He noted that she sipped the wine immediately, without the usual ritual of those accustomed to sampling fine vintages... no swirling of the glass to test the aroma, or the rivulets that the English called "legs" and the French more poetically referred to as "tears." As a member of the beau monde, Vivien should have been experienced at such a ritual. However, she did not look like a worldly courtesan accustomed to the finer things in life... she looked like a sheltered, naive young woman. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Vivien Duvall quotes by Lisa Kleypas
I train myself mentally with visualization. The morning of a tournament, before I put my feet on the floor, I visualize myself making perfect runs with emphasis on technique, all the way through to what my personal best is in practice ... The more you work with this type of visualization, especially when you do it on a day-to-day basis, you'll actually begin to feel your muscles contracting at the appropriate times. ~ Camille Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Camille Duvall
You have a caller."
"Leah from Little Gifts?"
"Yes."
"She came to see me?"
"Why does she want to see me?"
David's deep brown eyes danced with suppressed laughter. "Perhaps because she likes your big hands. ~ Dianne Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Dianne Duvall
Aden St. George managed to avoid having to kill the guard stationed outside his quarry's crypt-like cell, although the thug outside the caves hadn't been so lucky. Still, that bastard had tried to knife him in the gut so Aden could hardly be faulted for returning the favor. And knowing what he did about the men who'd kidnapped Lady Vivien Shaw, he wouldn't waste his fitful conscience on that brutal but necessary act. Killing was not a favorite pastime, but only rarely did it disturb his sleep.
Tonight's rescue mission carried no inconvenient opportunities for remorse since a woman's life and innocence hung in the balance. True, the gossips whispered that Lady Vivien's innocence was an open question, but what would happen to her if Aden failed wasn't. Without his intervention she would disappear into a nightmarish life, forever beyond the protection of her family and friends. ~ Vanessa Kelly
Vivien Duvall quotes by Vanessa Kelly
Victoria stared at her sister with a beaming smile. She was struck as always by the sense that Vivien was at once familiar and exotic. How was it possible to love someone and yet never understand her? Vivien belonged to a world so far removed from her own that it seemed impossible they had come from the same family, much less that they were twins.
Vivien was the first to break the silence. "It turns out you were right to refuse all my invitations to come to town. London is definitely not the place for you, country mouse. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Vivien Duvall quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Somewhere along the line, Bob said I'd better begin taking this business seriously, because, whether I liked it or not, I had a career. ~ Shelley Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Shelley Duvall
I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience. ~ Robert Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Robert Duvall
I try to keep an open mind but I'm so tired of the mediocrity. ~ Clea Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Clea Duvall
I have loved to the limit of my strength. No one has a right to ask more of any human being. ~ Renee Vivien
Vivien Duvall quotes by Renee Vivien
There was no higher art than music and no purer musical form than song. ~ Vivien Shotwell
Vivien Duvall quotes by Vivien Shotwell
Vivien also knew that the affair was one-sided and that her feelings were not something she would ever share with him. ~ Kate Morton
Vivien Duvall quotes by Kate Morton
Ethan stared at Krysta. A teasing gleam entered his eyes, making Étienne narrow his own as his hackles rose. Offering Krysta a flirtatious grin, Ethan said, "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours."
In a heartbeat, Étienne drew a dagger and threw it.
The hilt struck Ethan right in the center of his forehead, snapping his head back. "Ow! Shhhhit! What the hell, man?"
Krysta gaped up at Étienne, who squirmed as everyone at the table stared at him.
He cleared his throat , but didn't know what to say. He hadn't really meant to do that. He had just reacted.
"Oh yeah," Sheldon said. "He has fallen and he has fallen hard. ~ Dianne Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Dianne Duvall
It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh. ~ Vivien Leigh
Vivien Duvall quotes by Vivien Leigh
I stole some of your lollipops."
"Really. Well, if you're in the mood to lick something ... "
She laughed.
"We can hear you," Seth called.
"So?" Marcus countered and kissed his wife again.
"So she's like a daughter to me, jackass."
"Yeah," David seconded. "There's a reason I poured thousands of dollars into soundproofing your bedroom."
"Hmm." Marcus sounded thoughtful. "I do believe your family is trying to tell me I should take you to bed."
"That isn't what I - oh screw it," Seth muttered. ~ Dianne Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Dianne Duvall
If I ended my career, I wouldn't mind doing a TV series if it was a western and I played a mute gunfighter so I wouldn't have to remember lines every week. ~ Robert Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Robert Duvall
I don't know if I was a desirable person, not just physically but emotionally and mentally and intellectually. I still have a long way go and a lot to learn, but I'm on my way, I don't think I'm terribly attractive, but I'm comfortable with my looks. ~ Shelley Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Shelley Duvall
My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American. ~ Vivien Leigh
Vivien Duvall quotes by Vivien Leigh
There's no right or wrong just truthful or untruthful. ~ Robert Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Robert Duvall
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns. ~ Robert Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Robert Duvall
When I'm at home in Virginia, I become more hermit-like. I like my own home. ~ Robert Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Robert Duvall
We need to learn from the past and plan for the future, but live in the present; remember in the present, plan in the present, BE in the present. ~ Dale R. Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Dale R. Duvall
He's an immortal from Brazil," Chris said. "His mortal lover, whom he thought was completely trustworthy, videotaped them having sex - "
"Awesome!" Sheldon interjected with a grin.
Everyone looked at him.
"What? I like porn."
Still they stared.
He frowned. "I have to give up booze, parties, and porn? Can't a Second have any vices?"
Chris sighed. "Anyway. She videotaped them having sex and intended to auction it off to news outlets once it had been authenticated by an expert who would swear the glowing eyes, fangs, and . . . ah . . . unusual speed and other things demonstrated were not special effects produced by a post-production house."
"Maybe they were," Sheldon suggested somberly. "Maybe she was out to discredit him. I think we should all watch it and - "
"The tape has been destroyed," Seth cut in.
"Damn." Sheldon slumped down in his seat.
Chris met Richart's gaze. "Anytime you want me to get rid of him . . ."
Richart shook his head. "He amuses me. ~ Dianne Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Dianne Duvall
When you shift the gear and that little needle on the tach goes into the red and reads 9,000 rpm, that's bad. ~ Robert Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Robert Duvall
I sat next to Robert Duvall at the lawyers' table for six weeks, and it's still probably the best six weeks of my life. ~ Peter Jacobson
Vivien Duvall quotes by Peter Jacobson
If you ever endanger her life again by pulling some stupid shit like that, I will rip your fucking arms off and beat you to death with them ~ Dianne Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Dianne Duvall
I once told a very serious writer/poet I knew about how obsessed I was with various women's lives. I think I was talking about Vivien Leigh at the time, as I was working on a book dealing with former screen legends, that I have since abandoned. Or perhaps the mad wives. I don't know. This poet was very serious, very pure. Derrida in the AM. Pronouncing his name correctly. That sort of thing. She fixed me with some look - this was maybe 7 years ago - and said - more than a bit dismissingly - oh, you're very interested with lives. Or maybe she said: Oh, you're very interested in these women's lives. And I said, yes, I guess I am. I remember feeling guilty - like this wasn't a writerly thing to be interested in, the subject of others' lives. That this was gossip. That being unliterary, somehow. This devouringness. I have since realized that most of the works I'm interested in, are about absolute obsession with other people's lives, often real-people's lives, and these works become unserious biographies, avant-garde acts of gossip, while still working within the structure of the novel. ~ Kate Zambreno
Vivien Duvall quotes by Kate Zambreno
He threw the plastic razor into the bin ~ Vivien Sparx
Vivien Duvall quotes by Vivien Sparx
When I'd finished, everybody said they wanted me for this movie. At first I thought they meant a nudie flick since an awful lot of nudies are made in Houston. ~ Shelley Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Shelley Duvall
If you'd just told me you wanted her for yourself, I wouldn't have opened my mouth. Asshole."
"He doesn't want me for himself," Melanie said. "He isn't looking for a relationship."
"It doesn't matter if he's looking," Richart grumbled. "He's found one. The two of you can't take your eyes off each other. And in the rare moments you do, you usually touch."
"What?" Bastien said the same time Melanie did.
Was she as appalled that her feelings were so transparent as he was?
"Don't worry." Richart drew out a handkerchief and wiped his crimson lips. "I doubt anyone else has noticed. Bastien is usually too busy pissing them all off."
"He doesn't piss you off?" Melanie asked.
"Other than just now" - Richart glared at Bastien - "no. I've spent enough time in his company that I've become immune to his bullshit. ~ Dianne Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Dianne Duvall
I offer you a second way of approaching the moment where everything in your life just stops, this one from the actor Robert Duvall: "I exist very nicely between the words 'action' and 'cut.'"
And even a third way: "It doesn't present as pain," I once heard an oncological surgeon say of cancer. ~ Joan Didion
Vivien Duvall quotes by Joan Didion
A half-drowned stranger was more exciting than a bruised and exhausted daughter. She could be dying for all they'd care, she thought angrily, picking at a deep scratch on her leg, trying to make it bleed again. ~ Vivien Alcock
Vivien Duvall quotes by Vivien Alcock
What if I had refused your request?" she said with a shake of her head. He laughed. "Then I would have had my carriage turned around, of course." She folded her arms with a smile she couldn't help. "You are always so certain of yourself." His smile faded slightly. "Never with you. You forever set me off my axis." He inched closer and suddenly there was a tension in the carriage that had nothing to do with teasing flirtation or friendly discussion. He wanted her. And Vivien wanted him equally. ~ Jess Michaels
Vivien Duvall quotes by Jess Michaels
English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously. ~ Vivien Leigh
Vivien Duvall quotes by Vivien Leigh
Gabriel? She placed a kiss to his shoulder and laid her head against it.
We should move, she whispered.
Um hmm. Getting there.
She laughed. The water's getting cold.
Water?
Water from the shower, she said with a giggle.
We're taking a shower? ~ GiGi Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by GiGi Duvall
It was Ernie Haller, who had photographed Bette Davis in Jezebel and Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind, who was solely responsible for the visuals in Mildred Pierce, said Crawford. "Ernie was at the rehearsals. And so was Mr. [Anton] de Grot, who did the sets. I recall seeing Ernie's copy of the script and it was filled with notations and diagrams. I asked him if these were for special lights and he said, 'No, they're for special shadows.' Now, that threw me. I was a little apprehensive. I was used to the look of Metro, where everything, including the war pictures, was filmed in blazing white lights. Even if a person was dying there was no darkness. But when I saw the rushes of Mildred Pierce I realized what Ernie was doing. The shadows and half-lights, the way the sets were lit, together with the unusual angles of the camera, added considerably to the psychology of my character and to the mood and psychology of the film. And that, my dear, is film noir." "Mildred ~ Shaun Considine
Vivien Duvall quotes by Shaun Considine
What matters to us, the judgment of men? What have we to doubt, since we are pure before life? ~ Renee Vivien
Vivien Duvall quotes by Renee Vivien
I love Les Beaux Peeps. Everyone in that band works together really well. I used to go out to see bands a lot; now it seems there just aren't any I like. ~ Clea Duvall
Vivien Duvall quotes by Clea Duvall
It's hard to be scared when there are 80 people around you. ~ Clea Duvall
