There are things I've given up on
Like recording funny answering machine messages.
It's part of growing older
And the human race as a group has matured along the same lines.
It seems our comedy dates the quickest.
If you laugh out loud at Shakespeare's jokes
I hope you won't be insulted
if I say you're trying too hard.
Even sketches from the original Saturday Night Live
seem slow-witted and obvious now. ~ David Berman
Saturday Night Live quotes by David Berman
My comic sense, although deliberately Americanized, is, in its intent, much closer related to the crazy wisdom of Zen monks and the goofy genius of Taoist masters than it is to, say, the satirical gibes on Saturday Night Live. It has both a literary and a metaphysical function. ~ Tom Robbins
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tom Robbins
Trying to be a leader in a sort of very atypical workplace like 'Saturday Night Live' forces you to realize that no one wants you to be their leader. If you can help them get their thing on TV or whatever, they want that. But no adult is looking for a role model. ~ Tina Fey
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tina Fey
The entire behind the scenes of Saturday Night Live are all Canadian. ~ Jamie Farr
Saturday Night Live quotes by Jamie Farr
In what must surely be considered one of the great lost scripts of history (or a Saturday Night Live sketch), Chase brought his usual sensibility to a trial run, having Kevin discover The Catcher in the Rye and start smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, and conversing with the shade of Holden Caulfield. ~ Brett Martin
Saturday Night Live quotes by Brett Martin
The things I did on Saturday Night Live are going to stay as Saturday Night Live. You've never seen Eddie Murphy do a Gumby movie. There's a lot more new material inside of me. ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
My career has been in a weird kind of like low-flying under the radar-kind of place. I never made it on "Saturday Night Live" where all my friends did. ~ Jim Carrey
Saturday Night Live quotes by Jim Carrey
As Jack Handey advised in one of his "Deep Thoughts" on Saturday Night Live, before you criticize people, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. ~ Adam M. Grant
Saturday Night Live quotes by Adam M. Grant
Well, I loved variety in television, I loved sketch comedy. At 'Saturday Night Live,' I stayed almost seven years. ~ Dana Carvey
Saturday Night Live quotes by Dana Carvey
I think that's the thing I learned at 'Saturday Night Live' - any time I would try and strategize, I would always, always fall on my face. Things worked out when I tried to make it about what I was feeling at that moment and what I was into in that moment of my life. ~ Bill Hader
Saturday Night Live quotes by Bill Hader
I wanted to be on 'Saturday Night Live' since I was ten. ~ Olivia Wilde
Saturday Night Live quotes by Olivia Wilde
Now listen up - you cannot let a fear of failure, or a fear of comparison, or a fear of judgement, stop you from doing what's going to make you great. You cannot succeed without this risk of failure. You cannot have a voice without the risk of criticism. And you cannot love without the risk of loss. You must go out and you must take these risks.
Everything I'm truly proud of in this life has been a terrifying prospect to me - from my first play, to hosting 'Saturday Night Live', to getting married, to being a father, to speaking to you today. None of it comes easy. And people will tell you to do what makes you happy, but a lot of these has been hard work, and I'm not always happy.
And I don't think you should do just what makes you happy. I think you should do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable, and scary, and hard but pays off in the long run.
Be willing to fail. Let yourselves fail. Fail in a place, in a way you would want to fail. Fail, pick yourself up, and fail again. Because without this struggle, what is your success anyway? ~ Charlie Day
Saturday Night Live quotes by Charlie Day
I just play to progressive audiences. You know, if they're watching Discovery Channel, History Channel, that kind of thing, "Monty Python" have already laid the groundwork. They're known around the world. People like that kind of surrealist, left-field humor, and that's what I do. And "Saturday Night Live," a lot of American humor. "The Simpsons," above all, the weird, left-field humor, which I love. And sardonic. So that's all I'm doing. I find that audience, and they're in every developed country around the world. ~ Eddie Izzard
Saturday Night Live quotes by Eddie Izzard
I think 'Saturday Night Live', starting in the 1970s, really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers, from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner. ~ Emma Stone
Saturday Night Live quotes by Emma Stone
I'm more of a comedian. I wouldn't mind being on SNL (Saturday Night Live). I think that would be cool. ~ Cheyenne Kimball
Saturday Night Live quotes by Cheyenne Kimball
At the beginning of each week at 'Saturday Night Live,' we have a full cast meeting where Lorne Michaels introduces the upcoming host. ~ Bill Hader
Saturday Night Live quotes by Bill Hader
It's hard to imagine a time when Saturday nights didn't include the phrase "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night." Saturday Night Live is such an institution that you can forget or may not know that tuning in at 11:30 p.m. was once an adventure into the unknown, a true television event. ~ Penny Marshall
Saturday Night Live quotes by Penny Marshall
I'd love to become like Bill Murray, who was so funny on 'Saturday Night Live' and has gone on to do some of the landmark comedies people like. And then to add this whole other phase to his career with 'Lost in Translation' and 'Rushmore.' I always felt to be able to have something similar to that would be great. ~ Will Ferrell
Saturday Night Live quotes by Will Ferrell
Unlike a lot of comics, I didn't care about getting on 'Saturday Night Live.' That show had such history and was so established that I didn't see the point. ~ Artie Lange
Saturday Night Live quotes by Artie Lange
When I started on 'Saturday Night Live,' I had the choice of wearing contact lenses, which I had never worn before, or glasses, in order to be able to read the cue cards. ~ Tina Fey
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tina Fey
When I graduated from college, I moved to New York and started doing improv because I read all about the early 'Saturday Night Live' guys having come through Second City and learning how to improvise, so I wanted to get immediately into that. ~ Andy Daly
Saturday Night Live quotes by Andy Daly
Nihilism in American comedy came along way before 'The Simpsons.' There was a fairly nihilistic point of view to 'Saturday Night Live,' for instance, back in the beginning, and a lot of really dark comedy had a really anti-sentimental take on life. ~ Matt Groening
Saturday Night Live quotes by Matt Groening
Saturday Night Live is hitting me on a regular basis again. This is my fourth decade that I've been lampooned on Saturday Night Live. ~ Geraldo Rivera
Saturday Night Live quotes by Geraldo Rivera
I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets, so I was into the Mets ... then I got to 'Saturday Night Live' where my boss has unbelievable N.Y. Yankees tickets, so he invites us to the games. I'm going to all the games, so I might as well root for the team I'm gonna go sit with. ~ Jimmy Fallon
Saturday Night Live quotes by Jimmy Fallon
I had auditioned for 'Saturday Night Live' two or three times before and never really saw myself there. I looked up to Belushi and Bill Murray and Aykroyd and I never saw myself as in their world. ~ Dana Carvey
Saturday Night Live quotes by Dana Carvey
I actually wrote my first zombie book way before I got the job on 'Saturday Night Live.' ~ Max Brooks
Saturday Night Live quotes by Max Brooks
One of my recurring D-list moments is when people stop me in the airport and tell me they loved me on SNL. I never know if they think I'm Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, or Chris Kattan. I just say Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed me as Mango. ~ Kathy Griffin
Saturday Night Live quotes by Kathy Griffin
Basically, we used to have a rule at 'Saturday Night Live' that you're not allowed to bring up 'The Simpsons' at the rewrite table, because 'The Simpsons' has done every joke there is. Every week there would be guys going, 'The Simpsons did that.' I go, 'C'mon.' And 'South Park,' too. ~ Adam McKay
Saturday Night Live quotes by Adam McKay
I look back at 'Saturday Night Live' and I think, some people didn't like me doing 'Weekend Update.' Who cares? A lot of people did. When you're reaching that many people, you're not going to have everybody like you. ~ Kevin Nealon
Saturday Night Live quotes by Kevin Nealon
We were big Saturday Night Live and Eddie Murphy fans. ~ Illeana Douglas
Saturday Night Live quotes by Illeana Douglas
I first fell in love with comedy when I'd visit my granny as a kid. Trips to her house meant staying up late drinking Coca-Cola and watching 'Saturday Night Live'. ~ Jessica Williams
Saturday Night Live quotes by Jessica Williams
If it's something I feel I can do alright, I like being in those, and some that I think Schneider and Spade would be funnier at than me, I tell them to do it. I don't have any clue how we decide. There's this thing, this Click actually, one of my friends called me up, my partner told me about this idea that Steve Koren had. Steve Koren, by the way, the guy who wrote it with Mark O'Keefe, Steve Koren I've known since I was 22. He was a page at Saturday Night Live. ~ Adam Sandler
Saturday Night Live quotes by Adam Sandler
Went to Studio 54 where there was a birthday party for the black star on Saturday Night Live who's just signed to do a movie with Paramount. Eddie Murphy. ~ Andy Warhol
Saturday Night Live quotes by Andy Warhol
Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family, because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show. ~ Adam Sandler
Saturday Night Live quotes by Adam Sandler
I wasn't really qualified to be on Saturday Night Live - I'm not like an impressionist or anything. ~ Victoria Jackson
Saturday Night Live quotes by Victoria Jackson
I'd like to do 'Saturday Night Live.' ~ Willard Scott
Saturday Night Live quotes by Willard Scott
Sometimes I want to go into Saturday Night Live and rewrite some of the sketches because they're really not that good. ~ Jamie Farr
Saturday Night Live quotes by Jamie Farr
I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and it's such a funny show. I don't know if I'm funny enough to be on it but definitely would be interested in doing it. ~ Lindsey Vonn
Saturday Night Live quotes by Lindsey Vonn
I think people overplay the 'Saturday Night Live' schedule. I mean, yeah, it can be some late hours. But the late hours are usually only one or two nights out of the week. You might have a crazy six-day week, but you'll work three weeks, and then you get a week off work. I'd take most jobs if it was hard work and then I got a week off. ~ Hannibal Buress
Saturday Night Live quotes by Hannibal Buress
The first 'Saturday Night Live' season I was heavily interested in was the one with Martin Short, Billy Crystal, and Christopher Guest. There was just something about Martin Short in particular. I really related to him and hung on his every word and mannerism, so I started impersonating all of his characters as an 8th grader. ~ Andy Daly
Saturday Night Live quotes by Andy Daly
A friend of mine from college is married to Neil Levy, who started on 'Saturday Night Live' in the early days and is a really great guy and funny writer. ~ Richard LaGravenese
Saturday Night Live quotes by Richard LaGravenese
I'm a comedian, and I decided I wanted to be a comedian when I was eight years old watching old Saturday Night Live episodes. I never decided to be a rapper because I'm not a rapper. ~ Andy Samberg
Saturday Night Live quotes by Andy Samberg
I do miss Saturday Night Live, that's for sure. There's nothing like it. I just hosted, and I felt I'd only been away for a week. ~ Mike Myers
Saturday Night Live quotes by Mike Myers
When you build characters from the outside in, they become, oftentimes they become like 'Saturday Night Live' characters or they become like caricatures of the character. ~ Ashton Kutcher
Saturday Night Live quotes by Ashton Kutcher
From the time I was about 7 until I was about 13 or 14, I looked like I was Pat from 'Saturday Night Live.' I'm not exaggerating, remotely. ~ Kirsten Vangsness
Saturday Night Live quotes by Kirsten Vangsness
I remember when I was on 'Saturday Night Live' my first year, and I wasn't getting much. I was down; I was ready to quit. ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
I want to win a Grammy. I want to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. I want to be a musical guest on 'Saturday Night Live.' And I want to play arenas and have tons of people watching me. ~ Cheyenne Kimball
Saturday Night Live quotes by Cheyenne Kimball
The girls that I grew up with, and my friends and I, we just never had interests in common. I loved comedy. I loved Saturday Night Live, Gilda Radner, Lucille Ball, and Goldie Hawn movies. I just wanted to laugh. I liked women in comedy, and I liked male comics as I got a little older. My interests just never matched up with other girls'. ~ Amy Schumer
Saturday Night Live quotes by Amy Schumer
I'm not a child star, but you could say that I've grown up on TV. I went from being an unknown, down-and-out comic from Brooklyn and the Bronx to being a regular character on a major network comedy called 'Martin.' From there I went on to become the most notable black comic on 'Saturday Night Live' since Eddie Murphy. ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV, my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch 'Saturday Night Live.' ~ Rashida Jones
Saturday Night Live quotes by Rashida Jones
The Runaway Five's obvious influence is The Blues Brothers. During localization, their black and white suits were made more colorful to avoid legal action from Universal Pictures or the film's producers. When I told my wife Aviva about this, she admitted she had never seen The Blues Brothers film. Having grown up on a steady diet of Saturday Night Live-spawned movies, I told her that her innocence here was blasphemous. That night, we marveled together at James Brown's hair. ~ Ken Baumann
Saturday Night Live quotes by Ken Baumann
I enjoyed living in New York City, I liked the premise of the show [ Saturday Night Live], I liked working with a different host every week and different musicians. I always thought, "This is great. I never expected to get this in the first place, so I'm just happy being here." ~ Kevin Nealon
Saturday Night Live quotes by Kevin Nealon
You can go on 'Saturday Night Live' now and not even play live. ~ Raphael Saadiq
Saturday Night Live quotes by Raphael Saadiq
It was a terrible blow that was dealt when I was fired from 'Saturday Night Live', but I have to say that a few doors opened right away. Movie roles started to roll in, and pretty soon, I was over it. ~ Joan Cusack
Saturday Night Live quotes by Joan Cusack
Sometimes, just for fun, I type some random, silly word in front of the word porn and google it. Just to see if it exists. Because that means people out there are getting off on it. So I googled Nazi porn. Yupp. It exists. Then I googled goldfish porn. Yupp. Found it. Someone out there finds sex with goldfish arousing. Fart porn. Yes, that's a thing too, and it brings someone somewhere great pleasure. Stormtrooper porn. Yes, the force is strong with that one. And it's not even a Saturday Night Live parody. It's literally hardcore porn, featuring men dressed in Stormtrooper outfits. With surprisingly high production values. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Saturday Night Live quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live. ~ Sarah Silverman
Saturday Night Live quotes by Sarah Silverman
I've done movies with Oliver Stone and Michael Mann. And I've done quite a few dramas in my time, from the theatre to film work. I just think the audience is used to seeing me on 'Saturday Night Live,' and 'K-9,' and 'Curly Sue' and of course, 'According to Jim.' I think that my comedies have been the most popular. ~ James Belushi
Saturday Night Live quotes by James Belushi
It's a real democratic time for comedy, and I think my special is a sign for that. You don't have to just be a classic stand-up to get a special, or you don't just have to be on Saturday Night Live to do characters and sketch on TV. The web has allowed me to show that there are different ways to make people laugh, and the special is a combination of those things. ~ Nick Kroll
Saturday Night Live quotes by Nick Kroll
Now that he was actually introducing Eleanor to his mom, he couldn't help but see her the way his mom was going to.
His mom was a beautician who sold Avon. She never left the house without touching up her mascara. When Patti Smith was on Saturday Night Live, his mom had gotten upset – "Why she want to look like man? It's so sad."
Eleanor, today, was wearing her sharkskin suit jacket and an old plaid cowboy shirt. She had more in common with his grandpa than his mom.
And it wasn't just the clothes. It was her.
Eleanor wasn't … nice.
She was good. She was honorable. She was honest. She would definitely help an old lady across the street. But nobody – not even the old lady – would ever say, 'Have you met that Eleanor Douglas? What a nice girl.'
Park's mom liked nice. She loved nice. She liked smiling and small talk and eye contact … All things Eleanor sucked at.
Also, his mom didn't get sarcasm. And he was pretty sure it wasn't a language thing. She just didn't get it. She called David Letterman "the ugly, mean one on after Johnny. ~ Rainbow Rowell
Saturday Night Live quotes by Rainbow Rowell
The rules of improvisation appealed to me not only as a way of creating comedy, but as a worldview. Studying improvisation literally changed my life. It set me on a career path toward Saturday Night Live. It changed the way I look at the world, and it's where I met my husband. What has your cult done for you lately? ~ Tina Fey
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tina Fey
'Saturday Night Live' was like a university for funny. ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
'Saturday Night Live' is live television. Nothing can compare to that. ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
When a show has been on for so long, you lose fans, you gain fans. I remember this from 'Saturday Night Live.' ~ Kevin Nealon
Saturday Night Live quotes by Kevin Nealon
I was in high school when Will Ferrell was first on 'Saturday Night Live', and I remember thinking, 'Man, that guy is the funniest guy ever.' ~ Seth Rogen
Saturday Night Live quotes by Seth Rogen
The earliest stand-up comedy I was aware of was Bill Cosby. I watched Saturday Night Live as soon as I was aware of it, and Monty Python used to be on PBS at weird hours, so I used to try to watch that. And I loved George Carlin on SNL, that was the first stand-up I ever really remember seeing on TV. And then Steve Martin. I guess I was in fifth or sixth grade when Steve Martin showed up, and he was instantly my idol. And Richard Pryor around the same time too, I sort of became aware of him, though I don't remember the first time I saw him. ~ Louis C.K.
Saturday Night Live quotes by Louis C.K.
I mean, sitcoms shouldn't be doing 'Saturday Night Live.' You can't just do bit after bit after bit. You have to string it together with tight writing and performances. Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to do this. ~ Joyce DeWitt
Saturday Night Live quotes by Joyce DeWitt
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow, ~ Jane Curtin
Saturday Night Live quotes by Jane Curtin
I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and I really feel like people who have left before me have always stayed with the show. They never really quite left, which is nice. Everyone kind of stays close. ~ Fred Armisen
Saturday Night Live quotes by Fred Armisen
I think if you ask any of us here, we all dreamed of ending up on Saturday Night Live. I remember thinking, 'I'll just keep doing this as long as I can get away with it.' ~ Tina Fey
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tina Fey
When I got to 'Saturday Night Live,' it was a lot like going from pre-school to Harvard, and it took a long time to figure stuff out. ~ Bill Hader
Saturday Night Live quotes by Bill Hader
There have been, like, three auditions in my life where I feel like I'm in a 'Saturday Night Live' skit. ~ Chris Pine
Saturday Night Live quotes by Chris Pine
I can tell you how bad our boards are ... I don't have to watch Saturday Night Live anymore; I just go to the board meetings. ~ Carl Icahn
Saturday Night Live quotes by Carl Icahn
It's kind of hard coming from 'Saturday Night Live,' which is a sketch-driven show, to a movie. ~ Bob Newhart
Saturday Night Live quotes by Bob Newhart
Whatever I did on 'Saturday Night Live' is going to stay and remain on 'Saturday Night Live.' ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
We're shaking up a format, which I think is always a good thing. The thing about [2011 Oscar hosts] James [Franco] and Anne [Hathaway] is, they've both hosted Saturday Night Live, and they both did a good job at it. So they are accustomed to working with short rehearsal time, and live, lots of pressure, rewrites, things like that. They can make quick changes, which is very advantageous, and they're skilled comedians. ~ Bruce Vilanch
Saturday Night Live quotes by Bruce Vilanch
If I knew anything about what people wanted and was popular, I'd still be writing for 'Saturday Night Live'. I can only write what I want, and hopefully people will like it. ~ Max Brooks
Saturday Night Live quotes by Max Brooks
Most of the women in your life will outlast the men in your life. The Saturday Night Live ladies - Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Tina - and I text pictures of our kids back and forth all the time. It keeps us connected. As my nanny used to say, the older you get, the more important it is to know people that knew you when. ~ Amy Poehler
Saturday Night Live quotes by Amy Poehler
I enjoy getting to work on 'Saturday Night Live', where I get to do people like David Paterson. And then, its like a different muscle to do someone like a bicycle guy on' Portlandia'. ~ Fred Armisen
Saturday Night Live quotes by Fred Armisen
When I was on 'Saturday Night Live,' all I did was work. ~ Molly Shannon
Saturday Night Live quotes by Molly Shannon
'Saturday Night Live' was the joy of my life. ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
You know you're getting older when - well, first off, when you read almost any story that begins 'You know you're getting older when.' But you also know it when you not only never heard of the musical guest on a given 'Saturday Night Live' but never heard of the host, either. ~ Tom Shales
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tom Shales
Someone like Ashlee Simpson, she lip-synchs on 'Saturday Night Live,' gets totally called out la Milli Vanilli, and no one really cares that much. It doesn't make me hate Ashlee; she's just taking instructions. ~ Henry Rollins
Saturday Night Live quotes by Henry Rollins
Before I had children, everything about my life was devoted to Saturday Night Live. ~ Maya Rudolph
Saturday Night Live quotes by Maya Rudolph
'Saturday Night Live' was actually started with a show that Lorne Michaels and I did at a summer camp called Timberlane in Ontario when we were 14 and 15. We would do an improvisational show with music, comedy and acting. ~ Howard Shore
Saturday Night Live quotes by Howard Shore
The one thing I could do was voices and impersonations and weird characters, and there was really no call for that, except on Saturday Night Live. ~ Phil Hartman
Saturday Night Live quotes by Phil Hartman
I started on 'Saturday Night Live' the same time Conan started on Late Night. We just had a relationship because I would be upstairs in the studio and whenever he couldn't get a guest - which was often back then since he was just starting out - he would just call me down to be a guest. ~ Norm MacDonald
Saturday Night Live quotes by Norm MacDonald
I was voted Most Humorous in my senior class in high school, and I was a fan of comedy, my whole life. I never got into the horror genre, and action was fine, but I just loved comedy. Any comedy I could get my hands on, I would. I watched Saturday Night Live religiously. I've just been a fan of comedy, my whole life. ~ Rob Riggle
Saturday Night Live quotes by Rob Riggle
There was this real fear in doing 'Square Pegs' after getting such a fast ride to glory on 'Saturday Night Live'. I was afraid that the word would be 'peaks early, fails to live up to promise.' ~ Anne Beatts
Saturday Night Live quotes by Anne Beatts
I was the only "girl writer," probably because the power to make people laugh is also a power, so women have been kept out of comedy. Polls show that what women fear most from men is violence, and what men fear most from women is ridicule. Later, when Tina Fey was head writer and star of Saturday Night Live, she could still say, "Only in comedy does an obedient white girl from the suburbs count as diversity. ~ Gloria Steinem
Saturday Night Live quotes by Gloria Steinem
If you can survive 'Saturday Night Live,' then you're good as far as show business is concerned. ~ Tracy Morgan
Saturday Night Live quotes by Tracy Morgan
Making money isn't the main point of business. Money is a by-product ... A new product has been found, something of use to the world. A new industry moves into an undeveloped area. Factories go up, machines go in and you're in business. It's coincidental that people who've never seen a dime now have a dollar and barefooted kids wear shoes and have their faces washed. What's wrong with an urge that gives people libraries, hospitals, baseball diamonds and movies on a Saturday night? ~ Humphrey Bogart
Saturday Night Live quotes by Humphrey Bogart
I found myself one evening in the dreams of the night, in that sacred building, the Temple. After a
season of prayer and rejoicing, I was informed that I should have the privilege of entering into one of
those rooms, to meet a glorious personage, and as I entered the door, I saw, seated on a raised
platform, the most glorious Being my eyes have ever beheld, or that I ever conceived existed in all the
eternal worlds. As I approached to be introduced, he arose and stepped towards me with extended
arms, and he smiled as he softly spoke my name. If I shall live to be a million years old, I shall never
forget that smile. He took me into his arms and kissed me, pressed me to His bosom, and blessed me,
until the marrow of my bones seemed to melt! When He had finished, I fell at His feet, and as I bathed
them with my tears and kisses, I saw the prints of the nails in the feet of the Redeemer of the world.
The feeling that I had in the presence of Him who hath all things in His hands, to have His love, His
affection, and His blessings was such that if I ever can receive that of which I had but a foretaste, I
would give all that I am, all that I ever hope to be, to feel what I then felt (as cited in Bryant S.
Hinckley, The Faith of Our Pioneer Fathers, pp. 226-27.) ~ Melvin J. Ballard
Saturday Night Live quotes by Melvin J. Ballard
Our fantastic civilization has fallen out of touch with many aspects of nature, and with none more completely than with night. Primitive folk, gathered at a cave mouth round a fire, do not fear night; they fear, rather, the energies and creatures to whom night gives power; we of the age of the machines, having delivered ourselves of nocturnal enemies, now have a dislike of night itself. With lights and ever more lights, we drive the holiness and beauty of night back to the forests and the sea; the little villages, the crossroads even, will have none of it. Are modern folk, perhaps, afraid of night? Do they fear that vast serenity, the mystery of infinite space, the austerity of stars? Having made themselves at home in a civilization obsessed with power, which explains its whole world in terms of energy, do they fear at night for their dull acquiescence and the pattern of their beliefs? Be the answer what it will, to-day's civilization is full of people who have not the slightest notion of the character or the poetry of night, who have never even seen night. Yet to live thus, to know only artificial night, is as absurd and evil as to know only artificial day. ~ Henry Beston
Saturday Night Live quotes by Henry Beston
What had happened was this: I fell out of my own map. It's an easy thing to do, especially in middle age, but really it can happen at any time. We all live by different lights - success, for some, desire for others - and take our bearings along different dreams. Some of us fly west with the night, into the unknown, urged on by adventure; others look only for the harbor lights, and stay safely in sight of home. But whichever way we choose, we come to rely on the sameness of our days, on the fact that for years at a time the road ahead looks much like the road behind, the horizon clear, the obstacles negotiable. And yet from time to time we stumble into wilderness. It can happen to anyone, at any age: the graduate putting away the cap and gown, the fifty-five-year-old rereading the layoff notice, the wife staring at the empty side of the still-warm bed. Now what? they whisper as they look ahead to a place where the landmarks disappear, and the map reads TERRA INCOGNITA. ~ Lynn Darling
Saturday Night Live quotes by Lynn Darling
It is only when we speak what is right that we stand a chance at night of being blown to bits in our homes. Can we call this a free country, when I am afraid to go to sleep in my own home in Mississippi? ... I might not live two hours after I get back home, but I want to be a part of setting the Negro free in Mississippi. ~ Fannie Lou Hamer
Saturday Night Live quotes by Fannie Lou Hamer
I'd love to go out on a Saturday night with my friends and watch a movie, but that happens really like once a year or a couple of times. ~ Lydia Ko
Saturday Night Live quotes by Lydia Ko
Psalm 63 A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. 1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. 4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. 5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. 6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. 7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. ~ Beth Moore
Saturday Night Live quotes by Beth Moore
I decided we should get married no more of this running-through-the-rain shit. We should live in the same place, sleep in the same bed at night, wake up together in the morning, and whenever there's a tornado, I can take care of you and watch Baseball at the same time. ~ Curtis Sittenfeld
Saturday Night Live quotes by Curtis Sittenfeld
Oh, I wish I lived in a caravan!' said Jimmy longingly. 'How lovely it must be to live in a house that has wheels and can go away down the lanes and through the towns, and stand still in fields at night! ~ Enid Blyton
Saturday Night Live quotes by Enid Blyton
You may try your experiment for a week and see how you like it. I think by Saturday night you will find that all play and no work is as bad as all work and no play ~ Louisa May Alcott
Saturday Night Live quotes by Louisa May Alcott
