The visuals and the audio, could stand by themselves in a way. But the whole idea of the thing, is that they would exist together. So I think together, they're way more of a stronger thing. You could listen to just the music, or just watch the video, but I think it would really mean ... obviously it would just be half the experience. ~ Panda Bear
Really Mean quotes by Panda Bear
The joy of 'Crash' was that it was all about the work. It was my first real part. Before that, it was a line here and there, maybe a scene. 'Crash' was five scenes, a beautiful arc, a little vignette of my own. It really meant something. ~ Michael Pena
Really Mean quotes by Michael Pena
You don't really mean that about having everyone leave you alone," she said sweetly. "You seem like such a friendly and outgoing guy. I'll make sure to mention how great you are to everyone over the next couple of days. Before you know it, the whole street will be knocking on your door and introducing themselves. It won't be a month before you're hosting the neighborhood barbecue. You'll also be picking up prescriptions, mowing lawns and eating macaroni salad with every meal so you won't hurt their feelings." She batted her eyelashes at him as he seemed to pale before her eyes. "Welcome to the neighborhood. ~ Liliana Hart
Really Mean quotes by Liliana Hart
I don't know what the inspiration for most of songs really mean until I finish them. For the most part, I'm going for a visceral impression, and I write the words last. ~ Todd Rundgren
Really Mean quotes by Todd Rundgren
That dance is your prayer. So don't rush it, and don't dance how you practice. there's only one way for an Indian man to express himself. It's that dance that comes from all the way back there. All the way over there. You learn that dance to keep it, to use it. Whatever you got going on in your life, you don't leave it all in here, like them players do when they go out on that field, you bring it with you, you dance it. Any other way you try to say what you really mean, it's just gonna make you cry. Don't act like you don't cry. That what we do. Indian men. We're crybabies. You know it. But not out there. ~ Tommy Orange
Really Mean quotes by Tommy Orange
Ten days later I was amazed to receive a letter from Diana written just days after she'd arrived home--in fact, before I'd written her a thank-you letter. I was mortified by my delay in writing to her. I had managed to fire off proper thank-you notes to Ambassador Wight and Ms. Gillett, but I had so much more to say to Diana.
Her letter was the most heartwarming one I have ever received--even more so, now that I know what personal strain she was under then. After thanking us "a million times" for coming to see them in Washington, she wrote, "From the beginning to the end I had a lump in my throat looking at what a special little man Patrick had grown up to be--Goodness, you must be extremely proud of him and if either of my boys turn out like Patrick I will have no worries and I really mean every word." I had a lump in my throat as I read this. I was very proud of Patrick and deeply touched by Diana's praise.
Diana added that, for her, the high point of the visit to Washington was seeing Patrick and me. She explained, "Being able to get in touch with a v. happy and memorable part of my past meant a tremendous amount to me and kept me going for days!" Seeing the world-famous Diana in such a warm and personal way after five years and realizing how much she still cherished our friendship kept me going for months, even years! ~ Mary Robertson
Really Mean quotes by Mary Robertson
You can't really mean to punish the entire male gender for the errors of a few ~ Alyssa Rose Ivy
Really Mean quotes by Alyssa Rose Ivy
I've always been a character actor, although I'm not quite sure what that means. All my scripts are absolutely covered in notes, so any time I say anything - even 'pass the salt' - I have six subtexts, comments on what I really mean when I'm saying that. Maybe that's what gives the impression that I'm saying one thing and thinking something else. ~ Christopher Walken
Really Mean quotes by Christopher Walken
My first inkling of what the Commonwealth might really mean came only when I escaped the oddly British-tinged Asia I had known and went to live in the Philippines. ~ Romesh Gunesekera
Really Mean quotes by Romesh Gunesekera
It can't be any new note. When you look at the keyboard, all the notes are there already. But if you mean a note enough, it will sound different. You got to pick the notes you really mean! ~ Thelonious Monk
Really Mean quotes by Thelonious Monk
Catholicism is a really mean religion, and it's incredibly hypocritical. But it plays a role in my life 'cause you can't really get a lot of things out of your head, such as what Jesus Christ looks like and that divorce is a horrible thing. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Really Mean quotes by Madonna Ciccone
But what really is immorality? And what does helping someone really mean? Helping them to be like everyone else, or helping them to be themselves? ~ Nancy Garden
Really Mean quotes by Nancy Garden
Would you really have ... ?" said Julien.
"Almost certainly," I said. "I have deep-seated problems with authority figures."
"But you are one!"
"I know! I can only assume the universe has a really mean sense of humour. ~ Simon R. Green
Really Mean quotes by Simon R. Green
Human beings only learn by observing and copying. What does this really mean? It means that your friends will only tell you that your ideas are great once you succeed and never before that. Expecting someone's approval is a waste of time. ~ Robin Sacredfire
Really Mean quotes by Robin Sacredfire
Early on, I was so impressed with Charles Dickens. I grew up in the South, in a little village in Arkansas, and the whites in my town were really mean, and rude. Dickens, I could tell, wouldn't be a man who would curse me out and talk to me rudely. ~ Maya Angelou
Really Mean quotes by Maya Angelou
It's time for us as a country to try to come together in ways that freedom was really meant to be. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Really Mean quotes by Oprah Winfrey
Is it always like this?" Tayla asked.
"My job?"
"Yes"
"This is my first week on the job," I said. "So, so far? Yes."
"How do you feel about that?"
"Like I wish I had decided to be the typical rich kid and been a sponge on my parents," I said.
"You don't really mean that," Tayla said.
"No," I said. "But at the moment I really want to feel like I did. ~ John Scalzi
Really Mean quotes by John Scalzi
If you're too overcome to even finish your sentence then you must be sincere, you must really mean what you're not saying, you must ... I'm sorry. I cannot type. My fingers are crying. ~ Mark Forsyth
Really Mean quotes by Mark Forsyth
Don't take me for a fool!" Dee interrupted angrily, but then had to lean over the boat as another bout of nausea gripped him.
Virginia grinned and winked at Josh. "It's hard to sound masterful when you're throwing up, isn't it?"
"I hate you, Virginia Dare," Dee mumbled.
"I know you don't really mean that," she said lightly.
"I do," he croaked. ~ Michael Scott
Really Mean quotes by Michael Scott
It is our honor, Amelia said, and it was the weirdest thing-it sounded like she really meant it. People don't often say exactly what they really mean. ~ Lili St. Crow
Really Mean quotes by Lili St. Crow
What I see is the millions of people, of whom I am just one, made orphans: no motherland, no fatherland, no gods, no mounds of earth for holy ground, no excess of love which might lead to the things that an excess of love sometimes brings, and worst and most painful of all, no tongue. (For isn't it odd that the only language I have in which to speak of this crime is the language of the criminal who committed the crime? And what can that really mean? For the language of the criminal can contain only the goodness of the criminal's deed. The language of the criminal can explain and express the deed only from the criminal's point of view. It cannot contain the horror of the deed, the injustice of the deed, the agony, the humiliation inflicted one me. ~ Jamaica Kincaid
Really Mean quotes by Jamaica Kincaid
Most actors, if you ask them if they play guitar, they'll say they played guitar for 20 years, but what they really mean is they've owned a guitar for 20 years. ~ Oscar Isaac
Really Mean quotes by Oscar Isaac
People aren't really mean to me, but people say random things. ~ Kiersey Clemons
Really Mean quotes by Kiersey Clemons
When you start a new job or a particular journey, you really don't know what to expect. I mean, you hear about your name being on the bestsellers list, but it doesn't really mean anything. Like, really, what does that translate to? ~ Eric Jerome Dickey
Really Mean quotes by Eric Jerome Dickey
The cloud is still really just a bunch of servers, owned by someone or something, whose decisions and competence must be trusted. This applies to everything from Google Docs to Gmail: Putting our data out there really means putting it 'out there.' ~ Douglas Rushkoff
Really Mean quotes by Douglas Rushkoff
We say that children are bad at paying attention, but we really mean that they're bad at not paying attention - they easily get distracted by anything interesting. ~ Alison Gopnik
Really Mean quotes by Alison Gopnik
If someone tells you, "You can't" they really mean, "I can't." ~ Sean Stephenson
Really Mean quotes by Sean Stephenson
Now, what did "feel" really mean to a computer? Another very good question, but hardly one to be considered at that particular moment. Then, ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Really Mean quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it ... The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all ... When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. ~ Mark Twain
Really Mean quotes by Mark Twain
Many things that don't really mean so much of anything, are wonderful. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Really Mean quotes by C. JoyBell C.
It's funny. We meet hundreds of people. We stop to remember them sometimes and they're so far away and we're not a part of them anymore. Makes you realise how important it is to be a part of someone. And stay that way with them. And we have visions of going out into the open world and treating it as our oyster... but it takes a small, mindful moment to make us realise that doesn't really mean anything when you don't have someone to call home. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Really Mean quotes by C. JoyBell C.
What does your product really mean to the people who buy it? ~ Ron Kaufman
Really Mean quotes by Ron Kaufman
Remember that the basic rule of vocabulary is to use the first word that comes to your mind, if it is appropriate and colourful. If you hesitate, and cogitate, you will come up with another word...but it probably won't be as good as your first one, or as close to what you really mean. ~ Stephen King
Really Mean quotes by Stephen King
Saying things we don't really mean becomes a habit when we practice it long enough. The real problem is that when you don't keep your word, you lose credibility. When you lose credibility, you break the bonds of trust. And breaking the bonds of trust ultimately leads to a string of broken relationships. To ~ Robin S. Sharma
Really Mean quotes by Robin S. Sharma
Mystical references to society and its programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats. ~ Thomas Sowell
Really Mean quotes by Thomas Sowell
We all have different languages; but we all really mean the same thing. ~ C.S. Lewis
Really Mean quotes by C.S. Lewis
Your personal freedom to experience yourself and life as you wish is not being limited. Step into your choices and stop telling yourself that you can't, when what you really mean is that you don't want other people to feel the way you think that are going to feel when they see you making the choices you really want to make. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Really Mean quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
The upside to grief is it takes away your appetite. When people say you look good they really mean it. Nature's thoughtful that way. ~ Barbara Park
Really Mean quotes by Barbara Park
And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn't really mean it. But that isn't true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there's no other way of saving yourself and you're quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You don't give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself. ~ George Orwell
Really Mean quotes by George Orwell
Whenever anyone says, 'theoretically,' they really mean, 'not really.' ~ Dave Parnas
Really Mean quotes by Dave Parnas
Yes, I think I use the term radical rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as atheist some people will say, Don't you mean agnostic? I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It's easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal and that it's an opinion I hold seriously. ~ Douglas Adams
Really Mean quotes by Douglas Adams
The fact that something is written down is persuasive to people not used to asking questions like: 'Who wrote it, and when?' 'How did they know what to write?' 'Did they, in their time, really mean what we, in our time, understand them to be saying?' 'Were they unbiased observers, or did they have an agenda that coloured their writing? ~ Richard Dawkins
Really Mean quotes by Richard Dawkins
My ideal meal would probably be the cheesiest pasta or pizza, followed by something creamy and chocolaty. I mean, just the worst things, really. ~ Ricky Gervais
Really Mean quotes by Ricky Gervais
Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.
It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.
Because if you cannot or will not exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. ~ David Foster Wallace
Really Mean quotes by David Foster Wallace
NOBODY knows better than you what's right for you. NOBODY. Let me say what I really mean: NOBODY. Advice? Get some. Oracles? Consult them. Friends? Worship them. Actual gurus? Honour them. Final say? YOU. All you. No matter what. No matter how psychic that psychic is, or how rich the business consultant is, or how magical the healer, or bendy the yoga instructor. All that experts offer you is data for you to take into consideration. YOU are the centrifugal force that must filter, interpret, and give meaning to that data. ~ Danielle LaPorte
Really Mean quotes by Danielle LaPorte
Basically no, I mean I think that it's very easy to like I say, smoke a joint or even to wear a Chairman Mao button, or do a lot of these things with out knowing what's behind it, and what it really means. ~ Lester Bangs
Really Mean quotes by Lester Bangs
You're guilty of making the same mistake most people make. You say 'I love you' but what you really mean is 'I want you.' You think it's the same thing, but it's not. You don't fall in love with someone just because they fuck you like there's no tomorrow." Alyssa purposely used his words, "I don't doubt that you wanted me, Sam. That you still do. Because on that really primitive, physical level, yeah, I still want you, too. But that's not love. That's about possessing, about being possessed. It's not real
it can't possibly last. Love is something you give. It's not about taking, or possessing. ~ Suzanne Brockmann
Really Mean quotes by Suzanne Brockmann
Tell her how much all the little things she does all year long that seem to go unnoticed really mean to you." With a $2.59 card. Mother's Day is built on that idea. ~ Shonda Rhimes
Really Mean quotes by Shonda Rhimes
He wished someone in the course of history had thought of striking that word and all its derivatives from the English Language - happy, happier, happiest, happiness. What the devil did the words really mean anyway? Why not just the word pleasure, which was far more ... well, pleasant. ~ Mary Balogh
Really Mean quotes by Mary Balogh
Why wouldn't I be able to look at you? You're not my woman and I don't even have feelings for you. You really mean nothing to me now. ~ Jung Woo
Really Mean quotes by Jung Woo
Almost every girl in the world says what they really want is a nice guy, but only handful really mean it. ~ Heather Havenwood
Really Mean quotes by Heather Havenwood
I don't like the new trends in horror. All this torture stuff seems really mean-spirited. People have forgotten how to laugh, and I don't see anybody who's using it as allegory. ~ George A. Romero
Really Mean quotes by George A. Romero
My father was a minister for 50 years (with) Pentecostal Church of God in Christ. We prayed about everything, every day, then he always said, "Amen. God is love." I thought God is love was one word. Like "Godislove." And it took me a long time to learn what that really meant. ~ Denzel Washington
Really Mean quotes by Denzel Washington
Most remarks that are worth making are commonplace remarks. The things that makes them worth saying is that we really mean them. ~ Robert Staughton Lynd
Really Mean quotes by Robert Staughton Lynd
When someone says "just saying" what they really mean is, "You would be a colossal idiot to not take my advice." (on Facebook) ~ Stephen Altrogge
Really Mean quotes by Stephen Altrogge
Aimless extension of knowledge, however, which is what I think you really mean by the term curiosity, is merely inefficiency. I am designed to avoid inefficiency. ~ Isaac Asimov
Really Mean quotes by Isaac Asimov
I don't expect you to know what the future is going to bring," I told him. "And I'm not asking for a commitment right now. But I do want to know if it's possible for us to be something long term. If it's not a possibility, I'm not interested in doing this."
Chris didn't answer right away, but when he did, his answer was perfect.
"I love you," he said. "And I don't want to spend a day of my life without you."
Whoa!
Whoa?
Instead of feeling happy and confident, I suddenly felt something like fear.
In my mind, what he was saying was that he wanted to marry me.
Was I ready for that?
No.
But I loved that I heard that he wanted to marry me and was so confident and open about it.
I quickly warmed up to the idea. But as the days and then weeks went by, I began to wonder. Did his answer really mean he wanted to get married? We didn't talk about it, and our relationship didn't change in any meaningful way.
So, were we headed toward marriage, or not?
Then came 9/11. The tragic attack, and the implications that going to war would have for Chris, pushed me to think harder about my future-our future.
One day I called him and said, "I just had this crazy idea-let's get married."
I thought he'd say, Hell yeah! Let's do it!
His actual reaction: "What?"
As in, What the heck are you talking about?
What!?!
"Oh, it's just an idea," I said, quickly retreating. "I'm kind of kidding. We can talk about it later ~ Taya Kyle
Really Mean quotes by Taya Kyle
Most Americans would say that they disapproved of violence. But what they really mean is that they believe it should be the monopoly of the state. ~ Edgar Friedenberg
Really Mean quotes by Edgar Friedenberg
Unless the story line carries the scenes, the scenes don't really mean anything. ~ George Cukor
Really Mean quotes by George Cukor
Executives will talk about the importance of passion, but what they really mean is finding somebody who will work nights and weekends on their assigned task but predictably and reliably follow orders and just work harder. ~ John Hagel III
Really Mean quotes by John Hagel III
Presents don't really mean much to me. I don't want to sound mawkish, but - it was the realization that I have a great many people in my life who really love me, and who I really love. ~ Gabriel Byrne
Really Mean quotes by Gabriel Byrne
Women are odd. I really mean that. A woman doesn't know the effect she has on a man. Any woman affects every man with instant global tonnage every single time. But women all go about teaching each other it isn't true. God knows why. They reach for doubt, where we blokes go for hope. This accounts for much of their behavior. ~ Jonathan Gash
Really Mean quotes by Jonathan Gash
Do you believe in God, doctor?
No - but what does that really mean? I'm fumbling in the dark, struggling to make something out. But I've long ceased finding that original. ~ Albert Camus
Really Mean quotes by Albert Camus
When you grasp excessively for anything in this world - and for you that happens to be food - you deny what is trying to emerge from deep within you. Failing to experience what is supposed to happen - your own internal communion with self - you are thrown into an awful, primordial void, bereft by what feels like the absence of your Creator. You don't really mean to be grasping for food. You mean to be grasping for God. And there is only one way to do that. You cannot find Him except where He lives. And He lives in you. ~ Marianne Williamson
Really Mean quotes by Marianne Williamson
You know that excuse... it's not you it's me? I say that a lot, when I break up with someone, but I don't really mean it when I do. I'm not the reason my relationships end but neither are the women. It's not me and it's not them--it's that we never had a we. There was no us. It's hard to say what makes two people have that, because it's something you can't put into words. It's a feeling, I know it's only a movie, but I want the feeling that Lloyd had. He didn't just want Diane, he needed her, so he did everything in his power to get her back. ~ Karyn Bosnak
Really Mean quotes by Karyn Bosnak
Record sales don't really mean anything. For us, the pressure is imagining some 15-year-old kid in Cincinnati who buys our album and doesn't feel like he wasted his pocket money. ~ Chris Martin
Really Mean quotes by Chris Martin
It's my own fault, really. For believing in fairy tales. Not that I ever mistook them for actual historical fact, or anything. But I did grow up believing that for every girl, there's a prince out there somewhere. All she has to do is find him. Then it's on with the
happily ever after. So you can only imagine what happened when I found out. That my prince really IS one. A prince. No, I really mean it. He's an actual PRINCE. ~ Meg Cabot
Really Mean quotes by Meg Cabot
Go ahead. Ask me who the father is."
He only smiled. "Do I look that stupid to you?"
She pushed back her short hair with a sigh. "He doesn't know, and you're not to tell him. In English, Apache or Lakota," she emphasized, covering all her bases.
He nodded. "What are you going to do?"
"I haven't the slightest idea," she confessed. "I only used the home-pregnancy test this morning, but I was pretty sure before then. I've got to find a place to live where Leta won't see me for a while. I can't risk having her tell Tate." She glanced at him. "Where were you all this time?" she wanted to know.
"Sitting calmly in a wing chair sipping coffee and trying to look invisible." He lifted his eyebrows at her disbelieving expression. "Somebody had to keep his head."
"There's an old saying that, if you can keep your head when everyone around you is losing theirs, you don't have a clue what's going on," she misquoted.
"Could be. But I'm not sporting a bruised face, like some I could name." He leaned forward. "Want to marry me?"
"Thanks, Colby," she said softly. "I really mean it. But it wouldn't be fair to any of us. Especially you."
He folded his arms and leaned back. "The offer doesn't have a time limit. I really do love children. ~ Diana Palmer
Really Mean quotes by Diana Palmer
Sometimes you say things with a smile with the precise intention of making it clear that you are not being serious, and are only kidding. If I salute a friend with a smile and say, 'How are you, you old scoundrel!' clearly I don't really mean he's a scoundrel. ~ Umberto Eco
Really Mean quotes by Umberto Eco
Yeah, we used to talk like best friends
I remember that I guess I don't know what happened to us
Now you got me questionin' what trust is
You told me you would be there for me
Yeah, but you ain't really mean it did ya
Now you wanna jump ship
Leave me here alone
Well, I'm used to it
Everybody else did
Who you havin' fun with
Don't tell me I don't wanna know every time I ask I just feel sick
You're the one that jumped in
Told me you had some feelins
Now you tryin' to tell me that is not true
I ain't gotta clue
Who I'm lookin' at right now, but I know the person that I'm lookin' at is not you
Yeah
They say that you are who you hang with
Maybe that's the reason you been changin'
Maybe that's the reason why I'm feelin' like you're dangerous
And every time we talk it's like I'm talkin' to a stranger ~ Nathan Feuerstein (NF)
Really Mean quotes by Nathan Feuerstein (NF)
Advances don't fundamentally interest me. It sounds terribly naive, but money doesn't really mean anything to me. If a lot of money came my way, I'm certainly not going to say no. But it hasn't come my way as yet, and I'm not heartbroken. ~ Upamanyu Chatterjee
Really Mean quotes by Upamanyu Chatterjee
What does it really mean to be a leftist in the early part of the 21st century? What are we really talking about? And I can just be very candid with you. It means to have a certain kind of temperament, to make certain kinds of political and ethical choices, and to exercise certain analytical focuses in targeting on the catastrophic and the monstrous, the scandalous, the traumatic, that are often hidden and concealed in the deodorized and manicured discourses of the mainstream. That's what it means to be a leftist. So let's just be clear about it. ~ Cornel West
Really Mean quotes by Cornel West
Yes, it would really mean something to be kissed by Jenno. ~ Peter St. John
Really Mean quotes by Peter St. John
You're not really mean." Eve hooked her thumbs in her front pockets. "Am, too. Mean as spit, and don't you forget it. ~ J.D. Robb
Really Mean quotes by J.D. Robb
But then he told himself: What does it really mean to be useful? Today's world, just as it is, contains the sum of the utility of all people of all times. Which implies: The highest morality consists in being useless. ~ Milan Kundera
Really Mean quotes by Milan Kundera
You don't really mean that we got to be frightened all the time of nothing? Life," said Piggy expansively, "is scientific, that's what it is. In a year or two when the war's over they'll be traveling to Mars and back. I know there isn't no beast - not with claws and all that, I mean - but I know there isn't no fear, either. ~ William Golding
Really Mean quotes by William Golding
Oh, that you would come and begin simply to listen to His Word and to ask only the one question: Does He really mean that I should abide in Him? The answer His Word gives is so simple and so sure: By His almighty grace you now are in Him; that same almighty grace will indeed enable you to abide in Him. By faith you became partakers of the initial grace; by that same faith you can enjoy the continuous grace of abiding in Him. ~ Andrew Murray
Really Mean quotes by Andrew Murray
When a woman says, 'I have nothing to wear!', what she really means is, 'There's nothing here for who I'm supposed to be today. ~ Caitlin Moran
Really Mean quotes by Caitlin Moran
Do you really mean the only reason you try to be good is to gain God's approval and reward? That's not morality, that's just sucking up. ~ Richard Dawkins
Really Mean quotes by Richard Dawkins
It happens from time to time in every complex and active society, that certain persons feel the complexity and insistence as a tangle, and seek freedom in retirement, as Thoreau sought at Walden Pond. They do not, however, in this manner escape from the social institutions of their time, nor do they really mean to do so; what they gain, if they are successful, is a saner relation to them. ~ Charles Horton Cooley
Really Mean quotes by Charles Horton Cooley
Now, if you asked him what he was going to do with himself, he'd tell you he guessed he might do anything he set his mind to. But he'd say it in a far-off way, as if he didn't really mean it or care much at all. ~ Jennifer Niven
Really Mean quotes by Jennifer Niven
Academic freedom really means freedom of inquiry. To be able to probe according to one's own interest, knowledge and conscience is the most important freedom the scholar has, and part of that process is to state its results. ~ Donald Kennedy
Really Mean quotes by Donald Kennedy
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens. ~ Dora Russell
Really Mean quotes by Dora Russell
Irony tyrannizes us. All US irony is based on an implicit 'I don't really mean what I'm saying. ~ David Foster Wallace
Really Mean quotes by David Foster Wallace
I discover what I mean as I write. That can be both terrifically exciting and very dangerous, because when you look at your words later, you wonder, 'Did I really mean that, or am I just making verbal patterns?' ~ Peter Shaffer
Really Mean quotes by Peter Shaffer
I think that we live in a moment in time where people have a lot of information about a lot of people kind of instantly, but it's all sort of surface information and it doesn't really mean anything. ~ Jon Hamm
Really Mean quotes by Jon Hamm
Wild at Heart made a few people angry-they thought I was exploiting women by showing that when a woman says no she really means yes. ~ Laura Dern
Really Mean quotes by Laura Dern
If you smile when you are alone, then you really mean it, or you're up to something. ~ Saleem Sharma
Really Mean quotes by Saleem Sharma
We use important words too frequently and they lose value; for instance, charm and great. An actor or musician often is proclaimedgreat when we really mean he is outstanding. ~ Eleanor Robson Belmont
Really Mean quotes by Eleanor Robson Belmont
If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it. ~ Andy Rooney
Really Mean quotes by Andy Rooney
The narrative for girls is that you just hang around and wait to be "chosen" and then you belong to somebody and you live happily ever after. There isn't room for more nuanced concerns about the creepy proprietary nature of that relationship model, or the breadth of what fulfillment really means for women. ~ Lindy West
Really Mean quotes by Lindy West
Could I really mean so much to this man? Could this mess of a human being in his arms be his everything? ~ Lydia Kelly
Really Mean quotes by Lydia Kelly
Theseus made unscrupulous use of Ariadne (whom he left on an island where Bacchus later found her-I always think that really meant she took to drink, poor girl). ~ Diana Wynne Jones
Really Mean quotes by Diana Wynne Jones
That's editing, if I may say so. Choosing the shot. It's telling us everything. It's telling us things we don't even know it's telling us. It's not just telling us what these characters think, it's telling us what we think. It's manipulative as hell, there's no getting around it, but then all movies are manipulative. When people complain about a picture that's 'manipulative,' what they really mean is it's not very good at its manipulations, its manipulation is too obvious. ~ Steve Erickson
Really Mean quotes by Steve Erickson
By deepening the spiritual dialogue between the spiritual traditions of the various religions in a spirit of friendship, one begins to understand just what the classical terms of the various spiritual traditions really mean. ~ Thomas Keating
Really Mean quotes by Thomas Keating
When Carl asked the Brices to bring their whole family to therapy, everyone in the family knew intuitively what that meant. Their whole world would be exposed: all its caring, its history, its anger, its anxiety. All in one place at once time, subject to the scrutiny and invasion of a stranger. And that was too much vulnerability. With its own unconscious wisdom, the family elected Don to stay home and test the therapists. Did we really mean everybody? Would we weaken and capitulate if they didn't bring Don?

They had something to gain by the strategy. If we were hesitant and unconfident in our approach to their defiance, they would know that they could not trust us with the boiling cauldron of feeling which their family contained. If we were decisive and firm, they would guess that maybe we could handle the stresses which they intuitively knew had to be brought out into the open. One way or another, they had to find out how much power we had. In the meantime, they postponed facing that mysterious electricity, that critical mass, the whole family. Perhaps they thought they could be spared what Zorba called the full catastrophe. ~ Augustus Y. Napier
Really Mean quotes by Augustus Y. Napier
Love. What the hell did that word even mean? It got tossed around so flippantly, by everyone. What did it really mean? After all this time and everything that had happened, was he even capable? ~ C.J. Roberts
Really Mean quotes by C.J. Roberts
You ask me if I love you and what you really mean is will I devour you, envelope you, obliterate life for you and worse, will I allow you to do that to me. That's why I never answer you, because I do love you, but not in the way you want, and I never will. ~ Rona Jaffe
Really Mean quotes by Rona Jaffe
The question 'Who am I?' is not really meant to get an answer, the question 'Who am I?' is meant to dissolve the questioner. ~ Ramana Maharshi
Really Mean quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Now, on the subject of deterrence, I admit that there can be little doubt that as presently administered in the United States, the death penalty is not a general deterrent to murder in many, if not most, situations. . . .

But of one thing I am certain: it is, by God, a specific deterrent. No one who has been executed has ever taken another innocent life. And until such time as we really mean it as a society when we say 'imprisonment for life,' I, and the families of countless victims, would sleep better at night knowing there is no chance that the worst of these killers will ever again be able to prey on others. Even then, I personally believe that if you choose to take another human life, you ought to be prepared to pay with your own. ~ John E. Douglas
