; art unafraid of exploring mystery, portraying evil, and looking for truth wherever it appears. ~ Brett McCracken
Portraying quotes by Brett McCracken
Evil's greatest triumph may be its success in portraying religion as an enemy of pleasure when, in fact, religion accounts for its source: every good and enjoyable thing is the invention of a Creator who lavished gifts on the world. ~ Philip Yancey
Portraying quotes by Philip Yancey
The papers are portraying Rafa as a parrot, just like they did when they showed Graham Taylor as an onion ~ Bobby Gould
Portraying quotes by Bobby Gould
The author relates that the word "OBSCENE" springs from the concept in Greek drama that certain actions would be performed outside the scene or off the stage. He clarifies that the Greeks did not shy away from shocking actions, but they knew that portraying them in the audience's view would drown out the emotional subtlety of the character development and ethical dilemmas. ~ Gene Edward Veith Jr.
Portraying quotes by Gene Edward Veith Jr.
When it came to portraying couples who never directly connected, the Newmans were the Olympic gold champions ~ Jeanine Basinger
Portraying quotes by Jeanine Basinger
There is, of course, a chicken-and-egg element here: does someone gravitate to the role of Eddie van Halen because he shares similar personality traits or did portraying Eddie Van Halen give rise to those qualities? ~ Steven Kurutz
Portraying quotes by Steven Kurutz
No ruler can ever get far with only militaristic power. The easiest way to conquer is to crush people's faith and convert them to your own ideology, often portraying it as heroic. I am an ambitious man – I am not just a casual pirate to steal only people's riches. I am an emperor – I shall steal people's hearts, hopes, and faith so that they will eventually have no one but me to turn to. If you put yourself in the role of a saviour, people are sure to follow you, just like a pack of lambs always follows a mighty shepherd. ~ Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Portraying quotes by Tamuna Tsertsvadze
At this point, realism is perhaps the least adequate means of understanding or portraying the incredible realities of our existence. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Portraying quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
The uniformed man led him along a short corridor and turned right at an electronic display proclaiming "The new collection from Kelloggs" and portraying several variations of luminous crotchless panties.

Grandfather frowned. "Can you eat those?" he asked the man, pointing at the display.

The man grinned. "If you buy them, Sir, I am sure that you can do anything you want with them. Eat the panties, devour the contents …. This way, Sir. ~ Tim Roux
Portraying quotes by Tim Roux
It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying. ~ Bruce Beresford
Portraying quotes by Bruce Beresford
For a while, I was nervous about portraying women because of the objectification that automatically comes with it, whether the artist intends or not. ~ Toyin Odutola
Portraying quotes by Toyin Odutola
As authors, most - most authors, our art is portraying the human condition. Trying to show you what it's like to be somebody else, trying to make you feel for somebody else. That means you have to have a high degree of empathy. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Portraying quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen. ~ Halle Berry
Portraying quotes by Halle Berry
I think I'm doing a service to black women by portraying myself as a sex machine. I mean, what's wrong with being a sex machine, darling? Sex is large, sex is life, sex is as large as life, so it appeals to anyone that's living, or rather it should. ~ Grace Jones
Portraying quotes by Grace Jones
I love portraying the totally indifferent person. ~ Bob Newhart
Portraying quotes by Bob Newhart
The older I've gotten, the more the need to exert comedy no matter how tragic a character I may be portraying because they are essentials for presenting truth. ~ Ed Asner
Portraying quotes by Ed Asner
When I'm playing a character, I am never allowed to explicitly state the the takeaway message of the scenes I'm performing - after all, part of the dramatic conflict is that the person I'm portraying doesn't really know it yet. ~ Lena Dunham
Portraying quotes by Lena Dunham
I'm not saying you need to become a spokesperson for every cause your character goes through, but it's important to absolutely do the best job we can in portraying a disease, and all the crap that goes with it. ~ Monica Potter
Portraying quotes by Monica Potter
The media are obsessed with spin doctors and with portraying them as a bad thing, yet seem addicted to our medicine. ~ Alastair Campbell
Portraying quotes by Alastair Campbell
Portraying Mozart is a scary task. Whenever I'm asked to portray actual historic figures, it comes with extra accountability. Not just to your director and playwright, but to the man himself and the beloved persona that the public forms. ~ Rob McClure
Portraying quotes by Rob McClure
A lot of people hate heroes. I was criticized for portraying people who are brave, honest, loving, intelligent. That was called weak and sentimental. People who dismiss all real emotion as sentimentality are cowards. They're afraid to commit themselves, and so they remain 'cool' for the rest of their lives, until they're dead - then they're really cool. ~ Mark Helprin
Portraying quotes by Mark Helprin
I've become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I'm able to, then perhaps I'll be closer to portraying a true expression of love. ~ Hayao Miyazaki
Portraying quotes by Hayao Miyazaki
It is important for me to truly understand the people I am portraying and their struggles, in order to give an honest performance. ~ Jake T. Austin
Portraying quotes by Jake T. Austin
You are always invested in a film, but there is always a different feeling you get when you are portraying a character that is based on real life and you are re-telling events that actually took place. ~ Martin Henderson
Portraying quotes by Martin Henderson
I have no way of portraying the lives of others. I portray my own. ~ Jan Saudek
Portraying quotes by Jan Saudek
If you write a lovely story about India, you're criticized for selling an exotic version of India. And if you write critically about India, you're seen as portraying it in a negative light - it also seems to be a popular way to present India, sort of mangoes and beggars. ~ Kiran Desai
Portraying quotes by Kiran Desai
I find the subject of childhood fascinating. I explored this subject in Speak to me of love and I am curious about portraying the often painful transition into the adult world. ~ Sophie Marceau
Portraying quotes by Sophie Marceau
In essence, individuals more concerned with portraying their own uniqueness were more likely to select an alcoholic beverage not yet ordered at their table in an effort to demonstrate that they were in fact one of a kind. What these results show is that people are sometimes willing to sacrifice the pleasure they get from a particular consumption experience in order to project a certain image to others. When people order food and drinks, they seem to have two goals: to order what they will enjoy most and to portray themselves in a positive light in the eyes of their friends. ~ Dan Ariely
Portraying quotes by Dan Ariely
I'd just like to see a role for women where someone who isn't traditionally attractive is not portraying the best friend. You know, the character that only speaks in questions. 'Gee, are you gonna go out with him? Do you think I look fat?' ~ Martha Plimpton
Portraying quotes by Martha Plimpton
Would movie moguls release a film portraying Adolph Hitler as a great benefactor of the Jews? Hardly. Would they release a movie if the black community found it to be highly disparaging? No way. You better believe these executives would also think long and hard before they released a movie offensive to American Indians, Muslims homosexuals or virtually any affinity group. Yet, to most movie industries a film which offends millions of Christians is fine and dandy. ~ Donald Wildmon
Portraying quotes by Donald Wildmon
The greatest threat to peace is the barrage of rightist propaganda portraying war as decent, honorable, and patriotic. ~ Jeannette Rankin
Portraying quotes by Jeannette Rankin
A man obsessed with failure has succeeded better than others in portraying it. ~ Erland Josephson
Portraying quotes by Erland Josephson
Might not certain vices have the same relation to character that the rigidity of a fixed idea as to intellect? Whether as a moral kink or a crooked twist given to the will, vice has often the appearance of a curvature for the soul. Doubtless there are vices into which the soul plunges deeply with all its pregnant potency, which it rejuvenates and drags along with it into a moving circle of reincarnations. Those are tragic vices. But the vice capable of making us comic is, on the contrary, that which is brought from without, like a ready-made frame into which we are to step. It lends us its own rigidity instead of borrowing from us our flexibility. We do not render it more complicated; on the contrary, it simplifies us. Here, as we shall see later in the concluding section of this study, lies the essential difference between comedy and drama. A drama, even when portraying passions or vices that bear a name, so completely incorporates them that the person is forgotten, their general characteristics effaced, and we no longer think of them at all, but rather of the person in whom they are assimilated; hence, the title of a drama can seldom be anything else than a proper noun. On the other hand, many comedies have a common noun as their title: L'Avare, Le Joueur etc. ~ Henri Bergson
Portraying quotes by Henri Bergson
For many years, it was believed that the pyramids were created on the sweat, blood and tears of slaves (with Hollywood often portraying this notion in films) but instead, we now know that they were built by a specialized team of around 5000 permanent employees and aided by up to 20,000 men on a temporary basis. These temporary employees would provide labor and other skills for around four months before being sent home. The ~ Roman Collins
Portraying quotes by Roman Collins
They are two very different people. It's almost a modern-day 'Odd Couple,' if I had to characterize it, with the two of them portraying pretty close to who they are, which is why it's a hybrid of a reality and a comedy show. ~ Dawn Ostroff
Portraying quotes by Dawn Ostroff
But are women in power actually uncommon? I think not. The fact is we are everywhere and in every walk of life: there are thousands of us in law, medicine, business, education, the police, media, even in government. But it's as if that fact has not penetrated into everyday consciousness: women in power are not regarded as ordinary. They are thought of as remarkable and not portraying the usual state of things. Is that why women shy from claiming their position?
(Fifty Shades of Feminism) ~ Lennie Goodings
Portraying quotes by Lennie Goodings
I think sometimes by portraying our lives as being too perfect, as being too balanced, we're actually selling younger women a bill of goods that's not true. ~ Debora Spar
Portraying quotes by Debora Spar
I had called her up a couple of weeks before then, because I had heard this vicious rumour that she did not like the movie. It was very upsetting for me. I am very sensitive to that, because I am portraying her life and did not want her to be unhappy. ~ Charlize Theron
Portraying quotes by Charlize Theron
I started out as a very young girl in Hollywood doing westerns portraying a mother with a couple of kids. ~ Dorothy Malone
Portraying quotes by Dorothy Malone
The Hawk hired fifty harpers and jesters and taught them new songs. Songs about the puny fairy fool who had been chased away from Dalkeith-Upon-the-Sea by the legendary
Hawk. And being such a legend in his own time, his tales were ceded great truth and staying power. The players
were delighted with the epic grandeur of such a wild tale. When they had rehearsed to perfection the ditties and
refrains portraying the defeat of the fool, the Hawk sent them into the counties of Scotland and England. Grimm
accompanied the group of players traveling to Edinburgh to help spread the tale himself, while Hawk spent late hours by the candle scribbling, crossing out and perfecting his command for when the fool came. Sometimes, in the wee hours of the morning, he would reach for his set of sharp awls and blades and begin carving toy soldiers and dolls, one by one. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Portraying quotes by Karen Marie Moning
I'm very particular who I work with. I'm not interested in portraying women with a cliched, generic look. I'm interested in a model who I can take a portrait of. ~ Tim Walker
Portraying quotes by Tim Walker
I think for a long time it seemed like working in an art form and being a feminist meant portraying women in a perfect, angelic light. And there's nothing feminist about that. ~ Rebecca Hall
Portraying quotes by Rebecca Hall
I've always been accused by my detractors of some sort of moral failure, cowardice, or even lack of humanity by not portraying the human form. I respond that I do better by portraying traces of character and intentions of human volition that no mug or body shot can ever exude. ~ Robert Polidori
Portraying quotes by Robert Polidori
You often see in Washington those who disagree you described as stupid or evil. It's one of the most unfortunate trends of modern political discourse. Portraying opponents as too dumb to know the truth but smart enough and wanting people to suffer. ~ Ted Cruz
Portraying quotes by Ted Cruz
I care about people. In the end, I think they feel it. It comes across, regardless of the character I'm portraying. ~ Forest Whitaker
Portraying quotes by Forest Whitaker
The big thing (that really good fiction) can do is leaping over that wall of self and portraying inner experience and setting up a kind of intimate conversation between two consciousnesses ... the trick is going to be trying to find a way to do it
and for a generation
whose relation to the long sustained, linear verbal communication is fundamentally different. ~ David Foster Wallace
Portraying quotes by David Foster Wallace
Within the microcosm of a film you get drawn to people. There are certain projects you care enormously about, and 'The Edge Of Love' was one because I was portraying a great hero of mine, Dylan Thomas. ~ Matthew Rhys
Portraying quotes by Matthew Rhys
There are always those who wish to sanitize war by portraying its grand and noble deeds-which sometimes occur-while drawing a veil over its shameless side. By its nature, war is harsh, brutal, and pitiless, and while it can call out the best in humankind, it can also awaken the darkest side of human nature, arousing in many participants a coldhearted callousness. For most, danger begets fear. For some, fear sires ferocity, and ferocity spawns a ruthlessness that subsumes compassion. For still other men, more than is gratifying to acknowledge, soldiering is a license to unleash iniquitous qualities that they struggled to suppress in peacetime. ~ John Ferling
Portraying quotes by John Ferling
In addition to giving comfort and joy, art also has the miraculous ability to let us live in other men's skins, to test our perceptions and beliefs against theirs, and perhaps to be changed as a result. It does this by portraying the world creatively, heightening our perception and enriching our understanding of things as they are. ~ Terry Teachout
Portraying quotes by Terry Teachout
Musically, though, you're a character and you're singing a song. If you're not your own character, you're the character in the song, most of the time. Even blues musicians, a lot of them who were the most realistic, at times, they were singing a song and portraying a character in the song. There's something to be said for getting involved in the emotion of a song, too, with the characters. ~ Jack White
Portraying quotes by Jack White
When you're portraying someone that really existed, there has to be a time as an actress where you leave reality and move into the fantasy world so you can do your job of creating a character. ~ Bel Powley
Portraying quotes by Bel Powley
You who come after me, scribbling these Annals, by now realize that I shy off portraying the whole truth about our band of blackguards. You know they are vicious, violent, and ignorant. They are complete barbarians, living out their cruelest fantasies, their behavior tempered only by the presence of a few decent men. I do not often show that side because these men are my brethren, my family, and I was taught young not to speak ill of kin. The old lessons die hardest. ~ Glen Cook
Portraying quotes by Glen Cook
I feel respect is in your hands as an actor when portraying a character, particularly when it's from the Indian subcontinent. I do make a conscious effort to do so and often talk to the directors especially about the heavy accent when it's not needed. ~ Ajay Mehta
Portraying quotes by Ajay Mehta
Our film industry, must cease portraying us as a nation of decayed values, fallen moralities and juju-obsessed people. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Portraying quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Portraying Alex Summers, I want to look as athletic as his character is in the comics. ~ Lucas Till
Portraying quotes by Lucas Till
Making 'Birdsong,' on the one hand you have how prestigious it is and the reputation of the book, which is something that's an extraordinary piece of work. Sebastian Faulkes is a genius. So you feel that responsibility when you're portraying that character that he's imagined and millions of readers have pictured. ~ Eddie Redmayne
Portraying quotes by Eddie Redmayne
When you are portraying somebody that has a very specific emotional weight, you feel like you're really starting to abandon your own body and go to someplace else. ~ Javier Bardem
Portraying quotes by Javier Bardem
I think portraying human beings trying to hold on to their humanity against pretty much certain odds that they'll die horribly in some way someday, and that they'll face horrible things along the way, I don't know - I think that's a beautiful thing. It's a wonderful thing. ~ Scott M. Gimple
Portraying quotes by Scott M. Gimple
The deeply irrational attitude of each sex toward women may be seen in novels, particularly in bad novels. In bad novels by men, there is the woman with whom the author is in love, who usually possesses every charm, but is somewhat helpless, and requires male protection; sometimes, however, like Shakespeare's Cleopatra, she is an object of exasperated hatred, and is thought to be deeply and desperately wicked. In portraying the heroine, the male author does not write from observation, but merely objectifies his own emotions. In regard to his other female characters, he is more objective, and may even depend upon his notebook; but when he is in love, his passion makes a mist between him and the object of his devotion. Women novelists, also, have two kinds of women in their books. One is themselves, glamorous and kind, and object of lust to the wicked and of love to the good, sensitive, highsouled, and constantly misjudged. The other kind is represented by all other women, and is usually portrayed as petty, spiteful, cruel, and deceitful. It would seem that to judge women without bias is not easy either for men or for women. ~ Bertrand Russell
Portraying quotes by Bertrand Russell
There is a point in portraying surface vulgarity where tragedy and comedy are very close. ~ Barbara Stanwyck
Portraying quotes by Barbara Stanwyck
I was able to be distant by portraying another person, another character, if you will, and I found myself not stuttering and not having anxiety attacks when I was portraying another soul, another being, and I found comfort in that. I think many actors do, playing someone other than themselves. ~ Pam Grier
Portraying quotes by Pam Grier
For film and games, there is now a fantastic method of actors portraying characters which don't necessarily look like themselves. And yet you've still got the heart and soul of the performance. ~ Andy Serkis
Portraying quotes by Andy Serkis
Acting makes me feel vulnerable. Especially depending on the type of emotion I'm portraying in a scene. ~ Mpho Koaho
Portraying quotes by Mpho Koaho
Even the Impressionists, the most innovative artists of their time, sought to paint realistically. They believed that their freer way of portraying the visible world was truer to life than the literal realism of the 'salon painters' who dominated French art throughout the 19th century. ~ Terry Teachout
Portraying quotes by Terry Teachout
Contrary to the popular misconception, the actor is not necessarily a specialist in imitating or portraying what he knows about other people. On the contrary, the actor may simply be a person who's more willing than others to reveal some truths about himself. ~ Wallace Shawn
Portraying quotes by Wallace Shawn
My personal interest in ordinary people is unlimited, but I am fascinated by the challenge of portraying true greatness adequately with my camera. ~ Yousuf Karsh
Portraying quotes by Yousuf Karsh
A man sets himself the task of portraying the world. Shortly before he dies he discovers that this patient labyrinth of lines is a drawing of his own face. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Portraying quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
I think you have to be very secure as an actor to escape yourself - to revisit someone's past, whether you're portraying another person or creating someone, and then to come back to who you are and not bring those emotions with you. ~ Alex Pettyfer
Portraying quotes by Alex Pettyfer
Yeah, there's stuff that really good fiction can do that other forms of art can't do as well. And the big thing, the big thing seems to be, sort of leapin' over that wall of self, and portraying inner experience. And setting up, I think, a kind of intimate conversation between two consciences. ~ David Lipsky
Portraying quotes by David Lipsky
What I love to do requires portraying different characters, and you have to separate your life from the role. ~ Natasha Calis
Portraying quotes by Natasha Calis
If I look at the message I'm portraying, I think it definitely is be who you are, but be your best you. ~ Kim Kardashian
Portraying quotes by Kim Kardashian
Beautiful women seldom want to act. They are afraid of emotion and they do not try to extract anything from a character that they are portraying, because in expressing emotion they may encourage crow's feet and laughing wrinkles. They avoid anything that will disturb their placidity of countenance, for placidity of countenance insures a smooth skin. ~ Laurette Taylor
Portraying quotes by Laurette Taylor
Tennessee Williams was so adept at portraying characters who are both fallible and vulnerable. Women were a huge influence in his life, his mother and sister in particular. ~ Kim Cattrall
Portraying quotes by Kim Cattrall
What I see now is that even with the Islamists, who have been portraying themselves as the alternative to corruption and dictatorship and in defence of more transparency, there is one respect in which they have now changed completely. Since the beginning of the 1920's, Islamism was very close in positioning in some respects to 'liberation theology'. But that is no longer the case. ~ Tariq Ramadan
Portraying quotes by Tariq Ramadan
I have followed the procedure of the ancient painter
Zeuxis, who worked in a material temple as I propose to work in a
spiritual one. As Cicero tells the story, the people of Croton asked
Zeuxis to decorate a temple they held in high esteem with the finest
paintings he could devise.

He approached the task with care,
selecting five of the town's most beautiful women to sit beside him
as he worked and model their beauty for his painting. There were
several good reasons for this. Zeuxis, we know, was a master in portraying
women's beauty, which by nature is more elegant and delicate
than men's. But as Cicero makes it a point to explain, he chose
several
women because he did not think he could find
one
who was
uniformly lovely in all her parts. Nature, he thought, had never conferred
such beauty on a single woman that all her parts should have
an equal share: nothing composed by nature is complete in all
respects, as if, in bestowing all her bounties in one place, nature
would have none left to bestow elsewhere.
Similarly, in my depiction of the beauty of the soul ~ Pierre Abelard
Portraying quotes by Pierre Abelard
I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I wouldn't do them. And I don't want to screw them by not portraying them honestly. ~ Kyra Sedgwick
Portraying quotes by Kyra Sedgwick
How do I act so well? What I do is I pretend to be the person I'm portraying in the film or play. ~ Ian McKellen
Portraying quotes by Ian McKellen
All my photographs seep through EMOTION , through the relationship I establish with the place I am portraying. Whenever I see something that captivates me, I start turning around it to find MY OWN frame. I work on myself and on the city at the same time. ~ Augusto De Luca
Portraying quotes by Augusto De Luca
I've also worked hard portraying an Ireland which is fast disappearing. Ireland was a very depressed and difficult place in the 1980s, and I've tried to include that in the script. I worked really hard to find the heart of the book. ~ Neil Jordan
Portraying quotes by Neil Jordan
Books that teach us to dance: There are writers who, by portraying the impossible as possible, and by speaking of morality and genius as if both were high-spirited freedom, as if man were rising up on tiptoe and simply had to dance out of inner pleasure. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Portraying quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
A June 2015 poll of Muslims living in the United States by the Center for Security Policy showed that a shocking number (51 percent) seek to embrace sharia over the U.S. Constitution. In addition, nearly one in four of Muslims polled believed that "it is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed." One in five respondents agreed that "the use of violence is justified in order to make shariah the law of the land in this country" while only 39 percent believed that Muslims in the U.S. should be subjected to American courts. If, as the Pew Research Center estimates, there are approximately 3 million Muslims in America, that translates to roughly half a million U.S. Muslims who believe acts of terror and murder are legitimate tools in order to replace the U.S. Constitution with sharia law. ~ Glenn Beck
Portraying quotes by Glenn Beck
As an actor, I'm limited to re-in acting someone else's vision or portraying a fictitious character. ~ Denzel Whitaker
Portraying quotes by Denzel Whitaker
...wearing a turban of yellow, signifying knowledge, and a robe of purple, portraying purity and activity, Virchand Gandhi of Bombay delivered a lecture on the religions of India.... ~ The New York Times
Portraying quotes by The New York Times
The deaf culture is portrayed very accurately on 'Switched at Birth' because the writers did the opposite of the norm. They did their homework before portraying anything on television. ~ Sean Berdy
Portraying quotes by Sean Berdy
I'd my own insecurities while portraying the role of James Bond. ~ Pierce Brosnan
Portraying quotes by Pierce Brosnan
I'm not a booky actor, I don't go away and do loads of reading up on a part, generally. I'm more interested in what the people we're portraying do physically, and looking at their sentence construction. ~ Andrew Buchan
Portraying quotes by Andrew Buchan
Among so many things, 'Time Passes' has shown me subversive ways of portraying time, of looking away from the human to the far more terrifying, far more immense texture of time beneath the minute span of a human life. ~ Lauren Groff
Portraying quotes by Lauren Groff
Portraying as human the people you hear about on the news doing bad things is dangerous. But it's also necessary and important. ~ Domhnall Gleeson
Portraying quotes by Domhnall Gleeson
Hillary's [Clinton] been doing a good job of portraying [Donald] Trump as unqualified, not the right temperament. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Portraying quotes by Rush Limbaugh
The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it - I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics is hopeless. ~ Hayao Miyazaki
Portraying quotes by Hayao Miyazaki
Basil Fawlty was an easy character for me. For some reason, portraying a mean uptight incompetent bully comes naturally to me. ~ John Cleese
Portraying quotes by John Cleese
There would be a spike in the number of girls who went out for a walk in the woods and were never heard from again. There always were when stories came out portraying the terra indigene as furry humans who just wanted to be loved.
Most of the terra indigene didn't want to love humans; they wanted to eat them. Why did humans have such a hard time understanding that? ~ Anne Bishop
Portraying quotes by Anne Bishop
I don't want to be 45 competing with 20-year-olds, running to go get Botox. I want to be an expressive actor hired for the age that I am, portraying women who are my age: 40. I'm just hoping I can find some of those roles to play. Otherwise, I have to find something else. ~ Debi Mazar
Portraying quotes by Debi Mazar
On the surface, we come to understand that who we are is something separate from all other objects in the world. This is the first and primary of illusions we are taught to believe after having been welcomed to the human world. I do not use the word "illusion" in a negative sense, but in a necessary one. Just as the enjoyment of a film or theatrical play may depend upon the ability of the actors to woo the audience into believing the world they are portraying; the enjoyment of life may also be found in our own ability to wield the power of illusion. ~ Saunsea
